a. VioIoted His Rights

soiJustice r. Alan Goldsborough re-
fused in District Court today to in
validate an indictment charging
violation OF the Foreign Agents Reg
istration Act by Frederick Vincent
Williams, San Francisco newspaper
man.
The jurist commented that 1t
would be simply ridiculous" to hold
that Mr.. Williams, a man of educa-
ton and wide experience, did not
know his constitutional rights when
he appeared before q San Francisco
Federal grand jury.
The Judge directed that the trial
of Mr.. williams and David Warren
Ryder, former publisher Of Far
Eastern Affairs" proceed this after
noon.
Refused 10 Sign Waiver.
Mr.. williams testified that he had
refused to sign a written waiver of
immunity from prosecution after
Government counsel had advised
him Of his constitutional rights that
he need not answer questions if they
would tend to incriminate him.
He said he had not known that
he was under investigation. He had
been asked about his knowledge OF
Mr.. Ryder and another defendant,
Ralph Townsend, former writer for
Scribner's Commentator, who has
pleaded guilty under the same in
dictment, which names three Ameri-
cans and three Japanese.
Propaganda Charged.
E Mr.. Williams told Justice Colds
borough that when the trend of
questions indicated that he himself
eas under investigation he refused
to testify further. He said he had
Registered with the State Depart
nent here as the agent OF foreign
principal.
The Government charges that Mr..
williams, under the guise of being
b correspondent for the Japan Times
and Mail. distributed Japanese
propaganda in the United States
and, with his fellow conspirators,
attempted to present Japan in a
favorable and China in an un-
favorable light.
Cross-examined by Albert B.
Arents, special assistant to the At
torney General, Mr.. Williams con-
ceded that he was instructed before
the San Francisco grand jury that
he did not have to answer questions.

later, he was called to the telephone.
Immediately all business, the gen.
eral gave a couple of curt orders
and went out.
We had learned enough to know
that nobody around here was worry
ing about anything except worrying
the Germans to death and that the
generals guard division was obvi-
ously contributing its full share to
that end. The brigade commissar,
a big, quiet spoken man, turned on
the radio and the tilt of ''The Blue
Danube" waltz filled the dugout
That's international-not Nazi, =
smiled the commissar. After a while
he went out, urging us to catch
little sleep.
I knew I couldn't sleep, but
stretched out on bench with ar
arm over my eyes. We hadn't hae
much sleep for seven nights, now

Russian soldiers said: "Our Job Is
clear. We must kill the German
soldiers. Because If we kill enough
soldiers, then Hitler will have to kill
his generals" That idea tickled
the Georgian general no end.
Before leaving, the general
thought we ought to have another
vodka, for this was sharply cold
night for a ride in an open jeep.
But I thought I'd had my quota
of vodka for one evening.
"All right" laughed the general,
pouring himself three times as much
as he had poured into my glass.
Since we Russians are doing most
of the fighting, I'll drink most OF
the vodka"
The Georgians, I gather, always
get in the last word.
So we rode back to Gen. Lel-
shenko's remarkably comfortable

Asks About Second Front.
OF course, we had scarcely drained
our glasses when the Georgian gen.
eral trained his guns on me. He
had plenty on his mind that he had
been wanting for long time to un-
load on American ears-what about
the second front? Then he added:
II esteem the American people
Please know that. But there's
something indecisive about the
American attitude that don't like.
You Americans have great technical
ability. We've always admired you
for it. But as the worlds most ad-
vanced industrial power, what ex-
cuse can you make for not being

The general grabbed my shoulder
in one huge paw.
II see you understand" he said,
and refilled the vodka glasses again.
We had an excellent Russian kind

wine by the light of tiny electric

The general rubbed his hands and
called for the vodka. AS in every
