Code CrackinQ
Known by Jdps
BY JOHN T. FLYNN

Written Especially for the Hearst Newspapers
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20-It is
now plain that the administration
has been pulling the wool over
our eyes about the codes.
They have declared the Japs
were using a certain machine code
To communicate with their en-
voys here in 1941 and that they
were using the same code in 1945.
Our government did not want
the Japs to know we had dupli-
Gated their machine because, in
that case, the Japs would make
more frequent changes in their
ciphers. But unfortunately, the
Japs did know we had broken il.
And this important fact has been
diligently concealed by the ad-
miniStration.- up 10 now. .
This resulted in changes at
frequent intervals of the ciphers
which the JapS were sending
through their code machines.
They were not sending their mes
sages in the same cipherS in 1912
or '43 or as that they were using
in 1941. as we were told. They
changed the ciphers frequently.
AS a matter of fact, ! am in
formed, on one occasion. when a
new cipher was introduced, il
took our experts six weeks to
crack il.

Bids on the Dupont Circle under

District this spring.
Engineer Commissioner Gordon r.
Young said yesterday the project
cleared its last planning stage hurdle
when it was approved by the Joint
Board of the Commissioners and the
Public Utilities Commission just be-
fore Christmas.
Brig. Gen. Young said the utilities
companies had been advised to draw
up their plans for relocating gas
mains, power lines and the like pre-
liminary to actual construction work
Less Costly Plan.
Present plan provide for an under
pass in line with Connecticut avenue

cars will pass underground around
the outside perimiter of the circle
Northbound cars for Mount Pleas
ant will 60 around the east side
while the downtown streetcars
southbound will pass on the west
Gil SiQC.
Gen. Young predicted this plan
will result in considerable financial
saving over the previous plan. This
would have had both vehicles and
streetcars passing under the center
Iof the circle at different levels. A
mezzanine connected to the street
corners by passageways would have
provided access to the streetcars.
b PRA to Pay Half.
No estimates of cost have yet been
prepared on present plans, accord
ing to Highway Director H. C. White
hurst, and they may not be- COM
plete for several months. Gen
Young said, however, he hoped for
the advertising of the project this
spring with completion to follow
within a year.
The underpass is included in the
Districts postwar highway plan SUBJ
