War Department Had 72
Hours Advance Notice
from Jap, Captain Claims.
Washington. 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.

4, 1941, that it was intercepted
and decoded by the navy, and
the information passed along to
the army.
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.

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.
