Naval Captain Hints
Conspiracy To Blot

Of staff, directed destruction OF the
message.
! He said he had had third-hand
report to that effect and "reluct.
antly" told about it in a naval In.
quiry made last year by Admiral
H. K. Hewitt.
Richardson said fatty he didn't
believe there was any such mes.
sage.
The counsel suggested that i
there had been any destruction OF
copies of the message, the White
House, and the Army and Navy
high command would have been
involved. They were among the few
receiving copies Of the intercepted
secret japanese messages. Stafford
said he had never indicated the
White House in his testimony.
Shown To Aide
Richardson referred to his testi-
mony that a copy Of the winds
code executes" message had been
shown to Admiral Beardall, Presi-
dent Roosevelt's naval aide.
THE President would have been
very interested in it, wouldn't he?"
Richardson asked.
Il think he was," Stafford re-
|rlied.
Richardson followed up: 'Then
you think there was conspiracy
in the Army and Navy depart
ments?"
There is the appearance Of it."
"But you have no first hand
knowledge. You have only rurnors

Thereupon Stafford related that
Captain e. E. Stone, now chief Of
Naval intelligence, had directed a
search of records of east coast mon
itoring stations and this disclosed
that records for December, 1941,
were missing.
No Authority
Stafford said the men in charge
of the files had never received any
authority to destroy them, had no
record of their destruction and
didn't know they were missing"
Stafford, So, testified tensely, Of
ten taking drink of water as long
statements dried his throat.
He startled the committee earl
Ter with a statement that last year
"a representative Of Secretary Of
the Navy Forrestal tried to get
him to change his testimony at
previous inquiries on the winds
code.
Stafford identified this man as 1t.
Cmdr. John Sonnet, legal aide in
the inquiry conducted by Admiral
Hewitt and "a special representa-
tive of Secretary Forrestal." 49,.
Stafford said Sonnet attempted
to make me believe I was suffer-
ing from Authorizations and told
him that Il ought to change my
testimony so that all of the state
ments about this matter would
coincide and the whole thing would
be cleaned up"

Library Exhibit Shows
Works of D. G.. Artist

Joseph Danforth is primarily in
terested in people and prefers them
in crowds, to judge from approx
mately 80 sketches, on view at the
Central Public Library until the
end of this month. This entertain
ing exhibition of work in black and
white and water color deals with
such themes as The Market,
Merry Go = Round Bethany
Beach" and Liberation of Paris,
which gave the artist an opportu-
nifty to depict many types at work
and play, unconscious of being OBJ
served.
She seems to be tireless in her
transcription of details. There is
robust naturalism in her handling
of THE Market" and several others,
while elements of caricature appear
in Sweet Adeline" (heads of sing
ing mem and "Spinster and Her
Mother" THE Widow" an elderly
woman seen in profile, is handled
as portrait. Mrs. Danforth also
shows a few street scenes and old
buildings. depicting questionable
places which are more picturesque
than the newest and cleanest.
She is a Washingtonian, studied
at the Corcoran School of Art, has
exhibited with the Corcoran Alumni
