Brewster Committee Minority Hits Findings In Hughes Inquiry By the Associated Press The four Democratic members of the old Sehate War Investigating Committee today urged new hear ings on Air Force buying methods and personnel. They made the recommendation in a caustic minority report blasting the findings of the Republican majority in the Howard Hughes air craft inquiry last fall. The minority report, signed by Senators Hatch of New Mexico, Pep per of Florida, McGrath of Rhode Island and O’Conor of Maryland, stated: “The record in the Hughes in quiry indicated that further inves tigation of Air Force procurement personnel and practices, particularly at Wright Field (Ohio), should be undertaken by the Congress or other appropriate authority.” Caused Public Censure. The Democrats charged that the investigating committee headed by Senator Brewster, Republican, of Maine, ‘‘repeatedly exceeded its power,” and said the handling of the Hughes case, "whether deserved ly or not, caused public censure and even public suspicion of the motives behind the investigation.” What’s more, the minority said, “there is absolutely nothing in the evidence which discloses any fraud, corruption or wrongdoing on the part of Howard Hughes or his asso ciates. All the evidence is directly to the contrary.” The committee conducted a lengthy investigation last year into ^fr. Hughes’ wartime contracts with the Government for photo recon naissance planes and a huge wooden flying boat. Those hearings led to a more sen sational investigation of the war time financial dealings of Maj. Gen. Bennett E. Meyers, former No. 2 Air Force procurement officer. Meyers Now in Jail. Gen. Meyers was later tried and convicted on charges of persuading a business associate to lie to the committee about his sideline activi ties. He is now serving a 20-months to-5-year jail sentence. The majority report, issued last April 14, leveled blistering criticism at both Mr. Hughes and Gen. Meyers. But the Democrats insisted that Meyers’ activities were not re lated to the Hughes contracts. "It would have been the better and fairer practice not to have dis cussed these matters at all,” their report added. They said it was "unfortunate” that the committee selected the Hughes contracts as the first to be investigated among all of the Gov ernment's wartime contracts for air craft. “Of the many billions of dollars spent by the Government for air planes in the war, the Hughes and Hughes-Kaiser contracts amounted to approximately $40,000,000, or only a fraction of one per cent,” they reported. Belgian Premier Cancels Resignation of Cabinet By the Associated Press BRUSSELS. Belgium, May 14.— The government announced today that Premier Paul-Henri Spaak has withdrawn the resignation submit ted by his two-party coalition cabinet last week. Mr. Spaak’s decision followed an agreement between Socialist and Catholic Party leaders on the school subsidies policy, which caused the cabinet crisis. Mr. Spaak is a Socialist. Belgian Senate President Henri Rolin reported today to Regent Prince Charles that a compromise had been agreed on by both parties. Mr. Spaak then was summoned to the palace and withdrew his resig- j nation.
