WASHINGTON, April %
(UP)-Rear Admiral Joseph

chief of naval operations
told the senate naval affair;
committee today that he believed
a war between Japan and tho
United States is inevitable.
He said he thought Japan is
tomenting desperate Far Eastern
situation as prelude to a program
of conquest by which il hopes to
impose its philosophy on much of
the world.
TauSSig, now commandment of the
fifth naval district al Norfolk, Va,
said he believed that Japan intends
10 try to conquer the Philippines,
French Indo-China, the Neither
lands Indies and other sections Of
the Far East.
The Japanese program of world
conquest, he said, was detailed in
memorial from Premier Tanako to
the emperor of Japan on July 25,
1927. Taussig testified that he be-
lieved ii without reservations. de-
spite japanese insistence that the
purported program is fictitious.
Il cannot see," he said. "hoW We
can ultimately prevent being drawn
into war on account of the Far
Eastern situation.
I'VE would be warranted in using
economic and financial means and,
if necessary force. to preserve the
integrity of China"
In the Tanako memorial was a
notation, Admiral Taussig said, that
Japan must first crush the United
States" before embarking on its
carer of world subjugation.
Taussig characterized Japan as a
nation of determined. War-like
people" whose pledges are worth
less" He said Japan is convinced
of the divinity of its origin and
the need for imposing its culture
on the world.
He said the United States only
hope is to build an invinciblc navy

pnulllfled along with that in Impe-
rial county, the United Press re-
ported.
The supreme court held uncon-
stitutional anti-picketing laws in]
Alabama and California.
Acting in almost identical appeals
brought by labors two big rival
organizations the tribunal overrul-
ed state court decisions sustalnlng1
the laws. the United Press said.d
The convictions of two men arrest
ed under these laws were set aside.
Justice Frank Murphy, the new,
est member of the court, wrote both,
decisions, holding that peaceful
piCketing does not constitute such
an aggravated danger" to an en-
ployer as TO warrant such restraints
as were imposed by these sweep
ing laws. Justice James G. Mercy
nolds disSented from both deci-
SiOnS.
The court held that the rights
of labor on the picket line arc
comparable to the property and
business rights Of employers, and
must be protected with equal vigil
ance.
Joseph A. PadWay, counsel of
the American Federation of Labor,
taking the case of Byron Thornhill,
BroWnville, Ala, used virtually the
same argument before the court as
did Lee PreSsman, counsel of the
Congress of Industrial Organiza-
tionS, in the case of John Carlson,
who was convicted of violating a
Shasta county ordinance.
Both attorneys contended that
the laws violated constitutional lib
critics of free speech and free as.
sembly against arguments of the
state that the prohibition of pick
citing is a proper use of police |
power.
The California case was brought
as a test of similar ordinances in
other counties of the state. Carlson
was convicted after carrying a BAN
ner in a picket line at Shasta
county tunnel project
PreSSman charged that the Shas
Ia county ordinance circumvented
nationa! policy of promoting col
lective bargaining and asked for a
specific ruling that picketing sis
an exercise of civil liberties"
