JAPAN NAVAL AUTHORITIES
RIDICULE FALLS CLAIl

TOKYO, Nov 25 R-Japan nava
authorities rid .cule the statement OF
Defense Attorney Hogan in the Fall
Doheny conspiracy trial that the Pear
Harbor storage project was under
taken after reports had been received
that Japan was mobilizing It's se>
forces for an attack on Hawaii auo
the Philippine Islands. They de
clared the fleet mobilization statement
an absurdity and undeserving of COM
ment between America and Japan IN
1921, and also that Japan's eco
name condition then made mobilize,
tion for a movement against Amer
lea virtually impossible even if it
had been desired.
The press here does not commen.
on the matter, apparently not re-
earding it seriously.

Startzman, an expert account
ant, was freed en- writ of habeas

Such information. the complaint
continues, 'if it had been made pub

detrimental to the political aspira-

then seeking reelection to the of

'At the recent western division
meeting Of the United States
Chamber of Commerce in Colorado

OF the discussion was that not one

of any state, and the word of Gov.
Hunt has been given that if his
state can reach an agreement with
California as to the division and
use of water from the lower Colo
RADIO river, Arizona will be ready
to ratify the original compact.
Only a short time ago Arizona had
voiced o strong protest to the
seven states agreement.
"The Swing Johnson bill now
before Congress would provide for
six states ratification and building
of dam in Boulder Canyon, with
the provision that Arizona might
enter the agreemnt later. Wyom-

would leave several questions un-
answered We should stand for
