mind about this thing?
4 "2. Wo, 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--
"Q. You have no idea how any such a plan or tabuleted series
of papers could be--
"Rh. I don't know whether there was such a plan or tapulated
serles of papers. I just don't know that; I have seen nothing. Ho 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 plan--I don't remember
the designation; this was afterwards. Here's sometninc I have heard of.
I have heard of an ali-out effort, and in the ciscugssion 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 forces. 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 4 tremendous expansion it would inean.
"QZ. Where did that knowledge come froin?
WA. I don't know,
MR, TAM: The allegation is made from some source that this
plan was not handled by someone in the War Departnent cirect te a news-
paperman, but that it went out throuch chamels on the basis of a personal
liaison between someones rather prominent in the isolationist group who
hac 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 ‘new
anything about Colonel LINDB:..GH's connections in the Air Corps--who he
might have a business association with, what his associations there were.
