LOS ANGELES, July 3l.-A for
mer Government investigator told a
legislative committee yesterday he
had gathered evidence of Commun-
istic activities by intellectuals of the
artists and writer's colony at Car
mel
The witness, Charles G. Backsy,
told the committee investigating
subversive activities he was en-
ployed by San Francisco ship owners
shortly before the 1885 waterfront
strike there to look into Communist
affairs.
In Carmel. he said, he rented
large house and, posing as Com
munist sympathizer under the name
of Capt Charles Y. Sharkey, gave
parties which we're attended by
college professors, school teachers,
writer's and professional men.
Kept Guest Book.
"I kept a guest book in which
we're listed the names Of important
Communists who visited me, and in
every room of the house dictographs
were installed to record their con-
versations."
At the instance of a group of col
,eee professors. he declared, Carmel
writer's were employed by the COM
n1issar for heavy industry Of Amtorg,
Soviet trade organization, to pre-
pare Communist pamphlets.
II obtained the confidence of party
members and was able to visit the
Soviet consul in San Francisco,
where I listened in on short-wave
conversations with Moscow, and
where | saw secret cabinets stuffed
with records of Communist opera
tions in the United States"
"Signaled" to Crews.
As an evidence of his Communis-
tic sympathies, he installed a big
electric star on the roof of his house
to signal Communist crew members
on ships at sea.
The signaling was just to let them
know they had friends ashore"

interference with domestic mail is
unlikely.
During the discussion of censor
ship and the protection of wartime
information, the President was
asked about the alleged fifth COL
umn activities of the Japanese in
Hawaii and in the Philippines. He
said these developments are being
investigated and steps taken to pre-
vent their recurrence elsewhere
In announcing creation of a CEN
sorship agency and appointment Of
Mr.. Price, who is taking leave of
absence from the Associated
Press to direct the work, the
President read the following state
ment:,
"All Americans abhor censorship
just as they abhor war But the
experience Of this and of all other
nations has demonstrated that some
degree of censorship is essential in
war time. -
Necessary for Security.
THE important thing now is that
such forms of censorship as are
necessary shall be administered ef-
fectively and in harmony with the
Evening star., 1941-12-16

best interests of our free institu-
tions.
"It is necessary to the national
security that military information
which might be Of aid to the enemy
be scrupulously withheld At the
source.
1T Is necessary that a watch be
SGT upon our borders, SO that no such
information may reach the enemy
inadvertently or otherwise, through
| the medium Of the mails, radio Of
cable transmission, or by any Other
means.
"1t Is necessary that prohibitions
against = domestic publication o.
some types Of information, con-
tanned in long existing statutes, bt
rigidly enforced.
Finally the Government has
called upon q patriotic press ano
| radio to abstain voluntarily from
the dissemination Of detailed in.

reports Of the movements OF vesseli
and troops. The response has indi-
Gated a universal desire TO coop

Mr.. Prices task, the President
concluded. will be to coordinate al
Of these requirements and under.
takings under . single uniform
| policy.
Mr.. Price has been with the Asso.
ciated Press since 1912, serving from
1922 to 1887 in the Washington bu
reau. In the last 10 years here HI
was bureau chief In 1887 he wen

Official Army and Navy accounts
place casualties in the armed serv-
ices from Japan's December 7 at
tack on the Pearl Harbor base at
1897 killed, 26 missing and 879
wounded. Unofficial estimates were
that 40 civilians died, with no re-
ports on civilian wounded or miss
ing.
Warcraft losses were one battle
ship, three destroyers, one target
ship and one mine layer. The
battleship Oklahoma and an un-
stated number Of smaller craft were
damaged.
The casualties:

as wounded. The Army lost 1853
killed and 223 wounded and 26 re-

In addition. the Navy suffered
damage to several ships, These in
cluded the battleship Oklahoma,
which capsized but can be righted
and repaired.
Report Received with Relief.
On the whole, Secretary Knox's
report was received with consider
able relief. AS Representative Mag
nuson, Democrat, of Washington
put tiff that's all the loss, We
still have naval superiority in the
Pacific, and I have no doubt that
the Navy will make up ten times
over for each ship lost"
Senator Lee, Democrat, of Okla
homa. characterized the sinking of
battleship and five other craft and
the damaging Of others as tough" 4"
but added sit can't be helped now,
and the fellows who were at fault
this time will not be at fault again"
Representative 1zac, Democrat, of
California, who was aboard a trans
port sunk by torpedo in the World
War, asserted "the damage isn't ir-
reparable. And the Pacific feet still
is adequate for the job"
Senator Wheeler, Democrat. of
Montana. who opposed administra-
ton foreign policy steps in the past,
said he was glad there was to be
an investigation.
But it would seem to me-" Sen
ator Wheeler added, that what we
need is new Secretary of the
Navy. 1t is impossible for me to
understand how a catastrophe like
this one could have happened if we
had a Secretary of the Navy who
was on the alert"
Statement Called Amazing.
Chairman Connally Of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee called
Col. Knoxs statement that the Navy
| and Army were not on the alert at
Pearl Harbor amazing" "astound-
ing" and almost unbelievable"
The naval commander and the
Army general should be investigated
vigorously" he continued. Theirs
is the responsibility and it ought
to be determined whether either OF
both are inefficient or .criminally
negligent. They must be one or the
other"

them of equal and prime impor-
tance.
The reasons for the bill are more
fully set forth in the letter sent by
the Secretary of War on Saturday
last to Representative May and Sen
ator Reynolds. I indorse without
qualification the Secretary's state
ment in that letter"
Counting the 17,500,000 already
registered between ages 81 and 35,
passage of the pending bill would
raise the registered manpower to
