Feb. 1 CU.R) The Pearl Harbor committer heard today that the Navy de partment ordered communica tion! officer! to keep their mouth! shut and deairoy any notes they had regarding vents of the Pearl Harbor week-end. Navy Capt. L. F. Safiord. 1941 chief of the communica tion! lecurity lection, laid the order was given him by his superiors "in the name of the chief of naval operations." He said the order was given orally about the middle of the week following the Dec. 7. 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. f Washington, Feb. 1 (U.PJ ' Navy Capt. L. F. Safford said to- day the war and navy depart ments in Washington had 72 hours advance notice of the Pearl Harbor attack from the Japanese themselves. He based his statement on firm belief that Japan did send a so-called "wind code" message which was intercepted on Dec. 4, 1941, indicating an impending break in relations with the United States. Other material in the hands of the war and navy departments in Washing ton, he said, pointed to Pearl Harbor as the spot of the first at tack. Knew "Winds Code" Safford, who was chief of the navy department's communica tions security section in Decem ber, 1941, made his statements to the congressional Pearl Har bor investigating committee. He was one of the few naval officers in Washington who knew of the "winds code" which Japan set up to notify her dip lomats abroad of a break in re lations, or war, with the United States, Great Britain or Russia. Previous witnesses before the committee have denied knowl edge that the' winds code ever was used. "There was a winds message. It meant war and we knew it meant war," Safford said in a i 22-page statement at the start of his testimony. Passed To Army He insisted that Japan "ex ecuted" its winds code on Dec.

He concluded with the flat assertion: "The war and navy departments had been given 72 hours advance notification of the attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese themselves." Safford told the congressional committee that: 1. Japan broadcast the "winds" message meaning war with the U. S. and Great Britain from Station JAP (Tokyo) at 8:30 a. m. (Washington time) on Dec. 4, 1941. In Morse Code 2. The broadcast "probably" was in Japanese Morse code. 3. It was intercepted by the U. S. naval radio receiving sta tion at Cheltenham, Md., and re corded on a special typewriter which types the Roman-letter equivalent of Japanese charac ters. 4. The intercepted message was teletyped to the navy de partment communication intelli gence under his command. "I saw the winds message typed in page form on yellow teletype paper, with the transla tion written below," he said. "I immediately forwarded this message to my commanding of ficer (Rear Adm. Leigh Noyes) thus fully discharging my re sponsibility in the matter." He said he got word within a few minutes the message had been delivered. Safford was called to the stand after the committee heard Adm. W. W. Smith, former chief of staff of the Pacific fleet, testify that he believed Japan would not have attacked the fleet on the U. S. west coast as it did at Pearl Harbor. Gl Museum Shows Reich-Banned Art Wnrrpsfer Macfl. (U.P.)

London, Feb. 1 (U.R) Don Juan, eldest surviving son of the late King Alfonso XIII of Spain arrived from Switzerland today en route to Portugal for a report ed meeting with Gen. Francisco Franco to discuss restoration of the Spanish monarchy. Simultaneously, a United Press dispatch from Madrid said the Franco government was expect ed to adopt increasingly' severe measures against armed -opposi tion in Spain. A Spanish army communique conceded that force of "bandits" was operating in the Gijon area on the Bay of Biscay coast. 'Lisbon monarchist sources said Don Juan was clinging to his previously announced stand that he would ascend the throne only if assured that any invitation from Franco to do so had no strings attached. Spanish informants in London said Franco was adamant against stepping down unless assured of a good position in a monarchic regime. P.T.A. Activities Junior High P.-T.A.
