lands In tho Tvi'.clako and Low

divided into small tracts, such

It was also proposed Hint the
veterans be given the leases at
low fixed rentals. Henry Se
mon, agricultural committee
chairman, said the committee
presumed that selection of quali
fied veterans competing for
land would have to bo done
by lottery.
The agricultural committee
recommended tho action to the
directors. The committee re
ported that an effort to work
out a practical potato advertis
ing program for this area
would be made by a Joint com
mittee of the chamber of com
merce and the Klamath Potato
Growers association. Plans for
improving sales ring, barns and

should be retained for civilian
use with preference given to
returning veterans for a period
of not to exceed two years after
the official termination of hos

the need for this housing no
longer exists.
Leo Lombard, reporting for

Fleet Admiral
'Hurt Feelings
Of Roosevelt
WASHINGTON, Not. 21 (P) Admiral J. O. Richardson
today quoted the late Secretary of Navy Knox as telling him he
was relieved as commander of the fleet In 1941 because he had
"hurt the feelings" of President Roosevelt. . j
. Richardson told the senate-bouse committee Inquiring Into'
the Pearl Harbor disaster that Knox told him in Washington
March 24, 1941, after Richardson was succeeded by Admiral
Husband E. Kimmel:
"The last time you were here, you hurt the president's i
feelings." i
Seritor Ferguson (R-Mich.) asked Richardson, who said he
had argued previously with the president against keeping the
fleet in Pearl Harbor, if ha knew how he might have hurt Mr.:
Roosevelt's feeling.. - 1 ';
"It would hurt my feelings if I
a senior subordinate under me
disagreed with me and I couldn't
make him change his mind," the
admiral replied firmly.
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. The former commander of the
Pacific fleet resumed his testi
mony before a senate house com
mittee investigating the Japa
nese attack on Pearl Harbor as
the inquiry brought out these
other developments:
No Recollection
1. Rep. John W. Murphy (D
Pa.) said Adm. William D. Leahy
had told him he had no recollec
tion that President Roosevelt
ever expressed doubt that the
United States would fight Japan
if the Japanese attacked the
Philippines. . Richardson : had
testified Mr. Roosevelt made

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.

Legislation penalizing labor un

tracts was sent to the house to
day for prompt action.

ments, would lose their collec
tive bargaining rights for a year.
