Chairman Marriner 8. Eccles of federal reserve board recommended Commodore Vardaman for his new post.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16 (U.

Noyes told the Pearl Harban inveskgating committee. that “winds” messages were brought to him before Dec. 7 because they were “supposed to be” authentic. The testimony of two previous witnesses indicated Adm. Noyes could have known if a genuine “winds” mes< sage was intercepted. Capt. L. F. Safford, in charge of intercepting and decoding Japanese messages in 1941, had said he sent. to Noyes on Dec. 4, 1941,.a “winds” message, which had been intgrpreted to mean war with Japan within a few days. _ ¢ New Questions Raised Yesterday's testimony that the late President Roosevelt expected war on the basis of Japan’s final diplomatic note aroused new questions today about White House: de«
