Movie Magnate Gives Sen ate Committee Insight On Troubles Found in Effort to Avert Bankruptcy WASHINGTON, Nov. 24. (AP) William Fox told senate Investigators today that Claudius Huston, when chairman of the Republican national "' eommHtoe, conferred with Albert H. Wig gin, chairman of the Chase Na tional bank, In an effort to get fi nancial help for the movie magnate. Fox, who lost control of 1000 movie houses through financial difficulties, added that Huston returned and aald Wlggln had turned him down with the statement to "tell the president to mind his own business." Resented Interference. Huston, Fox said, reported that Wlggln had told him he "resented Mr. Hoover's Interference In this mat ter." This testimony was given by the re--tlred movie owner as part of the sec ond reel of the drama he was unfold ing before the senate banking com mittee to support charges of a bank ing conspiracy to take hla properties away from him. "Bear in mind." Fox told the com mittee, "these men In 1929 were almighty." "They were not working under the regime that we are working under now. There was no new deal then. WIgRin AH-Powerful. "The Chase bank had a huge capi talization and Wlggln felt himself powerful enough to say to the presi dent: " 'I resent his Interference In this matter.' Fox said he also saw Clarence Dil lon, head of Dillon, Read and com pany, "while peddling my wares down the lower end of Broadway," seeking financial aid -to save his companies. Dillon, Fox said, warned him to give up his voting shares or he would find some one else In charge of his com panies. Fox also told of asking aid from Richard Hoyt, a partner of Hayden Btone and company, which had done some Fox financing. When he received an unsympa thetic response. Fox said he told Hoyt: "Perhaps you would like to cut out one of my kidneys." "I would like to cut both of them out," Fox quoted Hoyt as replying. Banker Conspiracy Seen, Yesterday, Fox charged he was . forced out of the movie business by I a conspiracy of bankers. He men ' tloned Halaey-Stuart and company, Wlggln, John Otterson, an official of the American Telephone and Tele graph company, and others. Today Fox said Otterson advised him not to worry as he would arrange with Dillon "not to do anv funny tricks here." In another conference with Dillon, Read and Company, Fox said he found he "wasn't in the hands of friends" and withdrew when they demanded 1,500,000 In collateral for a (500.000 loan. "It looked fishy to me." he added. Huston Offered Aid. Finally, Fox said, Huston appeared and offered to help. "I asked him to return to Wash Irjrton ard report the situation," Fox said. "When he came back a few days later, I Inquired whether he had done so and he said he had in a gen eral way. "He said he was going to see Albert Wlggln and could adjust the trouble with him." Then Fox told of the reply he said . Huson brought back from Wlggln. i Fox said the Hoover administration was against letting hla. companies go Into receivership. "The last thing the president want ed was for a corporation with assets of $300,000,000 to be plunged Into re ceivership." he added. "I considered Huston as the agent of the president to prevent this receivership!" joe 4CAK ym "Christopher Bean," opening to-1 morrow for a four-day run at the Craterian theater, has beloved Marie Dreasler in her first appearance after her 62nd birthday, which Is being celebrated throughout the country.

BALL CARRIER HANDICAP RULE IRKS GRID CHIEFS Bf ALAN GOULD. (Associated Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK. Nov. 34. (AP) The main suggestion that college football captains and stars have to offer to the national rules-makers Is that the present regulation which checks the ball-carrier. If and when any part of his body except his handa or feet touches the ground, be abolished for 1934. Polled by the Associated Press, the players say this feature of the modern rules, designed to protect the ball carrier from Injury, has been tried and found wanting. Forty out of some 70 individuals who expressed their opinions desire its elimination. They Insist, not only that It has failed to accomplish its purpose, but robbed the game of spectacular thrilla for the spectator and handicapped the of fense unnecessarily. Three of the leading captains who express disappointment over the ef fect of this rule are Pete Zlmmer of Chicago, Joe Buonanno of Brown and Phil outer of Dartmouth. Thirteen players also advocate the repeal of the "dead ball" provision as It now prevents the defense from running with a recovered fumble; nine others think the offense should be permitted to pass from any point behind the scrimmage line. Instead of being restricted to passing from five yards behind the line; and four favor bringing the goal posts back to their original position or the goal line. Only sixteen players uxpreed themselves as completely satisfied with the present rules and among these were a number who urged that the officials be more consistent In their enforcement of the gridiron code.

The real reason why the plan was held back so long was that RFC Insiders have been disputing for nearly a year whether slums clearance will have a very harmful effect on other city real estate. The recent exposure of a racketeer who was supposed to be selling Wash ington influence he did not have, touched only one part of a bad sore spot. The one consolation about that situation Is that the only ones who get fleeced are those who should be. Washington Influence la not, pur chasable that way.
