japanese Authorities
Are Pessimistic Over
Relations With U.S..
First Nipponese Vessel
Since July Soils for
America With 3O5
BY the Associated Press.

TOXIC, Oct. 15.-Authoritative
expressions of pessimism concerning
Japan's relations with the United
States were published today as en-
pire leaders continued a series of
conferences believed to be concerned
with matters of high Importance.
The privy council, highest advis-
ory body on foreign commitments,
met in the presence of Emperor
Hirohito. Later Marquis Koichi
KIDD, lord privy seal, held consulta-
tions at the palace with Premier
Prince Fumimaro Konoye and Lt.
Gen. Teiichi Suzuki, head of the
cabinet planning board. Secrecy
was maintained on the subject mat
ter of these discussions.
The Tatsuta Maru, first Japanese
vessel to sail for the United States
since last July, departed from Yoko-
hama today carrying, Domei news
agency said, Americans and 300
American-born Japanese.
approximately $50 of the latter
are expected to disembark in Homo
lulu, the agency declared.
The Tatsuta Maru will be followed
shortly by two other ships bound
for the United States.
Gloomy Views Put Forth.
Both Domei, which has close gov
ernment connections, and the in
fluential newspaper Asahi, put
forth gloomy views of the Japanese
American situation.
Domei quoted authoritative quar-
ters as saying the United States was
guilty of double dealing" and had
assumed a hostile attitude toward
Japan while conducting negotia-
tions looking toward an accord.
These negotiations (which Ameri-
cans have called purely "explor-
atory'D can hardly continue in such
a situation. said Domei's informants.
1T is doubtful whether the United
States is seriously endeavoring to
maintain peace in the Pacific" they
said. Japan is in danger of falling
into a trap set by America"
Talks Began 49 Days Ago.

the conversations began 49 days age
after Prince Konoye sent still un-
published message to President
Roosevelt.
Asahi said the United States has
failed to recognize the situation in
East Asia and that as long as II
tried to impose its will on the West
ern Pacific through economic and
military pressure it would be i'm
possible to break the present crisis
in the Pacific.

Fishermen Spurn
Rescue From
Rock in River

A Fire Department rescue squad
sped to Chain Bridge yesterday aft
ernoon to help some one marooned
on an island" but its offer of as
sistance was spurned. A police boat
of the harbor precinct also returned
to its station without performing
any service.
Firemen made their way thorugh
brush and over rocks to the
shrunken Potomac and found two
fishermen sitting on rock about 20
feet from shore and several hundred
yards north of the bridge. The an
glers said they definitely did not
want to be rescued. They explained
they had climbed onto the perch at
low tide and intended to continue
fishing until the water receded
again, at which time they would
climb down and go home.

Redskins Sell Banfa;
Recall Lee Gentry

The sale Of Jack Banta, feet half
back. to the Philadelphia Eagles was
announced this afternoon by the
Washington Redskins.
Transfer OF the former Southern
California star to Philadelphia came
as no surprise as it was hinted rather
strongly after his disappointing per-
formance against Pittsburgh last
Sunday. Club officials yesterday an
nounced the recall of Lee Gentry
from the Long Island Indians. who
had acquired him on option, and his
return meant that one Redskin had
to be dropped to make room for him.
The Skins roster now stands
at the league limit of 80 and no
more changes are Immediately con-
templated.
Banta, who played on two Rose
Bowl teams in his sophomore and
junior years at Southern California,
with the Redskins could not hit the
stride that had made him a stand
out college player. He was kept on
the bench until last Sundays game
which was do-or-die test.
With Philadelphia he may get
going and certainly will get an op-
portunity in the Eagles hard-pressed
backfield.

New Trial for 0den,
Convicted Of Murder;
Under Amusement
Counsel Says Youths
Constitutional Rights
FIoerontIy Violated

The question of a new trial for
Guy E. Oden, 19-year-old theater
usher, convicted of the flrst-degree
murder of his 15-year- old sweet
heart, Ellen Reid Cannon, was un-
der advisement today by Justice
Jesse c. Adkins.
Odens new counsel, James j.
Laughlin, contended that the young
man had not obtained a fair trial,
that errors we're committed and
that he was inexpertly represented.
Mr.. Laughlin pledged himself to
efforts to save Oden from the elec-
trio chair He declared that the
foreman of the jury that convicted
him seemed to take a delight in
announcing the guilty verdict in a
loud voice.
This young mans constitutional
rights have been f1agrantly vio-
lated" declared Mr.. Laughlin. Let
this man face a new jury and bring
out all the facts"
Assistant United States Attorney
bernard MargolluS, who prosecuted
the case, told Justice Adkins yes
terday afternoon that he does not
desire to be party to conspiracy
ito keep this boy in a death cell" )"
but insisted that he had been given
fair and impartial trial and was
legally represented in the case.
The prosecutor declared that there
might be mistakes in judgment in
the trial by the defense, but not in
competency, and he pointed out
that Oden acquiesced in everything
his trial counsel did. He said the
evidence was so strong that the
jury came back in three hours and
that Oden's own confession estab-
lished generalization. He secuted
the defense contention that a wom-
an spectators remark that Oden
was lying on the stand had preju-
diced the jurors, declaring that she
had already so testified on the wit
ness stand.
Six of the jurors nearest the
spectators testified Two said they
heard the remark but were not in
f1uenced by it.
