Safford Note Said No One In Naval High Command Could Be Trusted And Kimmel And Short Had Been Framed Br J. W. DAVIS - WASHINGTON, Feb. 5 W) Naval Captain u. t . sauorcl said 1 today he acted without the knowledge of Rear Adm. Hus' 1 band E. Kimmel In undertaking 3 a campaign to clear Kimmel of nig respuiisiuiiuy iui uie rcctii iitti' i bor disaster. 1 1 "Admiral Kimmel did not Uiiknow I was doing this," Safford l-r-told the senate-house committee UljWnvosUgating the Japanese attack fvnicn caugni; i-ean naroor oy fiurprise December 7, 1941. Kim. net was commander of the Fa' ific fleet at the time. Safford said he went to New York and saw Kimmel in mid- February, 1944. This was one month after he wrote a code f letter to Capt. Alwin D. Kramer, saying that no one in the Wash ington naval high command V could be trusted and that Kim' : mel and the 1941 army com' mender in Hawaii, Maj. Gen. Walter C. Short, had been . framed. The 53-year-old intelligence officer described the meeting with Kimmel under questioning ; by Hep. Murpny (U-ra.) "I was in New York and went to his office and saw him per sonally," Safford said, adding that he had talked to no one else. Safford said he did not talk to Hammers counsel; Charles Rugg, until August or Septem ber of 1944. Special Trip "I made a special trip to New York," Safford replied. "I took : the initiative, not Admiral Kim ' mel." "Did you tell him about let ters you were writing?" "No." "Did you tell him about your letter to Kramer to arrange things for 'the cause?' " "No." Safford has testified that he wrote Kramer on January 22, 1944, urging him to win over Admiral William F. Halsey to "the cause." He identified this as a campaign to clear Kimmel ' of any blame as the Pearl Harbor commander. Applause There were two bursts of ap plause from the audience, when Rep. Keefe (R-Wis.) objected to Murphy's phrasing of questions. At one point, Murphy re marked that Safford was home from work on December 7, 1941, and displayed a lack of interest in protecting the navy on a day he had testified he expected war. Keefe loudly objected to Murphy "saying that he (Saf ford) was not interested in pro tecting the nation." v . A wave of handclapping swept around the big committee room and Rep. Cooper (D-Tenn.) rapped a big glass ash tray to fiet order. There also was applause when Keefe took exception to Murphy's statement that he ex pected interruptions all day from Keefe. Murphy, who had promised further sensations in questioning Safford, looked around at the audience and observed: "I understand what is going to nappen, and 1 am not going to be taken off by certain people In the audience." iJSHS ilSlSliiiisii illlll Girl Scouts Plan J Swimming Party The Girl Scouts will hold a swimming party in the Marine Barracks swimming pool Satur day from 2 to 3 p. m.
