McCollum Says Yarning Drafted To Fleet Commanders Of Imminent Jap Attack Was Not Sent By Superiors WASHINGTON, Jan. 30 (?) Navy Capt. A. H. McCollum said today that two or three days before Pearl Harbor he drafted ' a proposed warning to fleet com manders that hostilities with Japan were imminent, but his superiors decided against send ing it. At the time, McCollum was head of the far eastern section of the navy department's intel ligence division. He said his draft was based on Ills analysis of the situation and was not due to any Japanese "winds" code message indicating a break with the United States. To his knowledge, McCollum added, no such "winds" message was ever intercepted by the navy. McCollum related to the sen-ale-house committee investigat ing Japan's December 7, 1941, attack that he had not known about the navy's November 27 warning message to fleet com manders at the time he drafted his proposed dispatch. "War Warning" The November 27 message was signed by Admiral Harold R. Stark, chief of naval operations, and opened by saying it was "war warning." McCollum gave the commit tee this account of his proposed message: . He drew it up on Wednesday or Thursday before Japan's Sun day attack and took it to Ad miral Theodore S. Wilkinson, di rector of naval intelligence and his immediate superior. Wilkinson told him to take it to Admiral R. K. Turner, head of the war plans division. Shown Copy Turner looked it over, struck out all parts except those relat ing to' information, and then drew out a copy of the November 27 message and showed it to him. "I said, good gosh, you put in the words war warning and I don't know what could be plainer than that," McCollum testified. He said he still wanted his message sent, however, and Turner said that if it went it would have to go as he had edited it Turner then told him to take it back ' to Wilkinson which he did, McCollum added. "No dispatch of this character was ever sent?" Senator Lucas (D-Ill.) asked. "No sir," McCollum said. . He was unable to give the com mittee a copy, he added, because such a proposed draft, if not sent, "goes into the waste bas ket." - McCollum said that if any 'Minic" triocosifTA hnH hppn inter cepted it would have come to him.
