By this Associated p,ssx

SEATTLE. June 27.--The Govern
meat was ready with Its key witness
today in the first American trial

Commission paid Kennedy several
hundred dollars for detailed plans
of a new type destroyer tender, and
offered as much as $1,000 more for
specific additional information. The
Government attorney said Mr.. Ken
nedy WAS in touch with the FBI
throughout.
Mr.. Kennedy, British subject,

defense because of what ii could
do for destroyers in our fleet"
He said its superior servicing, re-
pair and fueling facilities increased
nine-fold the ralge of United States

Mr.. Pomeroy charged that 1t
