Hull said in his letter to the committee. TITO PROMISES BROKEN. Hull said it was the opinion of this government in August, 1935, "that the Soviet government had violated its obligations not to interfere in the Internal affairs of the United States when it permitted the all-world congress of the Communist International to convene in Moscow." of the pledges made by the Soviets in the Litvinoff agreements was that the Russian government not give aid, directly or indirectly, to group in the any United States advocating overthrow of the American government by force. Hull went on to point out that "a number of cases" involving the arrest or detention of American citizens in Russia had come to the attention of the Slate department.

Hopson helped build the Assoclated Gas and Electric system into a -dollar business.

He retired as cflicer nnd director of the systom in 1935, retaining his financial interest. The liens against him and the others, filed by the government Wednesday, do not cover $5,000,000 in taxes due from companies in the gas and electric system. They may be applied on any property belonging to the persons and corporations named. NO CONNECTION WITH PROBE. The action, federal authorities said, is not connected directly with the investigation of the gas and clectric system's affairs being conducted by Hugh A.

Feb. 8 (P)-Two de(signers of the Army Air Corps' newest and fastest pursuit planes predicted today "speeds of 500 miles per hour within two years and possible 600 mile speeds by 1945." But the key to "faster than bullet" speeds, they explained, lies not in developing sufficiently powered gines to propel overcoming "man-made meteors" but in natural phenomena. "The biggest obstacle in attaining high velocities is the speed of sound, approximately 750 miles per Don Berlin, 42-year-old chief engineer of Curtis. Wright asserted. BIG CHANGES AT HIGH SPEED.

"Air gets into such a turmoil at that speed that all present characteristics of aerodynamics undergo complete change," declared the creator of the latest Curtiss "P-40," 400-mile per hour single seater, cently accepted by the air corps. "And there is where you run trouble." pointed out Robert Woods, 34-year-old designer of the Bell Atracobra, the army's 400-mlle per hour "flying cannon." "Just like the chamcteristics of boat change when it goes from frozen water, so do acrodynamics change upon reaching super-sonic speeds--those above the velocity of sound," Woods explained. PROBLEM IN BALANCE. "The shape and texture of the wings become so critical at superspeeds that if a fly or a rain drop fell on wing during the plane's flight, the entire ship would be thrown out of balance." However, Berlin added, "by streamlining and reducing the area of wings and fuselage through the use of -light devices, such AS auxiliary flaps, we'll be able to work up to speeds close to those of sound."
