Foreign Buyers Enter
American Security
Markets Again
Heavy Orders Reported
From Abroad in Brisk
Rally Yesterday
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 13.-Foreigners
have begun to want our securities
again, after a period of war scares,
and Wall Street has hopes for an
expanded stock market with per-
haps a little boost ii prices.
Brokers reported yesterdays up
turn in the New York Stock Ex-
change, when leading shares went
higher by as much as 81 to SO, was
touched off by heavy orders from
abroad, especially London and Am
sterdam. Instead of 100000 or
100000 shares changing hands, as
has been usual lately, turnover went
up to more than 100000, the heaviest
since May 25.
Buyers apparently were looking
for investment, rather than specu-
lative shares, and a number of
these sold at new high prices for
the year. When the session closed
many stocks had recovered the
losses suffered in late June and early
July when the Danzig crisis helped
to push them down.
Bonds Also Aided.
Stock market optimism spread to
the bond market, where gains were
predominant. The relief of tension
over Europe was evident in ad-
vances recorded for many European
issues. 1t was seen also as factor
in a general decline in commodity
prices, which, traders said, were
Kidding themselves of the initiation
caused by war fears. Weakness in
foreign markets caused wheat fu-
lures contracts for September and
December delivery to drop to new
seasonal lows, while all corn futures
similarly plunged.
The recent boom in sales of
American copper was not reflected
in the June statistics made public
by the copper institute, the figures
showing a considerable increase in
stocks on hand at the end of June,
although world supplies had drop
ped. Men in the trade pointed out,
however, that since July l sales of
the product of United States mines,
both domestically and abroad, had
about equaled those of the first
three months of the year. Heavy
orders for armament purposes, espe-
cially from France, accounted for
much of the foreign business while
in this country demand came from
virtually every normal source.
Hoarding Reflected.
Purchase by the Bank of England
of f20,000,00O (about S93,6O0,O0O) in
gold reflected the extent of currency
boarding due to war fears and
stimulated business caused by Bri-
tain's armament program, bankers
here said today.
The acquisition, largest made by
the bank since December, 1885, was
interpreted as necessary to bring the
institutions reserves up sufficiently
to care for a heavily increased bank
note circulation which for several
weeks has been at almost record
levels for this season of the year.
The boost in circulation was
largely accounted for by the fact
people who are afraid of war over
taking them like to keep their money
in cash for emergencies. Then too,
the pace of business has quickened
with British steel mills working at
near capacity, employment virtually
disappearing and money in the
pockets of workers.

Charged with washing grease, gas- uline, and oil down city sewer, Sa- lem Thomas, of Guernseytown road, Watertown, an enploye of gaso- line station at Field and Meadow street, was fined $25 and costs when arraigned before Judge Theobald E. Conway in city court today. Eff teen dollars and the costs were re- mitted.
 Plumbing Inspector James R. Walker testified he came upon Sa- lem yesterday afternoon when the latter was about half way through the job of cleaning the stations grease pit. He said he reconstructed against the parctice, as the side walk was coated with grease ana dangeroues. He said that Thomas agreed to stop it.

 Inspector Walker testified that he passed by later in the afternoon and found Thomas still washing the contents of the pit into the sewer When he warned him to stop it, the inspector declared Thomas observed to Joseph Shaker, owner of the sta- tion:
 "He's one of the Hayes gang"
 Thomas testified he did not know of the existence of a preventative Ordinance. He said he continued to wash the grease into the sewer be- cause the job was half-done, and he

Dies Quiz Bares Blueprint For Revolt Which Future Fascists Could Use On U. 5.

And the whole episode might well be added to it, except for one or two things.
 PROPAGANDA
 STILL DANGEROUS
 In the first place. the campaign of Gilbert, Campbell ct al. did suc- ceed in one thing: it planted some damaging anti-Semitic propaganda all around the country, and the echoes of that propaganda will still be going about long after this speci- fic campaign has been forgotten.
 For another thing, the whole crack-pot scheme did lay down' blueprint for revolt. There is ar audience for this sort of stuff. If, some day, someone with genuine organizing ability, adequate finarl- cial backing and trifle more in- ventiveness comes along, here is the way he will operate.
 He will peddle his embryonic dictatorship as a means for pre- serving democracy, the Constitu- ton and American ideals generally :. and although in this particular case little enough progress was made, there was just enough pfog- ress to make you shiver when you think of the potentialities.

parent subterfuges, there is the sobering thought that IF Fascist type of uprising ever does occur in this nation it will happen along just the lines that the committee has been uncovering. The formula Is simple. As the Dies committee has exposed it, it goes like this:
 FIRST SELL
 'ISM' THREAT First sell people on the idea that the Communists (plus the Jews) are | getting ready to seize the govern ment. Persuade them that if some thing isn't done an alien "ism" will dominate the nation. Keep feeding them steady stream of propagan- da to convince them that these hor- rid radicals are either just about to strike or have made such headway that the fruit will fall in their lap without much further effort. | Then bring together 8 group of patriots who are willing to "up- hold the Constitution by taking up arms to crush this alien men, ace. Emphasize that it takes force to meet force.
 Stress the fact that you have only the loftiest and most patriotic of I motives.
 And then watch your time and wait for some storm cloud that will enable you to strike.
 That. roughly, is the program as the congressional investigators drew it out of Dudly P. Gilbert and James Erwin Campbell. Gilbert and Campbell never got a great way with their scheme, to be sure. Gilbert admitted that Campbell and his mailing list of 40 influential people" were all that was left of Gilbert's original grandiose idea for a nationwide organization of 3.000,000 Amer ican NationalistS."

had no sawdust at hand to throw on the slippery pavement. He denied calling Inspector Walker member "of the Hayes gang"
 Dangerous Practice
 Prosecutor Charles A. Summa ad- vised a heavy penalty declaring the practice of washing grease into a city sewer was more dangerous than it appeared. He said it might very well cause an explosion.
 Thomas had no previous record. He was arrested by aPtrolman Thomas Grady on warrant charg- ing violation of the city plumbing ordinance.
 Inspector Walker said the ordi- nance requires that separators be used to let water through but re- tain oil and grease in the regular drain of the stations. He said the drain at the station in question was clogged with grease.

Formula Is To Raise Save Democracy!' Cry As Shield For Embryonic Dictatorship

He said efforts to raise money for the venture had not been very successful, and ruefully confessed that they hadn't tried to collect initiation fees from the prospective 5000, ,000-adding that if they had, things might have gone easier. He himself, he said, had put up the four or five thousand dollars spent on the venture to date; or, more exact- ly, his wife had, he himself not being in funds of late.
 The idea of sending out all the scare stories about the leftist plot, said Gilbert, was to prepare people for trouble. No, he didn't favor private army; what he had in mind was getting people in the frame of mind SO that they would "offer
 manpower" to the police, the army

and so on when the red uprising took place.
 Much the same sort of idea was in Campbell's mind, as revealed in his testimony. The U. s. army, he felt, would be the ultimate saliva tion of the government. It would have to act when the reds went a little farther, and would probably have to seize power in the different states, turning things back to the civil authorities only when the last vestiges of radicalism had been stamped out.
 All of this boils down to little enough. John Hamilton told the committee that he has nut file" for crank letters about subversive activities, and that Campbell's fa- nous letter to him belonged in it.

COUNCIL WON'T
CHANGE ACTION

Mayor kaufman's motion that
the council rescind its Endorsement
of the Tacoma Junior Symphony
orchestra plans for raising funds
for a trip to San Francisco was
lost Monday for lack of second.
Kaufman based his motion on a
Better Business Bureau showing
that the orchestra has an affilia-
ton with the National Institute
of Music and Art, statesmen for
which were using the San Fran
cisco trip idea to promote sales of
its scholarships.
However. the other commission
ers contended that their original
Endorsement was given to the chill
dren who are members of the or
chestra, and to their parents who
are in charge of the fund raising
campaign, and that they had no
knowledge of commercial angles
to the plans at the time of the in
dorsement was given.
Accordingly, they held the in
dorsement should be permitted to
stand, but agreed they'd investi-
gate more carefully before giving
approval to another such idea.
