NEWSMAN, LAWYER CLASH

The session was enlivened by an
alteration between Garfield A.
Nichols, a defense attorney. and
a newspaperman. The dispute
arose when both wanted to look
at a document entered in evidence.
Special Prosecutor Chester p.
IO'Hara told Nichols he could see
it when the reporter was through
with it.
HE won't know what he's
reading, and II he did his paper
would print It all wrong" said
Nichols.
This led to an invitation to
Nichols to go out into the corridor
and fight it out. Nichols refused,
temporarily, on the ground that
he would be in contempt of court
and besides he was busy defending
other people.
Verellen was preceded on the
stand by his predecessor as chief
of the River Rouge police depart
ment, Ellsworth Hanlon. He added
little to his testimony yesterday
that he began collecting graft for
the former mayor of the suburb,

To Fuehrer,
Says Berlin
BY PIERRE j. HUSS


BERLIN, March Germany
rushed today to strengthen her
grip on the Balkans and protect
the Rumanian oil fields against
possible British bombing attacks.
At the same time preparations
were made to bring new pressure
upon Greece-and German officials
remained convinced that Turkey
has been persuaded to keep out
of the war.
An official announcement said
Rumanian Premier Antonescu
arrived at Vienna this morning
and conferred with Reich Marshal
Goering, chief of the German air
force.
Antonescu arrived in Vienna
only a short time after Britain
severed diplomatic relations with
Bulgaria.
SEE EDEN FOILED
It was stated that Goering and
Antonescu canvassed relating Geo.
nomic matters as well as purely
military considerations.
So confident were German
quarters that Chancellor Hitler
has persuaded Turkey to keep out
of the war that they declared the
fuehrer has already knocked
down the props" British Foreign
Secretary Eden set up in Ankara
before he left there for Athens.
They declared Hitler accom-
plished this by giving Turkey
assurances calculated to dispel
Turkish fears of a German inva-
sion"
Newspapers in Turkey this
morning published scornful COM
ments on guarantees. The An
kara radio, in a broadcast to
Yugosiavia, warned:
you might rs wen be dead
as join the Axis.")
NEUTRALITY SOUGHT
At the same time, it was stated
Hitler requested unirnpaired Turk
ish neutrality as basis for con-
tinued good relations between
Ankara and Berlin.
These assurances, il was indi-
Gated. were the main points OF
the special message sent to Turk
ish President Ismet Inonu by Hit
Ter yesterday.
Latest information in Berlin in
dictated the Turkish government
is still considering its formal reply
to Hitler, but no doubt existed in
Berlin that the Turkish choice will
be in favor of neutrality and
peace.

CONTRACT UPHELD
But the war department made IL
plain that it had lost patience
with unionists who struck at
Wright Field because a New York
firm doing $36, 800 worth of work
at the army air base employs
some CIO members.

Some are taking up positions for

One report told of columns 100

At the time the occupation was
formally announced on Saturday,
il was estimated that Germany
