defense. ■’ Orelle was captured and his 2’ year old brother Clarence wag shot to death by a posse near Do Seim 111., the day after state trooper Rdy Dixon w:is fatally wounded near La Porte. The state earlier yesterday called state prison physician Dr. P. H Weeks as a rebuttal witness to testimony by Orelle's mother, Mrs, Martha Easton. He declared he had examined the defendant and depo sit ions of defense witnesses and found hint to be sane. The depositions had testified that Orelle had an unbalanced mind. Weeks’ opinion was stricken from the record however, when the defense objected on grounds that parts of the deposition had been omitted when they were read. The court was expected to adjourn after the Doctor’s testimony Attorneys then will prepare closing argument** which will be delivered j tomorrow. —o CORDELL HULL (CONTINUED FHOSt PAGE ONE) was negative. Hull said that the United States had received “ not only with surprise, but with profound regret," the contentions made in Mexico's note of August 3 that there is no rule under international law "which makes obligatory the payment of immediate

R compensation." 17 I He replied that such exproprlaitltiop was bold confiscation, and In lt i violation not only of international y I law. hut of the guarantees containa ed in the constitution of every American republic. ( l Hull reiterated assertions of preI vious notes that "the government of the United States cannot admit ’ that a orefgn government may take the property of American nationals In disregard of the univer- ’’ sally recognized rule of compensai tlon under international law or admit that the rule of compensation rl can be nullified by any country through its own local legislation.” n| He said that the policy followed ‘-by Mexico places "The United t! States government in a situation a I where it must either assert and I maintain with all vigor the doc- . j trine of just compensation or else r I acquiesce In the repudiation and r] abolition of that doctrine.” II "Obviously it cannot adopt the I latter course," he said.

Mr. Roosevelt indicated that the j question of Browder fell into the , same category as the recent testimony at the Dies hearing in . Washington which held Shirley , Temple to be a communist dupe. The president shied away from questions as to whether he would carry the fight to Tydings on his home grounds, insisting with a smile that he had made no plans I other than those which call for | departure from Hyde Park Monday night for Washington.

Republicans also have been discussing such a i move since their five-cornered race I for the senatorial nomination at , their June convention. There also was some discussion of the 1940 campaign in reference to the nomination for governor.
