Seek Interview In Pearl Harbor Probe Renew Efforts To Contact Witness Washington, Nov. *—(UPl—Republicans ou the Pearl Harbor investigating committee moved swiftly today to take advantage of a presidential order giving them permission to question all government personnel. Heps. Bertraud W. Gearhart, K.. Calif., aud Frank B. Keefe, R-. Win., sought an Interview with Navy Capt Alvin D. Kramer as a Tbtcntlal witness for the Investigation. Kramer was on the naval operations staff at the time of the Pearl Harbor attack.

The two Republicans made an unsuccessful attempt to see Kramer yesterday at the Boltesda, Md . naval hospital where, they charged, he has been confined to a psychopathic ward. They planned another attempt today. Keefe said he and Gearhart went to the hospital immediately after President Truman signed an brder making It clear that all gov- ■ rnment personnel may talk freely to committee members. The committee asked for the presidential order because an earlier directive authorised interviews by "The committee” but not by Individual members. Ke-fe said although he dtan t contact Kramer on his visit to the hospital, he did get support for his previous charge that the officer was confined to a psychopathic ward or that he is being held incornmunicsdo. neefe said that when he and Gearhart visited Bethesda they were told at the hospital desk that Kramer had been given liberty for the day, Keefe said the desk attendant told him Kramer still was listed as a patient, however. In ward 5-N. "I found out that 5-N Is one of the psychopathic wards,” he said "Let the navy answer that If It can.” As for the Navy statement that no committee member heretofore j had sought permission to inter-1 view Kramer. Keefe said! “We didn't have that right until the president r-vised his order.” All four Republicans on the lonian joint committee hailed the presidential action. They were not completely satisfied, however, because they also want Individual right to examine government records. The committee late yesterday refus'd by a parly line vote of 6 to 4 to ask President Truman for such additional authority, it also

rejected by a lie vote of » to » • isqueei by Sen. Owen Brewster.
