Solon Says
Charge Is
Fabrication
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6 (TV-With
both tinder oath, Howard Hughe
charged and Senator Brewster (R
Me.) denied today that the senator
once offered a "deal" to call off a
senatorial Inquiry Into Hughes war
plana contracts.
Brewster took the stand before a
senate war Investigation subcom
mittee a few minutes after Hughe
bad made the charge before tha
same group.
Hughes said tha Maine senator
made such a proposition to him In
a Washington hotel Uie week of
February 11, 1947.
Brewster offered, he declared, to
have the hearings dropped If he, .
Hughes, would agree to merger of
Uie Trees-World Alrlmes, which he
controls, with Pan-American Air
ways. Brewster, calling this "a-proposl-tlon
Uiat sounds more like Holly
wood than Washington," told Ul
committee solemnly: ... , t
"I can assure you that I never '
did." , .
Brewster said he entertained .
Hughes at a luncheon in his hotel
apartment and "paid 18 80 out of my ,
own pocket"
This remark as to the cost, ob
viously was a reference to the testi
mony cf John Meyer, Hughes' pub
licity man, Uiat he spent large sums
entertaining government officials.
Alluding to the Hughes' charges,
Brewster said:
"It seems Inconceivable to me that
anyone could seriously contemplate
that anyone who has been In public
uie as long as I nave in the state
legislature, as governor. In the house,
and tha senate could, on such short
acquaintance with Hughes . . . make
so bald s proposition as he here
describes.''
"It sounds more like Hollywood
than It does Washington."
Pausing for a few seconds, Brew-'
ster said:
"I can assure you that I new '
did." .
