committee held an inquiry into
the wartime contracts Mr.. Hughes,
millionaire plane builder, and

Mr.. Grunewald has told the
committee he did investigative
work for Sam Pryor. a vice presi-

sisted this was not during 1947.

was in 1914 or 1945 and In 1948
or 1949 that Mr.. Pryor called
him at the Hotel Statler to see
il they were being tapped and to

ports to Mr.. Grunewald, who was
referred to as "the Dutchman."
Darby Objects to Question.
1t. Shimon tapped the tele-
phones Of associates of MIR. Hughes
at the Carlton and Mayfower dur
ing the 1947 Hughes inquiry, but
insisted he had no interest in
them. His story has been he was
only trying to find out the motives
of a man he said was Shadowing
Senator Brewster. He named this
shadow as Abner w. Chick
Lappin. Mr.. Lappin denied such
activities.
Mrs. Dustin was asked why the
hotel bills of 1t. Shimon were paid
in cash and whether 1t was the
Senator's practice to pay bills In
cash or by check.
Senator Darby. Republican, Of
Kansas, objected that this seemed
to be going too far into the pri-
vate financial affairs Of Senator
Brewster. But Senator Neely,
Democrat, of West Virginia, chair
man Of the subcommittee, said
he thought the question was rele-
want since the expense payment
made to 1t. Shimon twas for
services that presumably were

Chairman Neely added he
thought the subcommittee "ought
to find out once and for all about
q, practice of paying police for
official work that ought to have
been paid not by a private citizen
but by the District Government. u
Only Cash Payment.
