Does Not Believe
Navy intercepted
WoFning Message

washington, Feb 7--tUP)-Capt.
A. d. Kramer said today he does
not believe the Navy Department
intercepted a message which re-
vealed Japans decision for war
with the United States prior TO
Dec. Z, 1871.
Kramer told Congress Pearl Har-
Dor Investigating Committee he
once regarded an intercept which
he saw Dec. 5, 1871 as q genuine
Winds Code" message meaning
that Japan was going TO war.
But, ne said, he Is convinced noH
that the paper he saw on that occa-
sion was just one Of many false
alarms"
The Winds Code was set up by
Japan as q means Of notifying her
diplomats abroad when relations
we're TO be broken with the u. s..
Britain or Russia.
Kramer explained why he testi-
fled before a Navy Court OF Inquiry
AZ Pearl Harbor in 1914 that the
Winds message actually was inter-
eepted.
He said he appeared before the
Navy court without any preparation
and depended solely on his menu
Ory Of events nearly three years
earlier.
He said he had in mind at the
time that the ,so-called winds"
message he remembered seeing Dec.
mentioned only one country. He
had in mind that the Japanese-U.
S. war started Dec. 7 and he there
fore assumed that the one country
mentioned was the United States.
Kramer also explained that he
saw that message only about Is or
20 seconds.
