TO Get First 81 Test
In Maine Tomorrow
BY the Associated Pres.

1 PORTLAND. Me-. Sept. 6.-The
Nations first test Of Republican
Democratic strength in 1852 comes
in Names State election Monday
i A successor to Senator Owen
Brewster, a Governor and three
Congressman will be elected.
/ Republican leaders, including
Senator Richard M. Nixon, Vice
Presidential nominee, who winds
up a four-day stumping tour OF
Maine at Augusta tonight, claim
any substantial drop from the Re-
publicans' 1948 majority in Maine
-95 900 votes-would be blow to
the Eisenhower Nixon ticket in
November.
! The Democratic answer to that:
For Is years Republicans have
piled UP whopping majorities in
Maine, yet the Nation has con-
ltinued to go Democratic.
Two Factors Involved.
The extent to which Maine
results may be guaged as straws
in the national wind may be
limited by two factors:
/ l. There are independent cam
didates for three major offices at
stake.
2. A long -simmering investiga-
ttion of the state liquor monopoly
resulted in indictment yesterday
of a former close friend and ap-
pointee of Gov. Frederick G.
Payne. the Republican senate can
didate.
Bernard r. Zahn, whom Gov.
Payne named as chairman of the
state liquor commission. and
Frederick w. Papalos of Boston
were charged with conspiracy to
commit bribery. The alleged pur-
pose was to influence Zahn's con-
duct Of his Office. from which
he resigned last March.
One indictment charged that
Papalos conspired to raise the
price of wines sold to the commits
sion by 40 cents a case and then
offered the money to Zahn to
influence his Judgment. Another
indictment was similar, but
charged that Zahn was in on the
alleged conspiracy.
Bother Also Named.
The grand Jury also named as
a conspirator-but didn't indict-
Herman D. Sahagian, a Gardiner
wine bother. Sahagian testified at
a legislative committee hearing in
June that Papalos took $12, 900 to
exert a claimed influence over
Gov. Payne and Zahn in behalf
of Sahagian. Gov. Payne and
Papalos both denied the story.
This testimony was given just
before the June primaries, in
which Gov. Payne defeated SEN
ator Brewster for renomination.
Until the Grand Jury reported
yesterday, Democrats claimed the
Republican administration was
covering up the liquor situation
until after election day.
Today Fred c. Scribner, jr., Re-
publican national committeeman,
pointed to the indictments as
proof that no politics or white
wash is involved"
