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

He went immediately to the coun

The chief executive will remain here
until 10 a. m. Monday.
STATE FAIRGROUNDS. Oklahoma
City. July 9. (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,

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.

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.

High Court Jurist Succumbs
To Heart Ailment
Named By Hoover, And
Known As Liberal.
PORT CHESTER, N. T Jury t.
(AP) Associate Justice Benjsmln
N. Cardoxo of tne umtca oiavea
supreme court died at 6:40 p. m.
tonight at the home of Justice Irv
ing Lehman of the New Tfork court
of appeals.
At his bedside were memrjera
the household and hla secretary
Joseph Rauh, who announced tha
death.
Cardoto had been ill with heart
trouble alnce last winter. In tha
last few weeka he had spent much
time In an oxygen tent.
Justice Cardozo was 68 last May
24. He had long been a friend of
President Roosevelt and only today
the president and Mrs. Roosevelt
sent flowers to him.
He came to Justice Lehman's
home from Washington In June to
spend the summer, after being
forced by his Illness to miss all tha
spring sessions of the court.
Cardozo had served on the su
preme court since 1932, when ha
was appointed by President Hoover.
Long celebrated aa a liberal, ha
went to the court as successor to
Oliver Wendel Holmes, famed as
the great dissenter."
Before that. Cardoso had been on
the New York court of appeal
sine 1917.
He waa bora In New York, th
son of a Judge, waa graduated with
high honors from Columbia univer
sity, and passed the bar examlna-
tlona without any formal legal edu
cation on the baala of reading h
had dona in hla undergraduate
years. .
A staunch supporter of the new
deal philosophy, he upheld 93 of
27 laws brought before the supreme
court In the hlstorlo period from
1034 to 1937.
His death ended mors than ft
week's fight to overcome a relapse
from the old heart ailment. Tn
first news of the relapse cams on
July 9, when physicians reported ha
"has not been doing so 'well.
' For the laat three days, tha :Jur-
.Ist's condition had ehanged fr
quently but, it seemed, he waa los
ing ground by Inches. Then early
today his aecretary announced that
Cardoso had "passed a poor night,
but otherwise his condition la un
changed.' Mrs. Raugh, wife of th Justice's
secretary, said funeral plana would '
be made tomorrow.
"Justice Cardoso grew weaker
throughout the entire day," ah
said, "but he waa conscious until
tha moment of his death,
"Ha knew his friends about him,
but during the laat few hours wss
able to say nothing- and to make
no gesture to them." '
She added that no relatives war)
present at th deathbed.
