Bar Association Hit
For Effort 10 Govern
Justice Department
Assistant Attorney
General Answers Attack
On Public Statements
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Assistant Attorney General Thur
man Arnold declared last night that
the Justice Department cannot be
governed" by the American Bar
Association.
A Special Committee of the st.
Louis Bar Association recently had
reported that Mr.. Arnold's policy Of
issuing public statements concern
ing antitrust suits before those
suits are filed in court should be
submitted to the American Bar As
sociation for an opinion as to
whether the policy was ethical.
Explains Position.
In a letter to Forrest M. Henker,
chairman of the St. Louis Commit
tee. Mr.. Arnold said:
whether the policy is right or
wrong is. of course, open to debate.
Nevertheless, the administration of
the law by the Attorney General
cannot be authoritatively governed
by a cannon Of ethics passed and
interpreted by a group Of private
citizens. however public spirited
they may be-"
Explaining his policy of issuing
statements. he said:
THE public and the press insist
upon news concerning the activities
Of the Government; and important
investigations and prosecutions are
news.
I'm consequence, interviews with
the press concerning departmental
prosecutions and investigations have
been the rule for years. As a prac-
tical matter, 1t could not have been
otherwise.
Purpose Of Statements.
I'm our public statements. we
have been seeking to reduce the
necessity for such interviews to a
minimum: to assure uniformity in
response to all persons interested;
to maintain a standard of careful
accuracy In statements, and to take
complete and express responsibility
for statements originating with us. +"
The canon of ethics to which Mr..
Arnold referred is a condemnation
of statements by lawyer regarding
pending or anticipated litigation in
which he is involved. The canon
holds such statements may inter-
fere with a fair trial.
It points out, however, that "the
extreme circumstances of q par
ticular case" may sometimes justify
q statement.

Medical Opinion
Before Court in
Stinson Case
Physician Believes
Mrs. Crounse Was
In Mental Fog :

The hypothetical medical opinion
that the wealthy Mrs. Lola Crounss
was suffering from q temporary
mental breakdown brought on by
overdoses of sedative drugs when
she married Joseph Whitla Stinson
was before Justice Oscar r. Luh-
ring today at the close of the second
week of the annulment trial in Dis
trict Court.
Just before the case was recessed
for the week end late yesterday DR..
Roger S. Cohen, a psychiatrist, SO
answered an assumption that the
plaintiffs evidence was true as sum-
married by Alvin L. Newmyer, at.
torney for Mrs. Stinson.
This testimony. as outlined, would
indicate, DR.. Cohen said, that the
then Mrs. Crounse was suffering
from a toxic psychosis when she
went through the ceremony at Bar
Harbor, Me-, September 27, 1887.
Pink and Green Medicines.
The symptoms, the physician said,
would suggest only one other possi-
BILE form of mental disorder-a trau-
matte psychosis, caused by a blow
over the head. The evidence, as re-
cited by the attorney, purported to
show purchases of barbituric prepa-
rations, In considerable quantities d.
times, over period Of IS months.
Mrs. Stinson has testified that she
was given pink and green medicines
by the half tumblerful by her nurse,
Miss Jessica Shoemaker, whom the
complaint accuses of conspiring with
Mr.. Stinson to bring about the mar.
riage.
DR.. Cohen. formerly on the staff
OF st. Elizabeth's Hospital and now
member of the District Commits
sion on Mental Hygiene. said VIC
TINS OF this type of drug poisoning
were apt to move in a mental fog,
to be extremely nervous, unsteady
OF gait and either depressed or
elated. These were some of the
symptoms ascribed to Mrs. Stinson
by various witnesses.
Incompetent, Says Witness.
Assuming the plaintiffs evidence
to be true, DR.. Cohen said of Mrs.
| Stinson
"She was unable that summer to
care for herself or her property"
WAS she competent to contract
the marriage?"
mo, she was not" the doctor re-
piled.
A quart of pheno- barbital in IA
days-among the drug store records
Of purchases for Mrs. Stinson sub.
mitted in evidence-was termed by
DR.. Cohen most unusual" though
he said some of the other quantities
bought were of ordinary quantities
The cross-examination of DR.. Co.
hen by Carroll L. Beedy, counsel
for Mr.. Stinson, will be continued
when the trial is resumed Monday.
Another witness yesterday was
DR.. John A. Reisinger, a specialist
In internal medicine. He said he
examined Mrs. Stinson in June of
1888 and found her in good physical
condition. but complaining of ex-
ceSsive nervousness.
This physician also was led bv
the attorneys into an extended dis.
cusslon OF the normal and excessive
use OF sedatives and inducing
medicines. He said what could be
called an excessive dose depended
largely on the individual.

for the British air ministry, reported
today
Comdr. Browns report was made
public through the British Embassy
here and the text cabled to London
The Cavalier sank after a forced
descent about 285 miles southeast
Of Long Island on q flight to Ber-
muda. Two of the eight passengers
and one Of the crew Of five lost their
lives.
"The forced descent was due to
fading of engines caused by COM
plete loss Of power in two inner en-
gines and partial loss Of power Of
two outer engines" the report said.
This was the result of carburetor
trouble due to icing. The sea condl-
tions were too severe to make a good
landing possible. As a result Of
damage caused to the hull in alight-
ing. the cabins were quickly flooded.
and about Is minutes later Cavalier
broke in half, aft of rear spar, and
sank"
Officers Praised.
Capt. M. r. Anderson and First
Oflcer Neil Richardson behaved
with great GOODNESS throughout" the
report said.
Comdr Brown said Donald Miller,
the first passenger to die, was hold
ing his lifebelt, but not wearing It,
when he entered the water. adding:
1T Is thought he was stunned by
part of the Cavaliers structure, but
there is no definite proof Of this.
THE other passenger who lost his
life. Mr.. John Noakes, was severely
injured at landing, as. contrary to
verbal instructions issued, he stood
up to see what was happening. He
died six hours later.
Steward B. Spence. the member
Of the crew who died, wore himself
out assisting the passengers until he
lost his reason"
The 10 survivors were rescued by
the Standard OIL Co. tanker ESQ

nearly 10 hours.

ment to enable the crew to raise
temperature Of the incoming air be-
fore it reaches the carburetor jets,
with temperature indicator visible to
pilots. It also urged that passengers
be strapped in their seats at take Oh
and landing.
The report cleared up confusion
over radio message from the plane
saying. Running into bad weather,
may have to earth" Comdr. Brown
said this was widely interpreted as
may have to land" and caused
Capt. Anderson to be unfairly criti-
cized for cs1nplacency in continuing
on his route. after knowledge that
he was in trouble, for 40 minutes
before the accident occurred"
May have to earth." 1t was ex-
planned. merely meant grounding OF
the radio aerial to cut out static.
The report said all British regula-
tions, under which the Cavalier was
operated, were complied with and
that the plane was in good condition
prior to its departure. Weather re-
ports justified Capt. Anderson in
making the flight, 1t added.

was omcially silent, = belief spread
that q pact would be concluded.
Public opinion in the past has
opposed involving Japan in any
commitment to European war and it

likewise, was attempting to avoid
entanglements.
The Emperor received Premier
Baron Hiranuma in audience, but
1t was said that the premier merely

which closes its session omcially

Military Pact Advocated.
Minority parties, however, pre-
sented a resolution advocating con-
version of the anti-comintern agree
ment with Italy and Germany into
a military alliance.
A statement, which was handed
to Baron Hiranuma In the presence
of Minister without Portfolio Prince
Konoye, War Minister 1t. Gen.
Itagaki and Foreign Minister Arita,
said that "a tri-partite military al
lance between Japan, Germany and
Italy should be concluded against

No Help for Japan.
Official sources declared that a
commitment with Germany and
Italy would not help Japan. On the
contrary, If European war started,
the Japanese fleet would be of vast
