Japanese Study
| Balkan States
lDefenses
Ry Radio to The Star.

By Radio to The Star.
ISTANBUL, Jan. 9.-Japanese In
terest in the Balkans Is increasing
to a remarkable degree as the Firms
continue to maltreat the Red Army.
A special Japanese mission is
touring the states of Southeastern
Europe, apparently to gauge the
possibilities of Balkan resistance in
the event of Russian or German
attack.
It is believed by diplomatic quar-
ters here that the japanese have
been discreetly suggesting that the
formation of a Balkan bloc would
be a grand idea. It is noteworthy
that there has been an influx into
the Balkans of Japanese camera
men and newspaper correspondents.
Barely a month ago Japan signed
a friendship pact with Iran. Such
a pact may mean nothing. On the
other hand, it may justify the in
crease of Japanese ENJOYS to Iran
wishing to observe Russia from a
fresh angle. Iran and Japan have
at least one thing in commons
vital interest in anything Soviet
Russia may do. j,

1--WE must have Hore- -Belisha," was
the heading of half-page advertise
ment in Lord Beaverbrook' Evening
Standard today.
It was learned that advertisements
in support of Mr.. Hore-Belisha were
submitted to a number of news
papers last night, but we're rejected
because the advertising agency offer
ing them refused to divulge the
name of the sponsor.
The Evening Standard advertise
ment said:
IF all our statesmen had the
power to override convention and
tradition in order to win the
war, we might be able to view the
loss of Leslie Hore-Belisha with
equanimity.
But as it is - we have Cham
berlain; we have Churchill, and we
had Hore -Belisha."
Mr.. Hore- -Belisha's services to the
army and his work in transporting
it to France were itemized, with the
comment:
'You can't make omelettes with
out breaking eggs. You cannot re-
form and reinvigorate the entire
tradition of any army without
treading on some peoples corns."
"He Must Come Back"
In thick black type was the state
ment:
I'VE can't lose -Belisha. He
must come back to the war cabi-
net"
It ended with the injunction to
write or wire your M. p"
Meanwhile war Office officials ex-
amined an unsigned letter, headed
"A Call to All Loyal Englishmen," ;"
which made violent attack on Mr..
Hore-Belisha and the Jewish race.
1t charged the army, navy and
Royal Air Force are under control
of Jews and aliens.
It was written on war Office note
paper, presumably stolen. It had
been circulated widely through the
mails and was said to have reached
army officers.

Island in Chesapeake
Radios Appeal for
Milk for Babies
Ice Blocks Supply;
Gov. O'Conor Acts to
Aid Oyster Fleet

An appeal for milk was radioed
today by residents of Smith Island,
ice locked settlement in Chesapeake
Bay.
The message from the island said
fresh milk was needed for babies,
adding that other food supplies were
adequate. Tho ice around the island
is too thick to permit passage of
fishing boats, put not thick enough
to support walker. The radio over
which the appeal was sent was in
stalled on the island several years
ago after a food shortage in the
dead of winter.
The snow and ice which blanketed
Maryland was causing death and
suffering elsewhere in the State.
Heavy snow-as deep as Is inches
at some points on the Eastern Shore
and thick ice were causing the
trouble.
Icebreakers Withdrawn.
Frederick Kipp, Baltimore Harbor
engineer, announced the withdrawal
of the icebreakers Annapolis and
Latrobe from the upper bay. He
predicted the upper bay would be
frozen solidly by sunset today
Gov Herbert r. O'Conor ordered
the State conservation steamer Gov.
McLane to proceed to Cambridge
today. in an effort to free the oyster
fleet which is bottled up in that
harbor. Another, smaller, boat will
be dispatched to aid this ship, Gov.
O'Conor said.
An appeal for aid to Eastern Shore
residents was sent to the Coast
Guard today. and it appeared likely
that cutters would be dispatched to
Crisfield, which also is ice locked,
and possibly to Smith Island.
Oystermen's activities have practi-
cally been halted by ice.
The Yankee and American Clip
pers of the Pan-American AirWays
are due tomorrow from the Azores.
and it was indicated bay ice would
prevent their landing at Baltimore.
They probably will be ordered to
Miami, officials said.

Massachusetts, what her judgment
had been as to whether there had
been a lockout.
Il had no judgment" she said.
"The testimony was extremely con-
flicting."
Prepared Evidence Digest.
Miss Freezing explained that her
only function in the case was to
prepare a digest of the evidence
for the board.
Mr.. Toland, in further questions,
emphasized that the trial examiner
in the Litchfield case had held there
was no lockout and the board had
reversed him.
WAS the boards decision based
on its study Of your summary OF
the evidence?'
That and a partial study of the
record" she said.
When the committee counsel
pressed Miss Freezing to say how
she summarized transcripts of evil
dence at hearings and objected that
she was not answering his ques-
tions, Representative Murdock pro-
tested. The Utah member con-
tended the witnesses answers had
been responsive. He insisted that
she be treated fairly"
The clash between Mr.. Toland
and Mr.. Murdock followed.
Exchange Is Stricken Out.
After a whispered conference be-
tween the Utah member and the
chairman, Mr. Murdock agreed to
have the exchange stricken from
the record, and the interrogative
proceeded.
do you know what subornatior
of perjury is?" Mr.. Toland asked
the witness.
II believe I do"
"What is it?"
Seeking and urging some one
to perjure himself"
Didn't YOU make this notation
regarding Mr.. Davis? Tried to in
duce men to say they were locked
out?'"
Il did"
Did Mr.. Madden say anything
about having been informed of this
by telephone?"
Il think Mr.. Madden did state
he was already familiar with the
situation"
Before today's hearing started, Mr.
Murdock said procedure of the COM
mittee was unfair and one-sided In
many instances.
A majority of the committee-ir
Mr. Murdock's absence-decided last
month to present its own testimony
and evidence of any and all subjects
then afford the board an opportu-
nifty to reply.
How unfair it is to present only
one side of these episodes and have
to wait two or three weeks longer tt
hear whatever the board has to say,
Mr. Murdock said. ''They may have
soh1c answer, I don't know"
