The committee met to select coun-
sci, but after studying a list Of so

committee members, failed to agree on
q choice.
Among those considered were Judge
Samuel Seabury Of New York, famed
as crusading investigator, and G.
Roy Smith. head Of the public utilities
division of the Securities and Ex-
change Commission.
Both friends and critics Of the in
quiry have complained of the leisurely

that Peru was reinforcing border gar
risons with troops, bombing planes and
gunboats despite promises TO abstain
from force in the two nations dispute

A foreign Office statement said Peru
had sent five bombers to reinforce her

trated provincial troops near the Ecua-
dorian boundary at Tumbez, near the
Pacific Coast.
10 Planes Reported Arrived.
Three gunboats and 10 planes had
arrived at Puerto Pizarro, in this area,
the statement said, and three regi-
ments we're in the zone between Tum-
bez and Sullana, to the south.
previous assertions in Quito that
Peru had strengthened her military
forces at Tumbez, near the Pacific
Coast, were denied at Lima Satur-
day, the Peruvian foreign office
declaring only 80 police and SOL
diers had been sent to that border
town.
The foreign Office said 1t was advised
by Ecuadorian authorities at this
boundary that Peru intended to occupy
Matapolo Island, at the entrance of
the Gulf of Guayaquil. Guayaquil,
Ecuador's principal port, is situated
on the gulf.

last barrier to the construction of the
long-delayed new bridge to this beach
resort was apparently cleared today
with city government approval of a
new site north of the present bridge.
Mayor William T. Elliott and Coun-

Nathan L. Smith, chief engineer
of the Roads Commission, said plans
would be submitted soon to the War
Department and that bids on the
bridge might be asked within month.
The Roads Commission opposed the
old site for the new bridge on the
grounds it would bring traffic into q

GUARDON SECRETS
Roundup Of Spies Brings

NEW YORK, June 7 tN.A.N.A.).-
Six persons accused as spies are now
IN cells and II others have been placed
IN bond az material witnesses in the
United States Governments round-up
Of an alleged Nazi spy ring.
There was something ludicrcus
about the operations Of the blunder-

They were pickers-up Of unconsid-
cred tribes who appear to have pro-
vided the Nazi government with all
sorts Of useful information ranging
from airplane plans to maps OF the
Sixth avenue subway. They greeted
each other openly with Nazi salutes
and called out Hell Hitler" at Army
posts and arsenals.
At the Federal Building, however,
nobody seems to see anything funny
about the melodrama. There is an
approach to wartime hysteria in many
OF the Offices. Nobody wants to talk
and tempers are obviously ragged.
There Is no consolation in the fact
that the false whiskers of the visiting
Nazis had been so easily detectable.
The spies may have lacked the clever
ness to keep from tripping over their
own feet, but they had gone about
their interesting work unnoticed for
too many months

True, pair Of men important to his
case are beyond his reach-Werner
George Gutenberg, aviation expert,
and DR.. Ignatz T. Griebl, former Nazi
leader. But Mr.. Hardy believes that
the investigation would get along very
well without them In the meantime
steps are being taken to prevent any
other spies or important witnesses
from getting too homesick.
Meantime, the inquiry goes on and
the list of known German agents in
the United States gets longer and
longer.
Despite some oddities in the mate
rial picked up by the Nazis, it is
apparent that they concentrated with
some success on American airplane
plants.
Just how much the German investi-
gators found out in the 18 months
that they are known to have worked

What damage they have done to the

Japan has become the United States
best customer for war supplies.
The State Department published fig
ures today showing that Japan had
passed China during the last. six
months, although Brazil led all other
nations in May alone, when she bought
$1,494,824 worth of arms and ammu-
milton. Japan spent ST. ,334,608 to rank
second in May.
Exports of war supplies to China
and Japan in the six months exceeded
those for the entire previous fiscal year,
which, for the National Munitions
Control Board of the State Depart
ment, begins December /.
Japan Spends S6,091, ,O90.
From December to June l, Japan
spent s6,09l 900 for war equipment IN
the United States, compared with
China's purchases of $5,819,739 worth.
Their combined total was $1O,112,152
IN the previous year.
Exports of war materials to all ma
tions during the six months totaled
$3l l,090,054, compared with $50, ,7O4, ,808
for all of 1887. Aircraft and parts,
including commercial planes, form the
largest category of exports under con-
troll of the Munitions Board.
Soviet Russia declined sharply as an
arms customer. She was a leading
buyer last year, importing $12,446,-

Lady Astor is leading figure in that

policy Of appeasing Europe's dictators

the overtures which resulted in the

eral European settlement.
Lady Chamberlain has Just con-
cluded a tour of ins,lrcent Snain as q
privileged guest Of Generalissimo
Francisco Franco.
But her brother-in-law has been too
concerned about the German Nazis
and their intentions in Czechoslovakia
to give attention to any potential deals
with Franco. whose rejection of the
plan to withdraw foreign fighters put
the Anglo-Italian pact in moth balls
