S. and Japan Will Be Amicable Tokyo, Jan. 23.—(7)}—An anti-mili- terist tenor marked the first inter- pellation in Japan’s imperial diet when members of the ca- * binet completed their statements of policy and declared questioning in order, Tt was a spirit in tune with the * plea for peace and “understanding” voiced by Foreign Minister “oki ‘Hirota, upon whom greatest atten- tion was focussed as the diet was re- Count Yoshinori Futaara opened by criticizing the government for permitting publication of inflamatory articles and predictions of war, with- © out specifically mentioning a recent magazine interview with Vice Ad- widely publicized in the United States. ‘There was a chorus of guarded ministerial a \4 Qn an interview published in the - magazine Gendai, Admiral Suetsugu, commander of the navy’s combined fleets, was quoted as warning that Japan must prepare to defend her- self against America’s policy of hostilely encircling Japan by every possible means.”) Groundwork for this anti-militar- ist expression was laid earlier Tues- day in the pronouncement of Foreign Minister Kiki Hirota on the empire's delicate relations with Soviet Rus- sia and China and improving con- tacts between Japan and the United States. “No question” exists between Ja- pan and the United States, Hirota told the diet, “that is intrinsicaliy difficult of solution... .. I am con- fident that the United States will not fail to appraise correctly Japan's Position in East Asia.” Hirota was hopeful of an early set- tlement of Russo-Japanese differ- ences, although he bitterly assailed what he called Russia’s “unwarrant- ed criticisms.” 1" Weather Report | FORECAST For Bismarck and vicinity: Un- settled tonight ee ee fednesday ht with severe wave.

K, mig Ne CONTINUE from page one’ b Wenzel Arguments Heard by Governor in itself may not be grounds for re- moval, but that such an act on the part of Wenzel, coupled with “a piling up of other things” made the commis- sioner unfit for office. He stressed a bond transaction in which short-term bonds held by the compensation bureau were exchanged for long-term bonds, declaring the record of the transaction was. im- “You don’t claim he (Wenzel) got any money out of that?” Langer ask- ed. “No,” Verret replied. “We don't claim any crime in office, but he showed very poor judgment.” Verret, in summarizing the case, declared testimony indicated Wenzel sought contributions for financing the referendum, that this and his con- duct toward employes and the bond transaction are causes for removal, Raps Work for Lawyers Ellsworth followed, devoting much of his argument to Wenzel’s activities as secretary of the State Bar associa- tion, which he said constitutes “most solid and substantial grounds for re- moval.” He charged Wenzel devoted @ total of 10 weeks of the year to bar association duties. Ellsworth referred to Wenzel’s use of the floor polisher, which he said the commissioner kept for 3% years, and “returned it surreptitiously with- in a week of the time these proceed- ings began.” “That wasaclear case of embezzle- ment,” he added. “There was crime in office.” He charged further that the secre- tary of the minimum wage depart- ment, under the compensation bureau, was employed without proper resolu- tion, and that later there was “a de- berate falsification” of records to show the employment had been voted. Shafer opened his arguments with the contention that the 1931 legisia- ture repealed the power of the gover- nor to remove the workmen's compen- sation commissioner for cause. He discussed each charge in the complaint, declaring considerable of the evidence taken at the hearing was on matters not charged in the com- plaint. In the bond transactions, he said, ttie intent of the law was “absolutely complied with,” and made after ob- taining the attorney general's opin- jon. Repaired at Own Expense Shafer referred to the floor polisher incident, explaining Wenzel took it tc his home, repaired it at his own expense and forgot about it, but re- turned the polisher when he heard “somebody is looking for something ‘or him.” He pointed out the polisher was not being used by the compensa- ¥|tton bureau janitor. Statements to the press about the *ondition of workmen’s compensation funds, Shafer said, were beneficial, rather than harmful. These statements usually called to the attention of employers that un- esday | less the alarming increase in accidents was reduced, the rates would be in- creased, Shafer said. He termed the statements educational matter. Shafer denied there had been any falsification of record in employment of a minimum wage secretary, de- claring the motion apparently was lost but inserted later. He said there was no effort to conceal employment of the secretary. Regarding Wenzel’s duties as bar association secretary, Shafer told how Former Gov. R. A. Nestos assured Wenzel at the time of his appointment he could continue those duties, and that during the 10 years the commis- sioner has served the compensation bureau no governor ever had objected or served notice on him to discontinue such work, including the present gov- ernor, Is Industrious Worker Shafer termed Wenzel as especially industrious, and a man who disposed of large volumes of work rapidly. He told how Wenzel did actuarial work for the bureau, work that had been done previously by a paid actuary. He characterized the charges as “highly technical,” declaring the state . | has had to resort to “far-fetched con- structions.” ‘While Verret was giving rebuttal ar- guments, Langer expressed interest in the bond transactions and Shafer to provide additional detail. “I cannot see,” Langer said, “where the other two men on the bureau are not as responsible. Why pick him (Wenzel) out alone?” E SBSSBSsSehSRs_: Sout a reeUsressvenSNSRESESYERSRSS SShSSe SeeleeussnvekesseesseRse33 58 54 32 4a 56 “a 6 60 28 48 52 0 32 60 54 40 38 40 56 34 52 62 4 4 “4 o 58 5 4 rt 4 a 52 32 4 52 28 58 2 UR i i NOTICE TO CREDITORS In the Matter of the Estate of Gil- bert N, Haugen, Deceased.

Knowing when to stop and how to make the contract! is just as important as bidding Leal game, Today’s problem is a hand selected | from a recent duplicate tournament | in Cleveland. South does not have the necessary strength to make a first hand open- | ing bid. As third hand can open! with a weaker holding than first or second, North is justified in his orig- inal bid of one diamond.

The most interesting, however, is as follows: ‘West opens the ten of clubs, which {s won with the ace in dummy, The eight of hearts is returned and East goes up with the ace. He returns a ‘lub, which West wins with the king. A small club is returned, which South trumps with the six of hearts. South now leads the king of hearts, | discarding a diamond from dummy. East plays the trey. As East had gone up with the ace on the first trick, this practically marks him with the queen, and probably ten of hearts. Declarer then plays his king, queen, }and seven of spades, winning the third spade in dummy. The ten of spades is returned and East is helpless, He can win but two more tricks, If he trumps with the ten of hearts, declarer will overtrump with the jack of hearts and then will lose a heart and a diamond, thus making one over trick, It East makes the mistake of ‘rumping with the queen of hearts, South will discard his losing diamond and make two overtricks, (Copyright, 1934, NEA Service, Inc.)

TUESDAY, JANUARY 23, 1934 NYE SAYS JOBRSON ABANDONED TRUTH INRA STATEMENT North Dakota Senator Denies Refusal to Cooperate in Program Washington, Jan. 23.—(?)—While Hugh 8S. Johnson was talking over the situation at the White House Monday, Senator Nye (Rep., N. D.), charged the industrial administrator had made statements that deviated from the straight line of truth. Nye's speech was in part in reiter- ation of previous claims that NRA codes were oppressing small business, but the North Dakota senator also took exception to assertions by John- son that he and Senator Borah (Rep., Ida.), had refused to cooperate in working out NRA problems. Nye denied he had declined John- ‘son's request to serve with a board to hear complaints about NRA from small business men, and said state- ments to that effect in the industrial administrator’s New York speech last week “constituted @ departure from the actual truth.” The claim by Nye and Borah that NRA was letting big concerns crush their smaller brethren precipitated the verbal duel between them and Johnson, Subject of Conference The charges were a theme of the conference Tuesday between the | plain-spoken Johnson and the presi- |dent. Afterward, Johnson said he hoped things could be set right with- ;Out additional legislation. Senator Borah has pending an jamendment to the national industrial recovery act which would restore anti- , trust law exemptions permitted under | NRA codes. Nye’s speech was directed, not at | the industrial recovery act which set) up NRA, but at “their administra- tion.” “Big business,” he said, “is in the saddle by veason of NRA codes, more than it has ever been before.” A case in point, Nye said, was the cede for the electrical manufacturers. He asserted that the General Elec- tric Co. shaped the code to suit its ends; that it was administering it; that hearings on charges by the inde- pendents previously had been post- poned and “lo and behold! Now I hear that the hearing has been post- boned until Feb. 8.” r A ‘Pirate Organization’ Reciting what he said was the un- savory past of the General Electric, Nye charged it was a “pirate organ- iation” and -that in view of NRA's attitude, he did not see why it did not recall Samuel Insull, Sr., to write the pending utilities code. President Roosevelt last Saturday issued an order that complaints by small business men regarding NRA. could be handled by the federal trade commission and the justice depart- ment, ; Nye said smaller interests already nad had such privileges and that the \order simply called attention to their \rights, Asked Tuesday what he thought of ihe president's order, Johnson replied: | “Well, I wrote it.” { ——oOOOOOD 6 , Around the World | Singapore — naval leaders assembled in strictest secrecy to de- termine the empire's policy in the Far East.
