First, I did this as q
matter of training" Richard
son explained.
Then, because of my
knowledge of the Japanese
and Panay incident, although
l felt at the same time there
was no immediate danger Of
japanese attack, l thought
some fanatical and ilI-advised
officer might attack"
SENSED WARNING
The burly admiral, who was
succeeded at Pearl Harbor by
Rear Adm. Kimmel, said that he
also felt Adm. Harold r. Stark,
then chief of naval operations,
might not have all the informa-
tion available, Or might not fully
the implications at
hand and was warning me to be
alert"
II wanted the patrol so that
Ii could not be said of me Il
something happened that 1 had
done nothing about it," Richard
son testified.
Richardson informed the COM
mittee that on Nov. %, 1910, he
came to the conclusion that the
fleet must maintain a wartime
alert although the nation was at
peace.
He said that late in December.
lS40, he issued a directive as fol.
lows:
"Ships shall not anchor In un-
protected anchorages.
Pearl Harbor Is a protected
anchorage"
LEARNS OF TRANSFER
Immediately afterwards, Rich
ardSon continued, he began q
comprehensive revision of this de
rective and while he was doing
so he learned that he was 10 be
succeeded in the Pacific by Kim
mel.
He ordered his staff to confer
with the prospective staff COM
manderS Of Kimmel and the order
subsequently was issued under
kimme1s signature little changed
when k1rn1ne1 took over command
at Pearl Harbor.
Had 1 remained I'm COM
mand, this order would have
been under my signature and
have been substantially the
Same order" the admiral said.
Richardson also told the COM
mittee that President Roosevelt
in 1910 opposed the admirals
recommendation that an increase
in the navy'S manpower was i'm.
perative.
SPEEDY TRANSITION
Richardson said that in July,
1910. Mr.. Roosevelt expressed the
belief that mechanical tradeSnen
could be quickly inducted and

Richardson. adding TO his
startling story Of the. late presi-
dents inSiStence that the Pacific
feet be kept in Hawaiian waters
despite the admirals objections,
said he had lunch with Mr.. Roose-

VICTORY!
(Clipped)

The second Worl War is over.
Japan has surrendered uncon-
ditionally on the terms laid down
in the Potsdam declaration and
Emperor Hirohito has promised
meekly to carry out the orders OF
the Supreme Allied Commander
in-Chief, who will be Gen. Doug
las Macarthur, enforcing the sur
render terms.
Thus ends the bloodiest and
costieSt conflict in the worlds
history-a conflict that has cost
America more than one million
casualties and three hundred bill
lion dollars. The cost to h e
world was more than $1,000, 900
casualties and the well nigh UNI
beIevable SUM of a trillion dol
lars in money, materials and re-
sources.
The President announced the
surrender at o'clock Monday
evening. precipitating a nation
wide celebration, which began on
Pennsylvania Avenue in front of
the White House and spread thru
out the country as though by pre-
arranged signal. But it was not
prearranged-it was spontaneous
and genuine, expressing the re-
lease of pent-up emotions and
the end of the almost unbear-
able suspense which has gripped
the American people for the past
three days. since the President in
the name of the Allied powers
had served notice on the Japan
csc government that the surren-
der must be absolutely uncon-
ditional, unequivocal and with
out reservations of any kind
The Japanese reply, received
in Washington late Monday after
noon, was laid before the Presi-
dent at once and at z o'clock Mr..
Truman summoned the news and
radio correspondents to his Of
flee and announced that the re-
ply constituted ga full. accept
ance of the Potsdam declaration

pay the price for the evils they
have brewed. They inflicted un-
told misery upon the human race.
Misery must now be their portion
as they repent of their sins in
sackcloth and ashes.
AS the President of the United
States. the country boy from Mis-
souri, who came up the hard way
to the greatest office in all the
world, said in his informal and
unrehearsed speech to the throng
in front of the White House Mon
day evening:
"This is a great day. This is
the day we've been looking for
since Dec. 7, 1941. This is the day
when Facist and police govern
ments cease to exist in the world.
This is the day of democracy. 1t
is the day when we can start the
real task-the augmentation of
free government in the world
We face the greatest task ever
faced-the greatest emergency
since Dec. 7, 1941. I know w e
are going to do it,"
