Show WITNESS HAS POOR MEMORY WASHINGTON, Aug. 13 HM; Howard C. Hupson, smiling, jovial jo-vial mystery man oi the congressional congres-sional lobby investigation earnestly earnest-ly told house investigators today that he couldn't remember his present income, although he recalled re-called making some $100,000 in 1922. The reputedly dominant figure in the giant associated gas and electric company, sought for weeks in the investigation of a JS1.SOO.000 campaign against the Whetler-Kayourn Dili, but found 'only yesterday, mixed flashes ot" angry defiance with roars of laughter when he appeared before the committee. And at the end of the morning session, he again demonstrated the ease with which he avoid subpoena-bearers by scooting away in a taxi while an investigator from the rival senate lobby committee com-mittee fumed on the side-walk subpoena still in hand. j House investigators aided Hop-son Hop-son in ejecting the senate committee com-mittee investigator from an ele- I vator, contending the utility man was still under house jurisdiction. |
