Mr.. Rogge then asked if Smythe's
attorney, Mr.. Laughlin, had heard
from the missing defendant. Mr..
Laughlin said that in view of "cer-
tain statements" which Mr.. Rogge
made yesterday, "since he has used
the tactics he has" 1t was necessary
to reply.
Mr.. Laughlin said Smythe came to
him in the early part of February
with a man described as represent
ing the Protestant Veterans Asso-
citation. An arrangement was made
for Mr.. Laughlin to defend Smythe,
the attorney said, and, though this
was not carried out and no fee ever
was paid. he had done his best for
Smythe.

LONDON, April 18.-Britain
today banned trips outside this
country by diplomats of all neu-
tral and Allied nations except
the United States, Russia and
the British Commonwealth, and
made all their communications
subject to full censorship.
The action, latest in a series of
steps to safeguard invasion infor-
nation, was without precedent, but
the Foreign Office announced that
military operations impending in
the present year" made it inevitable.
Washington and Moscow were con-
suited in the move.
The order, in effect, immobilized
the diplomats and their stats, in
Guiding air, military and naval at
taches, within Britain's shores for
the time being. None may go home.
Diplomatic pouches, heretofore in
violate, now will be opened and all
their contents put through the CEN
sorship mill. Not even in the World
War was such action taken. Coded
kilograms are banned.
The regulations went into effect at
midnight and will remain in force
until further notice.
"Any inadvertent disclosure of in
formation which resulted in helping
the enemy or in unnecessary loss of
British or Allied lives might have
such serious effects, not only upon
the course of these Gnvasion) op-
erations - that the government
has reluctantly felt bound to adopt
this unusual security measure" the
Foreign Office said. aS
These restrictions will, of course,
be removed at the earliest possible
moment consistent with the require
ments of security. ."
A spokesman explained that such
allies as China, Brazil and others
were made subject to the order be-
cause they are not Immediately
concerned with establishment of
the western front.
Previous Allied steps to keep in
vasion information from leaking to
the enemy included banning visitors
from an area 10 miles deep and
TOO miles long on England's south
ern and eastern coasts, suspension
of all except the most vital travel
between England and Ireland, pro-
hibition of all news concerning con-
voy arrivals and suspension of air.
mail between Britain and neutral
countries.
"a Bern broadcast recorded last
night by CHS quoted German
military circles as saying the in
vasion will not be long delayed"
A German transmission heard by
the United States Broadcast In
telligence Service suggested lee
way of six weeks)
The ban on the departure of
diplomats from Britain affected all
neutral ambassadors and ministers
as well as the lesser members of
their staffs.
Although no mention of civilian
travel was made in the new order,
it was obvious that civilians would
not be permitted to depart foi neu-
trail countries except under unusual
circumstances. Civilian communi-
cations already are tightly censored.
The British press applauded the
governments action while empha-
sizing that it was no reflection on
the diplomats themselves.

three letters from Smythe several
weeks ago and heard nothing fur
ther until last week. In this letter,
Mr.. Laughlin added, Smythe said he
was at loss to know what to do,
declaring he had prepared no de-
fense."
Smythe, in the letter which Mr..
Laughlin read, said he wanted a
number of witnesses from all over
the United States.
Smythe then wrote that he would
like to have Justice Eicher removed
from the case.
Smythe added that he would be

Mr.. Laughlin read his reply in
which he first warned Smythe the
trial had been set for April II.
The attorney, in his letter, dis
agreed with Smythe's attitude to-
ward the presiding judge, defending
Justice Eicher as entirely fair and
adding that he would not be party
to any proceeding designed to dis
qualify the jurist
Mr.. Laughlin brought out that
Smythe had written Justice Eicher
that he did not feel he was repre-
sented by counsel. Justice Eicher
said he had instructed his secretary
to inform Mr.. Laughlin of this letter
The Smythe incident was not pur-
[sued further at that time. Defense
attorneys were on their feet with
various motions.
An artist for the newspaper PM,
who was warned yesterday that JUS
tice Eicher would not allow sketches
to be made during court sessions,
was elected today and several draw
ings which he was said to have made
secretly were confiscated by Chief
Deputy Marshal Michael Kearney.

Auto Industry Seeks
Shift 10 Peace Output
When Axis Cracks
BY JAMES Y. NEWTON,

The automobile industry will seek
Government permission to shift war
production away from main plants
on the collapse of either Germany
or Japan, after which, it was indi-
Gated today, new passenger cars will
begin to roll from their assembly
lines in a matter of months.
An industry official said that as
sizable cutbacks in war contracts
are made the automobile makers will
ask to be allowed to transfer enough
war work from the main plants to
clear them for civilian production
He added that this could be done
either through subcontracting or
shifts to branch plants of the same
companies.
A one-day session yesterday of
the new Automobile Industry ADJ
visory Committee and War Produc-
tion Board officials ended with the
heads of the nine prewar manufac-
turers of cars returning to their
plants to prepare data as to their
needs for returning to peacetime
production. -.s
Asked to Survey Needs.
The manufacturers were asked by
WPB to survey their material needs
for both a practical minimum" Of
car production and complete recon-
version. 1t was believed that "prac-
tical minimum" production will be
started on the conclusion of either
the war in Europe or in the Pacific.
The industrialists held that a re-
turn to car making would not be
practicable unless the industry is
allowed to build minimum of g.
000,0 900 new cars, somewhat less
than the 100000 turned out in
1941, the last full year of automobile
production.
The manufacturers will prepare
complete lists of their needs and
return to Washington in go or 80
days" for another meeting with
WPB.
Only about Is to Is per cent of
the war machine tools now in the
plants would be usable for car pro-
duction, an industry official said.
The manufacturers want the Gov
ernment to draft plans for moving
out the remaining tools and also
to evaluate the tools and plants
which the industry will want to buy
from the Government.
Agree on Two Points.
The car manufacturers were in
complete agreement on two major
points: No manufacturer should be
allowed to return to car production
until all the prewar makers are
ready, and manufacture should not
be started until the Government can
assure materials, manpower and fa-
cilities for making an initial order"
OF at least 100000. Less than that
number would be warranted only If
transportation was threatened with
breakdown because of lack of cars.
Surveys show this not to be the case
at present.
Some disagreement arose over the
quotas to be set for each manufac-
turer when the "go" sign is given for
first production. It was held likely
each manufacturer initially will be
given a percentage of his 1941 pro-
duction.
Some unemployment, it was said,
might hit the industry before this
year is out. The manufacturers be-
lieve they can take up some of the
employment slack developing when
their war contracts are cut back by
making large number of parts for
cars now on the road. This would
have the effect Of at least partly It'd
ing over the industry until factories
begin to roll out new cars.
