Richardson said he had com plained to Knox that in all his experience he never had heard of a commanding officer being relieved "in the same manner I was." When he asked Knox why, the admiral said the late secretary replied that "the president would send for me and talk the matter over with me." He added, in reply to ques tions that the president never sent for him and he never sought to see the president. - Richardson testified earlier the navy assumed on October 10, 1940 that the United States was ready to go to war if tne Japa nese retaliated against a pro posed plan to stop Japanese ship ping.

Richardson told the investiga tors today that discussion of the plan to halt Japanese shipping never carried out had prompt ed him to send a message to Ad miral Thomas C. Hart, then Asia tic fleet commander, containing 10 "assumptions." He had testified yesterday the late Secretary of Navy Frank Knox told him and other officers at a conference October 9, 1940, that President Roosevelt had suggested establishing a line of ships to halt Japanese shipping to the western hemisphere in the event Japan moved agamst the British as a result of the reopen ing of the Burma road set for October 17.

The immediate problem is ona of confidence among nations Mr. Truman told a news confer ence yesterday, and that takes time. Right now nations every- -where, he added, are paying more attention to domestic ' troubles and less than they will later on, to foreign problems. , . i - - foreign issues However, foreign issues are piling up on the calendars at the state " department and White House, ttere are two of the top listings: , , 1. The - Iranian government, with a revolt on its hands in Ru-v sian occupied Azerbaijan, want, the United States to use its in -fluence with the Soviet Union to have Iranian troops admitted to the area to put down the rebels. The United States, along with Britain and Russia, signed a dec laration in 1943 guaranteeing Iran's independence, and there were strong signs here that some sort of communication to Britain and Russia might be dispatched soon. . . . 2. American officials have ex pressed belief privately that Rus sia would like to see changes of government in both Iran and Turkey In order to get regimes with at least a communist flavor In which the Kremlin could feel greater security.
