Chicago, Nov. 5,-CUP)-You'd never take the man for a genius juSt to look at him.
 He hasn't any of the standard genius equipment, such as sheepdog haircut. big forehead and bigger glasses, firecracker temperament, or love of secluSion and peace.
 He's six feet one, weighs ls0, is trim as a sail, has a wife and a two-year-old baby girl, blond, curly hair, a southern drawl, two taped ribs and a bruised shoulder.
 This genius name is Don Hut son, and he's a football genius,
 He plays end for the Green Bay Packers in the pro league and there never has been one like him, Foot balls been going on for a long time, but until Hutson came out of Ar kansas on slow train five years ago to burn up the league, no one had made the catching of a for ward pass an art.
 Record Maker
 During his time with the Packers he has made more records than the Victor Company, and gained enough yards to carry him to Key West had he always run in a straight line. He is the most feared man in the league, and when the packers are on the offense, and Don goes down the field, two, not one, defenders trail him.
 I met this genius today while l was on the way to stuff a ballot box eff John Quincy Adams doesn't win I've wasted my time) and had a talk with him. He still was bit shaky from the beating he took from the Chicago Bears here on Sunday. but obligingly tried to an- swer the questions I asked him concerning his amazing ability.
 His answers weren't very illum- mating because he simply does1l t know how he, Don Hutson of Pine Bluff, became the greatest pass re- ceiver in the world.

Steve Owen, telling me that it was Hutson's trick of not reaching for the ball until the very last moment-and then reaching for it with a cat-like-stah -that enabled him to deceive de- lenders.
 "That helps" Hutson said.

BY FRED H. MORHART, Jr.

to let contracts for SO combat ships,
costing s750,O00, 900, within an hour
after President Roosevelt signs the

son revealed today.

Navy Is undermining many of its
first-line fighting ships for better
defense against air attack. This
modernization program was begun
by Mr.. Edison after he had wit
messed fleet problem 81" this spring
in the Pacific Ocean.
The new ships will be 3 aircraft
carriers, 4 heavy and light cruisers,
80 destroyers and % submarines.
This program is exclusive of the one
announced recently, which included
% ships, costing 1927 100000.
Mr.. Edison said, in his farewell
press conference, that he was highly
pleased with the Navy building pro-
gram authorized at this session of
Congress. His resignation becomes

Compton to Retain Post.
Mr.. Edison left the secretaryship
to run for Governor of New Jersey.
He said today that his assistant sec
retary. Lewis Compton, will remain
at his post in Washington. Mr..
Compton was former associate of
Mr.. Edison in New Jersey.
In discussing a new system of ne
gotiating contracts, Mr.. Edison said
he expected three features advan-
tageous to the Navy over. the old
competitive bidding system. He pre-
dicted financial saving, an in
creased speed of building and a
Standardization of shipbuilding. He
pointed out that the negotiated con-
tracts under the new program
would save s23 900 ,O00-the approx
innate cost of a light cruiser. In ad-
dition, he said, from six to eight
months was expected to be cut from
building time
Mr.. Edison revealed that three
armor manufacturers had been asked
to add more equipment to their
plants to handle the increased build
ing program. He said he did not
think armor was q serious bottle
neck in the program.
Reveals Pressure to Sell Plant.
He disclosed that considerable
pressure had been placed on the
Navy in the past to sell its South
Charleston CW. Va) armament
plant. He said that he turned a
cold shoulder to all such attempts
and pointed out the Navy now was
delighted to have these extra facili-
ties for manufacturing armor. The
plant was built during the World
War, but never put into commits
sion.
The Secretary declared that there
was more pressure on the Navy to
sell its old destroyers several years
ago than at present. He revealed
that all the old, recommissioned de-
stroyers now are at sea on active
neutrality patrol. OF the Ill old
