 Fields is the young conductor whose rapid rise during the last year has been one of the sensations of radio. His method of playing, which has come to be known as ''rippling rhythm, came to him suddenly one night when he was slipping an ice cream soda with his wife.

EFFECT or BILL
ON UTILITY SUIT
is GIVEN STUDY
,VanNuyS Calls for Hearing
on Bankruptcy Law
Amendments.
BY DANIEL VI. KIDNEY
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, May 21.-Hear-
ing on whether or not the retroac-
tive VanNuys amendments to the
bankruptcy law would save Howard
C. Hopson's Associated Gas and
Electric Co., from a long pending
creditors suit has been set by the
Senate judiciary Subcommittee for
today.
This action was taken by Senator
Frederick VanNuys 3D., Ind, sub
committee chairman who handled
the many legslistic amendments in
the Senate upon their passage last
week.
The bill was in the House when
the Indiana Senator was informed
of the possible effect on the Asso-
cisted suit which has been in liti-
cation Ia New York Federal courts
for a year and half.
Based on Old Statute
That suit was brought under the
old statute which provides that any
three creditors representing $1,000
in debts can go to court for an ac-
counting and ask for a receivership.
Such action was taken against
Hopson's top holding company by
three bond holders. The company
countered by alleging bad faith. APP
peals have kept the matter in liti-
CATION. Thus far the bond holders
have been upheld, Mr.. VanNuys was
informed.
Under amendments to the bank
ruptCy act, debtors bringing such
a suit must represent 5 per cent of
the total Indebtedness of the COM
pany and Senator VanNuys made
this provision retroactive.
When representatives of the cred
itors in the New York suit pointed
out that this would give the COM
pany an avenue Of escape which
they have been seeking, Mr.. Van
Mugs had the bill brought back from
the House and moved it's recon-
sideration.
Action Rests On Hearing
He then set the date for hearing,
Should it be shown that this
case will be placed in jeopardy, as
is contended, l will ask that the
retroactive amendment be with
drawn from the BILL" Mr.. Van
Mugs said.
The Treasury will be represented
at the hearing because of the in
terest, from a taxation standpoint,
of making the per cent provision
retroactive Mr.. VanNuys said.
Hopson gained notoriety among
the Senators last session by playing
hide and seek with the Senate Lobby
Investigating Committee.
