BY the Associated Press.
Senator Connally, Democrat. OF
Texas expressed the opinion today
that Senate Elections Committee
investigators of charges against
Senator LANCER Republican. OF
North Dakota, had gone TO North
Dakota lat the start with the idea
that we've got to get somebody"
Senator Connolly, member OF
the committee. made the comment
during committee hearings on Mr..
Langer's fitness to hold Office, when
o. r. MCGUIRE, an attorney for
North Dakota group seeking to un-
seat Mr.. LANCER. was cross-exam-
lining the accused Senator.
Mr.. Mcclure asked the committee
to give attention TO testimony taken
in the field by the investigators, but
Senator Connally protested that this
was lex parte stuff" and that if it
were relevant the witness should be
called in person and subjected to
cross-eXamination.
Chairman Hatch told Senator
Connally, however. that it had been
agreed at the start of the hearings
that all the testimony taken by the
Investigators could be considered as
being before the committee.
1894 Trial Recalled.
Mr. Mcclure questioned Mr. Lam
ger about his 1884 trial on a charge
of conspiracy TO obstruct the orderly
operation of an act Of Congress, in
which he said he was convicted by
"hand-picked' jury and 'preju-
diced" judge. He later was ac-
quilted.
Mr.. LANCER acknowledged that a
Democrat and a Republican par
ticipated in the drawing of the jury
panel for the trial, but contended
that in North Dakota there were
"only two parties-one is LANCER
and the other anti-Langer"
Both men who drew the panel,
he asserted, were "anti-Langer. f"
although technically of opposite po-
litical persuasion.
Senator LANCER yesterday COM
pleted three days of testimony be-
fore the committee, in which he re-
piled TO 81 specific allegations
brought by the petitioners.
Paid S6O455 for Land.
He testified that he paid a total
of s60,455 for land and improve
ments which Gregory Brunk of DeS
Moines testified he bought from Mr..
LANCER for s568O0 on a "sight-un-
seen" basis in 1879
At the same time Mr.. LANCER de-
MED having any connection with the
purchase or sale of North Dakota
county bonds in 1887 and 1888 by
the V. w. Brewer Co. profits of
which were shared by Mr.. Brunk.
Mr.. Brunk testified last week that
he bought the land from Mr.. LANCER
without making any investigation as
to its worth and that one reason he
did so was because he strongly be-
lieved Mr.. LANCER had been "perse-
cuted."
Appraisers for the committee esti-
mated the fair cash market value of
equities in land and mortgages pur-
chased from Mr.. LANCER by Mr..
Brunk at less than $4,000.

kurUsu Reaches Honolulu;
Guards Mission Details

HONOLULU, Nov. 13 (Pl.-Saburo
kurusu, japanese diplomat chosen
to attempt to break the impaSSe
in Japanese-American relations at
Washington, arrived late yesterday
on the China Clipper from Midway
Island
The special envoy left Japan on
20 hours notice last week and flew
to Hong Kong, where he boarded
the clipper November 7 for his dra-
matte trans-Pacific flight. He was
delayed two days at Midway, Pan
American Airways base 1900 miles
northwest Of Honolulu, While motor
repairs were made to the clipper.
Details of Mission Guarded.
kurusu told neWSpapermen he was
on very important and difficult
mission, the details of which must
await his arrival in Washington.
The envoy, who was vice consul
In Honolulu 80 years ago, said his
experience then convinced him it
was the common responsibility of
the United States and Japan to
maintain peace in the Pacific. He
said his mission at Washington
would be confined to japanese and
United States relations.
When told of Prime Minister
Churchill's statement that Great
Britain would range herself along
side the United States Immediately
If the United States and Japan
should become involved in war, Ku-
rusu laughed and said "he might
just as well have said he would
have breakfast tomorrow morning" 3"
Had Rest at Midway.
KuruSu said he had a good two
day rest at Midway. When asked
whether he had toured the island
he responded laughingly, NO, I be-
haved myself"
Regulations do not permit pas
sengers other than those with Army.
Navy or other Federal connections
to leave the Pan American area on
the island. Curtains also are drawn
on clipper planes when they land
and take off so that the passengers
cannot obtain birdseye view of
the small but strategic island which
Is being developed by the Navy.

japanese Government
Prepares for Crisis
Il j. ). Talks Fail
Emergency Legislation
Is Made Reody for
Special Diet Session
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC, Nov. 13.-New emergency
legislation was made ready today
for a special session of the Japanese
Diet amid indications that the gov
ernment was preparing for a crisis
should negotiations with the United
States collapse.
Premier Gen. Hideki TOTO. Foreign
Minister Shigenori Togo and Finance
Minister Okinobu Kaya were re-
Ceived by the Emperor, to whom
they submitted the speeches they
will make to the Diet and the new
laws they will introduce at the ses-
sions starting Saturday.
Among the new laws is a new tax
program which would increase and
in some cases double indirect taxes
on what are regarded as luXuries.
The cabinet approved the program
at an extraordinary session earlier
today.
Sudden revival of the Imperial
Fascist like organization begun by
former Premier Prince Fumimaro
Konoye. and growing concern over
air defenSes indicated the new
atmosphere.
The Importance of national unity
in Japan in the current Pacific crisis
was stressed by 1t. Gen. Klsaburo
Ando, vice president of the Imperial
Rule Assistance Association, in an
address before branch of the Or
ganiZatlOn.
The association is being revived
as a political force under the ad-
minLStration of Premier TOTO.
The members spent a large part
of the day discussing proposals for
reorganization of Tokio's airs de-
fenses on the basis of lessons learned
in recent nationwide air raid drills.
Domei said special attention was
paid to plans for issuing instructions
to the public in event of emergency.
Press Campaign Continues.
japanese newspapers continued to
make Stinging comments on United
States Navy Secretary KnoX's
ArmiStice Day speech in which he
said Washington had been long
suffering and patient" toward Japan
and that further forbearance might
be misunderstood.
Nichi Nichi said United States
leaders are talking so Irresponsible

Unions Inexperience

American Labor Leaders
And Employers Scored

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Nov. 13.-A prediction
that the United States labor situa-
tion may be leading up to a general
strike simply due to inexperience of
trade union leaders" was put for
ward today in the opening of parlia-
mentary debate on British war
policy.
That possibility was pointed out
by Austin Hopkinson, Independent,
in support of his statement that
despite the United States contribu-
ton. Britains enemy has a greater
production and uses that capacity
very much better than we do"
Mr.. Hopkinson said lit is all very
we'll to point to the United States,
but people don't realize in this coun-
try what the industry of the United
States is going through in the pres
ent generation"
Unions Finding Feet"
This came in House of Commons
debate on the reply to King George
Wis message opening a new session
of Parliament yesterday. Prime
Minister Churchill spoke for the
government yesterday.
Trade unionism in the United
States is going through the stages
that trade unionism in this country
did a generation ago." Hopkinson
said. 1T is finding its feet. 1t has
increased at tremendous pace and
hasn't got the experience that Brit
ish trade unionism has got. The re-
suit may be leading up to a general
strike simply due to the inexperience
Of trade union leaders"
When Laborite James Grif11ths
interjected the phrase. land en-
ployers." at this point Mr.. Hopkin-
son added:
Il agree that employers in Amer
lea on the whole have the most
primitive ideas. There are excep-
tions."
Following precedents of the last
two sessions and of the last war,
Prime Minister Churchill had an
nounced that the members right to
criticize the government would not
be impaired.
Laborite Emanuel Shinwell, a per-
sistent critic of the government, de-
manded to know whether defense of
empire possessions in the East was
the Churchill cabinets notion Of a
second war front and II 50 whether
the plan met with approval of the
Russian government.
Thanks Given to Stain.
Grifflths was cheered when he
said Adolf Hitler's gang" had been
disillusioned in belief-which Mr..
Churchill said yesterday he had
learned from Rudolf Hess-that
the people of this country are pre-
pared to make a deal because We
are on the verge of starvation"
He was cheered again when. re-
ferring to Joseph Stalin's recent
statement that Hess had offered a
German alliance with Britain
against Russia, he added:
Our thanks are due to the Brit
ish government that they -" spoke
the mind of the people of this coun-
try when Russia was attacked. We
are not so morally and spiritually
starved that We were prepared to
doublecross any one"
Conservative William Num- asked
amplification of Mr.. Churchill's s
Monday declaration Of support for
the United States against Japan and
added:
If the government could make
the definite declaration that further
aggression by Japan would mean
instant attack think there would be
no aggression at all"

Anti-Sabotage Force
Set Up for Factories
By War Department
Control of Visitors
And Fire Huzurds to Get
Special Attention

The War Department has set up
an organization to guard against
accidental or intentional destruction
in factories that would interrupt
production of national defense ma
terialS.
The new Setup will be known as
the plant protection inspection serv-
ice and will operate in the Army's
81 procurement districts for the pro-
lection of some $4,000 factories en-
gagged in producing defense orders.
Particular emphasis will be put
on sabotage and the control of fire
hazards.
A statement said that in addition
to providing adequate protection
against fires, the service will cover
Identification of employees and con-
troll of visitors so that no unau-
thorized person can trespass on plant
property Many of the larger plants
will provide their own organized
guard forces under proper super
vision.
Due to the VaStneSS Of the de-
Tense program, the War Depart
ment said that primary responsible
ity in plant protection must fall
on the management and local police
and fire departments.
