OUR OPINION
Free Press In Danger
As the ecology movement's 1973 scenario draws toward
an end we are faced with an outrageous decision Do we want
perfectly clean water ami air or our favorite newspaper? In
(heir relentless pursuit of tero pollution, environmentalists
are actually forcing this nation into a paper shortage. The
paper industry cannot afford to buy and maintain all the costly
pollution abatement controls demanded of it and still operate
Us, mills and build the new ones necessary to meet the in-
satia'ble crv for its products Constantly shifting federal en-
vironmental standards make it impossible for large, long-term
investment decisions to be made. Paper and newsprint are
becoming harder than ever to obtain. Some smaller news-
papers are operating on » day-to-day basis and others are
having to prune the site of their editions.
Preserving the environment is a highly-commendable goal—
whether there is a future at all for our descendants depends
upon how we treat the Earth today. But when dedication turns
into destruction and our Constitutional right to a free and
diversified press suffers, it is time to take a different path
to environmental protection.

Hughes-Nixon Mystery Deepens
by Jack Anderson
irupyriKhl. IV7J. by llnilrd Fralun- Syndic*!*. Inc '
WASHINGTON - Senators
would like to question two of
America’s most mysterious
figures — phantom
billionaire Howard Hughes
and President Nixon’s shado-
wy friend Bebe Rebozo —
about their backdoor deal-
ings.
The Senate Watergate
Committee has been quietly
checking into a column we
wrote two years ago' about
the strange Hughes-Rebozo-
Nixon relationship. Last
week, the committee's crack
investigator. Terry Lenzner,
g«ve tne senators his
eliminary findings behind ,
bse$lfl<k>rs. Here’S what he '
them;, ’
Hughes henchman,
jeh/ard Danner, slipped
[OO.OOO in $100 bills to
tbebozo in two separate,
$507000 packages, which
wjifffc- delivered directly to'
tl)0 President’s cross-country .
estates at Key Biscayne, Fla.,
apd San Clemente. Calif., in
19*9 and 1970.
jThc payments coincided
cfcsely with two government
decisions favorable to
Hpghes. In June 1969 Presi-
dent Nixon approved the sale
of Air West to Hughes. The
following year, the Justice
Department reversed an anti-
trust action which had barred
Hughes from expanding his
h^tel-casino empire in Las
V$gas.
• ‘Mitchell's Announcement
$ few weeks after the final
$30,000 delivery was made,
rn-Attorney General John
(chell brought Danner into
('office and informed him of
favorable antitrust deci-
sion.
jbenzrier’s findings confirm,
essentially, what we have
wptten. The White House
sgrpre to us that President
Nixon never received the
$100,000. Danner swore the
mjoney was intended as a
campaign contribution and
wjjis never mentioned to
\Bjchelk And Rebozo swore
through an intermediary that
ho has never misused any
cajiipaign money.
,A-s Lenzner ticked off his
fiKRings at the closed-door
meeting. Vice Chairman
Hiyivarri Baker. R-Tenn.. ex-
pressed quiet dismay. He
wpuld like to end the
Watergate investigation, but
new revelations keep bub-
bling up.
.“•If you can verify those
facts.” he told Lenzner, “we
have a whole new can of
worms." After the meeting,
other Senators told us they
would like to take testimony
from both Hughes and
Rebozo.
1956 Connection
Nixon first got entangled
with Hughes in December
1956 when the eccentric
billionaire siphoned $205,000
from a political fund in
Canada and loaned the
money to Nixon’s brother
Donald. The loan was
secured by a vacant family
lot appraised at $13,000.
Noah Dietrich, a respected
former Hughes executive,
told us he tried to dissuade,.
Richard Nixon from approv-
ing the loan. Dietrich said he
flew to Washington to talk to
' Nixon, then Vice President,
about the loan.
“I tried to discourage
hitn,” said Dietrich, “against
taking this loan far his
• brother, f told him, ‘You can’t
; keep this quiet. Too many
pepple know.' He told me,
‘Noah, I have to consider my
family ahead of my political
career.'”
A few weeks after Donald
Nixon received the $205,000
loan, the Internal Revenue
Service granted tax-exempt
status to the Moward Hughes
Medical Institute. Twice pre-
viously, the IRS had refused
to treat the Institute as a non-
profit organization.'
Curious Coincidence
By an interesting coin-
cidence; IRS last year con-
<lu<
ves
estimation of Robert Maheu,
who used lo run the
billionaire's Nevada opera-
tion but is now suing him. .'
Incredibly, two Hughes
representatives, Chester
Davis and Mickey West, had a
ringside seat at an IRS inter-
rogation. When Danner was
questioned by IRS field
agents Donald Skelton and
Richard Lebar, the Hughes
people were present.
Danner has admitted this in
a deposition that hasn’t yet
been made public bv the
court.
“Mr. Chester Davis and Mr.
Mickey West were present.”
testified Danner, “during the
investigation....”

“Who,” asked Maheu's at-
torney. Morton Galane. “was
being investigated?"
“Mr. Robert Maheu.” said

“And Chester Davis was
there and you said nothing,
and you were giving testimo-
ny against Robert Maheu? Is
that what you’re testifying to,
Mr. Danner?” asked the at-
torney.
' “That was substantially the
situation,” said Danner.
Galane also asked Danner
who directed him to appear
before the IRS agents "so that
you can give sworn testimony
to get Robert Maheu into
trouble with the United States
government?”
Danner testified that he
had been contacted by Bob
Morgan, a Hughes financial
officer.
We asked the IRS about
these strange circumstances.
“There’s nothing we can say,”
a spokesman told us, “not
even to confirm that an in-
vestigation of Maheu Is going
on.”

a handsome and wealthy suitor.
The tyrant that keeps her In

of divorces, for of 90.000 men
who asked me to find them
cultnred wives, only ONE
wanted a girl like Diane!

27, works for a newspaper
“Dr. Crane,” she began, “you

last year.
"And we have been dating
ever since.
“We seem to be congenial in

bies.
“Except for tobacco!
“He can’t stand cigarette
smoke!
“And I am a chain smoker,

“He insists that I give up
smoking before he will give me
an engagement ring.
“But I’d rather die than stop
my cigarettes!
“So why can’t he compromise
and not be so obstinate?”
NUISANCE HABITS
When 1 talked to her boy
friend, he told me that he had
warned Diane she’d probably
die AND give up her cigarettes!
Besides, he said it killed her
romantic allure when he kfatiied
her and was asphyxiated with
her stale tobacco halitosis.
“Dr. Crane,” he admitted,
“she is a very attractive girl
and s' gay conversationalist.
“But she doesn’t realize that
she STINKS from that stale
tobacco odor.
“I can hardly stand it now,
even while we are only at the
dating stage and she has all her
youthful charms,
"Imagine what would happen
if we then got married and she
polluted my bedroom with that
fouT odor-!”
Whether you are addicted to
overeating or alcohol or
tobacco, it is a shame to let
those nuisance habits rob you of
romance, happy marriage and
a longer lifespan.
“But I can’t quit!” many
victims protest.
Yes, you can - and instantly,

And that big “IF” means, IF
you muster 100 percent of your
resolution!
John Wayne, a 5-pack-per-day
smoker quit when he became a
victim of tumors of his lung.
Arthur Godfrey did likewise.
And so have thousands of
others.
But why wait till the
proverbial “horse is stolen”
before you resolve to lock the
door?
Obesity is also an indirect
cause of divorce for it makes a
wife far less alluring in the
boudoir.
That’s often the start of her
husband’s worry about being
platonic.
And thus incites him to try his
prowess with an outside sire.
So you fat wives, who waddle
like a walrus as you walk,
should blame your own excess
blubber more than the
paramour when your husband
starts straying elsewhere for
boudoir cheesecake!
The cigarette habit is not
primarily a chemical habit but
is merely an outlet for excess
energy.
Under pressure, people
generate more nervous energy,
which craves an outlet via
muscular action.
But you can’t shadow box or
run the mile race everytime you
suffer from pent up tension, so
millions wave their arms via
the smoking of a cigarette.
Substitute another act, with
the same arm, and you can
more easily quit the tobacco
habit!
So send for my booklet “How
to Break the Liquor and
Tobacco Habits,” enclosing a
long stamped, return envelope,
plus 25 cento.
