Seized BY Black
Committee

The battle between rival Senate
and House lobby investigation
committees for custody of Howard
c. Hopson, the wraith-like $50.
pound utility magnate, entered a
new state today when the House
Rules Committee threw its pro-
tective arms about Hopson to
prevent him from being dragged
before the Senate investigators.
The rules committee, conduct
ing the House inquisition, directed
the sergeant-at-arms of thu House
to place Hopson under protective
arrest"
Senate Blocked
The effect of this, the commit
tee believes, is to prevent Hopson,
despite his citation to appear be-
fore the Senate to face contempt
charges, from being forced to face
Senate inquiSitors at any time
that the House committee is in
regular session.
Hopson, whose whereabouts are
known to Representative O'Con-
nor CD Of New York, chairman
of the House committee, mean
while remained as elusive as ever,
while Senate investigators con-
tinued to search for him in
Washington and nearby Virginia
and Maryland.
The Senate had intended to
proceed today with contempt pro-
ceedings against William A. Hill,
Hopson's young Boston attorney,
but at the request of Senator
Black CD of Alabama, chair"
man of the Senate Lobby Com
mittee, postponed proceedings I'M

TAX VOTE DUE
TOMORROW
REP. JOHN J. O'CoNNoR

Administration leaders today
held high hopes of pushing the
269 million-dollar tax bill through
the Senate tomorrow night or
Saturday.
This optimism was occasioned
by a sweeping Administration VIC
tory in the initial text of the
measure. BY a vote of SIS to 10
the Senate crushed an attempt
to send the measure back to com.
mittee with instructions to report
it out next year. The motion
was offered by Senator Vanden-
berg (R) of Michigan.
Senate leaders further backed
up their prediction of speedy en-
actmeht with the announcement
that Senator La Toilette (P) Of
Wisconsin, will not prolong his
fight for his amendments lower
ing the brackets on personal in
come. Senator La Follette's
amendments were e m n a e d
from the bill after being adopted
when the Senate Finance Com
mittee first began consideration
of the measure.
Senate leaders said he plans to
make a short statement and then
call for a vote.
Other amendments are Of a
minor nature and are expected to
cause little trouble.
Senator Huey Long 3D. Of
Louisiana, severe critic of the
bill, told Senate leaders he will
not continue his opposition on
the floor. He said he plans a
trip to Europe and is anxious to
get away. Senator Harrison said:
"Taking all this into cOnsid-
Grafton. we will pass the tax
bill Friday night for it looks
like easy sailing from now on"

Run Organization

MOSCOW, Aug. Is 0.NSD
What is virtually a call to Com
munists throughout the United
States to rally their forces in
support of the Roosevelt Admin.
istration was sounded to the
Congress of the Communist In
ternational by Georgi Dmitroff,
party leader, it was revealed
today with publication of his
final address on organization.
"Reactionary, anti-Administra-
ton finance and capital in the
United States are the true force"
behind the Fascist organization
there, Dmitroff, Bulgarian Com
munist and defendant in the IA
nous Reichstag fire trial, told
the congress in his speech, made
yesterday.
Since the whole theme of the
current Congress has been the
necessity of organizing united
front" against fascism by an
alignment with all parties, Omit
roff'S statement was interpreted
as meaning only that communists
must rally to President Roosevelt'S
support by organizing against his
attackers.
Call It ReactiOnary
Declaring "hang-overs of formal
ism" exist in the American Com
munist party, Dmitroff said:
"It is a journalistic approach
which cOnvinces some Of our
comrades that the U. S. Admin
istratiOn is a clearer form OF
DEVELOPMENT of the bourgeois
attitude toward fasciSln than
the national government in
England.
''It takes a large share Of
Journalism not to see that it is
the most reactiOnary circles Of
finance and capitol who are at
lacking Roosevelt in America
and that they represent a force
which is stimulating and organ
izing the Fascist movement in
the United States.
'Not to see real fasciSm de-
veloping in those circles behind

the protection Of Democratic
rights is to diSOrganize the

Throughout the current con-
eress, now winding to a close,
speakers have urged Communists
of the United States to join the
entire working and farming class
in a fight against fascism, even
to the extent of joining organiza-
tics they formerly outwardly op-
posed, such as church groups, So
cialist groups, and even capital

MARKET FOR BANK
EQUITIES REEVES.
Buyers Forced to Pay Ris-
ing Prices After News of
Compromise Bill.
BY BERNARD S. O'HARA.


NEW YORK, July 9.-The market
for bc.nk stocks has come to life again
after a sleep whica to dealers in these
securities seemed almost as long as
the legendary nap of Rip Van Wrinkle.
Investors have been sampling the
market with orders ranging from
small odd lots to stable blocks, and
in the filling OF the bids most of the
buyers have hao to pay rising prices.
Revival of interest came rather sud-
denly last week with the news from
Washington that the Senate Banking
Subcommittee had reported COM
promise bill with provision permit
ting commercial banks to underwrite
security issues under prescribed limits.
If this is effectuated banking insti-

included in the banking act and the
securities act Il 1888. Both legislative
acts were framed in response to senti-
ment engineered by alleged abuses in
the security distributing activities Of
certain banks during the bull market
period which ended in 1929.
This injunction tended to quicken
the pace Of deflation in bank stocks
and pull them down to figures which
were but small fractions of their sem
sationally high levels of 1929.
But with the projection of this ray
Of hope for re-entry into the security
business, bank-stock investors put
aside their glum thoughts on low
money rates and unsatisfactory earn
ings for the banks. Here was some
thing, they reasoned, which promised
some fattening of banking profits now
abnormally low because of the small
demand for credit.
Last weeks buying movement in the
bank stocks was the most impressive
of any witnessed since the start of the
slow recovery from the doldrums Of
1928, according to dealers.

WHOLESALE INDEX
STAGES ADVANCE
Fertilizer Association Finds
Rise to IT'S Per Cent
From 77.2 Level.

The weekly wholesale commodity
price index Of the National Fertilizer
Association advanced in the week
ended July 6 TO IT'S per cent of the
1926-1928 average, as compared with
77.2 in the preceding week; IT'S in
the second preceding week; $50 a
month ago, and TIC year ago. The
rise in the index last week followed
five consecutive weekly declines, which
had resulted in the index falling off
is per cent.
Four of the IA component groups
of the index moved upward and two
declined. The principal advances
occurred in the grains, feed and live
stock and textiles groups; the ad-
vances in the foods and miscellaneous
commodities indexes were small.
The rise in the grain. feeds and live
stock index was due largely to higher
prices for wheat and live stock: the
price decline which occurred during
the last part of the week took the
quotations for corn, oats, and rye to
new low levels for the current year
Higher prices for cotton and wool
raised the textiles index to 68.5 from
677 in the preceding week. The
trend of foodstuff prices was mixed
during the latest week, with FOUR
items in this group advancing and
three declining. The slight change
occurring in the miscellaneous COM
modities index was the result of an
advance in leather prices which was
not fully Offset by decline in coffee
prices. A slight drop in cottonseed
meal was the cause of the change in
the fertilizer materials index.
Price declines last week balanced
the advances, with 20 quotations NOV
ing in each direction; in the pre-
ceding week 10 commodities advanced
and q declined; in the second pre-
ceding week 2 advanced and SO de-
clined.

FIRM TREND AIDS
FEDERAL CREDIT
Demand for New Offerings
and Prices of Other
Bonds Cited.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 9.-Judging by
the market price of its outstanding
obligations and the ease with which
it is able to sell new offerings, the
Government of the United States
keeps its credit unassailably high de-
spite the large deficit and the record
high total Indebtedness.
The latest illustration is the new
Treasury issue of s5O0,O00,00O notes
running four years and five months
at the coupon rate of l3s per cent,
the lowest rate for such a maturity
so far. for which the usual large over
subscription is expected, with bids
padded accordingly. One dealer said
he had put in bid for $4,000 900 and
expected to receive S250,000 in bonds.
The announcement was made over
the week end and Government issues
held firmly around their high points
in the first session thereafter. these
highs being close to the record nigh.
Whatever other worries the Treasury
may have, it can have none with re-
gard to the marketing of its obliga-
tons under present conditions.
1t may be objected that these con-
ditions are artificial, and that is true,
but it does not alter the fact.
Bank funds go into Governments
because there is no other place for
them to go. Insurance companies buy
Governments because they must have
some return on their investments.
Corporations take Governments be-
cause, in balance sheets, they figure
Us the equivalent of cash.
AS long as interest rates remain as
low as they are and as long as moth
ing new comes to disturb confidence,
the Government bond market can
hold. There is no sign whatever OF
any change in this respect now.
