 Attorney Cohen and United States Senator John A. Danaher were as- sistants to Major Buckley for sev- eral years in the United States at torney's office. Major Buckley re- tired from active participation in Republican politics, in which he was one of the chief aides of the late J.. Henry Roraback, following censure as to alleged lobbying practices by the Waterbury grand jury under di- rcction of Hartford States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn, ST.
 Attorney Cohen was associated with States Attorney Alcorn m the prosecution of Gerald Chapman, who was hanged al Wethersfield in April, 1926. following States Alter ney Alcorn,s pr0aecuticn.

 The victim was then carried to the chambers of Judge Inglis and placed on a couch, where he was treated by Doctor Burke.
 Attorney Patrick Healey, counsel to MT. Fleming said that the doctor had given permission to keep MT. Fleming at court until o'clock, at which time he must be present for the swearing in the twelfth juror who was chosen today.
 Taken to His Home
 He will be removed to his home immediately thereafter, however. In all probability he will be kept at home to rest for a couple of days. Until he is able to attend court again, no further proceedings can take place in connection with the conspiracy trial.
 Judge Inglis is expected to ad- journ court today and proceed with the drawing of new panel of veniremen who will be used in the event the alternate juror plan is ap- proved.

Conn.,, office, and Julian Thompson, treasurer of McKesson & Robbins, could have known the "crude drug departments" actual status at the time Slade talked with Spellaacy on Dec. investigators believed
 Slade also informed him, Spellacy said, of the sale of M. & R. stock by director and of the company's intention to borrow $3,00o, 900 in the following week. Spellacy said he went to U. s. Judge Edwin s. Thomas and learned that another New Haven attorney had supplied the judge with similar information about the company and the $18,- 100000 imitation.
 The result was the equity receiv- ership on Dec. in which Vincent Dennis, Hartford corporation coun- sel, acted as plaintiff with 2,000 shares of stock supplied by Slade.
 The SEC hearing, meanwhile, brought out that McKesson & Rob- bins, from 1926 to 1888, had paid more than $1,O0O,O00 for audits tc Price, Warehouse & Co.,, New York accounting firm. Albert B. Ritts, in charge of the Price, Waterhouse audits of the Bridgeport division o1 the drug company, said Coster's fic' titious transactions were reported ir records so complete and apparently trustworthy that the accountants never thought of going beyond them
 It was disclosed that the three surviving brothers of Coster, whc committed suicide Dec. 16, had been rebuffed by federal authorities tc whom they offered to plead nolc contender to charge of falsifying fl. lnancial statements and accept sen. tence. Such a plea, if accepted would save the brothers-George, Arthur and Robert Musica-from facing civil suits in connection with the drug scandal.

alleged today that President Roose- welt had shown that he was recon ciled to leaving office in l940.
 Continuing the apparent effort by Nazis to isolate the president, in his anti-dictatorship stand, from the American people as whole, the of- ficial news agency joined the ap- pointments of Frank Murphy as att torney generalAnd Harry L. Hopkins as secretary of commerce with the appointment of Frankfurter and said all were made in defiance of popular will.
 Roosevelt again has been i'll ad- vised or else he is determined to put everything on one card and sur round himself during his last two years of office with as many New Dealers as possible.
 "This possibility was indicated when he appointed two supporters of his policy as secretary of com- merce and attorney general.
 "All these appointments are in crass opposition to popular senti- ment in the United States as proved in the November elections.
 "It seems, however, that Roosevelt does not care about this. He himself is apparently convinced that another term of office for him is out of the question"
 Blow At Frankfurter
 The zeitung Am Mittag said of Frankfurter's appointment:
 By his public activities as well as by the appointment of Jew as one of the supreme guardians of the law of the United States, Roosevelt has shown the intention to make the United States plantation of Jewish interests in domestic and foreign policy.
 "This is being achieved by system- atic transformation of public opin- ion in the United States"
 The Voelkischer Beobachter, off, cial organ of the Nazi party, con- tinued its attack on the presidents "State of the Union" message to Congress, again taking the presum- ably approved line that MT. Roose- welt was attacking foreign dictators to distract attention from his own failures.
 Caricature of President
 A caricature of the president, pub lished by the newspaper on an inside page, was made the vehicle for this comment:
 Franklin Delano Roosevelt, pres ident of the U. s. A., in his Congress speech disclosed that he would like to make his country ripe for war. To divert Americas mind from his fail-

 Signifiant In this connection is the movement southward of the fleet from California and eastern Pacific areas to the Caribbean and south At lantic, via the Panama Canal, for maneuvers next month.
 Mystery Appropriation
 Inter-American defense and other related problems, including the e50O,00 900 mystery" appropriation and authorization which President Roosevelt has asked Congress for, were discussed at White House con- ference late yesterday. The chief executives chief defense and foreign affairs advisers attended, including Acting Secretary of State Sumner Welles, State Department Counsel Tor R. Walton Moore, Secretary of War Harry H. Woodring, Assistant Secretary of War Louis Johnson, As- sistant Secretary of Navy Charles Edison, Chief of Naval Operations Admiral William D. Leahy, and Chief of Staff Gen Malin Craig.
 The president has asked immedi- ate appropriation of $210,Oo0, 900 of the proposed mystery" fund in ad- 6ition to more than $1,000, 100000 in regular army and navy appropria- tions. He asked that he be granted authority under the remaining $780, O00,000 to let contracts to be paid for ct future date.
 He is expected to explain the new program in a special national de- fense message to be sent to Congress early next week.

N. Y. POLICEMEN
 TRAP DOPE MOB
(Contirlued from Page D

| (Conttrfued from Page D Ruisi, 9, a waiter; Luigi Esposito, 42, tavern owner, and Frank Wis., ciano, 29, longshoreman, all of Brooklyn. They were held for fed- eral authorities.
 Story of Trap Told
 The story. as told by Assistant District Attorney Paul Seiderman, was as follows:
 Runey and Brennan first re- ported their suspicious to District Attorney William Geoghan. He gave them free rein and assigned Ser geant John Sweeney of the harbor squad to assist them. He also com- municated with federal authorities in Washington and got their as- sistance.
 The two detectives posed as crim- inals, met the smugglers, introduced Sweeney as a policeman willing to take a bribe. The smugglers test ed Sweeney. A few weeks ago a cargo of narcotics was brought in on a foreign ship. Sweeney went out in his police launch, met the ship, took off the cargo and de- hvered it to 39th street, Brooklyn, as directed. He received $500 and turned it in to the police property clerk.
 Plan of Smugglers
 Then the smugglers planned @ major exploit, and set it for last midnight. Runey and Brennan re- layed all details to headquarters. Early in the night, the trap was set. Coast Guard boats were sta- toned at the Battery, the lower tip of Manhattan Island and in the East river, off the Bronx, the upper end of the island, cutting off escape from both directions. Four automo- piles filled with policemen and fed- eral agents were stationed in the Bronx, three at the Battery, and five in Brooklyn, where the snug glers operated.
 Shortly before midnight Sweeney took out his launch. With him were Sergeant Andy Devine, four patrol men and two federal narcotic agents. They drew alongside the Ida in the harbor. It was raining hard.
 Men on board began lowering the tins containing altogether 150 lbs. of opium. There were intermittent flashes of lightning but not enough light for the men aboard the ship to see the faces of the men in the launch.
 Dope Was On Way
 When the launch pulled away, a radio notified the Brooklyn peddlers that it was on the way to meet them.
 Police cards and customs boats intercepted the message and closed in.
 The launch hove to at the 39th street pier. A dark sedan was parked nearby. Three men got out of it and went to the launch. The raiders let them carry the opium to the automobile. Then Sweeney demanded:
 How about my bit?"
 'It's all right, you'll get your $5,- 900 in the morning, one replied.
 Then a police siren sounded. One of the three men ran. Detective John Cottone of the narcotics squad or dered him to halt. He fired 8 warning shot. The fleeing man, identified as Visciano, turned and emptied revolver at Cottone. Other policemen began firing.
 The only casualty was Patrolman James Butte of the harbor squad, whose hand was torn when a bullet struck his revolver and knocked it from his grasp.

affairs will make this important point in the probe.
 Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of McKesson & Robbins stock has been traded and sold in Connec- ticut within the past three years, some of the issues sold at prices as high as $54, which MT. Phillips re- lated he paid for a considerable block of stock. His McKesson & Robbins stock holdings, he said, amounted to about $250,0 at 1929 prices.
 Might Have Saved Something
 Doubt was expressed whether hundreds of Waterbury investors in the stock, both preferred and com- mon, of the Canadian McKesson & Robbins and other McKesson & Robbins issues, would have found themselves taking prospective ex- tremely heavy losses had the expos ure been made of Musica three years ago. The amount of the losses con- fronting local holders of the stock was inestimable but best opinion was that it will amount to several hundreds of thousands of dollars, at the least.
 New York, Jan. 6-(UP)-Federal and state agencies continued today their efforts to find a plausible eX- planation for the success with which Philip Musica, as F. Donald Coster, was able to maintain the $18000,- 900 fiction of McKesson & Robbins bogus "crude drug department" while paying more than $1,000,000 during a 12-year period to auditors.
 MuSica, notorious ex convict swindler who assumed a false iden- tity and made himself president of the venerable drug firm, created the elaborate myth of the paper" de- partment, federal officers believed, in order to have source of income with which to appease blackmailers acquainted with his past. But how he was able to maintain it under scrutiny of one of the nations top notch accounting firms was a ques- tion to which the Federal Securities and Exchange commission and the state attorney generals office were still seeking the answer.
 Mystery Angle
 Another mysterious angle of the drug firms recent history developed yesterday when one of the receivers in an equity receivership granted in Hartford, Conn.,, federal court, Dec. expressed the belief that Coster himself precipitated the action.
 Presumably Coster hoped to avert exposure of his true Identity, and that of his three brothers-McKes- son & Robbins executives now under federal indictment-by concentra- ting attention on the $18,000 900 in- f1ation in the company's assests.
 The receiver was Mayor Thomas J, Spellacy of Hartford, who testified at the attorney generals hearing that Benjamin Shade, a New Haven attorney, told him of the $18,000, ,00C shortage early last month and said he advised appropriate court action Slade, according to Spellacy. said he represented a director of McKesSou & Robbins and asked the mayor to act in the case because he was ted up with other business at the time
 What Spellacy Heard
 Spellacy said he "heard" later that Coster himself had recommended the equity receivership, which served as sort of "stopgap" until the com pany itself asked reorganization un- der the Chandler act in New York federal court.

Roosevelt's announcements and the state departments rejection, of a Nazi government protest against a speech made by Secretary of Interior Harold l.. Ickes.
 Hitler May Answer
 In any event, belief was growing stronger that Hitler would answer the president Jan. 30, when the Reichstag is to meet on the occasion of the sixth anniversary of Hitler's accession to power.
 Political quarters here expressed the deepest indignation at what was called a Czech attack and it was an- nounced that the government had sent 8 sharp diplomatic protest to Prague.
 In addition to the representations to Czechoslovakia, it was said, the government brought the incident to the attention of the German and Italian ministers here.
 Germany and Italy arbitrated in the dispute by which Hungarian minority territory in Czechoslovakia, including Munkacz, was awarded to Hungary.
