Arraigned Here;
Hearing Feb. 1st
lContlnued IRON Fac ID

tCOltlnuGQ from rage i
bling circles, on an attempted
murder charge in Los Angeles.
Chief bone of contention be-
tween attorneys in setting a pre-
liminary hearing date was the alb
sence OF Yamatoda. one of the
defendants. Yamatoda is held in
jail in Mexicali by Mexican i'm
migration authorities and officials
Wednesday said he would receive
hearing there in few days.
Sullivan. with Attorney Harry
Horton. sought to delay arraign-
ment until Yamatoda could be re-
leased by Mexico.
Deputy District Attorney Ralph
French, however, said the prosecu-
ton would proceed against Shef-
field and Kubo regardless OF
whether Yamatoda is brought
across the line in the meantime.
Beside the arraignment, the
latest move in the involved case
was new attempt to spring
Yamatoda from the MeXicali jail.
Following a request from Yamato-
das lawyers, who according to
Chief Oswalt promised him a free
hand. chief OSwalt late Tuesday
and early Wednesday sought the
asserted gamblers release, but
failed.
The japanese consulate l was
told had washed its hands of the
case" Oswalt said. Mexican i'm
migration men told me they didn't
want to release him because his
papers had been sent to Mexico
City and hearing was expected
soon" Yamatoda is held on charges
of illegal entry.
Meanwhile, Sonoda. star witness
for the prosecution, remained IN
the county Jail of his own free will.
Offered his release, he refused on
the theory that he was safer be-
hind bars.
A months delay before the pre-
llminary was necessary because OF
conflict in attorneys dates. Sulli-
van indicated that Jerry Giesler,
prominent crimlnai lawyer repre-
senting Yamatoda, intended to be
present.

Officials indicated that the Unit

Japan will deeply resent any
program to increase defenses in the
western Pacific and likely will
'retaliate' with efforts to strength

near Alaska. United States-Japa-

strained by series OF sharply
worded notes protesting japanese
activities in China.
Officials said it would be "ex-
tremely difficult" for the United
States 10 defend Alaska under
present conditions against a nearby
major power, such as Japan. The
proposed program, it was said, is
also required for protection of a
large section of the Pacific north

problems, the best three congresses

pressing needs of the new order OF

This new objective is a national
income of 100000 100000 year, off
ten to twelve billion from previous
New Deal obiectives. But he said
the smaller sum would hulWark

to provide ample federal revenue

They would be expected to be di-

most consistently been in conflict
with the United States over un-
warranted interference with Ameri-

idea that the United States should
be considered a mere $50 900, 900 OOt
