LOST MESSAGE
AIRED AT PROBE
By WILLIAM T. PEACOCK

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-R-
The Pearl Harbor investigating
committee today ran up against
the question whether there was a
'1ost" navy warning message in
tended to go to the Pacific fleet
the night before Japan's Dec. Z,
1941, attack.
Admiral Husband E. Kimmel
related that the late secretary OF
the navy Knox, talking with him at
Pearl Harbor five days after the
attack, was positive" a message
was sent.
Knox flew to Hawaii to investi-
gate the damage. Kimmel said
that as he recalled Knox arrived
on Dec. IL land almost the first
thing he asked me was if we got
the message Saturday night" The
attack was on Sunday morning.
Kimmel, fleet commander at the
time, said that if such dispatch
was prepared it must have gotten
''bogged down in the navy depart
ment," for he never received it.
He told the committee he be-
ieved 1t. Gen. Walter C. Short,
army command in Hawaii, and Ad-
mirals c. c. Block and w. w.
Smith were present when Knox
referred to the supposed message.
The committee has received
testimony that the only major dis
patch sent to Kimmel after Nov.
q "war warning" was a Dec.
message advising that the Japa-
nese here and in London were de-
stroying their code machines.
Kinmel made no reference to
the nature of the reported Dec. 6
message but Senator Brewster Or
Maine), who had asked him about
it, told reporters he was informed
it was supposedly warning.
At one point in his questioning,
Brewster commented that top war
and navy department officials had
Eaore information on Japan's plans
than Kimmel did and they had
testified they were surprised by
Japan's attack. He suggested that
there was more reason for Kim
mel to be surprised.
Brewster then picked up clip.
ping he said was from the New
York Times of Oct. 8, 1914, which
quoted Mrs. Franklin D. Roose-
welt as saying that at the White
House the attack was "far from
the shock" 1t was to the rest Of
the country.
1--WE had expected something OF
the sort for a long time" MRS.
Roosevelt was quoted as saying.
Brewster asked Kimmel wheth-
er 'that expectation was conveyed
to you"
Saying it had rot. Kinmel added
that Knox told him mo one in
Washington expected the attack.

Legislation to liberalize the rail-

by the Senate Friday.

amendment, which the House agreed
to. struck from the bill provisions
extending coverage TO employees of
freight forwarders and trucking
concerns. The House adopted the
Senate changes by roll-call vote

Motion Ignored
Meanwhile, the Senate spent most
OF Saturday in futile attempt to
get the Bulwinkle bill before It.
Senator Reed. Republican. of Kan
sas tried to persuade the Senate
to consider the measure, but the
chamber quit for the day without
voting on his motion. BY "ad iourn-
ing" instead of "recessing" until
Monday, the Senate displaced the
