,trday. was able to illuminate the for
NAL arguments presented with side
lixtts disclosing internal political
c"uditiors in japan which are pow

ign cfice in the conduct OF the nego-
th tiors.
Press dispatches from Toxic out
lining the contents OF the japanese

WASHINGTON, June 6.-An unex-

Senator Townsend. OF Michigan, de-
clared on the stand that the influence

tuted the nearest approach to undue
influence upon members OF congress"
that the Investigating committee
would be able to find.
Senator Townsend criticized the
committee for not having asked men,

tonight that an amendment to putt
