$3,187,000 Paid to Utility Head Although. Stock Did Not Always Pay Dividend By Xathan Robertson Associated Press Staff WASHINGTON Aug. 20 -Threatened with contempt proceedings if he did not answer questions, Howard C. Hopson agreed today that he and his family had drawn profits of $3.187,000 from the Associated Gas and Electric System from 1929 1933 inclusive. The testimony was elicited in the senate lobby investigation, through persistent interrogation by Senator Schwellenbach (D- Wash).

Hopson acknowledged that during- half the time covered, the utility system under him was not paying dividends on its stock. The earnings were made by private companies owned by him and his family which sold services to companies in the system. It was the first time he had agreed publicly to his profits. He had characterized them as inaccurate before the house rules committee. After the hearing recessed until tomorrow, Schwellenbacn told newsmen the evidence so far disclosed profits of from 1926 to 1933 to Hopson and J.

I- Mange He said more would be discovered later. Hopson contended throughout, however, that the great bulk of the profits were only "paper profits" and that he never actually realized on them. Schwellenbach said many others also failed to cash in on their profits when they had them. Tension pervaded the hearing. At the outset the committee warned the witness it would "no longer permit him" to evade questions or make speeches, and unless he complied additional contempt citation be presented ia the senate.

One already impends against him there, as well as against William A Kill, of his counsel. The latter was close by his sine today, as were othsi advisors. Across the way sat Chc-Jey W. Jurney. senate sergeant-at-arms wlio makes contempt arrests.

Filibuster May Halt Congress (Continued from Page One) Harrison estimated these taxes bring- in 5265,000,000 year. But he added the bill's vision permitting corporations deduct from their incomes gifts made to charitable organizations would reduce the total by $15,000. President Roosevelt had vigr- orously opposed such deductions. A Major Step Adjustment by tie conferees or House and Senate differences over the legislation was regarded oy leaders as a major step towaru quick adjournment. The House will act first on too conferees' report.

Chairman Doughton of the Ways and Means committee estimated it woula OB Thursday before the agreement could be called up on the House floor. "I think we've got a blamed good bill," he told reporters. Asked why the inheritance tax left out, he that the President wanted it included but added: "It looked like three of the Senate conferees--I won't tell you who they were--were going to hold out agrainst the inheritance tax. We would have had to report a disagreement, so we finaiiy yielded. "Of course, if we think it is necessary we can do soraetnins about it next session." Estimate of E-evense These were Harrison's estimates i of the revenue the bill would produce: Corporation income Capital stock -Income surtax Excess profits Fstatc-gift 5102,000,000 Intercorporate dividends 29,000,000 Total Monitor-Index gives you what you the netvs.
