Claims First Hoover
 Of German Descent

Berlin, Oct. 31 UP)-A memor- andum published today by Prof. Herman Macco, noted German genealogist, claimed President Her bert Hoover had been proven to be of German descent.
 Professor MaCco started to trace President Hoover's family tree last January. He paid six visits to the Palatinate where he claims he traced the presidents lineage to Andreas Huber, a native of Eller- stadt near Bad Ducrkheim, who en- igrated to America in 17SS.
 Previous efforts to trace the pres idents lineage have led to claims that the first Hoover to come to this country was Andrew Hoover who spelled his name Andreas Hoover and who settled in Maryland in 1735. Whether he was German, Dutchman or Walloon has remained the subject of genealogical contro- Nersy.
