madly up to Eva Rezzie, age 81, of
the Young Communist League, and
a younger girl worker, who were at
Coney Island explaining to a few
sailors of the United States Navy
the position of the Communist Party
and urging them to think which side
they would fight on in the class war.
A series of questions were fired
at the girls, and the younger one
arrested, "to protect her." said three
detectives and a police woman. A
crowd started to gather, and Eva
turned to the sailors and said, "You
young workers in the navy are the
first ones called upon to sacrifice
your lives to the bosses in a war,
but when you go out with girls you
are considered too low, and the girls
are arrested.

"h"reupon the arresting officers
all yelled, "She's a Red" and car
ried the younger girl off to the po-
lice station. She is apparently held
for the Children's Court. Comrade
Rezzi insisted on coming along to
see what happened to her and was
herself given "$5 or one day" for

What Fixes
Bond Prices
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Money Rates,


A bond-buying policy depends on the
outlook for money rates for its success.
If the trend in money is downward
that is to say If interest rates are de-
clining-bonds should be purchased be-
cause fixed-charge securities advance
when money declines and vice versa.
The type OF bond which appreciates
in market price most rapidly in periods
Of easing money is the low coupon is
sue selling at substantial discount
and below its redemption price, If any.
Conversely, the kind of bond to buy
when it appears that money is harden
ing is the higher coupon rate issue SELL
ing at par or at a premium and at or
near its redemption price, II any.
For a number of years now the bond
market has suffered from the popular
ity of stocks. 1t has also been handi-
capped by constantly rising money rates.
That phase of the cycle seems to have
passed. at least as far as conditions in
the money market CO. and, II so, the
profitable bond to buy is the one that
sells at a discount.
1t Is not at all certain that the public,
which was weaned away from the bonds
during the bull market in stocks will
return 10 us former love- ouI AAldhClal
institutions, which in any event are the
bulwark of the market. may be depend
ed upon to buy bonds If fundamental
conditions warrant it. and the individual
investor who still puts security first and
price appreciation second will do well to
follow them.
Bargain Issues.
There is, however, no reason why the
individual should not make the best
bargain possible for himself That bar
gain is to be found among the lower
coupon rate issues. It is well to remem-
Der one other point. In periods of bust
ness depression it is always the higher
grade bond which makes the best show
ing in the market. That is the one I'M
affected by current earnings and the
one to which buyers turn when the
trade outlook Is uncertain,

STOCKS WITHSTAND
SHARP BEAR DRIVE
DURING PAST WEEK
Continued From Eighth Page)


ton earnings of 1926 and 1929 are re-
peated.
There are groups of stocks whose
markets are today being based on the
overproduction of raw materials or
manufactured goods, the overexpansion
of manufacturing or distributing facili-
ties, overbuilding and overdevelopment
in the real estate field, overcapltaliza-
ton and large existing inventories.
These are being singled out one after
the other by the professional raiders
for the purpose of depressing the entire
share list. At different times this week
the increased activity on the Stock Ex-
change has been due to the attention
given such issues whose turnover has
been from 10 to IL per cent OF the days
total, as, for instance. that in Mont
gomery Ward on Wednesday and in
Radio Corporation on Thursday.
Against this, however, has been the
stability of other groups of stocks, such
as the public utilities, rails, electrical
manufacturing and, at times, those OF
the iron and steel group. In these sub
stantial and discriminating buying has
been taking place. The effect on senti-
ment has been most favorable, so that
while a few shares have this week
broken through the levels Of last No
vember and others have approached
very close to their former low, so Sc
Iected stocks on Thursday had adj
yanced above the average of January 2
before liquidation was renewed on Fri
day. This is a splendid record for q
period In which common stocks had to

his capital and the safety of 1t than to
its possibilities for appreciation.
