DR.. Leach also stated today that the

sad ne did not pay particular attention
to the statement at that time because he
believed Admiral Benson was intensely
antl-British. The witness was reluctant
to give the name of the officer but the
chairman insisted
The Admiral told the committee he had
always regarded the admonition as "a
personal prejudice on the part of Admiral
BENSON He described the former chief
OF operations as AN outstanding honest
man who has strong convictions" ana
added he believed everything that Adj
miral Benson did during the war was
done conscientiously 1t was due
largely to Admiral Benson's confidence in
him that he was selected for the high
post he occupied during the war, Admiral
Sims said, adding that in urging his Sc
