MISSING POWER co. MAN HOPSON
 TOLD HIS STORY
Chubby Mystery Man Had Besa S lsl,t { for ? sells
 to Testify

Washington, Aug. 13.--(UP)- Howard C.. Hopson, chubby, beam ing mystery man" of the con gressional lobby Investigation, sedately folded his hands on the house committee table to-day and told in a clear, earnest voice how "eager" he was to further a $1,- s00,000. campaign against the Wheeler Rayburn utility bill.
 The elusive, sun-tanned Hopson strolled into the committee room nine minutes late-where full house of congressman, newspaper men and spectators awaited him as the climax of weeks of search by subpoena-servers throughout the east.
 Seemed at Ease
 Smiling and at ease, the reputed- ly dominant figure in Associated Gas and Electric Co.,, intoned into the microphone some detailS about his life, place of residence and his rise with the A. c. E. He tried to explain to the committee the complex, and involved finer work ings of the giant company which has baffled many experts.
 Asked about B. B. Robinson, Chicago securities man working against the utility bill, Hopson said he was eager to aid Robinson's work. The A. G. E. spent some $S05,000 in the campaign.
 Hopson estimated gross earnings of the Associated Gas and Electric system at $100,oo0,oO0 annually.
 "Is it not correct to say that you and MT. Mange own the (AGE) system," Chairman John J. o'Con- nor asked.
 T don't think so," Hopson re- piled. 1T don't think there is word of truth in this hooey spread by brain trusters and theory ex- perts that we own or control the system"
 He admitted he and Mange owned all the stock of the top holding company, lock, steel and barrel.

JEW BANS By TWO
Stock Brokers Barred and
"Aryan" Wives Allowed

BY Radio TO The Star,

BERLIN, Germany, November a.
The economic determination of Ger
man Jews took two more steps forward
today. DR.. Hjalmar Schacht, Reich
economic dictator, has forbidden Jews
to act as stock brokers from today on
tional-Socialist JuriStS, to which all
lawyers of Germany must belong, has
ordered its members to terminate all
partnership with Jewish lawyers as
soon as possible. Failure to comply
with this order will be dealt with
by courts of honor" of the associa-
tion.
Meanwhile the appellate court Of
Berlin has struck still another blow
at marriages between Jews and
Aryans by ruling that a Jewish
husband cannot compel his Aryan
wife to return to him If they have
been separated.
Husband Loses Fight.
A Jewish husband and his Aryan
wife had been separated one year
while divorce proceedings were pend
ing. The divorce was refused, but
the wife declined to return to her
husband. The husband then brought
suit to compel his wife to return to
him-which the German courts will
do in certain circumstances.
The court refused to grant the hus-
bands request. Even though the
Nuremberg laws have no retroactive
effect" said the court, "yet by the

Maj. Gen. Amos A. Fries told the
Conduit Road Citizens Association
last night they do mot object to the
teaching of Russian history to school
children, but do object to subversive

Nine. CantacuZene, who married a
Russian prince and lived for 20 years

ences which led to the revolution In
Russia with conditions in the United
States today She drew parallel be-
tween pacifist and disarmament prop
aganda sent into Russia to undermine
the government with similar propa-
ganda she claimed is being spread in
the United States through schools
and universities.
Behind many of the pacifist organ
izations, she contended, was the Com
munists' International organization.
Gen. Fries centered his attack ON
the Scholastic. a magazine compul-
sorry in several classes in Washington
high schools. He cited a report by
the Civic Counsel of Defense of Cali

BY the Associated Press.


Edward J. Harding, managing di-
rector of the Associated General Con-
tractors of America. criticized the
works program and the Resettlement
Administration in a statement yester-
day.
Asserting that made work" has ab-
sorbed too much of the $4,000, 900, 900
program. at the expense of useful
public works, Harding predicted that
the contractors at their convention in
Miami January 1915 would demand
that facilities of private enterprise be
used in carrying out any future emer-
gency works program.
Harding also saw in the recent reor-
sanization of the Resettlement Admin
istration. in which a contractor" for
construction undertaken by the bu-
reau was named. an indication that

tracing business.

application Of analogy to the mean
ing and purpose of the laws which
forbid future marriages between
Aryans and Jews it becomes appar-
ent that 1t would be legal abuse II

Aryan wife, who lives separated from
him, to re-establish their life In COM

Extends Law Application.
This decision extends the applica-
ton Of anti-Jewish laws in Germany
in a way which indicates how the
policy in the Third Reich habitually
operates in this field. Anti-Jewish
laws themselves are only very small
part of policy, and party and govern
ment administrative officials natural
ly go even further beyond the strict
text of the laws than the courts do.

BY HENRY McELMORE

United Press Staff Correspondent) New York, Dec 3-A citizen of Honolulu has written to ask that one of my lyrical essays be devoted to football and how she is played in Hawaii. He says the islands are. downright daffy over the game, and that to ignore them is to ignore one of the hottest hot-beds of the sport anywhere.
 The request is a pretty large one.
 I've never been to Hawaii, and I'm afraid that even if l had 1 never would have seen football game. Is a grand sport, and builds much muscle an character, but from what I've heard of Honolulu that beach is the place to be on Satur- day afternoons, what with those alfalfa panted dolls sashayin' around and humming torch songs.
 New Interest
 The very fact that thousands of Honolulu citizens forego the beach to sit in a stadium and watch the halfbacks and not the dolls hula hula, is proof the game has got 'em, and made genuine football lberts of them. No other sport drives its followers quite as daffy as football. Your true gridiron goopie will en- dure weather conditions which would have driven Washington out of Valley Forge, Noah to tthe c deck of his ark, and Admiral Byrd to his sos device.
 Name me any other sport besides football which would have compel led its followers to endure the bliz- gard that struck Palmer stadium for the Princeton Dartmouth game. There was snow,, sleet, and how'll ing north wind It was so cold that had Dan McGrew been there with his honey, the lady known as Lou. and sitting on the 50-yard line, he'd h..ye left before the end of the quarter. But as the finish of the gcme the 60,0O0 football filberts, fortified with only 8 few drams of anti-freeze mixture, still were there, looking pneumonia and death by ex- posture squarely in the face.
 But Q blizzard is long way of the road from Hawaiian football. And being so far of, might as well up and rate the 1885 football teams. In my book Minnesota is the No. l club. And I can't see how the Goph- CTS can be anything else in yours, even though you be Princeton or an S.M.U. man. They haven't lost since Dewey got his big parade. and they've won with every weapon known to football. A champion is supposed to have it all. Apparently the Gophers have. They've won with
