Neely and Mrs. Dustin answered
the question. She said this was
the only instance Of which she
knew in which the Senator had
paid a bill in cash. She added
referring to the Office, I'VE have q
checking account"
Senator Brewster, in a recent
press conference, told reporters
he thought there was nothing un-
usual in having paid 1t. Simmons
expenses in cash. He said he fol-
lowed such a practice frequently
Some conflicts developed in the
testimony of Mrs. Dustin in rela-
ton to the testimony of earle,
witnesses.
1t. Shimon had engaged Carl
ton and Maydower rooms in July
and August, 1947, to carry on his
overlapping. He had told Of be-
ing directed to Senator Brewster
and of then beginning his pursuit
of the alleged shadow.
Paid Shimon i'm September.
But Mrs. Dustin, who has been
employed by Senator Brewster for
Is years. said she had not been in
Washington during August for the
last 16 years. Each August, she
said, she spends her vacation at
Dexter, Me.
So, she told the Neely subcom-
mittee today. it must have been
in September, 1947, that she first
knew of a visit by 1t. Shimon to
check over the wires in the Sen
ator's Office. And it also was Sep
tember, she recalled, when she
handed the envelope to the lieu
tenant.
Among questions Mr.. Gruene-
wald refused to answer was one
about his business relations In
New York with Harry Woodring
former Secretary of War. Mr.
Grunewald has used q suite OF
rooms at the Washington Hotel
retained by MIR. Woodring.
He did say they had discussed
going into partnership, with Mr..
Woodring serving as general
counsel and Mr.. Grunewald as q
confidential investigator. but said
that with one exception their
business was separate.
According to hotel records the
bills run up by 1t. Shimon
amounted to $283.20. 1t. Shimon
has testified Senator Brewster
paid him $235 or $245. Investiga-
tors have been trying to get an
explanation of the apparent dis
crepancies between the amounts
given.

CAPT. AUSTIN EUGENE LATHROP

We are shocked and saddened to learn of the death of Captain Austin E. Lathrop. In his passing, Alaska has suffered irreparable loss.
 It will be difficult to imagine Alaska without Capt Lathrop To those who knew him over the yealf he was the symbol of the pioneer Alaska spirit an inspiration to those who shared his faith in the future of the Territory He the pioneer who came north during gold rush days, made good and remained to invest his earnings in the development of Alaska and the service of his fellow citizens
 It is ironic that he should die without having had an opportunity to clear himself of the grand jury indictment arising from the so-called antitrust political maneuver against than hundred de- fendants of which he was one.
 However, in the minds and hearts of those who knew Austin E. Lathrop, there has been indict- ment but rather a deep sense of gratitude for his unfatlng devotion to conservative principles and sound business.
 Blessed with boundless energy and unquenchable faith in Alaska his varied enterprises have to create livelihood for hundreds and economic stability for a considerable part of the Territory.

However, the Justice Department, after letting the wire-tapping re- port gather dust for nine months, finally got around to ordering an FBI investigation.

 Another interesting point is that a close friend of Brewster's, Will liam Power Maloney, has been re- tained as defense counsel for Lieut. Shimon. For, upon Simmons test imony depends whether or vi Senator Brewster becomes involved in criminal proceeding.
