In the preceding four days, the

Film Pickets Return;
Writ Bars Tear Gas

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 6.-Armed
with a Superior Court injunction
to prevent Warner Bros. studio from
using tear gas or fire hose. 300 Con-
ference of Studio Union pickets ap-
peared this morning in front of the
main gate at the studio.
In the early hours no attempt had
been made by individuals or by
auto drivers to enter the studio
forcibly.
Nine of the strike leaders were
at liberty on bail today after the
riot that caused injuries to Is per-
sons
Violence started yesterday shortly
after mass picketing by members of
the CSU, who have been on strike
since March IL in an AFL union
jurisdictional dispute.
Herbert Sorrell, CSU president
and one of those arrested on charges
of rioting, declared the National La =
Dor Relations Board was mot giving
us fair deal and it is about time to
stop the stalling. We have decided
to get into the fight and end this
thing"
After the strike leaders were re-
leased from a Burbank Jail, STRAIT
egy meeting was convened to decide
on further action. Mr.. Sorrell de-
clared he didn't know whether
strong picket lines would be thrown
around Warmers or other studios.
Blayney Matthews, chief of police
at Warmers, said the studio would
fight it out, and if the pickets are
back today we'll meet 'em with the
same weapons" He said no con-
ciliation conference was planned.

cutor continued. "It is the policy
under which we have suffered for
four years"
Il have never been an agent of
the Germans" Laval interrupted.
AS Laval's trial went into its third
day, defense attorneys predicted the
former Vichy chief of government
would offer full discussion of his
negotiations with the Germans. They
said Laval might try to make these
points:
That Generalissimo Francisco
Franco asked Hitler for part OF
French Morocco for Spain, but was
refused because of Laval's meeting
with the Fuehrer the day before.
That the Armistice terms with
Germany-not the Montoire agree
ment-were responsible for the COL
laboration policy.
That Laval was ready to come to a
secret understanding with the Free
French authorities at Algiers after
the liberation of North Africa.
The three time Premier of France
scored several victories in yester-
days proceedings.
Refused to Postpone Trial.
The court admitted that Lavals
pre-trial examination was made
iquate, although it refused to post
pone the trial.
Even the prosecution declined to
contest his assertion that he could
not be singled out for responsibility
because both Houses voted con-
stituent powers to Petain July 10
1910.
The prosecution conceded that
Laval could not be held especially
responsible for the armistice with
Germany.
That prosecution admission fur
lnished the keystone on which Laval's
defense is built. He claims that the
armistice disarmed France and
committed her to refrain from any
military opposition to Germany
Thus, Laval says, he had no means
to deal with the Nazis other than
negotiations land it is those nego-
tiations which the prosessation
charges constituted the act OF in
ftelligence with the enemy.

SHANGHAI, Oct. 6.-World War
II, which spawned such ultramod-
ern weapons as the atomic bomb
and radar, ended with dramatic
naval battle-between sailing ves-
sells.
Two Allied junks, commanded by
1t. Livingston B. Swendel, won a
spectacular Commute engagement
with an 80-ton Japanese junk five
days after the Japanese had capitu-
lated.
1t. Swendel, whose wife, Bernice
lives in New York, gave the first
public account today of the battle
between the ancient windjammers.
| His junks, manned by eight Amer
leans and 80 Chinese, had been
heading for Shanghai for five days
when they encountered the jap
anese junk coming out from behind
sheltered island off the coastal
town of Haimen.

York naval officer said, with rs

Then We opened up, with our 30

plus a few tommyguns we had
aboard. The japanese were firing
with heavy machineguns, four light
ones and 80 rifles.

or three days, but could not say
whether any members of the re-
signed government of Premier Hi
gashi-Kuni would be invited to join.
Baron Shidehara, member of the
House of Peers, was born August II,
1872, at Osaka, the second son of
Shinjiro Shidehara. He studied law
at the influential Tokyo Imperial
University, from which he was grad
uated in 1895, and entered his ma
tion's consular service. He served in
the London consulate in 1899, and
in the following year in Antwerp.
In 1912 he became councillor in
the Embassy at Washington, return
ing to the London consulate in 1914.
In the same year he was made Min
ister to the Netherlands.
First High Post in 1915.
He won his first post in the Japa-
nese government in 1915, when he
was made vice minister for foreign
affairs. From 1919 to 1922 he served
as Ambassador to the United States.
He became japanese foreign min
lister in 1924, four years after he
had been made baron. Again in
929 he was made foreign minister
In 1880 he served as acting pre-
mier of Japan for a period, be-
ginning in November, after Premier
Yuko Hamaguchi was shot and
gravely wounded in the Tokyo Gen.
trail Railway Station by a nation
alist would-be assassin.
The international spotlight last
was turned on him late in 1881
after the japanese had struck in
Manchuria. Baron Shidehara had
opposed the use of force by the
Japanese in Manchuria, but after
the die was cast, it was his duty
to present his nations case to the
League of Nations.
China had appealed to the league
which appointed commission
headed by the Earl of Lytton, to
investigate the Manchurian Incl
dent. Meanwhile, during the hos
tilities in Manchuria, the league
made proposals for settlement
Baron Shidehara drew up the draft
OF Japan's counterproposals. .
Little was heard from Baron
Shidehara after that date. In
February, 1882, he was reported to
nave been seriously ill.

TOKYO, Oct. 6.-Enfeebled Baron
Kijuro Shidehara, who at 70 has
been summoned as Premier to lead
Japan through a turnabout from
feudalism to democracy, spoke out
strongly against Japanese military
aggression in its earliest stages.
For this he was forced into mil
itary retirement IA years ago. And
since then he has lived under con-
stant surveillance of the militarist-
dominated Japanese police.
Before the warmakers took over
Japan, Baron Shidehara had served
his country as Foreign Minister
twice and as Ambassador to Wash
ington, Ambassador to London and
interim Premier. He is considered
by well-informed japanese to be
fully conversant with Allied psy-
chology.
Baron Shidehara goes to work
with no instructions from his EN-
peror but to do his best. His SO
years OF government service were
concerned chiefly with the country's
relations abroad. Now he must di-
rect his efforts toward straighten-
ing out its domestic affairs along
lines laid down by Gen. Macarthur
The precisely immaculate diplo-
mat was named foreign minister for
the first time in 1924 and again in
1929. Shortly afterward he broke
with the government as it became
dominated by the militarists. He
was created baron in 1920.
Told to Do Best"
His sole political position during
his retirement was membership in
the House of Peers, but he chose to
remain inactive in the post rather
than oppose the war-makers.
Interviewed in the Foreign Min
ister's official residence, where he
will maintain temporary headauar-
tiers, Baron Shidehara said the EN-
peror merely told me to do my best
to form new cabinet. The inter-
view was brief. assured him ]
would do my best"
This is entirely new to me and ]
hope you won't press me for definite
statements on policies because,

them over yet" he added.

''In regard to conditions at Belsen,
