HOOVER'S EFFORTS
FOR FOXJS CLAIP!
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!"

10 AIR TROUBLES
PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 24. (AP)
With no definite course of action
planned, and once more operating
without the direction of a president,
the state board of higher education
met here today.
It had been freely predicted the
board would officially enter the con
troversy which result l recently In
the resignation of Roscoe C. Nelson,
president of the board, after the Uni
versity of Oregon faculty, led by Dean
Wayne L. Morse of the law school,
had demanded that he quit.
Chancellor W. J. Kerr, whose res
ignation likewise was demanded by
Dean Morse, was to attend the meet
ing which was scheduled to open at
2 p. m. Dr. Kerr last Wednesday had
a long conference with Governor Jul
ius L. Meier In Salem. Neither would
reveal the point of discussion. It
was assumed generally, however. It
concerned the Untversity-Kerr-Nelson
situation.
Will ard Marks, vice president of
the board, was to preside at today's
session. Governor Meier Intimated
last week that It would be several
days before a successor to Nelson
would be appointed.

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 Detroit allotment is only the
first of the slums projects to be an
nounced. 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.

"I have suffered from terrible

tried everything and nothing had
Bny lasting results. Very reluc

no faith in it at all. Much to my

any medicine since starting to use
All-Bran, 4 months ago." Mrs
Doris Eyre King, 16 Abbey Road

Laboratory tests show All-Bran
contains two things which over
come constipation: "Bulk" to ex
ercise the intestines; vitamin. B tc
help tone the intestinal tract.
The "bulk" In All-Bran Is mucl
like that of leafy vegetables. In
side the body, it forms a soft mass
which gently clears the intestine!
