Zacliarias Says He Predicted Japs Would Begin War By Striking Blow Against Fleet On Sunday Morning WASHINGTON. Jan. 28 UP) Capt. Ellis M. Zacharias testified today he predicted to Rear Adm. Husband E. Kimmel in March, 1941. that if the Japanese decid ed to fight the United States they would begin the war with an at tack against the fleet on a Sun- flay morning. The veteran naval officer, ap- earing before the joint Pearl arbor Investigating committee, Legion Drum Corps To Be Reorganized The American Legion drum and bugle corps, a colorful or ganization disbanded after the outbreak of. war, is to be re organized, Don Eventt, Legion naire stated today.

Woman Hurt In Auto Wreck MEDFORD, Ore., Jan. 28 (JP Mrs. William Willis Cole. 36. Pasadena, Calif., was in a hos pital here today with injuries she received when her. auto plunged over a 25-foot embank ment, on the Crater, lake road while driving to meet her hus band in Seattle. ' Police said the woman report ed her husband was due yester day in Seattle aboard the U.S.S. Stewart from India and that she got off the Pacific highway by mistake. said he made this prediction in a conference with Kimmel, the Pa cific fleet commander at the time, and Vice Adm. (then cap tain) W. W. Smith. Kimmel told the committee previously he remembered no such conversation with Zacliar ias, but the latter said he had discussed the incident with Smith since the Pearl Harbor at tack and Smith recalled the de tails. "I realize that Admiral Kim mel was a very busy man and that I was only one of hundreds to whom he talked," Zacharias said. -"He might not remember the details of the conversation, but I am sure that Admiral Smith remembers." - Zacharias; who headed a psy chological campaign during the war in an effort to induce the Japanese to surrender, said the conversation took place between March 26 and March 31, 1941, at Kimmel's headquarters in Pearl Harbor. From Carriers He told the admiral, the wit ness said, that if the Japanese made such an attack, it would come from the north from car riers which would steam away immediately after launching their - planes. The December 7 attack was made in this manner. - Zacharias said he did not at tempt to fix the date of the pre dicted attack in his talk with Kimmel and had suggested an other method' by which the Japa nese might strike by air. He said it was possible, but less likely, for the Japanese to smuggle seaplanes into the Ha waiian area on merchant ships. The conversation with Kimmel came about, Zacharias said,' as the result of a conference the witness said he had with Adm. Kichisaburo Nomura on Febru ary 8, 1941, in San Francisco. Nomura then was on his way to Washington to take over as Japanese ambassador. Zachar ias said he had known Nomura intimately as a result of 31 years he spent In Japan learning the Japanese language. Adm. J. O. Richardson, who was relieved by Kimmel as commander-in-chief of the fleet on February 1, 1941, had asked for a report on his conversation with Nomura, the witness said. " Zacharias said that he for warded to Adm. Harold R. Stark, then chief of naval opera tions, a report on the talk with Nomura and sent a copy of it to Kimmel. He called on Kimmel when he arrived in Pearl Har bor, Zacharias said, to learn if Kimmel had received the report. Strained Relations Kimmel had the report, the witness continued, and they dis cussed the strained relations then existing between the United States and Japan. He said Kim mel asked lum if the situation became worse, what Zacharias thought would happen. "I said that if the situation .be came such that the Japanese de cided they must go to war with us, it would begin with an attack on the fleet on a weekend, prob ably a Sunday," Zacharias re lated. He said he predicted the Japa nese would attempt to knock out four American battleships, that number having been fixed in his mind as the minimum the Japa nese were likely to try to disable before moving southward. When Kimmel asked how the Japanese could effect such an at tack, Zacharias said he predicted either by the seaplane method or by carriers launching their planes from the north. "I told him such an attack un doubtedly would come in from the north, because that is the di rection of the prevailing wind," Zacharias testified.
