 Soviet Dictator Talks
 "we've had word from the dicta- tor of Russia that they don't want us to pass this bill," Johnson said What would they think of us il we told them what to do in theil internay law"
 Continuing, Johnson said that the argument against Changing the rules" in the middle of the game boiled down to the idea that Ger many will get you--Russia will get you-if you don't watch out"
 "They say changing the rules may cause German aggression" Johnson shouted, waving his pince neg glasses. "They say 1t may cause them to sink our ships. When did 1t come about that the United States, which always prided itself on its independ- ence, should cringe at any country when we want to chang our law"

JAPAN ANSWERS /. UNITED STATES
Sharp Protest of Ambassa-
 dor Grew Is Apprecited 1 But Much Discounted
BY H. o. THOMPSON


 United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Tokyo, Nov. 2-CUP)-The influ- ential Japanese institute of the Pa cific, whose leaders include Gen. Nobuoyuke Abe, the premier, said in a statement today that America must realize that hostilitieS are go- ing on in China and that peace time privileges" are inapplicable.
 The statement was issued as an answer to a recent luncheon speech by Joseph Clark Grew American ambassador, on his return from a vacation in the United States.
 Grew said that Japanese ought to realize that the United States was dissatisfied with actions of the Jap anese army in China. His frank ness caused astonishment. In it's reply today, the institute of the Pa cific congratulated Grew on his frankness but said Japan's view point must be considered.
 Former Premier Kenwichi Yoshi- zawa, a director like Abe of the in- stitute, supplemented the statement in an interview. He said that he believed the Japanese government appreciated the seriousness of Ann erican problems and expressed con- fidence that the foreign office would do its best to improve relations.
 Frankness Appreciated
 Crews frankness was appreciat- ed" he said. We feel that Japan should likewise be frank in exposing her viewpoint in order to improve conditions. We realize that unless something Is done conditions could E. (Contlnued on Page a

BARON WON PAPEN
 TO WARN TURKEY
Sent Back By Hitler to Protest Against Pact
 With Britain, France
By JOSEPH W. GREGG, JR. United Press Staff COrrespondent)

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Berlin, Nov. 2-( (UP) - Baron Franz von Papen, ambassador to Turkey, is returning to Arkara with instructions to put a number of questions to the Turkish foreign minister in an attempt to clarify Turkeys attitude toward Germany, well informed sources said today.
 Disclosing clearly the displeasure of Nazis at the signature by Tur- key of. Q mutual aid pact with Great Britain and France, inspired pub lications took the opportunity to reproach the Turkish government bitterly and to say that Turkey might ultimately repent its move.
 Papen, sent to Turkey as Adolf Hitler's trouble shooting diplomat, returned to Berlin hurriedly to re- port to Hitler when Turkey con- cluded its pact with the Allies and at the same time rejected Russian demands for concessions incident to a proposed Turkish Russian friend- ship pact.
 Left Quietly Tuesday
 It was understood that he left quietly for Ankara Tuesday with its instructions to put specific questions to Turkish Foreign Minister Sukru Saracoglu on the implications of his governments apparent alignment with the Allied forces.
 Papen's departure meant that he would not be able to take part in talks between Hitler and two other key ambassadors, Hans Georg won Mackensen, to Italy, and Baron Friedrich von der Schulenberg, tc Russia.
 Mackensen, summoned to Berlin specially, arrived here Tuesday

the staying of union official last September, testified that he be- lieved American seamen would re- pudiate Communist-inspired strikes but added:
 "One man can sink a ship"
 He charged again that the Ma tional Maritime Union is dominated by Communists. He had attributed his arrest to what he said was a "frame-up" by the NMU to discredit his testimony and the work of the committee. The slain union official, Philip Carey, was an officer of the NMU.
 McCuistion said that in event of U. S.-Soviet war, strikes would be directed primarily against shipment of war materials to countries at war with the Soviet Union.
 Prediction Echoed
 McCuistion's prediction was echoed by Frederick c. Phillips, former union official, who said that Com munists "could sabotage shipping to such an extent that the navy would be powerless."
 "The Communist party in Russia seeks to control the maritime indus. try" Phillips testified, adding that Communism Is so strong amonl maritime workers that 1t could "dt great deal of damage to the United States government and at the same time help Stalin."
