Foreign Secretary Anthony Great once 'before succeeded in wooing Germany and Italy back into the non-intervention block of 27 states, was informed of Germany's withdrawal from the control scheme because "there was no possibility of collaboration." The withdrawal, it was made plain was a direct result of the breakdown of negotiations on Germany's demand for a naval demonstration off Valencia that would "impress" the Spanish government. Germany and Italy blame this Valencia government for attacks on the Italian naval vessel Barletta, tne German battleship Deutschland and last German cruiser Leipzig.

Carney, charged with accepting $6,050 in bribes while assistant chief of the state securities division, was ready for the jury noon. Defense Attorney Paul M. Herbert portrayed Carney as a man who struggled to obtain an education, whose character had proved to be beyond reproach and a public official who had not betrayed a public trust. Carney was described by Prosecutor Ralph J. Bartiett as a "slicker," and said it was up to the jury to uphold clean government.

said if Carney were freed fee jury, in effect, would be saying to public- officials: "Get what you can."
