(('ontlnned from Page One) from this country to help others.” He believed that large foreign orders “may clog our own production,” and objected to “the possibility that we are making available to others military advantages which should ! be our own ahead of anyone else." Meanwhile, it was reported reliably that the Senate investigators had obtained information that Premier Edouard Daladier, of France, had "contacted" United States’ government officials in an attempt to assure the French mission as assistance in purchasing the best available planes. France was understood to have approximately $65,000,000 in cash available to buy nearly 600 aircraft.
INVESTIGATE JUDGE (Contlnaed from I'nitt* One) controlled, allegedly received a total of $439,00 in loans from companies and individuals representing companies and individuals interested in cases before the court over which Manton presided. A federal investigation of Manton’s nffans was announced Saturday by Attorney General Frank Murphy, who said yesterday that the government was continuing the investigation. and that Manton ha.l promised to resign in a conference with Murphy in New York last Wed-
nesday.
Dewey was said to have been first informed six months ago by Deputy State Tax Commissioner Spencer Bates, that an investigation of income tax returns of so-called “Manten Corporation” was pending. The tax investigation had been in progress then for some time. It was reported at Dewey’s office that even if there was any evidence of income tax Irregularities it would be outlawed by the two-year statute of lim-
itation*.
New Dealers, believed that Dewey get news of the imminent federal investigation through a “leak” in the United States attorney’s office at Now York and it was reported that Murphy planned to shake up the office an a result. Congressional Democrats interpreted Dewey’s letter to Sumners ar an attempt to make political capital of the resignation and ■ nt.mce his prospects as a potential Republican candidate in 1940. Dewey had sent the letter almost 24 heurs before the resignation was flict announced here by Sumneis, and inter confirmed in New York by tfto judge. * Menton said his resignation did not imply any admission of irregularitDa, and that none of his business ucUvilles “bore the slightest relation to ihji conduct as a judge or to any lit.g tion in my court.” m said that he had planned for tw y:nrs to resign from the bench, to v/hich President Wilson appointed hjm in 1916 and which had jurisdictic t over federal courts in New York, Vc.tnont and Connecticut, and he stti 1 that he had set March 1 as the dat" of effectiveness because he balltvi .1 ho could dispose of pending ecur matters by that time. it was not ascertained whether any cases would come up for his decision should he remain until March. He said he had no plans for the future but might try to “build up” j some of his corporations. In a press conference, curing which he handed j out statements announcing his res- j ignation, he also referred to Dewey’s | interest in the case. Asked whether ' the investigation of his conduct was in reference to state or federal income taxrs, he said: “In connection with Mr. Dewey’s ambitions.”
<< <>Btlnur<l from Pace One) dined comment. Some believed that the President, as a result of past verbal nuels between Ickes and the German press, might have asked him to refrain from comment this time. Sen William E. Borah, R., Ida., and dean of the Foreign Relations Committee, also refused to comment. Back of concern here over the event was credited mainly to the fact that most of Hitler’s remarks bail been discounted earlier. Officials considered there was every reason to believe that Hitler, in his first major speech since the Franco-ltalian controversy over colcnies, would pledge assistance ' to Italy. Italy did as much for Germany at the height of the Czechoslovakian crisis last September. Hitler’s reiteration of his determination to expand Germany’s markets in Latin America was not a surprise. Nazi methods of expanding export markets have had the full attention of Secretary of State Cordell Hull and his assistant for several years, and Hull studied them carefully at first hand during the recent Pan-American Conference at Lima The declaration of Lima, voicing the solidarity of the western hemisphere nations in matters of defense, and the unanimous resolution to pursue trade policies laid down in Hull’s reciprocal trade treaty program were intended to circumvent undue expansion of German or Italian trade in Latin America through use of special trade currency, such as the “askimark,” exchange control, barter deals, and similar artificial
measures.

M \ Y REJECT MAJOR APPOINTMENT OF PRESIDENT WASHINGTON, Jan. 31—<UP>— Congressional rebellion against the N< w Deal was headed today toward significant challenge and probably rejection of three of President Roosevelt's major appointments.
