tinued, however, Nancy only grew
more confused. Her guides voice
was lost in the noise Of machinery,
she only knew that she was fol-
lowing blindly through a success
sion of places that were full Of heat,
racket and strange metallic odors.
Suddenly as they approached q
tool bench, she stopped short. The
young man in overalls who swung
around to stare at her was tall and
lean, with rumpled brown hair and
smiling gray eyes that looked at her
from a deeply tanned, homely face.
Tom Cantwell! Only few hours
ago she had been wondering where
he was.
She started forward, her face
shining with pleased surprise, only
to stop dead in her tracks.
For Tom Cantwell, who had
known her most of her life, looked
at her coldly for a minute, without
sign of recognition and then,
without a single word, turned his
back to her and went on with the
work he had been doing.

U. 5. Charges Hopson Used
Firms Funds for Dog Tag

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, Aug. 8.-The Gov
ernment charged yesterday that ro-
tund little Howard C. Hopson, ac-
cused of illicitly milking $4,000 900
from the billion dollar Associated
Gas g. Electric System, used cor
porate funds indirectly to pay for a
81 license for his brother-in-law's
dog.
THE system paid directly for the
rent of Mr.. Hopson's hotel apart
ment, the salary of his personal
chauffeur. The expenses of
trips to Florida, his personal tele-
phone bills and advanced cash for
his personal expenses" Special AS
sfstant United States Attorney Gen.
eral Hugh Fulton declared.
Mr.. Fulton's statement was made
as he filed two-vofume bill of
particulars charging the former
utility magnate and two associates,
indicted with him May 9 on
charges of mail fraud and conspir-
acy, with having made 200 false
statements in Associated Gas &
Electric Co. litigation in recent
years.
Asserting the 58-year-old utilities
executive was mot satisfied with
having defrauded the purchasers of
securities and with the profits made
by his service companies, the prose-
cutor added:
"Hopson resorted to the pettiness
of padding bills which were paid
directly or indirectly by companies
within the Associated System.
Other items, paid indirectly
through various companies, included
bills for food, groceries, cigars,
liquors, linens, theater tickets, hard
ware, gardening implements, fertil-
izers for Mr.. Hopson's lawn, motor
robes, medicine, cameras and
radios"
Hopson's co-defendants are
Charles M. Travis and Garrett A
Brownback, lawyers. They are
scheduled to go on trial Septem-
ber 3.

today acknowledged the loss Of
eleven bombing planes in attempts
to dislodge German troops from

British flcrs succeeded, the Brit
ish said, in blowing up munitions

supply ships, and shooting down
four German fighter planes. Two
more of these NaZi planes were be
lieved to have been destroyed and
others damaged.

full navy were clothed in secrecy.
The British announced that eight
warplanes were lost in bomber at
tacks on fleeing German ships. Two
more planes were lost at sea on the
way home, the admiralty said.
With the sealing Of the Baltic sea
by gigantic mine field planted in
its North sea approaches, the Brit
ish and French allied navies count
ed on bottling up the remaining
German fleet and thus simplifying
the job of cutting the lifeline be-
tween Germany and the naZi forces

Just one more caution. There is
still plenty of time in which 10 turn
this governors race upside down,
and nobody is urged to bet even so

of the present outlook.
With that, here goes:
If the primary were held today

Governor w. P. Horton and Commls-

the second race with Broughton.
The other four candidates would
be well behind this trio.
But-and here's perhaps the really
important factor in the situation
both Horton and Maxwell appear to
be gaining rapidly on Broughton, and
gaining at a rate which if continued
over the six weeks between now and
May Is will put both of them safely
ahead of the Raleigh man.
