FORMER WIZARD
 IS DEAD

GREENWICH, Conn.,, Dec. 22-R Howard c. Hopson, 66, the fi- nancial wizard who created a bil- lion-dollar utilities empire that crumbled as he went to prison for mail fraud, died yesterday.
 He had been living in broken health for the past five years at a sanitarium here.
 Hopson pyramided a $300,000 in- vestment into the vast Associated Gas and Electric System by series cf financial maneuvers that baffled the nations leading accountants and lawyers.
 His personal fortune once was estimated at $74,000,000.
 But the whole intricate structure collapsed in the 1930's under searching investigation hy commit tees of Congress, and thousands of stockholders lost millions of dollars n the ash.
 The aggressive, hard-driving Hopson was convicted in New York Federal Court of defrauding A.G.&E. of nearly $20.00O,O00. He was sem fenced to five years in prison. and later to a two-year term for failure to pay $1,S86,405 on unreported profits in the stock market crash year of 1929.

 BRIGHT NOW

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22-tR-- There were some signs today of a happy New Year ahead for con- sumers-with money more plenti- ful, drop expected in pork and egg prices, and the easiest install- ment terms since the war.
 The good news. for those who like ham and eggs comes from the Department of Agriculture. It re- ported prospects of a record breaking peacetime pork supply in 1950, along with possible eight to ten-cent-a-doze drop in the cost of eggs
 The Federal Reserve Board fol- lowed that up today with a report that:
 l. "The tendency seems to be to- ward progressively easier terms for all borrowers" who are buying goods on the installment plan.
 2. It expects an expanding money supply next year. This includes bank deposits (both checking and saving) and currency in circulation. It will be swelled by large public outlays by federal, state and local governments-mad with the use of bank loans since tax income doesn't cover the cost.
 It is probable that consumers will continue to pay the same rate of income taxes and also the cost of steel products and coal is ex- pected to rise. However, these in oreases may be offset in part by the mounting Congressional drive for cut in the taxes levied on so- called luxury items"
 That would bring somewhat lower telephone bills, cheaper transporta- ton, and a saving on such other things as electric light bulbs, cos metics, leather goods and jewelry.

SEATTLE, Dec. g tR The Times said today there is quite a success story" behind the CAB. examiners recommendation that Pacific Northern Airlines be certi- fled for scheduled service Between Seattle and Alaska.
 It is predicated, of course. upon the Civil Aeronautics Board accept ing eventually the examiners re- commentators.
 Tt is a story of how a bush pilot, Arthur c. Woodley, barn. stormed into Alaska IS years ago in six-place Bellanca plane" said the Times, and built a business that now stands on the threshold of emerging as big-time.
 Alaska bush flying has been as hazardous financially as it was physically. Although he is primarily a pilot, with a long record of fighting the elements in rugged Alaska flying, Woodley has more than stood his ground in the tussle for routes.
 Now, if the CAB goes along with the examiner, Woodley's outfit will operate from Seattle to Attu."
 Times Associate Editor Ross Cunningham added the comment:
 If he (Woodley) can hold his own before the CAB, he will have route half way to the Orient from Seattle. Do his plans envisage an eventual extension to the Orient?"
 Well" Woodley responded, when you overshoot Attu you can see Tokyo. Who knows?"

EUROPE AID CUT CROWS
 IN CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22-tR- Chairman McKellar D-Tenm ot the Senate Appropriation Commit tee today joined tic growing num- Der of lawmakers who are publicly calling for sharp cut in European Recovery spending.
 He told a reporter: Apparently everybody, including Hoffman, re- al;zes there should be cut in ECA funds"
 McKellar was referring to Paul Hoffman who directs the Marshall Plan program as boss of the Eco- homie Cooperation Administration (ECA).
 The Tennessee veterans state ment came after Senator Vanden- berg of Michigan, Republic an leader in foreign affairs, urged a sharply reduced scale of spending in western Europe.
 These mounting demands from both Republicans and Democrats were in effect a warning to Europe that the golden harvest of US. dollar aid is nearing the finish.
 We want to do the right thing by our neighbors," McKellar said, but it is becoming apparent sub stantial cuts will have to be made.
 The ECA received $3,778,0 900 for aid to Western Europe this year. Some Senators believe this will be cut back at least $1,000,- cO0000 next year.
