 Attorney J. Warren Upson, one of the counsels >or the plaintiff, argued today that the National Bank should have known the sigma ture was a forgery, since it has handled thousan<s of the doctors checks. He claimed the savings bank was negligent in issuing a check with no authorization.
 Attorney Upson charged that the withdrawal slip, which Brown pre- sented, called for cash, and that in- stead 8 check was issued. He also pointed out that Brown, without authority, had made notation that the sum should be paid to him, but that the bank did not follow the instructions on the slip and instead issued check payable to the phy- Sician.
 Question Withdrawal
 The plaintiffs lawyer claimed that the teller, who consulted with the chief teller about the withdrawal was suspicious of Brown, but none theless issued the check.
 The first closing argument fol the plaintiffs was given yesterday afternoon by Attorney William J Secor Arguments for the savings bank were presented yesterday by Attorney Morris Tyler.

 Report Filed
(Continued from Page 1)

Marshall responded. The assertion that evidence Of Japan's war intentions was available our days before the Pearl Harbor attack was contained in an hitherto suppressed 18-page report by an Army board which investigated the Pacific disaster last year.
 Denied Five Points
 The board charged-and Craner denied-these points:
 '1.-On November 24 it was learn ed that Nov. 29 had been fixed (Tokyo Time) as the governing date for Japanese offensive military operations.
 "2.-On November 26 there was received specific evidence of the Japanese intentions to wage offen- sive war against Great Britain and the United States. War Department G-2 dntelligence) advised the chiei of staff on November 26 that the Office of Naval Intelligence report ed the concentration of units of the Japanese fleet at an unknown port ready for offensive action.
 "3.-On December 1 definite in- formation came from three inde. pendent sources that Japan was go- ing to attack Great Britain and the United States but would maintain peace with Russia.
 "4.-The elimination of this com plete revelation of the Japanese in l tentions as to war and the attack came on December with informa' ton that Japanese were destroying their codes and code machines. This was constructed by G-2 as mean ing immediate war"
 "5.-Col. R. S. Bratton of Army Intelligence actually delivered tx several members of the Army Higt Command, and tried to deliver tt Marshall the night of Dec. 6 ane early Dec. 2, important intercept' indicating an imminent break II Japanese relations. He didn't reacf the chief of staff until about twt hours before bombs rained on Pear Harbor.
 Short War Informed
 Finally, the 18-page supplemen concluded that the mysterious winds" message by which Japar proposed to notify abroad of an! break in diplomatic relations actu ally was intercepted and translated Dec. 4, l94l.
 The Cramer memoranda based ol Clausen's investigation said that It Gen. Walter c. Short had informa ton at Hawaii that was not givei to the War Department. It sai' Short had information from whicl he could have inferred that Pear Harbor would be the attack targe in the event of war with Japan"
 Taking up the Army board state ments point t. point, the Crane 1 memoranda said:
 LA more detailed examination of this testimony (by Capt. L. F Stafford of Navy communication before Admiral Thomas c. Hart shows that it was in reality the in depreciation by Captain Stafford o a Japanese intercept me essag (which authorized Japanese envoy to extend the time for signing al agreement with the United State from Nov. to Nov. % and stated After that, thing are automatieal ly going to happen

 Sauckel was quoted as admitting in March. 1924. that of the 5000 900 foreign workers who had reached Germany at that time mot even 100000 came voluntarily
 Defending himself against charges of laxness in rounding up workers in western Germany. Sauckel was quoted as replying that he had "a whole batch of French male and female agents who for good pay just as in shanghai-ing, went hunt ing for men and made them drunk with liquor as well as words in order to dispatch them to Ger many"

so HITLER IS BACK!

That Joe GOebbels is reSOurcefu little gObbler,
even if his stuff lacks finesse a is weighted
down with the heavy touch which results fatally
in the end.
He claims he withdrew Hitler from circulation
to bring confusion to the Allies and brought him
back at the exact psychological m m e mt to
change that confusion into CONSERVATION.
If this is the explanation for the long but not
long enough Hitler retirement from public view,
it only tends to prove that the silly has hit
the Reich in her highest places.
The Goebbels idea was, he said, that specula-
ton about Hitler's strange disappearance would
convince the rest of the world of fatal weakness
in Germany which did not exist.
What, we wonder, could be more convincing of
this internal weakness than that Goebbes should
feel it necessary to resort to such stratagem?
Who could be as much confused by it as the
mass of the German people themselves?
And if CONSERVATION among the Allies was his
purpose-a stupid one fore-doomed to failure
why didn't Goebbels come forth with ndubitable
proof that the Hitler of recent memory fierce and
challenging, still was alive and at the helm in Ger
many?
The voice heard over the air at the new year
was said to have been calm but determined. None
his ability to be determined. But it would be
easy to calm his voice as to douse Vesuvius with
glass of chiant
Hitler may be, probably is, alive. But Goebbels
has yet to prove that der Fuehrer has anything
further to say how his country is to be run from
here on in to the end of the line

from the broad scope of his interests and investi-
cations.
He gives little evidence of having studied the
history of Ancient Greece.
Of course, he knows the Helenes had words for
democracy which are not much different from the
two Greek words we combine for the same gen.
eral purpose in slightly modified form.
And they gave us certain philosophical con-
cepts of government which they have not forgot
ten, even if some of their pupils have.
Democracy, in fashion, given its first
tryouts in the Greek City-States These small po-
litical units would feud among themselves when
they had no outside enemy to take care of. This
they did, probably to keep in training for the big
show.
When menacing stranger appeared at their
gates it didn't take them long to decide they
should all be fighting in the same corner.
Anyhow, that approximates what happened
when Churchill and Eden made their recent trip
to Athens.
