Pearson Says Howser
Wanted 10 Drop Suit

Drew Pearson today testified in
District Court that he learned
three weeks ago that Fred N.
Howser wanted to drop his $780,
900 libel suit against the col
umnist.
Mr.. Pearson gave this testimony
under cross-examination by Mr..
Howser's counsel, Roger Robb.
The attorney had asked Mr.. Pear
son if it was true that he tried
recently to get West Coast news
paper friend to persuade Mr..
Howser to withdraw his court ac-
ton.
mo, it was the other way
around" the columnist said. He
explained that he had learned
from Robert L. Smith, associate
publisher of the Los Angeles Daily
News, three weeks ago that the
plaintiff, the former California at
torney general, had expressed
such a desire, but that his Wash
| ington attorneys, who are being
retained on a contingent fee basis,
opposed dropping the suit.
! Mr.. Howser, who went out OF
office earlier this month, is SEEK
ing damages from the columnist
on the basis of a 1948 radio
broadcast in which Mr.. Pearson
said that Mr.. HoWser accepted q
$1,000 bribe from a California
bookmaker during the 1946 elec-
ton campaign.
/ Under questioning by his own
lawyer, William P. Rogers, Mr..
Pearson said that Gov. Warren OF
California once commented to
him that he felt there had been
laxity in law enforcement in the
State due to his own attorney
general, Mr.. HoWser.
