Refuses Demand Divulge Secrets
 Navy Program

TOKYO. Japan, Feb. 12, (P)- Japan refused formally to divulge it's secret naval construction in it's reply to demands from United States, Britain and France, but said it was willing, however, to discuss limitations on a quantitive basis-restricting the size of the fleets, rather than individual ships.
 The note which was for1nal, Japan contended that she failed to see "any logical reason for as- stunning that she was planning to build warships beyond the Lon don Treaty Limitations, and add ed that she has mo intention of possessing armaments which may menace other countries"
 The notes demanding clarifca- tion, said that if Japan unanswer- ed them, the powers would as sume that Japan was planning bigger ships and would feel free to take whatever action that by direction they saw fit.

Working Toward General Peace in

UNDATED. Feb. IA, (P-Major international differences in Eur ope and the Orient seemed nov ing to stage which neared set clement bloodlessly on one hand in one of the worlds greatest bat ties; the other-Eureopean chan celleries discussed prospects of general European appeasement, in which Italy would gain British recognition of her Ethiopian con quest, and Germany would regain her colonies lost in the world war.
 The announced agreement, look ing toward a settlement of Ger many's long shouted demands for sources of raw materials under her own flag, was suggested as a ''big surprise".
 Adolph Hitler's dramatic con ference, Saturday, with Austria's Chancellor von Schusnigg, is be- lieved to have eaSed the long standing Austrian German ten- sion, was a condition, to what is regarded widely as a new and more hopeful approach to peace in Europe. Britain and France on the one hand, and Italy and Germany on the other, seemed almost ready for accord.
 But on the other side of the world in Central China, the bat tlefields where Mongol horsemen of Genghis Khan seven hundred years ago struck terror in the heart of Asia, the conquering Ja- panese army seemed to be clos ing the only exit from Chiang Kai Shek's lifeline corridor and the annihilation of his four hun dred thousand men, the cream of China's defense forces, which might force China to sue for peace.

Congressman is Fearful Actual
 Fighting Japs

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 13, (P) ACongressrnan Schwellenbach ,contended that an open conflict might result from the failure of the United States to settle the current dispute with Japan over tour Fishery Rights and the con- 'tinued operation of Japanese float ling canneries in traditionally Ann lerican salmon fisheries waters off the Alaskan coast, and further said 1t might result in the de struction by our fishermen, of vessels from which our fishery resources were destroyed.
 Schwellenbach further said: "the problem of averting this pos sibility is of paramount import ance to the federal government, I doubt if the legislative and character of legislation now pend ing, which I have unopposed, but which might prove ineffective, the Japanese fishing methods belond the three mile limit will ultimate ly deplete the fisheries and ruin the industry. Our taxpayers spend money conserving the sal mon for our shermen each year, and have sacrificed profits in or der to conserve them. We should not be more willing to submit to their destruction than we should be willing to submit to foreign destruction of any other of our property"
 The senator said, the salmon belonged to the United States be- cause it spawned and died in American waters and contended that more than four hundred thousand dollars was being spent yearly for conservation work.

Dewey FIG HTS
TO SAVE CASE;
DECISION N EAR
Judge Hears Both Sides
In His Chambers
BY JAMES L. KILGALLEN


NEW YORK, Sept. IL U.N.S0.
with the Hines case teetering on
the tight rope Of q legal techni-
cality, court recessed until 2 this
afternoon without Judge Ferdi-
nand Pecora announcing his de-
cision on q defense motion that
q mistrial be declared and the pro
ceedings against Tammany Leader
James j. Hines thrown out Of
court.
Judge Pecora remained in his
chambers all forenoon consulting
legal authorities and considering
memorandum submitted by attor-
neys for both sides.
HINES IN GOOD HUMOR
Hines sat In court during most
of the forenoon, or smoked Gig
arettes IN the corridor. He
seemed in good humor and joked
with reporters.
The "blue-ribbon" jury came
from their hotel to the court
house but did not come into the
courtroom.
Judge Pecora sent for District
Attorney Thomas E. Dewey and
the famous racket buster"
marched into the judges cham
berS with a solemn, determined
expression on his face and fire
in his eyes. Chief Defense Coun-
sci Lloyd P. Stryker and Attor-
ney Joseph Shalleck, also Of de-
fense counsel, already were there.
Judge Pecora has had memo
randa from both sides in support
Of their contentious and listened
to further arguments.
It generally was believed Judge
Pecora will announce his decision
shortly after court reconvenes this
afternoon. What it will be was, Of
CuorSe, a matter Of conjecture.
The fact he delayed SO long clearly
indicated, however, he regarded
the issue involved as extremely i'm
portant.
DEMANDS MISTRIAL
The demand for q mistrial was
made suddenly by Stryker on Sat
urday afternoon as Dewey was
crosS-examining Lyon Boston, a de-
tense witness. In his interrogation,
Dewey apparently attempted by
inference to link the defendant.
Tammany Leader James J. Hines,
to the poultry racket.
Hines is on trial for something
entirely apart from the poultry
racket. He is charged with hav-
ing entered a conspiracy with the
'Dutch" Schultz mob in connec-
ton with the policy Cor numberS)
racket.
Stryker, in demanding mistrial
for Hines, invoked a clause in
the laws Of evidence that forbids
q witness to be questioned by the
prosecutor about the testimony
Of some other witness in some
other proceeding.
