and Smith between March 26 and 3l, 194l, in Kinmel's office at Pearl Harbor. He went there to report on an interview he had at San Fran cisco with Admiral Kichisaburo Nomura, new Japanese ambassador to Washington.
 FOresaw Attack on Fleet
 Zacharias said Kimmel asked him about the general Japanese situation and asked him what he thought would occur.
 zachariaS said he told Kimmel that if war came Japan would Gry a surprise air raid on the fleet in Pearl Harbor, that it would come on 8 weekend and probably a Sunday morning, and the object would be to destroy four U. s. bat tleshipS.
 He said he had decided that Japan would have to reduce our neet by that much to prevent it interfering with Japanese moves Southward.
 zacharias said the raid could be made either by seaplanes brought into the area by merchant ships and hidden in the lee of a sparseiy set tieo island. Or, 1t could be done by planes from aircraft carriers.
 Re recommended establishment of defensive sea areas around all the islands with requirement. that all merchant ships pass through cer- tain lanes for inspection. In that manner, he said. no seaplanes could De brought in by merchant ships.
 Speaks Jap FIuently
 He said he predicted that 6 car rier raid would come from the north because that was the direc- ton of the prevailing winds. He said the carrier force would launch its planes and retreat upwind to escape damage to any capital ships in the striking force
 zacharias said he specialized in Naval Intelligence for about 25 years. He said he spoke Japanese "fuently."
 zacheTiaS also explained to the committee a purported wild goose chase" on which he sent some of the Pacific fleet in October l94O.
 At that time he was intelligence officer for the 1lth Naval District at San Diego.
 Informer Gives Plans
 He said that on Oct. Is he receiv- ed word from an informer in Mexico ceived word from an informer in Mexico that Japan was planning l2-plane raid the next day aimed at knocking out four U. s. battleships. All the planes would carry bombs and four of them would be suicide pilots with orders to dive down the battleship stacks.
 At the same time, Zacharias said, he heard that Admiral J. O. Rich ardson had arrived at San Pedro, Cal, with three battleships. and a heavy cruiser.
 Zacharias flew to Los Angeles and told Richardson what he had heard. He said he wasn't able to assure Richardson that there were no Jap anese planes in Mexico or Pacific waters that could accomplish such mission. He said Richardson left the next morning for San Francisco.
 Zacharias will be followed on the stand by former Supreme Court Justice Owen J. Roberts. The com mittee hopes to learn from Roberts whether any deletionS were made in his Pearl Harbor findings before they were published.

 In the same report, he urged that the policy prohibiting con- struction of runways and airfields in other national parks and monu- ments be perpetrated to preserve rustic solitude for wildlife and park visitors.

JERUSALEM, Dec. 30.-The Brit ish Military announces that all Jewish communities along the Pal estine coast had been placed out of bounds to the 30.000 British troops on duty in the area, as authorities pressed a search for the armed kidnapers who abducted a British major and three sergeants last night and gave each l8 laslles in what was described as a retaliatory move.
 A military source, predicted that authorities, fearing British troops might seek vengeance for the fog gings, would keep the ruling in force until at least after New Years Eve The Provost Marshall's office said that feeling is running high in the military camps.
 Jewish agency sources expressed regret for the floggings.

AppEALSIN SHIP CASE
 AT SEWARD

SEATTLE, Dec. 30-The Alaska Steamship Company appealed Sat urday to the Maritime Commission for action to settle a juriSdictional union dispute that spread from Ketchikan to Seward, Alaska.
 Unloading of the steamship Baranof in Seward was held up by the controversy between Seward CIO longshoremen and the deck department of the AFL Sailors Un- ion of the Pacific.
 The trouble started in Ketchikan Dec. IT, company officials said, when longshoremen demanded to drive winches in all matches their men were working.
 1. Steamship company spokesmen said members of the AFL union were entitled under contract agree ment to handle winch driving in Alaska ports.
 J. Zumdieck, superintendent of the Alaska Steamship O., said he had been informed that one hatch was still being worked on the Baranof, presumably the hatch manned by the deck crews.

Troop Air Transport Service Now Planned
 For Defense of Alaska
6By Elton c. Fay)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30 The defense Of Alaska, the nations vii tally strategic Northern Rampant, will rest almost entirely on the efficiency Of the Troop Air Trans port System and the mobility of the Air Fleet, military planners disclosed today.
 Only a comparative handful Of ground combat troops-two battal- ions probably numbering less than POGO men in all-will compose the Interim Garrison for the airfields and other Army installations spot ted across the sprawling 586,00O square miles of the territory. The planners explained the Alas kan defense blueprint is in accord ance with the current concept for protecting offshore bases-quick re- inforcement by air from strategic units within the United States.
 Tiny Alaska Garrison
 As outlined officially, the troop deployment program by next July (the time at which the Alaska troop strength figures will be ef- 1 fective) calls for force of about four combat divisions and 31 air groups in the United States, with one of those divisions on the West Coast. Initial reinforcement of the tiny Alaska garrison in event of emergency presumably would come from the home forces of the regu- lar Army.
 The Army installations built and building in Alaska will be kept in a ready condition with airstrips, repair facilities and supply systems in shape for immediate use. For this purpose a sizeable but so far undisclosed number of service and technical troops will be kept in Alaska.
 Air Transport Plans
 Transport airplanes could land the first reinforcement troops and their personal equipment in Alaska almost in a matter of hours. With airfields in condition and fuel and ammunition dumps at hand, bomb CTS and fighters, with transports carrying maintenance personnel, can be rushed to the area. For an ensuing flow of large masses of men and supplies the sea route and the Alcan Highway cap be used. (Conttnued on Page Five)
