BESETS F MY' Strikers Hold "Baby Party" In Protest Count To Court OF iOT I DEATH CONIES TO JUSTICE CARDOZA, NEW DEAL BACKER The Capital Parade By Joseph Aisop and Robert Kintner 1 Copyright 1937, by The North American News paper Alliance. Inc. FOREION ORDERS SEEN BULL MARKET BASIS WALL STREET SAYS IT'S WASHINGTON BUYING SEE NO EVIDENCE OF POOL OPERATIONS NEW DEALERS HAIL AID FROM UPTURN WASHINGTON, July 10. After careful Investigation, securities ana exchange commission technicians, headed by able young Ganson Purcell, have concluded that foreign buying started the bull market. For the last week or so, SEC "Snooper" James Case has been In New York, studying on the spot the great mystery of June 30, when the desert of the stock exchange bloomed with orders over night. His confidential report to the SEC Is that, after American stocks Jumped on the London market that Monday morning, foreign orders were wired to the New York exchange In large num bers. These hit the exceedingly thin market at the opening, forcing heavy covering by the short-sellers. And. as the short and the foreigners Jump ed In. the large Investment trusts followed. The trusts have been keep ing their cash In their socks for a sunny day, and, fearing to be left behind, gave the final Impetus to the upward surge. Such Is the SEC explanation. It contrasts amusingly with the ones heard In Wall Street. Ono of these Is that "Washington buying" started the market, the notion being that the president used the stabilization fund of the treasury, or the works program funds, or some equally unavailable hoard to take a secret and quite Ille gal flier In the stocks. Another, al most as silly. Is that Joseph P. Kennedy and . other new deallsh money-bags formed a pool to tig the market, as a genteel favor to the White House. Obviously, the whispering In Wall Street Is every bit as silly as Wall Street whispering commonly Is. Nevertheless It must be admitted that there are distinct elements of mystery In the SEC's analysis. So far as Is known, there la no special reason why there should have been a sudden foreign Interest In American securities on the morning of June 30. Opinion at the SEC Is divided as to whether the apparently foreign Interest did not really consist of American orders placed abroad, and thus falsely colored. The least excitable are Inclined, however, to believe that the foreign origin of the boom was bona fide. Even so, there are curious and In explicable features of the foreign buying. For example, certain houses on the exchange had been sending bullish market letters to London for some time, while others had express ed to their foreign clients the un relieved gloom then reigning in the financial district. Under the circum stances, one would suppose that the bullish brokerage houses would have been favored with the foreign orders. Instead, the orders were concen trated largely among the merchants of gloom. In this, as In certain other signs, one might suspect proof of a concerted effort to send the market up. But who could have made the effort, and how, and why. no one can tell. Thus far. there hasn't been a particle of evidence of pool opera tions. What Is more, In strong con trast to previous booms, when tips on pools came In every hour, only one supposed pool has been reported to the SEC. It turned out to be a fraud. Opinion here Is sharply divided on the economic meaning of the bull market, which seems to be as gener ally mystifying as the market's real origin. As usual, the citadel of optimism Is the treasury, where the upward surge of the stocks Is considered proof that the happy days are here again. According to high treasury officials, the market has accurately reflected an unseen but positive recent Im provement In the business picture. They assert that, in many such In dustries as textiles, demand has be gun to outrun supply, and that the cheerful feelings thereby Inspired In msny business men found a nstural expression on the exchange. These optimists predict, therefore, that there will be a marked upturn, carrying the federal reserve board production Index from Its present level of 70 to nesr 00 before the year's end. They also expect very handsome further Improvement In (Continued on Pajre 31 ) Chinaman's Lurk PORTLAND.

(P) President Roose velt let Oklahoma voters know to day that he would like to have his loyal supporter, Elmer Thomas, re turned to the senate. The president, In his own words, had a 'wonderful" day. Itwu stud ed with ovations yet tinged with sorrow and surprise. The death of Judge Cardoza was a "great rersonal shock" to Mr. Roosevelt. The antics of Woody Hockaday, eccentric Kan san, almost upset the presidential motorcade In Oklahoma City. Addressing a cheering fairgrounds throng the president carried one step j further his progrnm of Indicating his! indorsement of the new deal sup- porters. "Senator Thomas." Mr. Roosevelt said, "has been of enormous help to me and to the administration In keeping me advised as to the needs of this state and to how we In Washington can help meet them." i Thomas, who Introduced the presi dent, was the fourth senatorial can didate to receive a verbal pat . on the back from Mr, Roosevelt. Rival Praised. The chief executive had made a friendly gesture to Senator Hattlej W. Caraway and yesterday he praised ; Senator Barkley of Kentucky, the Democratic leader, and Senator Bulk ley of Ohio. Hockaday, 62. attempted to Jump aboard the Roosevelt motor car In downtown Oklahoma City, ) He was knocked down by a secret service, agent's .. punch to .,the' Jaw. but, said his only Intention was to "shine the president's shoes." The Kansan has figured in other unusual enterprises. On one occasion he threw feathers around the office , of Secretary of War Woodrlng In support of a program calling for feathers Instead of bullets. The president frowned briefly as the commotion arose, but turned ! quickly back toward the crowd along 1 the route, smiling and waving his i hat. Double Praise. The president's reference to Thomas was interpolated Into his speech after It had been prepared. The president's original text described Thomas as "my old friend" and he gave him credit, with Josh Lee, the state's Junior senator, for procuring an ap propriation for the Grand river dam project. Mr. Roosevelt spoke beneath a hot, late afternoon sun. He drove to the fairgrounds with Thomas and Gov. E. W. Marland, who Is one of Thomas opponents for the senate nomination. Once during his talk, the president said the governor had given "great assistance" In developing a national policy toward oil resources. The president- made no reference to Gomer Smith, fifth district con gressman, who also la a candidate for the senatorial nomination. Smith sat on the platform during the speech, as did Thomas and Marland. After his speech here, the presi- (Continued on Page Two.) - ABERDEEN. S. D., July 9.

If ALL SET E I Motor Trouble Ignored By Millionaire Hop To Break Post's Record In Special Plane. NEW YORK. July 9 (AP) Howard Hughea began warming the motors of hi specially ' built transport plane tonight, apparently " determined In spite of delays due to motor trouble to hop within a few hours for Paris on the first leg of a round-the-world flight to beat the record of the late Wiley Post. The start had been scheduled for late today but, as time wore on while mechsnlcs worked feverishly to Iron outfall difficulties, the take-off was postponed from hour to hour, - As midnight approached, rain start ed falling on hundreds of persons gsthered to watch the start of the flight. Hughes seemed In better spirits than when he arrived at the field around 7:30 p. m. Then, a stiff south wind was blowing which would have necessitated using the north-south runway to lift the plane which weighs, with its load, 25.000 pounds. Whether Hughes and his crew of four actually would start tonlght-r beginning the flight to break Post's record of 7 days. 18 hours, 49 min utes or wait until tomorrow was a matter of speculation, even with his personal representative. Albert I. Lod wck, president of the Stlnson Aircraft corporation, of Detroit. Lodwlck announced shortly before midnight, after a conference with the millionaire sportsman: "If Hughes takes off tonight, and ha seems determined to do so. It will be between 2:30 and 3 a. m., R. S. T." Hughea- 85.000, twin-motored air plane at noon looked In no condi tion to make the attempt. Engines were torn down and compasses had to be "swung" for accuracy before the fuel tanks were loaded with almost 1.800 gallons of gasoline. Why Hughes was determined to leave this evening remained unex plained. Friends said he always had made his own decisions, and his hard-worked mechanics, who started the Job of examining his engine cylinders last night, asked no ques tions. Hughes himself waa still abed at noon, having retired at a late hour thla morning. He waa scheduled to visit the field for a teat hop in the highly-powered plena esrly this aft ernoon. The 8300.000 flight ita cost In cluded the purchase of two plants, one of which was discarded the Ilrat over the 3,800-mile great circle course to Paris since Lindbergh flew It In 1937, will take Hughes and four companions around the world unless diplomatic obstacles develop. Hughea planned to do all the flying on the Paris trip himself. Paw Man a ftulrlde. GRANTS PASS. July 9. P) Carl R.
