Republicans Withdraw
Demand for IS Hours
Of Discussion

Decision by the House on the
1889 version of the Government re-
organization bill appeared likely
early next week as agreement was
reached yesterday that general de-
bate on the measure will be limited
to eight hours.
Consideration was tentatively
slated to begin Monday.
Republicans sought IS hours of
debate, but withdrew from their
position when the majority indicated
failure to reach agreement on the
shorter time would force them to
seek a rule from the rules committee.
Compromising with most of the
objections which led to House de-
feat of reorganization measure
last year, the present bill gives Con-
gress veto power over department.
al changes recommended by the
President.
House Majority Leader Rayburn
said he expected passage with few
Democrats in opposition. Repub-
licans have conceded the bill is an
improvement over last years, but
have indicated they would propose
many amendments.

In Nature, Defense Soys
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, March 4.-United
States District Judge Ralph Jenney
today studied arguments of defense
attorneys for dismissal of peace time
espionage charges against two Rus
sian subjects and former agent of
this country's naval intelligence
service.
Judge Jenney ordered the jury
dismissed until Tuesday after hear
ing claims that the Government has
produced no evidence to show that
information which it charges Hafis
Salich, Russian born naturaDzed in
telligence aide, provided Mikhail
Gorin and his wife Natasha was Of
a confidential nature
The mere fact that the informa-
ton was marked confidential and
placed in confidential file does not
make it confidential" asserted Isaac
Pacht, representing the Gorins.
Gorin is Pacific Coast manager for
Russian travel bureau.
The defense told the court the in
formation is of common knowledge
to laymen, having been used as the
subject matter of magazine articles.
Mr.. Pacht, attorney representing
the Gorins, questioned the right of
Navy Intelligence agents to be the
sole judge of what matter might be
considered confidential.
Salich is accused of stealing in
formation about japanese activities
from Intelligence Bureau files and
selling it for $l,7O0 to Soviet Rus
sian agents through the Gorins.
The defense contended that this
did not injure the United States
national defense because the ac-
cused were acting against Japan as
"a common enemy of the United
States and Russia"

defended Americas democratic lib
critics last night at a tolerance
meeting" held in reply to the WASH
ington Birthday rally of the Ger
man-American Bund.
The stocky little Mayor, who last
month granted the bund permission
to hold it's rally on the ground that
all factions were entitled to free
dom of speech and assembly, told a
crowd of more than 5000 that over
flowed Carnegie Hall:
Il believe in exposing the cooties
to the sunlight. and we recently had
an exhibition of international
cootieS."
Mayor La Guardia, wartime
flyer, said he was not fearful of
Nazi-ism gaining ground in New
York, but "the people of the world
cannot be safe as long as any coun-
try is controlled by irresponsible
dictators."
Ideas Not Wanted.
Declaring that the language of
diplomacy could be used only when

The meeting, sponsored by the

men. Seventeen hundred officers
were assigned to prevent violence at

District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey
IN another message termed the bund
members disciples of bigotry" and
said their rally had disguised mil
lions of citizens"
An ovation greeted Dorothy
Thompson, newspaper columnist
who was escorted from the bund
rally after she laughed at speak
er's remarks. She urged enactment
of laws to prevent "a systematic
campaign against race and religion
with the idea of depriving members
OF that race and religion of their
constitutional rights"

'Do.Nothing' Policy

Scored in Cabinet
French Ministers Split
Over Threats Of Jopun

PARIS, March Am undercover
fight in the French cabinet over
foreign policy was brought into the
open by what political sources de-
scribed today as violent attack"
against Foreign Minister Georges
Bonnet by Colonial Minister Georges
Mandel.
Members Of the Senate Colonial
Affairs Committee disclosed that M.
Mandel had criticized severely M.
Bonnet's handling of these relations
with Japan and Italy over threats
to French colonial prestige in Asia
and North Africa.
M. Mandel indicated, committee
members said, that he had to take
exceptional measures to counteract
What was described as M. Bonnets
"do-nothing' diplomacy"
May Bring Fight to Head.
Political observers considered il
possible M. Mandels action might
bring to head an often-reported
conflict between cabinet supporters
OF M. Bonnet's policy and a group
composed of Minister Mandel, Cam
pinchi, navy; Sararut, interior, and
Zay, education.
Senators said M. Mandel particu-
larly was concerned with Frances
position in Indo-China and French
Somallland. He was said to have
contended that NJ Bonnet took in
ef1ectual action against what many
Frenchmen consider menacing pes-
lures by Japan in occupation of
Chinese Hainan Island, which DOM
mates sea trade routes of Indo-
China, and reported Italian effort
to boycott the Somaliland port of
Djibouti.
Senators said M. Mandel docu-
mented his claims with correspond
ence between his Office and the
foreign ministry.

mittee, however, that as a result
of strengthening of defenses the
colonies were alert and safe from
surprise attack"
He added, nevertheless, Senators
said, that French defenses in Somal-
iland, with vastly superior Italian
forces across the border in Ethiopia,
were "pitifully inadequate"
Even as he spoke, another small
detachment of troops was sailing
from Marseille for Somaliland to
reinforce some 5000 men under
arms there. With them went a del
egation of five deputies to examine
defenses of the colony.
An additional note was injected
into the political situation by formal
renewal Of a Socialist demand that
Premier Daiadier call an inter-
national conference to settle all
existing difficulties in Europe.
