CALIFORNIAN COAST MANEUVRES “ PURELY ROUTINE Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright WASHINGTON, February 2. (Received February 3, at 10.30 a.m.) Representative Byron Scott (Californian), a member of the Naval Affairs Committee, told the United Press Association that he had received unverified information that the recent naval patrols off the Californian coast were connected with an attempt to locate the whereabouts of two Japanese battleships, of which the United States fleet had lost track. Rear-Admiral Leahy, interviewed by the United Press Association, said the manoeuvres „ were not connected with the. movements of any Japanese warships, but were routine movements planned long ago. “We do not know the whereabouts of the units of the Japanese fleet except those on the China coast,” he said. “We know where those are because our naval units occasionally make contact with them. We have no way of knowing where the other units are.”
