Hodson Stock RecoveFyS Suit Neors CIimox
 Lowlor Objects
 In Duel Role,
 To Questions

Irlal or the $Go, ,UUU Stock recovery suit brought by Gladys c. Hodson of Waterbury against her ex-hus- band, Frederick B. Hodson, and At- torney William K. Lawlor, both Of this city, is expected to be concluded before Judge Charles J. Mclaughlin in Superior Court this afternoon.
 Novel Procedure
 Today's hearing was marked by novel procedure wherein Attorney Lawlor, Q defense witness, objected from the witness stand to questions asked, on the ground that he was counsel as well as witness.
 The suit was instituted by Mrs. Hodson in on attempt to obtain 50 shares of stock in the James W. Hod- son O., Inc, in accordance with Q court judgment issued April %, ie4l when she was divorced. The defen- dants claim the stocks are not trans ferable because of prior indebtedness which has tied them up.
 Attorney Irving Johnson claimed today that in the event c transfer is made Mrs. Hodson should pay money that has been advanced by the corporation to her ex-husband and also the amounts paid by the corporation on debts of Hodsorl to Q local bank.
 Alleged advancements made by the corporation to HodSon were the subject of testimony today by Lawlor who is also treasurer and general manager of the corporation. Among the items enumerated was Q bill sent to the corporation for oil de. livered to the Hodson home.
 The court limited the listing of debts to cover only the period from May 1, i9S6, when the Hodson cor- poration was formed, to April 20, lS4l, the date of the divorce judg- ment.
 The jurlst stated he would like to see some documentary records of the corporation which would show that the corporation was authorized to pay some of the money of Fred erlck Hodson.
 It was the defense claim that records of the corporation did not have Q place in the current litiga- ton and the financial status of the organization should not enter into the action until an accounting is ordered.
 The court likewise indicated q desire to hear evidence that the cor- poration has Q lien on stock of Hod- son.
 CrOss.E s.Exaninatlon At the close of the morning ses- sion Atty. Lawlor, while under cross examination, objected to ques- tions asked by Atty. Edward Mas colo, plaintiffs counsel. He claimed he had Q right to object since he had not just Q witness but also counsel in the case for himself and the other defendant. The court up. (ContlnUed on Page D

 Unoble To Cope
 With Notionolists
BY JOHN D. TOWER United Press Staff Corresponds

ShNANCA egsA GheSeh SVsAVnNydANssN
 Batavia, oct i7- (Up)-. Armed Javanese Nationalists have ran- sacked tho village Of Depok. i5 miles south of Batavia, where GOO terri. fled Christian villagers covered to- day In fear of an imminent re. newal of the attack.
 An organized band of 800 Nation- alists, armed with rifles, swords, ma chine guns and grenades, carted off an unknown number of men from the predoniinantly Christian village of Depok, apparently as hostages. British troops were dispatched to. day Co Dopok for an attempt to rescue the Chrlstlans who reported they were unable Co cope with ofI- slaughts made on the village throughout the last six days.
 A British communique reported that the Nationalist mob killed iB European men and women in Depok last night. Other sources said 20 villagers were slain while others took to the woods and rice fields in an attempt to escape the enFaged IndoneSians.
 Systematic Mobblng
 This correspondent made c trip to Depok today and found that sizeabie sections Of 1t had been wrecked. Residents said the mobSters systematically went through the houses footing and killing.
 Maj. Trevor Picard of the British occupation forces stopped the auto mobile in which this correspondent was driving toward Depok along the highway leading to Buitenzorg. He warned against the danger of snip. CTS.
 Picard said he was in command of 60 durkhas who had been fight ing off Nationalist attacks since last night.
 Just before arrived at Depok, Snipers shot three European girls who were being driven out of the village in Q truck. One was killed and the other two were injured seriously.
 Near the highway where a side- road branched off to Depok, 300 refugees huddled together, waiting for the arrival of the British or anything that would ease their plight. Six hundred still were in the village.
 On the way back to Batavia I passed Q company of British troops coming Up to deal with the mob, five of whose leaders had been arrested. A convoy of trucks also was being sent to rescue the beleaguered in- habltantS.
 Depok residents said the village first was attacked-apparently for no other reason than that 1t was a Christian community, six days ago.
 The villagers said the hostages were taken to Buitenzorg. They be- lieved the attack was well organiz- ed and designed primarily to take hostages from an area loyal to the Dutch which had refused to hoist

If you have any cake crumbs

Dried fruits, rich in their nat

you need your sugar for canning

Add a lot of salt to frostings,

Have you tried honey to glaze

BY OK TEAM! STARTS

IN lS47, Mormon pioneers in Utah, cut of
from the world, needed sugar desperately.
They undertook to make it themselves.
They made various unsatisfactory at
tempts to get ''sweetening" by boiling
down" squash, carrots, melons, cornstalk.
Then, in 1851, Brigham Young, leader
OF the Mormons, sent word to his foreign
missionaries to investigate beet sugar
manufacturing. AS result, John Taylor,
one of the European missionaries, bought
on his own account for modest sum,
sugar-making outfit in France and sent it
by sailing vessel to New Orleans and then
by steamboat up the Mississippi river to
Fort Leavenworth. Then it went by OK
team to Wyoming. But now funds were
exhausted. The outfit was purchased by
the Mormon church which moved it to
squat little building on the outskirts of
Salt Lake, now a suburb known as Sugar
House. There, in modest fashion, was
born the great beet sugar industry of
America
Today, under. the name Utah-Idaho
Sugar Company, this pioneer of beet sugar
manufacture, is of immense operations in
Washington, Montana, South Dakota, as
well as Utah and Idaho-ll factories in
five states, producing annually 300 mil
lion pounds of U and sugar.
Utah-Idaho Sugar Company, now of
world fame, is an important, valued Gus
toner of The National Bank of Commerce
of Seattle.
