MOSCOW ACCUSED
OF REVOLT PLOT
Bolivia Claims Discovery OF
Secret Archives Order
ing Uprising.
Rv the Associsted Press

BY the Associated Press.
LA PAZ, Bolivia, September T.
The Third Interna tionale at Moscow is
charged by the Bolivian government
with attempting to organize a revolu-
ton here with the object of setting
up a Communist regime.
Documents alleged to have been OBJ
tanned from the secret archives of the
Soviet embassy in Paris and for
warded here for submission to the
Bolivian Parliament purport to show
that one "Comrade Martinez was
sent to this country, and that he was
to be supplied with 100000 francs
with which to foment the revolution.
Alleged Instructions Seized.
One of the documents. marked
very secret" allegedly signed by M.
Zalkind, secretary of the Third Inter
national and written at the order of
the Communist leader, Nikolai Buch'
arin. instructed Martinez as follows:
ION your arrival there Tin Bolivia
you will begin the work of Organiza-
ton of Communism and place your
self and all your energies and efforts
in the service of Communist revolu.
y
workers and farmers"
The instructions directed Martinez
to open a business house under cover
of which the revolutionary work
would be carried on and (which will
he the general staff of the government
and serve as the medium of commu-
nication with our agents in other
cities of South America"
Presentation of the documents to
the Bolivian Parliament by the for
eign minister was followed by a vote
of confidence in the government. At
the same time it was announced that
another Communist movement had
been discovered and suppressed, with
the arrest of the leaders.
Recalls London Raid.
The charges of a Communist plot
in Bolivia, to be carried on under the
cover of a business organization, re-
calls the raid last May on Soviet
House in London, headquarters of the
Russian trade delegation. and of Acros,
Ltd, Soviet commercial organiZa ton.
The British authorities charged that
the commercial transactions carried
on there served as A cloak for sub
versive activities. and on the basis of
documents seized by the Scotland
Yard raiders broke off both diplomatic
and trade relations with the Soviet
government.
Among the secret addresses said to
have been seized in the Soviet House
raid appears the entry, ''Senor D. Mar
tinez Catalina, Gale il No. 1920,
Montevideo, Uruguay" but there is
no indication in the dispatches from
La Paz that this is the "comrade" AL
legedly designated to take charge of
Communist activities in Bolivia.

GROUP PORTRAYS
OLD-T|ME AMERICA
Art Patrons Plan to Preserve
as Memorial Bush Browns
"BuffaIo Hunt"

Philosophical art patrons are sup
porting a movement to preserve as
lasting memorial of a day of early
American life that has vanished,
Henry X. Bush Browns colossal
group, The Indian Buffalo Hunt"
which has been placed on exhibition
at the Union Station.
1t Is proposed to cast the group in
bronze and present it to the City of
Washington for erection In a public
park or at such a site selected by
the Fine Arts Commission.
The huge plaster cast of the group,
which won highest honors at the
Worlds Fair Exposition at Chicago
more than 80 years ago, is attracting
much attention from the throngs
passing through Union Station. 1t
has been erected near the east end
of the great train concourse, and here
1t will remain until sufficient funds
have been raised TO add a new and
original example of American art to
the collection of monuments in the
National Capital.
Transfer Is Difficult Task.
The removal of the group from the
studio of Mr.. Bush Brown at 1929 G.
street, where it had been housed for
many years, was a difficult and intri-
cafe affair. The parts are fitted into
each other and will be cast separately
in the bronze foundry and welded to-
Setbar. This makes it necessary for
the plaster cast to rest on unsightly
supports which many people do not
reallze are no part of the finished
statue.

pias6er cast from the original clay
model came from New York to SUPER

here In Washington he has a proud
list to his credit, among them being

ments as we'll as many others.
The Indian Buffalo Hunt" perhaps
the best known piece OF statuary of
IT'S kind in the country, depicts an
lndlan warrior on a rearing horse. at
death grips with q wounded buffalo
bull. which is charging it's enemy. 1t
represents one of the most pictur-
esque ana VIrlle phase of early Amer
lean Indian life.
Fund Campaign Begun.
Members of the Arts Club of Wash
lngton were prompted to start a
campaign to raise funds among art
patrons to reserve this interesting
group for future Westinghouse by
presenting it to the city. To help
arouse public interest, President Will
lard OF the Baltimore G. Ohio Rail-
road: President Harrison of the
Southern and President Atterbury
of the Pennsylvania arranged that
the plaster cast be placed on exhibit
ton in the concourse of the Union
Station.
The committee in charge of the
campaign is composed of Mrs. Fred
erick +. harrington of the Chevy
Chase School and Mr.. and Mrs. Her
man Gasch. They were prompted
to initiate the movement when they
learned that Mr.. Bush Brown would
be unable to keep the group longer
at his studio.

portunitiss anywhere in Washington
for development Of hill park to fur

The upper gardens of Meridian Hill
Park are virtually completed, only
some landscaping and planning fea-

lower gardens, from which an ex-
pansive vista of Washington Is I'M
folded. are uncompleted and it is
toward the completion of these that
the commission is directing it's atten-

gardens is not available, as Congress
for the past five years has granted
money only for the maintenance Of
the park and the existing gardens.
A statue to Dante is one Of the
impressive pieces of statuary in

been prepared for a statue to James
