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,

NEW. YORK, 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.
