will come Soviet form of gov

Mr.. Campbell testified he did not
think the situation had yet reached
the stage where anything is going
to pop"
Fears Communist Revolt.
II think it is pretty serious" he
told the committee. Il think thor
ough check will prove conclusively
that there is large number. as I
saw them in the May Day parade, of
Loyalists from the Loyalist Army
in this country ..
Il do think. and I believe sin
cerely that We are faced with a
threat of some kind of Communist
revolt in this country because of
losses they have suffered in other
countries"
Mr.. Campbell said Mr.. Hamilton
knew nothing of the reports he had
been sending out concerning the
Threatened uprising"
He felt I was kind of prophet"
Mr.. Campbell added, when l said
Jerry O'Connell former member of
Congress- would be defeated in
Montana" Mr.. Campbell said he
had predicted the Catholics would
defeat OConnell because he had
been photographed giving the Com
munist salute"
In response to questions, Mr..
Campbell said that while Mr.. Gil
bert had obtained most of his in
formation from the keen-eared
waiter, he had been taken to two
private meetings, one of which was
with a Sir William Wiseman in
New York. The other was at q
Long Island home which Mr.. Camp
bell could not identify.
Broke Since 1892.
Mr. gilbert told the committee he
had been broke since 1882 and was
dependent on income from his wife's
estate.
Questioned whether he believed a
revolution was coming, Mr.. Gilbert
replied:
Eyes, fear a revolution before
snow flies and that's why I'm work.
ing like hell on house in Kentucky.
Il feel they'll fail to put us into
a world war and will resort to direct
action, strikes and such things"
Attaches indicated the committee
first got wind of the anti-Semitic
campaign through an agent sent into
Tennessee to investigate the en-
ployment of an alien as an auditor
for the Tennessee Valley Authority.
The agent met James F. Cooke of
Athens, Tenn, department comman-
der of the American Legion, who
told him of the Campbell reports.
Mr.. Gilbert said the waiter, George
Rice, gave him about 70 inside tip
reports" many of which came true,
including orders affecting War De-
partment personnel, transfer of the
fleet back to the Pacific and other
matters.
