Malaga in Revolt
Against LoyaIists
By THOMAS A. LOAYZA

MADRID, Aug. % G.N.SO
Practically delivering The impor'
tant seaport to the beSieging in
surgents, the military garrison at
Malaga has revolted against the
Loyalist volunteer militia, the in
surgent radio station at Corunna
asserted today.
Insurgent columns have been
marching on Malaga for several
days and reached position
whence they could lombard the
city when the revolt broke inside
its walls.
Against this reported victory of
the insurrectionists was a govern
ment claim that Cordova had been
captured. This was denied by in
Surgent sources, who said that one
wing of the attackers had been
driven back. 1t is evident, how
ever, that loyalists now practically
surround Cordova.
Both sides likewise claimed vic
tories on the Guadarrama front,
with the insurgents broadcasting
from Pamplona that the major
drive on Madrid is well under
way" Gen. Francisco Frances
army east of Merida again tried
to break through to Madrid from
the west, but loyalist reinforce
ments stemmed the drive.
An insurgent column is now as
serted to have reached Granada
from Seville, in an attempt to lift
the siege that loyalists have main
tanned there for nearly four weeks.
Troops On Way
Reinforcement by the thou
sands are being sped northward
to the San Sebastian-Irun front,
where insurgents have been
baked in repeated attacks, and
now claim to have 100000 Moors,
foreign legionnaires, and militia
men in the north.
AS the infantry and artillery
renewed the onslaught today.
loyalist gunboat No. 3 again
bombarded Fuentarrabia, between
San Sebastian and Irun.
The most romantic of the tales
emerging from the civil war so
far is that of a loyalist phantom
column" of militia that drove
clear across Spain from Valencia,
and today captured Guadalupe,
in Caceres province. After an H.
mile march, the militia stormed
the town with a bayonet charge.

DEATH ASKED
FOR PL0TTERS

MOSCOW, Aug. % GN.SD.-A
few hours after Nikolai Bukharin,
editor of the official newspaper
Izvestia, and Karl Radek, editorial
writer, were linked to the bizarre
Arabian Nights" plot trial, Buk-
harms paper today demanded,
over the signature of Radek:
"The shooting squad for the
Fascist cOnSpiratorS."
This was the latest addition of
the grotesque to the trial of 16
alleged TrotSkyites whose confes-
sions of numerous schemes to as
sassinate Joseph Stain have now
implicated eight more highly sta
toned Bolsheviks.
Two more are in Jail, and Buk-
harm, Radek and four others are
under investigation, Prosecutor
Audrey Vishinsky revealed at the
trial.
Definitely implicated by docu-
ments telling of the TrotSkyites, "
and under arrest, according to the
prosecutor, are Gregory Sokolni-
koff, former ambassador to Bri-
tain, and M. Seredyakov, former
vice minister of communications.
The others being investigated by
the prosecutors orders are: Alexei
Rykoff, commiSsar for posts and
telegraphs; Mikhail TomSky,
former member of the politburo;
Grigory Piatakoff, vice-commissar
for heavy industry; and N. A.
Uglanoff, former chief of the Mos
cow party committee.
All are old Bolshevik leaders,
and most of them have been in
trouble with the Stain regime be-
fore. Even if they are never
brought to trial. they are finished
as Soviet officials, it is generally
believed.
Scheherazade herself might
have gained another day of life
by narrating the story with which
defendant Edward Holzmann en-
tertained the court. He said Ivan
Smirnov, Moscow Trotskyite
leader, sent him to Berlin with a
copy of the Arabian Nights" to
serve as a code for Syedov, Leon
TrotSky's son.
He said he forgot how the code
was to be used, however.
From Berlin, said Holzmann, he
went to Copenhagen, where the
eXiled Leon Trotsky told him I'VE
shall return to power if Stain is
removed, and the only way to re-
move Stain is through terrorism"

WARNS
OF RED PERIL
IN EUROPE
Nazis Anxious Over
Russia's Increase in
Armed Strength

ERLIN, Aug. % G.N.S).
Adolf Hitler's VoelkiSche Beo-
bachter today published a fiery
warning of the possible "mobiliza.
ton of Europe against Red
chaos" significantly timed as Ger.
many grew anxious over reports
that the Soviet Union has concen-
trated fleet in the Baltic Sea and
the Red army has been increased
by half.
With the bulk of Germany's
navy now concentrated in or en-
route to the Spanish civil war
zone, Germany is worried over
word that a formidable Soviet
fleet is now within striking dis
lance of the unprotected German
coast.
40 Modern Submarines
Naval sources here said the
Soviets have 40 modern subma-
rines concentrated at Leningrad
and Kronstadt, each capable of
making 10 trips to the German
shore without refueling. The
Russian fleet also has several de-
stroyer flotillas, a mine layer, two
refitted battleships, and a huge
air armada.
Rejecting the serious tension
between Berlin and Moscow, fol
lowing Germany's protest over
anti-German radio attacks, Voel.
kische Beobachter said:
with the Spanish civil war
there rises a fresh threat from
the Red fist of the Bolshevik
world, at whose command H..

equipped soldiers will march
against Europe.
UP TO PEOPLE
"The question therefore is
placed before Europe, whether
it wants to surrender in blind
weakness to this BOlShevik will
for war, or whether its sound
peoples will come to decision
to mobilize their entire strength
for defense against Red chaos"
This hint for Italo-German unity
followed also a denial in official
quarters that Italy had put out
feelers here regarding Germany's
attitude should Italy seize the
Balearic Islands. Germany would
not so far commit herself as to
express even diSinterestednesS, as
was reported, officials said.
Madrid's reply to the German
protest over search of the ship
Kamerun had not been received

BROKERS ANXIOUS
OVERSEE. c. PLANS
Hints That Commission Is
Just Starting Work Stir
Wall Street.
BY BERNARD 8. O'HARA,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, May 5.-Hints from
ofIicial quarters that the 8. e. G. Is
just beginning to hit its real stride
in the business Of regulating the stock
exchanges are causing . bit OF ap-
prehension in Wall Street brokerage
circles.
The brokers were worried and un-
happy when the 8. e. G. was Gre
ated. They believed its codes and
regulations would tend to curtail busi-
ness on the stock exchange. With
the formal application Of the act
in the Summer Of 1884 the brokers
fears were at full tide, but thereafter
they gradually suhsided.
Alarms Fade Away.
And finally, Wall Street began to
display a mood of optimism on the
subject Of regulation. It seemed COM
fortably adjusted to the s. E. c. regu-
lations, which 50 far from throttling
the business Of the stock exchange, ap-
peared to invite the confidence of
many investors and trader, who had
previously been wary Of the stock
market in its unregulated days.
Thus the bull market of 1885, get
ting its start in March. bloomed and
throve under the watchful supervision
of the 8. E. G. It rolled along under
good momentum until q month ago
with accumulating evidence of stead
lily increasing public participation.
After that the market missed It's
footing and suffered a bad tumble. At
just about the same time the 8. T. c.
served notice on the well-known in
vestment bank and stock exchange
firm Of White, Weld g. Co. that 1t
would have to show cause why 1t
should not be expelled from tn. stock
exchange and some other boards on
which it held membership because of
alleged manipulation of the shares Of
A. o. Smith Corp.
Comes as Shock.
This caused something of a shock
to brokerage quarters, because many
began to fear that the s. E. c. was
beginning to draw some very fine lines
of distinction between manipulation
and Legitimate" operations for mar
ket support, as Wall Street he'd been
accustomed to regard them for years
past.
Following this S. E. c. spokesmen be-
gan to talk as II the work Of the COM
mission so far had been mainly pre-
liminary and exploratory and that the
organization was now ready to under
take the real job Of protecting the
investor.

SUSPENSE GROWS
ON FATE OF FRANC
U. S. Monetary Officials
Watch Cables for Hint of
Leftist Policies.
BY FREDERICK GARDNER,

Associated Press FINANCIAL writer.
American monetary authorities
watched the cables from Europe today
for hints on what indirect significance
the political shift to the left in France
might hold for the dollar.
Since the elections in France.
suspense has grown here in the long
wait for an answer to the question
whether the European gold bloc"
would lose its main pillar, the French
franc.
Seeing the drain of gold from the
Bank of France and other indications
of uneasiness over the franc, some
have concluded the French currency
was destined soon to follow most other
leading exchanges since 1881 on the
path to depreciation and ultimate de-
valuation in terms of gold.
But the immediate meaning for the
dollar was obscured by uncertainty as
to what action a new French govern
ment might take.
Quick Action Possible.
1t was pointed out that France
could, as Belgium did last Spring, put
through q quick devaluation or place
an embargo upon gold shipments, al
lowing the franc to find its proper
level pending agreement with the
United States and England for sta
bilization of exchange rates.
In either event, many experts be-
lieve the repercussions upon the dol
lar would not be important enough
to bring action from the administra-
ton.
As they see 1t. the British pound,
rather than the franc, holds the key
to further monetary change in this
country, such as revaluation Of the
dollar to the full so per cent per-
mitted by law.
For months the pound and the dol
lar have been in what exchange stu
dents have come to regard as virtual
sterilization in fact, with fluctuations
in the price of gold in the open mar
ket at London narrowing to a small
range.
Domestic Prices Stable.
4Hc uOuicotiC PilSC aCNCA, 90 ACoo0
ured by various indexes. has settled
into q steady course with the dollar
and the pound.
Inference that the administration
would be content to have the dollar
stay on its course. keeping internal
prices with it, was read by some II,
recent speeches of President Roose-
welt and Secretary Hull.
From all indications the really sig
nif1cant development would be q big
drop in the British pound against the
dollar as result of franc depreciation.
Temporarily the French situation is
helping lift this country's huge gold
supply to new heights.
But in the long run monetary ex-
perts believed Europe might reclaim
substantial part of the metal after
the circle of currency revaluation has
been completed.
