The Office of Defense Transporta-
ton announced today that airlines
operating from the West Coast
would not have to set aside passen-
ger space for veterans after noon

The ODT said it was revoking as
of that date the only order it had

required airlines operating from
Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles
and San Diego to make available to
returning servicemen from the Pa
ciflc area not less than 70 per cent
OF passenger space to Boston, New
York, Baltimore, Washington, Nor
folk and Jacksonville.
Since the order became effective
on December 8, ODT said, airlines
have carried about 10000 soldiers,
sailors and Marines across the
country each month.
Revocation was made possible, II
was stated, because the troop move
ment has passed its peak and be-
cause new troop sleepers are becom-
ing available for transportation OF
returning servicemen.

ban against disclosure to foreign

The proyiso written by the Navy

Naval Intelligence
Officer Says He Never
Saw Winds MESSAGE
Copt. MeCoIIum Supports
Contention Code for War
With U. S. Wos Not Sent
By CARTER BROOKE JONES.

Capt. Arthur H. McCollum
head of the Far Eastern Division
in the Office of Naval Intelli-
gence at the outset of the war,
told the Pearl Harbor Commit
tee today he never saw any
warning in the form of a Japa-
nese winds code" message the
week before the attack on Pearl
Harbor.
Capt. McCollom thus sided in this
disputed issue with those who con-
tend there was no record of such
a message.
The Navy Department was on the
alert that week for any message
carrying out the code which Tokyo
had set up to inform diplomats ir
various capitals If their countr,
was breaking with the United
States, Great Britain or Russia, the
witness said.
Message Checked Carefully.
Asked by Samuel H. Kaufman.
associate committee counsel, if any
message which seemed to execute
the winds code, through which
Japan would broadcast secret war
warning in the form of a weather
report, came in between December
i, 1941, and December 7. the day
of the attack, Capt. McCollum re-
piled:
About the middle of the week
heard that an execute message
saying relations with Russia were
endangered had been received. ]
checked this message very carefully
and came to the conclusion that it
was an ordinary weather broadcast. ~
Even that intercepted Japanese
broadcast, Mr.. Kaufman pointed out
did not relate to relations between
Japan and the United States or
Great Britain.
That's right" Capt. McCollum
said.
And there was no other informa
tion up to and including December
7 which came to your attention that
the winds code execute message had
come IMP"
There was not, Capt. McCollum
said.
SafforG's Testimony Recalled.
Mr.. Kaufman recalled that Capt
L. F. Stafford, then communications
intelligence officer, had testified al
a previous Pearl Harbor inquiry tha
a winds message announcing i'm.
pending war with the United State!
was intercepted December 8 or 4.
Il saw nothing of that Sort" sale
Capt. McCollum.
Late In the afternoon of Decem
Der 7, after news of the attack hat
been received, or some time on De
cember 5, a winds message did com,

said it stated that relations between
Japan and Britain were strained.
But he never saw an intercep
