Richardson Tells
Of Recomendation Fleet Be
Sent to I Pacific Coast Posts
(Story also
WASHINGTON, Nov. JO. -
J. O. Richardson declared today
Harbor investigating committee that on a 1940 visit to Washing- ion, Harney, Klamath and Lincoln
ton he got the impression, that Washington was trying to bluff counties. Only petition nqw be
the Japanese and that a state department ' diplomat, Stanley fore the hydroelectric commission
K. HnrnhPTlr . .. "wo o-rorrninir
disposition of the fleet 1 than I
was." . i ;
He said he received this im
pression when he came to the
capital for conferences with the
president. Secretary of State Hull
and others to find out more fully
why the fleet was kept in Hawaii
against his recommendations. Rich
ardson wanted the fleet removed
to the west coast of the United
States to prepare it for an emer
gency.
Describes Hernbeck
Concerning Horn beck, former
head of the far eastern division
of the state department, Richard
son wrote in his notebook:!
" "He is the strong man in the
far east and the cause of our stay
ing in Hawaii where he will hold
us as long as he can." . j
" In response to questions "from
Rep. Gearhart (R-Calif) Richard
son said the fleet was in "abso
lutely" no condition for a war
with Japan. He said the warships
were undermanned and did not
carry wartime supplies of am
munition. - I
HoweverT"Vhen asked whether
moving the fleet to the west coast
would have made an attack on it
less "attractive" to the Japanese,
he said: " ;
"In my opinion, a Japanese
fleet that could cross most of the
Pacific ocean and deliver an un
discovered attack on Pearl Har
bor would have been,., very likely
able to have delivered a similar
attack on Puget Sound." i
Richardson, who was relieved of
his command in February 1941
and replaced by Admiral Husband
E. Kimmel, gave this account 6f
the reported Roosevelt plan to
bar Japanese trade from the
" Americas:
"On 10 October 1940 Col. Knox,
the secretary of the navy, sent for
me and Admiral Stark (Harold R.
Stark, then chief of naval opera
tions) to come to his office.
"The secretary stated he had
important information, that he had
just talked to the president and
the president was concerned about
Japanese reaction against the
British at the reopening of the
Burma road scheduled for 17 Oc
tober. -
"The secretary said that the
president, in the event that the
Japanese took aggressive drastic
action, was considering shutting
off all trade between Japan and
the Americas.
This shutting off was to be un
dertaken, Richardson said, by
establishing j of two patrol lines
of light ships from Hawaii west
to the Philippines and from Sa
moa to the Dutch East Indies.
Some one at the conference
s raised the question whether Jap
anese ships were to be stopped,
and the view was expressed that
this would mean war, the ad
miral continued.

Overtime Pay
Despite Delay
The state supreme court, by a
six to onevote, Tuesday held that
the "1943 law providing that suits
for overtime pay must be filed
within six months is unconstitu
tional. The suit originally was filed by
J. P. Fullerton against the De
schutes Lumber company. Plain
tiff contended that he should re
ceive $6239 in overtime pay from
the company instead of $124. Un
der the supreme court opinion he
will receive the balance of his
claim, plus $1200 attorneys fees.
The company rejected his claim
on the ground that it was not pre
sented within six months after it
had accrued. The decision, by
Justice Hall S. Lusk, reversed
Judge G. F. Skipworth, Lane
county. Chief Justice Harry Belt
dissented.
The majority opinion read in
part:
"It is an attempt on the part
of the state legislature to control
and limit substantive rights grant
ed by an act of congress and clear
ly is unconstitutional as such. It
is void for indefiniteness and un
certainty." Surplus Chemicals
