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,

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.
