This proposal was for: 'Whispering campaign' designed to create popular suspicion that the New Dealers and especially the New-Dealer-in-chief are cither incompetent or insane, discrediting them in the same way that Michaelson so successfully discredited Hoover." The reference to Michaelson apparently was to Charles Michaelson, 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 sentence and as Bernard Robinson, Chicago securities dealer, calmly told the companion House investigation that on Sunday night he talked by long-distance telephone to Howard 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 Hopson telephoned, "I told him not to tell me where he was." He said he would tell Hopson's where- if he knew, but that "if I started to look, it might be in Scarsdale, N. or Miami Beach, Fla." In connection with Cramer's Senate testimony, it was recalled that Democratic leaders were disturbed 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 newspaper 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 "whispering 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- evm-, believed those rumors originated with two unnamed women who reputedly circulated derogatory stories about Alfred E.

Smith during the 1928 presidential campaign. Some Democrats also believe a nationally circulated confidential tip sheet to business men contributed to the Roosevelt rumors. About a month ago this tip sheet said the president was "emotionally unstable" and intimated 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 Groesbeck let- ter to Hugh S. MaGill, chairman of the Ameriacn Federation of Utility investors.

"Very shortlv after I wrote the letter," he said, "I thought I'd eliminate the suggestion for a 'whispering I didn't approve of it. "But you were too late," said Sen. Lews B. Schwellenbach, "the Electrc Bond and Share and other power companies had already started this malicious campaign." that I know of," Cramer replied. "Practically every suggestion in your program has been followed out, hasn't it?" Black asked.

"I wouldn't say that," Ciamer replied. "I want an unselfish lobby." Wrbte McGill "Oh," Schwellenbach said sarcastically, "one that goes around telling people that the president i insane." "No." "It wasn't long after you sent the latter to MaGill that this 'whispering campaign' began," Black continued. "Well," Cramei said, "I sent the letter late in March and the "whispering campaign' didn't begin until 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 lie discussed his plan with a "Mr. Walker," assistant to Groesbeck at the New York offices of Electric Bond and Share. Walker, he srl, agreed to take the suggestions under consideration.

V. Sellers, NRA employe, who testified before the Senate committee that he saw Rep. Nat Patton, leave the room of oJhn W. Carpenter, president of the Texas Power Light with a "mysterious box" appeared today before the House committee." He reiterated his Senate testimony but said that he "did not have the slightest idea" whether the box contained cigars or something else but said that Normal) 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 Groesbeck, made in his capacity as holder of 100 Electric Bond and Share stock, included: "A publicity chairman to enlighten the public in words of one syllable on the perils and falbcics of the New Deal." "Balance the budget, encourage business to do away with government bureaus." "Engage an outstanding nationa figure, like Nicholas Murray Butler, James M.

Beck, or Newton Baker." Black said the Edison Institute "employed Beck and Baker nnc paid them $35,000."

For four and a half hours, Julius Stgeicher, bald, implacable leader of the anti-Jewish drive, addressed a national congress of school teachers in Munich last night. He left no ioubt in the, minds of those who him that recent attacks on Jews, which have aroused world interest, were but forerunners of the campaign to come. Into his speech was read a plain bid for appointment by Adolf Hitler to the post of national anti-Semite leader. His words indicated also that he confidently believed that he 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 general because they did not, too. Offic ces on Hunt Street Dr. M. M. Brown and Dr.

Mussolini in Personal Note to League Body ROME, July 27 (U.R)--In a reply written personally by Premier Benito Mussolini, Italy today sent to the League of Nations a request for clarification of the aims of the special council meeting 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 resumption 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 expects to be informed of the exact contents of the agenda.
