woman and novelist from Paris,
France, representing a syndicate
of over fifty French papers was a
visitor for a few hours on Mon

May Probe Deeper
Into Hughes’
Wartime Contracts
(By Edwin B. Haakinson)
WASHINGTON. f/P»—Chairman
Ferguson <R.-Mich.) said today it
will be up to his war investigating
sub-committee to decide whether
to probe deeper into the “side is
sue" feud between Howard Hughes
and Senator Brewster (R.-Me.>.
But Senator Pepper <D.-Fla.)
1 declared that in his view the next.
1 step, if there is one, will have to
j be taken by the full Senate o: the
justice department.
The two ranking members of the
subcommittee outlined their opin
ions in separate interviews as the
customs bureau stepped into the
picture in an effort to make cer
tain that the main Hughes inquiry
can get underway again Novem
ber 17.
Frank Dow, acting commission
er of customs, notified collectors
at all ports yesterday to stop John
W. Meyer, Hughes’ free-spending
publicity man, if he tries to leave
the country.
I Meyer’s unexplained absence
last Saturday after on earlier com
mittee subpoena for him expired
was one of the reasons Ferguson
cited for ordering a postponement
in the two-week-old investigation
into Hughes’ $40,000,000 worth of
wartime airplane contracts.
