"A. No--do I know anyone who would have access to those different safes? "2. Yes, "SK, No, I thouht they were all indivicual. I think that is true. "C. Do you have any suspicions or any unforried ideas in your * mind about this thing? ‘ "RK. No, I still adhere to my original idea about that thing, whether it is right or wrong. = "), I mean as to any personal, not to any political, status it might have-- "A. No. "Q. You have no idea how any such a plan or tabulated series of papers could be-- "A. I don't know whether there was such a plan or tavulated series of papers. I just don't know that; I have seen nothing. lo one has told me thet there was such a plan. I have heard this suid in conver- sation among officers that that was a part of a plen--I don't remember the designation; this was afterwards. Here's something I have heard of. I have heard of an ali-out effort, and in the ciscussion of personnel for that all-out effort I have heard that we would have somewhere between 600,00_and a million men in the army air force. If you checked that thing out that means that we are going to have anywhere from forty to a hundred thousend officers. We had eighteen hundred, I believe, three years ago, so you can see what a tremendous expansion it would wean. "QQ. Where did that knowledge come froin? “A. I don't know, MR. TAH: The allegation is made from some source that this plan was not handled by someone in the War Department direct to a news- paperman, but that it went out through chammeis on the basis of a personal liaison between someone rather prominent in the isolationist group who had connections in the Var Department and other connections on the hill or in newspaper circles. Naturally in an inquiry of this kind the name of Colonel LINDB.RGH comes into discussion and I wondered if you knew anything about Colonel LINDB=.iGH's connections in the Air Corps--who he might have a business association with, what his associations there were.
