.Conspirators
In Uprising

New York, Jan. l6.-(AP)-A
woebegone group of II men accused
of plotting to overthrow the United
Safes government fretted in Jail to-
day unable to raise $4,000 bail each
as Federal agents sought other al
legged conspirators of the ''revolu-
tionary" syndicate.
While Federal, State, national
guard and New York police authori-
ties pressed investigations of the fam
tastic scheme to launch an anti-Se-
metic program, assassinate dozen
congressman and set up a Hitleres-
que dictatorship in this country, Jail
attendants described the II prisoners
as greatly subdued.
All pleaded innocent yesterday
when they were arranged on charge
of seditious conspiracy.
"Only % Men in Russia"
j. Edgar Hoover, FBI chief, said
he had evidence to support every jot
of the charge that a conspiracy was
aimed at establishing a dictatorship.
1T took only % men to overthrow
Russia" Hoover reminded Skeptics.
Meanwhile, residents at Narrows-
burg, N. Y, where the FBI agents
said they spied on the alleged con-
spirators while they were at rifle
practice, recalled having seen
group of ten or twelve strangers at
a nearby range, and commented that
their craftsmanship was lawful"
