Attorney General Cummings rec
commended today that Congress in
vestigate operation of the antitrust
laws for the purpose Of bringing them
into harmony with present needs"
"Obviously the statute in its present
form is not adequate for the purpose
OF dealing with the many ramifica-
tions of the problem" he said in his
annual report. "A thorough and
comprehensive study is necessary"
Cummings said there had been no
basic change in the Sherman anti
trust law since its enactment in 1890
He added:
In the meantime, however, it has
undergone many notifications by ju-
dicial Interpretation. During the At
years that the statute has been in ef-
feet our economic and social structure
has undergone vast change.
Though aimed at the suppression
OF monopolies and restraints of trade,

Investigation
Hits Un-American Probe
As Degenerated to
witch Hunt

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug.
Is. (UP)-The Dies commit
tee which is investigating un-
American activities has de-
generated into a witch
hunt" Harry Bridges, West Coast
director of the CIO said today.
Under fire of a report made to
the committee, in which much Oh
the labor unrest and trouble on the
Pacific coast was attributed to him,
Bridges suggested that the La Fol-
lette civil liberties committee make
an investigation.
"The Dies committee was sup
posed to investigate fascism, parti-
cularly the Bund groups, but it
seems to have got sidetracked,' he
said. MY answer to all these
charges is that the La Toilette COM
mittee make an investigation and
get both sides of the picture.
"If there is to be an investiga-
ton. how about investigating the
Associated Farmers of California,
the Waterfront Employers Associa-
ton, and few other groups. They
should investigate Joe Ryan and
his racketeering on the east coast.
1--WE will open our books and
records to any such inquiry and
will cooperate in anyway possible
to get to the bottom of the whole
situation"

Frey continued his Testimony

These charges were included in

throughout Germany. Hitler went
to Huterbog, 40 miles south of Ber-
lin, the Semi-official news agency
DNB announced. He watched troops
open exercises there.
On the surface life was normal.
But to all purposes, the largest
and most intensive war maneuvers
since the World war were under
way. In all parts of the country
army reserves left their Jobs and
homes for 30-odd training camps
throughout the country.
A war ministry spokesman ex-
planned to the United Press that
the maneuvers would be held in
series, at different dates in differ
ent parts of the country depending
on the completion of harvesting
in each area.
There was no public fanfare, nc
marching or trumpet blowing to
mark the start of the war games.
The maneuvers will affect civil
ian life to a greater extent thar
previous postwar maneuvers. One
of the objects seems to be to tes
how production and general eco.
nomic life may be carried on unde
war conditions.
Two recent laws enabled the gov
eminent to require greater cooper
alton with the army-conscriptio
of labor and requisitioning of sue
things as buses. The army is rnak

"A federal indictment against E.
w Sinclair, brother of Harry F..
Sinclair, was dismissed on June 2
of this year"
The justice department an
nouncement said:
This statement is direct re-
Election upon the integrity of the
four attorneys of the department
of justice who were solely respon-
sible for the conduct of the grand
jury proceedings and the SubSe-
quent dismissal of the indictment
Action of the government coun-
sci and the grand jury were based
solely on the evidence in the pos
session of the government, and no
outside representations of any kind
from any source were brought to
the attention of either the grand
jury or the attorneys conducting
the cases.
These proceedings were con-
Quoted uninfluenced by James
Roosevelt or any one else and it
may be of interest to note that
none of the attorneys in this case
had any acquaintance or communi-
cation with James Roosevelt direct
ly or indirectly.
The lightest inquiry would have
disclosed the true facts and the
consequent falsity of the charge"

BRITISH ANGER
AROUSED OVER
FLAG INCIDENT
Fear Japanese May Try
To Occupy international
Settlement

SHAN H A l, Aug. Is.
(UP)-Tension between the
japanese military command
and foreign authorities in
creased today and some
quarters expressed fears that the
Japanese might attempt to occupy
the International Settlement.
The anger of British authorities
was aroused when japanese soldiers
lowered the British flag and hoist
ed the japanese on the British tug,
Victoria, aground in the Yangtse
river off Kiangyn.
Eight japanese soldiers took over
the vessel. British and Japanese
naval authorities began negotiat-
ing after a vigorous British protest.
Foreign military officials held a
long conference at which it was
understood they discussed a plan
to place permanent semi-military
control over all unoccupied areas Of
the settlement.
In this manner they hoped to
stamp out Chinese-Japanese terror
ism, particularly involving the
japanese especial service branch"
of propagandists. There were in
dications that the japanese army
was planning a firmer stand in
support of the propagandists -
armed plainclothesmen who have
been filtered through the British
and American defense sectors to
threaten Chinese and distribute lit
erature denouncing the Chinese
national government.
