Fleet Was Based at Pearl Harbor
Account Roosevelt's Insistence,
Testimony of Admiral Richardson
Washington, Nov. 20 U.R)
Adm. J. O. Richardson said to
day that Adm. Harold R. Stark,
chief of naval operations, agreed
with his arguments against bas
ing the fleet at Pearl Harbor in
1940 but that the late President
Roosevelt overruled them.
Richardson was commander
of the U. S. fleet from January,
1940, until he was relieved on
Feb. 1, 1941, by Rear Adm. Hus
band E. Kimmel. He told the
congressional Pearl Harbor in
vestigating committee he strong

Hawaiian waters because it
MILLMEN ACCEPT
12.5 CENT HIKE
Portland, Ore., Nov. 20 (U.R)
The lenethv five -state AFL
strike was catch and go today as
word was received that some dis
tricts had accepted a 12',4 cent
operators' offer and others nad
reaffirmed pledges to stand by
original strike demands.
Reports from Klamath Falls
disclosed the Pine ludustrtal Ke
lations committee headquarters
had announced AFL negotiators
had accepted the 12 14 cent
hourly increase for 14 operations
in the northern California dis
trict. The area embraces mills
in the vicinity of Westwood and
Susanville and the Feather
River canyon, where workers
have not been on strike. The
acceptance was virtually on the
same basis as that recently ac
cepted by the CIO.
Klamath Rejects
AFL negotiators rejected the
offer on behalf of the Klamath
basin district in preference for
their original demands of 11.10
an hour industry-wide minii.ium.
Meanwhile the central Oregon
district council of the AB'L
unions announced they also had
rejected a 1214 cent offer.
Operators in the Willamette
valley district, however, hoping
to seize an opportunity on the
northern California break, of
fered for the second time a boost
of 1214 cents an hour to lumber
workers in that district.

Attack Expected
He also testified that he never
heard until today of a letter
sent in January, 1941, by the
late Secretary of Navy Frank
Knox to former Secretary of
War Henry L. Stimson in which
Knox said it was "easily possi
ble" that Japan might start hos
tilities with a surprise attack
on Pearl Harbor.
The Knox letter was made
public last August when results
of the army and navy investiga
tions were released by President
Truman.
Richardson told the Pearl
Harbor Investigating committee
that he made two trips to Wash
ington in 1940 to talk -with Pres
ident Roosevelt. He said the
President:
1. Rejected his protests
against keeping the Pacific fleet
at .Pearl Harbor, asserting that
Its presence there was a deter
rent to Japanese aggression.
(Former Secretary of State Cor
dell Hull also favored keeping
tne fleet at Pearl Harbor.)
2. Overruled his plea for ad
ditional personnel on the
grounds that the needed men
could be quickly inducted later.
Defenses Inadequate
Richardson said Stark agreed
with his fears about keeping the
fleet at Pearl Harbor where, the
witness said, army defense ar
rangements were wholly inade
quate. Asked by Sen. Scott W. Lucas,
D., 111., if he based his opposi
tion to keeping the fleet at Pearl
Harbor on the danger of air at
tack, he replied:
"I had not considered that it
was likely that the fleet would
be attacked by carrier raid and
I so stated repeatedly in security
orders to the fleet."
Richardson testified that he
did not think any "responsible
power'; would attack the island
but that he assumed there al
ways was the prospect that
"some fanatical, ill-advised Jap
anese officer in charge of a ship
or sub might attack."

CHIANG APPEALS
MANCHURIA FIGHT
Ask Cooperation in Restor
ing Soviet-Occupied Area
To Central Government.
Chungking, Nov. 20 U.R)
Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek
has appealed again to Russia for
cooperation in restoring Soviet
occupied Manchuria to the Chi
nese central government, it was
disclosed today.
The official central army
newspaper Ta Kung Pao said
Chiang's new representations
were made by the Chinese am
bassador in Moscow and that
similar conferences had been
held with the Sqviet envoy in
Chungking.
The newspaper intimated
strongly that the negotiations
had worked out satisfactorily
for the central government,
which had been sharply critical
of Moscow's alleged "passive in
tervention" on the side of the
Chinese communists in Man
churia. Complete Turnabout
There was no further elabora
tion of the reported Sino-Russian
conferences, but the army organ
said they had resulted in a "com
plete turnabout" of the Man
churian situation.
But that account of improved
Russian-Chinese relations dif
fered sharply with a dispatch
published by the central Kuom
intang's official newspaper,
Chung Yang Jih Pao.
The Kuomintang paper, in an
obvious reference to Russia, said
"a certain country" had made 20
demands on the Chinese govern
mcnt in relation to Manchuria,
including one for Russian pos
session of all important mines in
the northeastern part of the ter
ritory. FLYNN CHAIRMAN

Gen. Shigeru Honjo, 69, one of
Japan's top war lords, commit
ted hari-kari in his office today

Maj. Gen. Masatoshl Miyano,
in charge of the general section
of the society, said Honjo did
"an excellent Job" of hari-kari.
Honjo, who wore the national

facing the Imperial Palace and
then slashed his abdomen from
left to right, Miyano said.
The jugular vein on the right
side was severed and Honjo col

GRIM LEGALITY
AT
Defendants Follow Reading
of Charges Closely; Goer
ing Writhes in Chair.
Nuernberg, Nov. 20 (U.R)
Twenty fallen leaders of the
nazi regime went on trial before
a United Nations tribunal today
and listened uneasily to a shock
ing indictment holding them di
rectly responsible for the death
and misery of World War II.
The portentous trial that for
the first time in history sought
to prove aggressive warfare a
crime against all mankind open
ed In an atmosphere of grim,
cold legality in Nuernberg's an
cient palace of justice.
Two Absent
Twenty-two men were on
trial, all top figures in the nazi
hierarchy that overawed Europe
for a decade, but two were being
judged in absentia the ailing
Ernst Kaltenbrunner and the
missing Martin Bormann.
Sidney S. Alderman, Washing
ton, D.C., of the American prose
cuting staff, began the reading
of the 43-page indictment short
ly after the hearings opened at
10:03 a. m. (4:03 a. m. EST.)
He spoke slowly and deliber
ately as he read off the first of
the four principal accounts In
the indictment that charging
the accused men of plunging the
world into war.
Allies Read Passages
He was followed to the dais
by members of the British,
French and Russian prosecution
staffs, who intoned the succeed
ing passages of the indictment
for the benefit of the four pre
siding Justices and the Jittery de
fendants.
After the reading of the
lengthy Indictment and three ap
pendices detailing the charges,
the court adjourned at 5:04 p. m.
The defendants themselves ap
peared to be the most Interested
men In the courtroom. They fol
lowd the reading of the indict
ment with rapt attention over
their earphones attached to their
bench.
Hermann Goering, the num
ber-one defendant, twisted un
easily In his front row seat.
From time to time he leaned
over to whisper something to his
benchmate. Rudolf Hess, and oc
casionally an inane grin twitch
ed across his fat face.
Ignored By Reds
The Russian prosecutors sat
almost within arms' reach of
Goering. but they ignored him
studiously.
The yellow-faced Hess beside
him was more Impassive
throughout, clinging stubbornly
to his claim that he remembered
nothing of the Hitler era In
which he played so large a part.
He spoke occasionally to Goer
ing and Joachim Von Ribb'cn
trop, but for the most part he
maintained an air of cold aloof
ness from his fellow-nazls and
his Judges alike.
Hess stared grimly at the wall
when the Indictment enumerat
ed the mass murders carried out
by the nazis in their bid for
mastery of Europe. Goering's
eyes dropped to the floor, and
Franz Von Papen merely cupped
his chin in his hand In an acade
mic manner as If he personally
were not Involved.

SNOW MAY DELAY
SEISMOGRAPH Fl.
GRATERLAKE RIM
Plan To Record Possible
Deep Volcanic Disturbance
Faces Winter Problem.
Winter conditions at Crater
Lake National park complicate
the matter of planning for plac
ing of a portable seismograph at
the lake rim to determine if any
volccnic quakes are taking place
on the lake floor according to E.
P. Leavitt, superintendent of the
park, who has suggested to the
national park director that the
project either be delayed or that
the Instrument be placed at
some point where It would be
readily available by car.
Decision to place the Instru
ment at the lake was made by
the national park service after
observers reported four times,
during late summer and early
fall, that a cloud of smoke or
gas had been seen hovering over
the surface of the lake, and
Leavitt was Informed of the plan
by wire a few days ago.
Conditions Unknown
Superintendent Leavitt stated
this morning that the national
director's wire Indicated he had
made the decision without com
plete knowledge of conditions at
the iake. In a return wire Lea
vitt pointed out that the park
is closed, roads are snowbound
and that all supplies for men
and all equipment would have
to be carried to the lake rim
over the snow. The park service
has on order a sno-cat, but its
delivery Is uncertain the super
intendent said.
He suggested that the project
either be delayed or that the In
strument be set up at Ft. Klam
ath or the east road junction,
where It could be reached easily
by car, and taken to the lake
rim later, and Is now awaiting
a reply from the national direc
tor. Geologist Seen
Superintendent Leavitt re
cently made a trip north where
he conferred with Dr. Howel
Williams, chairman of the de
partment of geological sciences
at the University of California,
who has been In Portland, and
Dr. Warren D. Smith, head of
the department of geology at the
University of Oregon. At that
time Dr. Williams agreed with
the theory that the formations
over the lake surface might be
a recurrence of volcanic action,
the superintendent states, but
the scientist is quoted In a Port
land news story as having de
clared that "Crater Lake must
do better than show a little
smoke above the water" before
he would call it a resumption of
volcanic activity.
"It Is hard to Imagine steam
or other gas coming to the sur
face through nearly 2000 feet of
Icy water without a violence
that would result In discernible
wave action," Williams is quoted
as having said. The volcanolo
gist, who has written a book on
Crater Lake, advanced a theory
that submarine volcanic activity
might heat water sufficiently to
form convection currents, ana
that warm water rising to the
surface might result in meteoro
logical phenomenon, the article
quotes the doctor.
Suoerlntcndent Leavitt atatea
this morning that opinion, both
scientific and from the layman's
viewpoint, seems to be that the
most plausible explanation of
the clouds la volcanic activity,
the second is that they resulted
from some meteorological phe
nomenon, and the third, consid
ered the least likely, is that the
clouds were dust from the crater
walls.
