Informed circles here were In

denials of unusual events issued
by the Berlin government in
view of uneasiness that persisted
along the reich's major frontiers.
HITLER FACES CRISIS
This tension was increased by
indications that Chancellor Hitler
is in the midst of a drive to weed
out all anti-Nazi elements in the
German army-long a stronghold
of the old and potent Prussian
aristocracy.

Says JACKSON
Senators Get Views
On Procedure

G.N.S.) Sweeping revision Of
the antitrust laws was advocated
tooay by Assistant Attorney Gen
era! Robert H. Jackson.
Testifying before a Senate
subcommittee consider
ing his nomination for solicitor
general, jackson said he favored
changes in many particulars"
At the same time he served
notice he considers the antitrust
laws to be non-partisan-"neither
New Deal, Democrat or Re
publican"
"The antitrust laws have
been on the statute books for 40
years. They are not New
Deal" said jackson.
AUSTIN ASKS ABOUT JUDGE
Senator Austin (R.) of Vermont,
opened his inquiry into the selec-
tion of courts to try antitrust
cases by asking Jackson whether
he chose judges he thought would
be favorable to the Governments
position.
II wouldn't select judge /
thought might be adverse" said
lJaeksoh.
The Vermonter was asking
about the selection of venue for
the recent oil cases in Madison,
Wis, when Senator Norris, Inde-
pendent Republican, Of Nebraska,
remarked:
"Of course, you would go to
the judge you thought would be
favorable to your side. When
corporations seek injunctionS
they try to get a sympathetic
Judge. That is only human"
SEEKS FRIENDLY COURT
Then Jackson, with this support
from Norris, agreed that he would,
within the limitations allowed, Sc
lect the judge he thought most
favorable to his side.
Some judges don't believe
in the antitrust law and others
do," jackson said.
Austin questioned whether the
Government attorneys had pre-
sented their case against the oil
companies fairly.
Those attorneys did a splen-
did job against terrific Odds"
Jackson said.
CITES G. o. P. PLATFORM
Noting that the oil case was still
pending in the courts, Norris said
ne d1o not DelleVe AuSCln "ShOulo
try the oil case here"
"If it is a fact that Mr.. Jack
son, imbued with this New Deal
spirit, selects only courts favor
able to the New Deal, I think
we should know it," snapped
Austin.
my duty is to enforce the
law as written by Congress and
I have tried to carry out the
platform of the Republican party
for criminal and civil enforce
ment of the antitrust laws" said

SECOND NOTE IS SAID

Indicated Proposed Agree ment Has Been Turn
 ed Down Flatly

WASHINGTON. Jan. T. - One exchange of notes between the Unit ed States and Japan is reported to have failed in a settlement of the controversy over encroachment of the Japanese fishing vessels in the Pacific Coast salmon waters.
 The note was sent after American representa- ations were made, follow ing an investigation of Federal Agencies, that west coast fishing interests were menaced and Jap anese trawlers in the Bristol Bay area constituted threat on the do- mestic industry and also depletion of salmon in Alaskan waters.
 This Government is understood to have proposed an agreement where by Japan would restrict activities of it's fishing vessels in adjacent Am erican Territorial waters to Bristol Bay during the seasons run of sal mon.
 The Japanese reply is not revealed but the fact that a new American note has been dispatched after re- ceipt of the Japanese note, indi- cates Tokyo's response is not alto- gether satisfactory.
