Hopson admitted he had been in Florida, and said: “Immediately upon my return from Florida I was in my off.ce.’ “Where is that?” “Well, I have several offices, but | my principal office is at 61 Broad street, New York.

He un- folded the paper to read it as he! walked away in the direction of the Senate. Black and other Senate committee members contended that not only Hopson, but lawyers and officials for the Associated system, had been “trifling” with the committee and were in contempt of the Senate. | Hill denied he had physically inter- fered with service of the subpoena yesterday and contended the law did not require him as a lawyer to report Hopson'’s whereabouts to the com- mittee. | “Yes, registered at the Penn Hotel.” Cox asked Hopson if he had at- tempted to shield his identity and whereabouts in an effort to escape testifying before the committee. “I don't think I can answer that s or no,” he replied. “Well, what's the meaning of not registering at the hotel,” Cox in- quired. “I never register at a hotel,” he answered. 1 always have a secre- tary or chauffeur do it.” Came Here to Testify.

The Repub- licans would have to make a gain of | 112 seats to control the House. | | There are two other vacancies in the House which might prove tests of the Roosevelt New Deal popularity if attempts were made to fill them this year. One was caused by the death of Representative Michael Igoe of Il- linois, Democrat, who was chosen Representative-at-large in 1934, and the other by the death of Representa- tive Cap P. Carden of the fourth con- gressional district in Kentucky. There | has been no indication, however, that a special election to fill the Igoe va- cancy will be called in Illinois. In the fourth Kentucky district, how- ever, an election may be held. Carden only carried the fourth district in| 1934 over his Republican opponent by 2,025 votes, and in the Hoover land- slide of 1928 the district elected a Republican. ’ | Vacancy in New York. A vacancy exists, too, in the New York twenty-second congressional dis- | trict, due to the death of Representa- tive Anthony J. Griffin, Democrat. | This district, however, has long been strongly Democratic, and Griffin car- ried it regularly since 1918. It has been dubbed one of the Tammany dis- tricts. So far nothing has been done \bout a special election there, it is said.

O’Connor, at the same time, however, charged the Sen ate Lobby Committee with *racing” after his committee. Denies Aiding Witness. “This committee,” Cox declared, | “has no intention. to protect Mr. Hopson against the service of a Sen- ate subpoena. If the Senate wants him, no one should stand in the way. | If he is not willing voluntarily to ap- pear. it is their duty to take him bodily.” “As far as I know,” O'Connor | added, “no effort has been made on | the part of this committee to prevent the Senate Committee from serving a | subpoena. Hopson was shelled with questions for nearly two hours, the committee tracing his movements from the time | he left the Shoreham Hotel last Tues- | day until its process servers caught up with him Friday in Newark, N. J. Efforts also were again made to get Hopson to disclose his income, but he again resented the “prying” into his personal. affairs to make newspaper headlines. Hopson said he was at the Shore- ham Hotel last week, régistered under a chauffeur’s name, while both House and Senate committees were looking for him. He insisted, however, that he could not answer “Yes or no” to a question as to whether he was “hiding out.” He explained that when he came to Washington, he fully intended to appear voluntarily before the House Committee, but when he “saw what 1t was” ne disappeared in justice to his health and his family. Arrives With Guard. Hopson arrived at the House com- mittee hearing 15 minutes late, sur- rounded by a bodyguard of House committee agents. He smiled as he ‘walked into the room and the photog- raphers again greeted him with a bar- rage of flashlights. William H. Collins, lawyer for the eommittee, took up the examination of Hopson and read a list of companies which he afirmed were 100 per cent controlled by the corporation headed by Hopson. These companies, consti- tuting what Collins called the Associ- ated Gas & Electric set-up, are: Manson Security Trust, Eastern Utilities Investment Trust, Utilities Managers Corp. and Utilities Pur- chasing & Supply Co. An item of $4,000,000 secured as *“service charges” had gone from the parent company to these subsidiaries, Collins pointed out, and Hopson ad- mitted this to be true, but added: “I hope there is no inference here, for this money was expended for services secured.” Stockholder Protest Read. Collins next read a telegram re- ceived by the committee from an | Associated stockholder, expressing dis- gatisfaction with the Hopson manage- ment. This stockholder, whose name was not revealed, said he owned $300,- 000 worth of preferred stock. “No stockholders’ meeting ” Hopson | answered, “expressed any dissatisfac- | | held I felt that Mr. Burroughs and other | employes have given all the testimony [ “I"did attempt to avoid agents of the Black committee. I did it as a duty to my health and my family.” Hopson then testified he left the Shoreham last Tuesday morning, but did not learn House agents were look- ing for him until he reached Gettys- burg, Pa. | Hopson said he later visited a freind in Virginia over a week end, but could ' not recollect if this was at the time the committee was trying to locate him. He emphasized he had not vis- ited former Secretary of War Hurley. ! Opposes U. S. Interference. Hopson admitted that his company “an antipathy” toward the | Wheeler-Rayburn bill, saying he was | “very much opposed to Government in business.” | O'Connor quoted from an advertise- | ment the Gas & Electric Co. had | inserted in New York newspapers, call- | ing attention to a criticism leveled at | the administration. “If you had my experience in busi- ness,” Hopson said, “you would have | used stronger language.” i\ Hopson then was asked if it was true that Associated Gas & Electric Co. had spent $700,000 fighting the | holding company prohibition. | “Several ‘weeks ago,” he replied, “I | saw a statement showing that the amount totaled $718,000. It is still necessary to employ counsel and I believe the whole amount might ex- ceed $800,000 or $900,000. “But,” he continued, “that’s only a small fraction of the $300,000,000 of equity money that will be completely destroyed if the holding company bill | becomes law.” It was at that point that Cox asked bluntly if he intended “cashing in” by buying up stock for nothing if the holding company bill is passed. The hearing recessed shortly after the resultant flare-up. When it met this morning to act on yesterday's ruction over serving a | summons on Hopson, the Senate Lobby | Committee asked “Hill, attorney for | Hopson, to waive immunity in testi- fying about the effort to serve a sub- poena on the utilities magnate. Hill agreed to waive immunity, but testified he had not physically inter- fered with the Senate’s process server. A witness before the committee yes- terday said Hill had shouldered in | between Hopson and McCarthy, ',hei Senate process server, after the House lobby hearing adjourned. “Are you willing to testify and waive any immunity that might be granted. by law?” Chairman Black asked, as| Hill, a middle-aged man of rather slender build, took the stand. “I think so0,” Hill replied, “There is | no reason why I should not testify.” h Hill denied physically inter- fering With service of the subpoena, hé’| agreed he had told McCarthy he could not serve -it because Hopson already was under the House jurisdiction. Hill then testified that Hopson knew | he was wanted by the Senate com- | told Hill Hill replied that he had a “dis-| tinct feeling * * * I did not inter- fere with officers of this committee.” He added that he had not uséd “physi- cal violence.” “The evidence showed you did,” Black retorted. Hill told the committee he met Hopson early yesterday in Alexandria, Va.ywhereshe had been directed by J. A. Shields, a New York attorney. He added he had met Hopson in Washingtcn “about 10 days ago” while “House and Senate committees were looking for him.” “Did yeu sell him he was hunted by the Senate Committee?” Black asked. Voiced No Preference. “He knew it.” Hill said. “Did he tell you he preferred to appear before the House Committee | before appearing before the Senate | Committee?” “We didn't discuss it." “Did you tell Mr. McCarthy yes- terday that he couldn't serve the subpoena?” | “I was correctly quoted. I said, | ‘You can’t serve him, he’s under the Jurisdiction of the House.'™ Hill insisted there was no plan to escape the Senate subpoena. He said he had nothing to do with the guard that surrounded Hopson as| he left the House. Questioned closely by Black, Hill | agreed he and other attorneys and | officials for the Associated company had conferred with Hopson here the day after most of them appeared be- fore the Senate committee and prom- ised to do all they could to locate the missing witness. Group in Chevy Chase. “Where did Mr. Hopson spend last night?” Black asked. “I don’t know,” Hill replied. “Did you see him?” “I left him at 12 o'clock.” “Where?"” “Out in Chevy Chase.” Hill said he and other associates of Hopson visited and chatted with the missing witness at the Chevy Chase home of one of his Washington attor~ neys. He said they had discussed the Sen- ate’s effort to serve the subpoena yes- | terday, but testified he could not re- member what was said. Senator Shwellenbach, Democrat, of ‘Washington said he agreed with Black about the contempt procedure. “There is a complete attitude of contempt in the action of Mr. Hopson, yourself and the actions of Mr. Bir- mingham and other representatives of 1 the Assoclated Gas & Electric Co.,” he Punishment Threatened. The Birminghath he referred to is one of the men who accompanied Hop- son yesterday and .who served the subpena on Hopson in New Jersey. “My duty,” Schwellenbach added, “unless Hopson makes himseif imme- diately available, requires that not only he, but' all others showing this con- tempt, must be brought before the pose. One of the Democratic leaders of the Buckeye State, a member of Con- gress, said today that while it was a matter for Gov. Davey to settle, he would be glad to see a special elec- tion held in Ohio. He added that he believed the Democratic nominee would win. If Gov. Davey should pursuaded to change his mind, un- doubtedly both Republicans and Dem- ocrats would put on an active cam- paign. This same Democratic leader said that he thought the estimates of the cost of the special election had been grossly exaggerated, since pri- maries would be held this Fall in Cleveland and some other cities any- | way for the nomination of municipal | officers. While it was predicted here today that Gov. Laffoon of Kentucky, Dem- ocrat, would call a special election to fill the vacancy in the House caused by the death of the late Repregenta- tive Carden, it also was said that he might delay the call until the fight over the gubernatorial nomination had been settled. Laffoon’s right-hand man, Thomas S. Rhea,’ former chair- man of the State Highway Commis- sion, must go into a run-off primary September 7 against Lieut. Gov. A. B. “Happy” Chandler. Gov. Laffoon has been at outs with the Roosevelt administration, partic- ularly over relief matters. The Gov- ernor and his supporters coptrolled the State Democratic Committfe, and that committee, despite a message brought in person by Senator Barkley to the effect that the President would like to see the Democrats nominate a candidate for Governor by primary election, voted for a State nominating convention. President Roosevelt at his press conference today made no comment upon the challenge of former Presi- dent Hoover that he declare what change, if any, he desired in the Con- stitution before the close of the pres- ent session of Congress. The Presi- dent said his plans were uncertain and that he did not know whether he would be able to go to Milwaukee to address the convention of “Young Democrats.” He had no plans for travel at present, he said, referring to reports that he would make a swing throug the West. “FAMOUS ,FROM COAST TO COAST” Dine In Splendor.:.

GENEVA, August 14.—Teague of Nations’ records disclosed today that the Union of South Africa took steps | to prevent a German Nazi campaign in Southwast Africa. ‘The records are part of the pro- ceedings of the Mandate Commission, which is concerned with the former German colony in Southwest Africa, now under mandate to the Union of South Africa. The territory, now known as “Southwest Africa,” was formerly German Southwest Africa. A mandate was established December 17, 1920.

NEW OIL CONTROL BILL BACKED BY HOUSE BODY Proponents of Measure Plan to Press for Action Before Adjournment. By the Associated Press. A new oil control bill was approved today by the House Interstate Com- merce Committee. Proponents of the measure, worked out by a special oil subcommittee | headed by Representative Cole, Demo- crat, of Maryland, planned to press for action before Congress adjourns.

The Chief Executive signed the bill | by Representative Drewry, Democrat, | of Virginia, authorizing the Govern- | ment to create a mile and a half monument with $100,000 of Federal funds to be made available for the project. | Contrary to the original suggestion several years ago, the monument au- thorized in the new act is not to be one of stone, but a park, technicaliy called a “monument” by the War Col- | lege in its classifications of parks established on battlefields. | ACCOUNTING APPROVED McCormick Conservators Detail Expenditures for 1934.

NEW LIQUOR BILL Controversy Arises Over Provision Permitting Sales in'Bulk. By the Assoclated Press. The House today rejected Senate amendments to the new Federal alco- hol control bill and appointed mem- bers to seek adjustment of differences in conference with representatives of the other chamber. Named to represent the House in conference were Representatives Doughton of North Carolina, Samuel B. Hill of Washington and Cullen of New York, Democrats, and Treadway of Massachusetts and Bacharach of New Jersey, Republicans, As originally passed by the House, the bill set up a new Alcohol Con- trol Administration as a division in the Treasury, despite Secretary Mor- genthau's objections. The Senate amended that to make the adminis- tration an independent agency. The House bil' would permit bona- fide clubs, hote ind restaurants to sell liquor in bul..

From both camps came declarations that plans of the opposition would foster bootlegging. | “It is easier to adulterate liquor In | bulk, in one operation, than to carry | on the innumerable operations of adulterating in bottles,” asserted Senator George, Democrat, of Georgia in charge of the bill, Robinson for Bulk Sales. “I never heard of anybody boot- legging by barrel,” was the hot reply | of Senator Robinson, Democrat, of Arkansas, majority leader. Although advised by George that Secretary Morgenthau had pleaded for ellmina- tion of barrel sales, Robinson snapped: “Bootlegging is carried on by bottle.” | Conference committeemen named by the Senate were: Harrison, King and George, Democrats; La Follette, Progressive, and Keyes.
