 Keitel Becomes Tool
 'In my time" Blomberg said, Keitel was not opposed to Hitler and therefore was qualified to bring about 8 good understanding between Hitler and the armed forces. To have done the opposite would have led to civil war for at that time the mass of the German people supported Hitler.
 Many no longer are willing to admit this but 1t is the truth"
 Blomberg said he had never heard of Keitel opposing any of Hitler's measures.
 "He became a willing tool in Hit ler's hands for every one of his decisions" Blomberg said. 'rae grew into a job he was not capable of."

 To Llberalixe Election
 MacArthur's directiveS will have a hberalizlng influence on the ap- preaching Diet election. By banning members of the forbidden organiza- tIonS from office, they will give the more democratic but less organized elements of Japan a betetr oppor- tunity to win parliamentary seats.
 MacArthur,s directiveS were his first big policy statements since the Big Three Foreign Ministers Confer ence at Moscow, which established a Far Eastern Commission to help formulate occupation policy. The commission has not yet begun to function.
 A headquarters spokesman said the directiveS were based on the Big Three PotsdaIn Conference communique of last July. The Pots- dam document said, There must be eliminated for all time the au- thority and influence of those who have deceived and misled the people Of Japan into embarking on world conquest"
 UndeslrabIes Eliminated
 '-rhese directives will eliminate the most undesirable elements of the Japanese government" the spokesman said. The directives or- dered that the government give priority to removal of officials in high positions.
 Besides dissolving the old ultra nationalist organizations, the dir- ectives prohibited formation of new organizations, fostering resistance to the Allied occupation, terrorism militarism, Japanese leadership of Asiatics, or exclusion of foreigners from trade and commerce.

 Inspection

(Continued from Page D receipts and disbursements, of books on personal and real property, and of books showing receipts and dis. bursements of both companies.
 The plaintiff sought financial statements of operations and capital of both manufacturing concerns.
 In the motion for disclosure of facts, 24 questions were raised on Kiessling's earnings, his income from stocks, the value of stocks, on gross business of the companies in terms of dollars, on net profiis, and on the defendants property hold- ings.
 Judge Pallotti commented during the hearing that he thought coun- Sel would be able to agree to anS- wering of many of the queries, but he added he thought the informa- ton should be tied down to the one person. He said that if informa. ton was ordered on company bus inesS to be used in connection with one person, business would be rUin- ed.
 Attorney Upson had argued dur ing the hearing that rights of other stockholders of the two companies would be involved if opening of the books to public examination were permitted.
 Attorney Cassidy charged that Kiessling had once challenged the authority of the court with shot gun" and that he was challenging 1t now to compel him to furnish any information.
 Refers to Incident The plaintiffs attorney referred to an incident in Woodbury several months ago when @ sheriff went to serve a subpoena on a caretaker on the Kiessling farm. The officer was met by this defendant with load- ed shotgun" Cassidy commented, adding that Kiessling also had or dered the sheriff to remain oil corI1- pany property.
 Attorney Cassidy presented mo- ton for default and stated a de- fault should be entered and the de- fendant then should purge himself of 1t by answering the questions in the motion for disclosure.
 The plaintiffs lawyer said Kiess- ling claims his annual earnings are only $l0,O00 and that the records would prove that claim.
