Capt. Safford
Reverses His
Testimony
WASHINGTON. Feb. 4— f/P) —
Navy captain Safford, reversing
his previous Pearl Harbor testi
mony, said “I had no suspicion
against any individual,” as to high
command violations against de
stroying public records.
Earlier in the day Capt. Safford
testified a “suspicion exists” in his

so broken the law. The question at
issue was whether- copies of the
“winds code” message, which Saf
ford said gave Washington a
three-day tipoff of the Jap attack
of December seventh, was rceeived
here and later destroyed.
Under questioning by Senator
Lucas, of the Senate and House
investigating committee, Safford
said he didn’t suspect responsibil
ity for destruction of the records
rested on the group of naval offi
cers, as he had said before.

of handling patients with fancy
food ideas was a complete failure
with Deute. The usual method, she
explained, was to say:
"O.K. Can you tell me how to
cook this dish you're talking
about?"
The answer was usually a sheep
ish "no," but Deute would give
the complete recipe right down to
the last pinch of salt, the last de
gree of oven temperature.
The kitchen bowed in defeat
and produced, somehow, eggs with
white wine sauce, tongue and
horseradish mousse, molded salads
with intricate garnishes, dry red
wine for the meals and a proper
glass to drink it from.
Deute thinks his ideas brought
necessary improvements in the
hospital diet.
