er's proposals to Groesebok. This
proposal was for:
" 'Whispering campaign' de-
signed to create popular suspic-
ion that the New Dealers and
especially the New-Dealer-in-chief
are either incompetent or insane,
discrediting them in the same
way that Michaelson so success
fully discredited Hoover."
The reference to Michaelson ap
parently was to Charles Michael-
son, chief publicity man for the
Democratic National committee.
Cramer said he now believed
the suggestion was "unsound'' and
should not have been included.
This testimony came as the
House prepared for a roll call
vote on the "death lentence and
a« Bernard Robinson, Chicago se-
curities dealer, calmly told the
companion House investigation
that on Sunday night he talked
by long-distance telephone to
IIowar«J C. Hopson, missing head
of the vast Associated Gas &
Electric Co.
Senate investigators have
sought vainly to serve a sub-
pena on Hopson to compel him
to testify.
Robinson said that when Hop-
son telephoned, "I told him not to
tell me where he was." He said
he would tell Hopson's where-
abouts if he knew, but that "if
I started to look, it might be in
Scarsdale, N. Y., or Miami Beach,
Fla."
In connection with Cramer's
Senate testimony, it was recalled
that Democratic leaders were dis-
turbed a few weeks ago over an
epidemic of rumors about the
president's health and emotional
condition.
Circulation of these rumors was
followed by a barrage of news-
paper stories refuting the reports
in every respect. Black put copies
of some of these dispatches in
the record.
Cramer cut in to say that "I
wrote that letter back in March
and I don't think the "whisper-
ing campaign' began until about a
month ago.
Blamed on Women
Sources of the rumors current
in past weeks have been quietly
investigated but nothing tangible
disclosed. Some Democrats, how-
ever, believed those rumors orig-
inated with two unnamed women
who reputedly circulated derega-
tory stories about Alfred E.
Smith during the 1928 presiden-
tial campaign.
Some Democrats also believe
a nationally circulated confiden-
tial tip sheet to business men
contributed to the Roosevelt ru-
mors. About a month ago this
tip sheet said the president was
"emotionally unstable" and inti-
mated that he was changing hia
mind so fast that advisers could
not keep up with his plans.
Cramer, a quiet-spoken, slender
man with close-cropped hair, said
he sent a copy of the Groesbeek let-
ter to Hugh S. MuGill, chairman of
Ihe Amcriacn Federation of Utili-
ty investors.
"Very shortlv after I wrote the
letter," he said, "I thought I'd elim-
inate Ihe suggestion for a *whl P'
ering campaign.' I didn't approve
of it.
"But you were too late," said
Sen. Lews B. Schweltenbach, D.,
Wash., "the Electrc Bond and
Share and other power companies
had already started this malicious
campaign."
"Not that I know of," Cramer re-
plied.
"Practically every suggestion in
your program has been followed
out, hasn't it?" Black asked.
"I wouldn't say that," Cramer
replied. "I want an unaclfish lob-
by."
Wrote McGill
"Oh," Schwellenbach said sar-
castically, "one that goes around
telling people that the president is
insane."
"No."
"It wasn't long after you sent
the letter to MaUill that this 'whis-
pering campaign' began," Black
continued.
"Well," Cramer said, "I sent the
letter late in March and the "whis-
pering campaign' didn't begin un-
til a few weeks ago."
"It worked, didn't it?"
"I don't know whether it was a
case of cause and effect."
"Who suggested it to you?"
"No one."
Cramer testified he discussed his
plan with a "Mr. Walker," assist-
ant to Groesbeek at the New York
offices of Electric Bond and Share.
Walker, he sr>l, agreed to take the
suggestions under consideration.
E. V. Sellers, NRA employe, who
testified before the Senate commit-
tee that he saw Rep. Nat Patton,
D., Tex., leave the room of oJhn
W. Carpenter, president of the
Texas Power & Light Co., with a
"mysterious box" appeared today
before the House committee."
He reiterated his Senate testi-
mony but said that he "did not
have the slightest idea" whether
the box contained cigars or some-
thing else but said that Norman
Shook, the congressman's nepew,
had informed him two days after
the incident that "hell, that box
did not contain cigars."
Black asserted that "practically
all' of Cramer's suggestions had
been adopted. In addition to the
whispering campaign Cramer's
proposals to Groesbeek, made in
his capacity as holder of 100 Elec-
tric Bond and Share stock, includ-
ed:
"A publicity chairman to enlight-
en the public in words of one syl-
lable on the perils and fallacies of
the New Deal."
"Balance the budget, encourage
business to do away with govern-
ment bureaus."
"Engage an outstanding national
figure, like Nicholas Murray But-
ler, James M. Beck, or Newton D
Baker."
Black said the Edison Institute
"employed Beck and Baker and
paid them $35,000."
"Do you still think there should
be a congressional investigation of
New. Bitter Drive
aoaivst Jews Set
for Nazi Backing
Copyright 1935 by United Press
BERLIN, July 27 (U.R)—A new,
bitter drive against Jews was
believed imminent today.
It was indicated that, though
the Nazi drive would continue for
suppression of "political" activi-
ties by the Roman Catholic
church, the evangelical opposi-
tion to Nazification of religion,
the Stahlhelm war veterans' or-
ganization, the Socialist and Com-
munist underground organization
and unfavorable university
stqbzmts' corps, the Jews would
be the chief targets of attack.
For four and a half hours,
Julius Stgeicher, bald, implacablo
leader of the anti-Jewish drive,
addressed a national congress of
school teachers in Mjanich last
night.
He left no ioubt in the, minds
of those who hea/4 him that re-
cent attacks on Jews, which have
aroused world interest, were but
forerunners of the campaign to
come.
Into bis speech was read a
plain bid for appointment by
Adolf Hitler to the post of na-
tional anti-Semite leader.
His words indicated also that
he confidently believed that he
was going to get the post and
that, when he got it, he would
effect the threats he has made in
his speeches and articles.
Streicher, 50, chief editor of
the anti-Jewish weekly "Der
Stuermer," a former school
teacher himself, not only told
his fellow teachers that Nazis
wanted to suppress Jewry but
he attacked the churches in gen-
eral because they did not, too.

Mussolini in
Personal Note
to League Body
ROME, July 27 (U.PJ—In a re-
ply written personally by Pre-
mier Benito Mussolini, Italy today
sent to the League of Nations a
request for clarification of the
aims of the special council meet-
ing to be held July 31.
A foreign office spokesman
said the Italian note contained
two questions:
1. Whether the council was
meeting to discuss the unusual
incident of last December and
means of facilitating a resump-
tion of the work of the mixed
conciliation commission on the
Italo-Ethiopian dispute.
2. Whether the agenda of the
meeting were based on different
plans. In this were so, Italy ex-
pects to be informed of the exact
contents of the agenda.
The spokesman added that
Italy's present attitude should not
be interpreted as an indication
that it will refuse tc attend the
council meeting.

State Tests on
Texas Refineries
KILGORE, July 29. (U.R)—Six
engineers employed by the Texas
Railroad Commission today began
making yield tests of East Texas
refineries, it was announced by
H. A. Miles, the vrnmission's
chief enforcement officer.
Miles said the men would work
in three parties of two men each
and would take about 15 days to
complete the tests. The engineers
he said, were transferred here
temporarily from the Panhandle
division.
• While the tests are being made
refineries will be allowed to use
only steel tanks, Miles said, and
checks will be made 2* hours of
the day for shipments.

Crowds See Man
Shot to Death
from Big Cannon
SANTA MONICA, Calif., July 27
(U.R) — That the crowds at Ocean
Park might have something to
thrill over, James Miller climbed
into a cannon yesterday afternoon
and was projected through the air.
Out over the ocean he went for 125
feet, and then into the water.
Miller sank immediately. His
body has not been found. Ed Un-
ger, whose duty was to pull the hu-
man "cannon ball" out of the water
after the act, reached the spot
where Miller struck too late.
"I cou)d see him in the water,"
Unger said. "He wasn't moving at
all. I got a hold of his hair but it
slipped and then I didn't see him
again."
Cliff Gregg, in charge of the act,
said Miller. 24, had performed the
stunt several times. The idea was
to make a neat dive into the ocean,
but Miller failed to split the water
cleanly. Instead, he apparently was
knocked unconscious by the impact.
His home was believed to be in
Boston.
