German Rearming
Held Threat to East

NEW YORK, March q
G.N.SO O-Germany's rearmament
program is a threat not so much
to the Western world as to the
nations East of Germany, former
Secretary of State Bainbridge
Colby declared today. He said:
81 do not think the Situa-
tiOn involves a war menace to
Western Europe, but as to
Russia, one cannot be sure.
Japan Is crOwding Russia in
the Far East and recent vOic-
ings of Germany's policy have
indicated the expansion of
which her statesmen are
dreaming is toward the East,
not toward the West"

NEW YORK, May 14.-(UPl,
The last barriers to initiation OF
the American currency on the or
der of that which wiped out the
German mark, would be removed
by passage of the 1885 Banking
Act in its present form, the Guar
anty Trust Co., the nations third
largest bank said, yesterday in a
pamphlet published for stockhold-
erS. :,
Passage, the bank said, does
not necessarily mean that the
German mark reputation would
be duplicated by the dollar, but 1t
would make such move possible
and "under pressure of contlnu,
ing government deficits, the road
to initiation would become more
inviting, more dangerous ana
more imminent"
William c. Potter, chairman OF
the board of the bank, in a letter
accompanying the pamphlet SAID
that Title II of the Ranking Act
was the most important and the
most. dangerous part of the meas
ure. This section. he declared,
would place control of the Fed
eral Reserve banks in the hands
of political appointees, and make
any banking asset approved by
the reserve board, cover for adj
ditional currency.
The pamphlet conceded that

surance present law that required
every bank to become or apply to
become a member of the Federal
Reserve system by July l, 1887.
If this provision is enacted, it
said, Ss"it will still be possible for
states to grant charters and su-
neryise banks under the same lax
methods. that have been followed
in some sections in the past and
vet to subject the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation to the con-
sequences of these methods.
"Some bankers were led to
withdraw or modify their objec-
tions to the guarantee plan by
the consideration that it was to
be made a means of effecting uni
fication of the banking system.
While we believe that no part of
the principle of deposit guaran-
tee is sound, we regard it as re-
grettable that even this inciden-
tai advantage of the plan is now
to be swept away"
Publication of the guarantee
trusts pamphlet is the latest in
a series of attacks by bankers
upon the proposed banking bill.
Earlier in the week, the Ameri'
can Bankers association sent to
its $4,000 member banks letter
pledging vigorous opposition tC

not in the interest of the public
or of the banks.

Utilities King on Way
to D. C. in Hands
of the House

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-Howell
Colwell Hopson, elusive head of
the Associated Gas and Electric
Company, was on his way to
Washington today to tell his story
Of the utilities lobby to the House
committee headed by Representa-
tive John j. o'Connor of New
York.
Committee agents found him
yesterday somewhere in New Jer:
sey, took him into their custody
and declined to disclose where
they had kept him overnight. His
apprehension ended a search
which lasted three weeks.
It is certain that Hopson would
prefer to testify before the House
group, for O'Connor's committee
has been less rough on the utili-
ties than has the special Senate
committee headed by Senator
Hugo Black 3D. of Alabama.
Steals a March
In locating the plump, jolly
utilities executive before Blacks
investigators could get to him,
Representative O'Connor ha S
stolen a march on his Senate
rival.
It was Blacks committee which
brought out that O'Connor'S
brother, Basil O'Connor, New
York attorney and at one time
law partner of President Roose-
welt, received a $4,000 fee from
the associated system for re-
organization work.
Hopson has been hunted far
and wide ever since it was re-
vealed that his company's agent
paid for thousands of kilograms
opposing the holding company
bill and filled in signatures
taken at random from city di-
rectories.
Once he was even in Washing
ton. B. B. Robinson, Chicago
utility operator, revealed to O'Con-
nor's committee Tuesday that he
talked to Hopson in a Washing
ton hotel the night before. But
by the time investigators got
there, he was gone.
Began Back In 1908
Hopson's history as a utility
man began back in 1908, when
he was a member of the New
York State utilities commission.
After he left that body, he got
hold of Associated Gas & Elec.
trio, Inc, in 1921.
BY piling holding company on
holding company, some times
eight or ten deep, he organized a
system so complex that few of its
officers know it's ramifications.
o. E. Wasser, controller of the
company, testified that three men
control it.

FIGHT LEVY
ON LOWER
INCOMES
Break With La Toilette
On Plan Accepted
By Committee
international News Service

President Roosevelt's 400 million
dollar tax bill was further imper-
tiled today as Senator Borah (R.)
Of idaho and Senator Norris (R.)
Of Nebraska championed a move
to save the little fellow from fur
ther assaults by the Federal tax
gatherers. ....
The two veteran insurgents an
nounced their opposition to the
Senate Finance Committees pro
posal to reduce income tax and
= surtax exemptions, thereby levy
ing against hundreds OF thousands
of low paid workers.
Break with La Toilette
In attacking the Administration
proposal, the two veterans broke
with Senator La Toilette CP.) Of
Wisconsin whose program, fol-
lowed by the committee, would re-
duce exemptions from $1,000 to
$500 for single persons and from
$4,000 to $4,000 for married
couples and start surtaxes at
$4,000 instead of at $4,000 as at
present.
In making his attack on the
attempt to reach the "little fel-
low" Senator Borah said:
II am not friendly to that
part Of the Finance Commit
tee bill which reduces the ex-
emptiOns in individual income
tax returns. 1t adds to the
burden of the masses who al
ready are carrying more than
their share of the tax burden.
TAXED TOO HIGH NOW
'Neither do think we ought
to increase the rates on small
incomes. Families with small
incomes are now paying more
than their proportion Of taxes
and at the same time they are
facing an increase in prices Of
food, clothing, fuel and rent"
Senator Norris, joining with his
Western confrere, declared:
From what / have seen of
the Finance Committees tax
bill 1 would say the provision
to lower the personal exemp-
tiOns is not justified. We should
not do that. 1 doubt the
Senate will approve that pro-
vision"
The committee chairman, Sena-
