 It was obvious that he had scarcely looked at them and was trying to read something that someone had just thrust into his hand.
 Also, Frazier had never known Douglas. had shown no sign of opposing his appointment until just before the Senate was about to confirm 1t. He seldom addresses the Senate, and then only on h. dians or agriculture. This time, however, he suddenly rose and an- nounced his intention to speak.
 Burden of the fumbling talk which followed was that the new Supreme Court Justice was not a real liberal, was not sincere in his campaign to regulate Wall ] Street.
 All of which considerably mys- tified Frazier's senatorial col- leagues and gave them the im- pressi0n that he had merely re- peated . written diatribe against Douglas which . friend had composed fer him.
 Apparent confirmation of this came a little later, when it was reported that instigators of Frazier's remarks were Max Lou enthal, counsel for hte Senate rail- way finance Investigating commit tee, and Orben Litchfield, a mem- Der of the brokerage firm of HibbS & Go.
 Far more interesting, however, was the remark of Litchfield when accused of insuiring the Frazier speech. It indicated that some of the boys are taking the Douglas presidential talk more than seriously.
 "We weren't interested in Douglas as supreme court jus tice," said Litchfield. "All we wanted to do was to spike his guns for 1940."
 NOTE-Max Lowenthal is an intimate friend of Senator Wheel CT of Montana, one of the presi- dential possibilities on the Demo- cratic quasi-liberal ticket. Some New Dealers see the hidden hand of Bert Wheeler in the Lowen- thal-Litchfield-F Frazier by-play in the senate.

 MONROE DOCTRINE IN AIR
 German aviation penetration of Latin America was carefully stu died at secret meeting in the office of Assistant Secretary of War Louis Johnson the other day. Officials of the State, War, Navy and Commerce Departments at tended.
 One Oar Department official reported: "It is an alarming fact that Germany and Italy have recently been making rapid ad- vances which, if not arrested, might we'll end in virtually shutting the United States out of the Latin American aviation market"
 It was also reported that Ger many is developing its F'ocke- Wulf plane to be operated in South America by the Syndicate Condor, a subsidiary of Lufthansa. The route will encircle South America-from Natal, Brazil, to Buenos Aires, then across the An- des to Chile, and up the west coast.
 The Germans have other sub- sidiary companies in Peru, and have just obtained a concession in Ecuador. Still more alarming was the presence of German crews
