Japs Told ConsuIs To Burn Their
 Important Papers

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3-CP)- Congressional investigators heard that It. Gen. Shorts staff were informed before the Pearl Harbor attack that the Jap Consul in Honolulu was burning his import ant papers. The question of whe- ther Gen. Short ever saw the Navy message at Pearl HarbOr, telling of the Jap order in code for the destruction by their consuls, in Allied countries has been in dis pute.
 Maj. Gen. Sherman Miles, head of the Army Intelligence Division in 194l, read the Senate and House committee an affidavit which he said he obtained from Col George Bicknell, then Hawaiian Intelli- gence officer. Bicknell said that on December 194l, he learned from naval officers about the Jap message to their cOnsuls. Bicknell added he learned from Robert Shivers, FBI head in Honolulu, that the local consul was destroy ing his papers. Bicknell said he re- ported this information at a staff meeting held for Short. The affi- daVit didn't make clear whether Short himself was in attendance. Committee aides said that Gen eral Marshall would testify Thurs day.
