   PER CURIAM:

Appellant was properly charged. Conerly v. United States, 350 F.2d 679 (9th Cir. 1965).

Appellant’s answer in the negative in response to an inquiry constituted a false representation under 18 U.S.C. § 1001. Tzantarmas v. United States, 402 F.2d 163 (9th Cir. 1968); Brandow v. United States, 268 F.2d 559 (9th Cir. 1959).

Appellant was not deprived of a fair trial by reason of the District Court’s response to provocative conduct on the part of appellant’s trial counsel.

Judgment affirmed.
