Washington correspondents have
noter that Sen. Richard M. Nixon of
I California has been campaigning in
Maine for the man who defeated his
good friend Sen. Owen Brewster.
Last spring Congressional investi­
gators heard testimony from Brewster
in which he sought to explain his cir­
cumvention of senate Republican cam­
paign committee’s rules to help out
Nixon’s 1950 campaign for the senate.
As chairman of the campaign com­
mittee Brewster was pledged to re­
frain from taking sides in primaries.
In order to circumvent this rule Brew­
ster used, arcording to his testimony,
Henry (The Dutchman) Grünewald,
a Washington “mystery man,” as a
conduit to funnel funds into the pri­
mary campaign treasuries of Nixon
and Sen. Milton R. Young of N. Dak.
Each received $5,000.
Nixon neglected to report the con­
tribution from Brewster via Grüne­
wald until after the primary cam­
paign.
In the face of the fatherly-like in­
terest Brewster took in Nixon's sen­
ate campaign, political observers won­
der how the California senator could
make effective campaign speeches on
behalf of Gov. Frederick G. Payne,
who defeated Brewster in the Maine
senatorial primary last June.
Brewster’s connections with Grüne­
wald have played a large part in Maine
politics this year.
