Mr. Powers. I don't recall; no, sir.

Mr. Jenner. Anything else that you recall occurred on this ship, either something that occurred or impressions that you have or now have of this man during this period of time?

Mr. Powers. No.

Mr. Jenner. For the purpose of perhaps refreshing your recollection, was there an occasion in which he made some comment that "All the Marine Corps did was to teach you to kill," and after you got out of the Marines, you might be good gangsters?

Mr. Powers. Yes; he made that statement. Now, whether it was at this particular period of time or not, I'm not sure.

Mr. Jenner. You do recall that he made that statement?

Mr. Powers. That statement was made and I think it was—he was probably parroting somebody else that made the statement previously. And I think it was—this was a common statement, but as I recall, he—he did say this.

Mr. Jenner. Yes.

Mr. Powers. But now when we were playing chess at one period of time, whether it was on the ship or not, I'm not sure, possibly it could have been in Japan, but it would most likely have been on that ship.

Mr. Jenner. I take it, however, that this you might classify as some griping——
