Ness said that "In addition- to being on the editorial staff of a bund west coast publication, he was chairman of a "camouilage com mittee." the purpose of which was to distribute German propaganda "In a way that It would not be recognised as coming from Germany" to newspapers and other publica tions. He remarked, too, that Schwlnn had said that the "camouflaR com mittee" was to function "exactly In the same manner as the communist party" operated. bulls $74.15; selected vealers $11.50f bulk and good to choice lot 910.50 en.

Livestock Portland Produce Wall St. Report WASHINGTON, Oct. 6. (AP) Nell Howard Ness told the Dies commit tee today that plans to "paralyze the Pacific coast from Seattle to San Diego' were discussed at German-American bund meetings at Los Angeles during his membership In that organization In 1636. Ness said the tie-up was to be achieved through bund members employed as mechanics In key In dustries. The plans, he declared, pro vided for the destruction of docks and waterworks. Industrial plants against which sabotage was planned, the witness asserted, Included "power plants like the one at the Hercules Powder com pany." He testified, too, that one of the bund members, a man named Schunke, was employed at the Doug las aircraft factory. "The biggest majority of the bund members were machinists or me chanics," he said. "Some were shop foremen." "There were at one time 100 mem bers we could depend on to paralyze tlw Pacific coast," Ness testified be fore the house committee, which Is Investigating un-American activities. Arm of Government He also told the committee under questioning that the bund was "an arm of the nazl government for espionage purposes" and said that he and the Los Angeles bund leader In Los Angeles helped a German espionage agent photograph United Slates submarine and destroyer bases at san Dtego in 1Q36. When testimony about the west coast plans was discussed Rhea Whit ley, committee counsel, commented "this Is the organization which Fritz Kuhn, the German-American bund leader, said was 'purely an American political organization'." "There's nothing American and there's nothing political about it," said Ness, "it's; Just an arm of the German government." On Germany's Side Answering WWtley's questions, Ness eald there was rto doubt in his mind bund members would be on the side of Germany in case of war between that country and the United States. He said sabotage and espionage against the United States in such a war were discussed frequently at bund meetings. The witness asserted he heard Her man Schwlnn, the Los Angeles bund leader, describe himself as "a rep resentative of the German aovern- ment". and Schwlnn once told of his personal association with Adolf Hit. ler in Germany during the early days w me nazi party. Ness said he frequently met Ger man secret agents who went from : Germany to the Pacific coast. une or them, whose name the witness said he could not recall, a5ked to see the position of the fleet at San Pedro and the San Diego uftatM, ness lestmea. with Herman Schwlnn, Los Angeles bund leader known as the "fuehrer of the west," they started out, the witness con tinued. Forts Photographed "When we passed a golf club about 20 miles south of Long Beach, there was a CCC truck driving up to this club and I mentioned that the place was a proving ground for our coast defenses," Ness testified. "This Ger man agent became very excited and wanted to stop to take some pic tures." The agent took 3 or 4 snapshots, Portland PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 6.

(AP) Steel, aircraft, chemical, rail and some specialty shares put on a power demonstration in today's stock mar ket it didn't outlast the morning trading and gains of fractions to 4 points were badly cut or turned into losses. Trading was fast at first and the ticker tape got behind transactions. After the initial enthusiasm prices began to slip and activity to die down. Transfers approximated 1,400, 000 shares. The opening accumulation of buy ing orders, brokers said, was due largely to the interpretation of trad ers that Hitler In his Berlin peace appeal this morning had been too vague, and not conciliatory enough, to earn serious British and French consideration of his demands.
