time he spent a total of $163,921.55 as Mr. Hughes’ company entertainer. He sald his job was “creating good will for my company in any way,.shapecor form.” He he built “good will”. for Mr. Hughes’ movie enterprises as well as for the photo plane and flying boat. Roy E. Shrwood, Mr. Hughes’ auditor, told the subcommittee that while Mr. Meyer was spending the $164,000, Mr. Hughes’ firms did $300 million worth of business. Thus, Mr. Sherwood said, Mr. Meyer's expenditures amounts to just “53,000th of 1 per cent” of the business total, “I think that's very cheap;” Mr. Meyer commented. During one New York week-end, in January, 1044, Mr. Meyer said he picked up $600 worth of entertainment checks for Col. Hall Mr. Hughes, meanwhile, promised to go over in detail his charges against Mr. Brewster.
Duel Appears Off
It appeared, however, that an
anticipated verbal duel between the
two men would not take place. Mr. Brewster had offered to waive his congressional immunity and permit «Mr, Hughes to crossexamine him. He indicated today, however, that he would not question the plane builder and would not submit to questioning on his own part by Mr. Hughes. Mr. Hughes lugged an impressive quantity of documents out of his plane on his arrival, The renewed questioning of Mr. Meyer concerned parties for Col. Hall. Elliott Roosevelt concluded a day and a half of testmgny before the subcommittee late yesterday. Mr, Meyer testified he turned in a $551.42 expense account to cover “five or six days” of entertainment for Col. Hall. Among other things, the voucher detailed parties at New York's El Morrocco, Copacabana and Savoy Plaza. Paid Offcer’'s Bill
Mr. Meyer also paid the officer's | $55.42 hotel bill at the Madison hotel, according to the vouchers. The hotel bill bore a typewritten notation: “Do not allow Col. Hall to pay this bill. Charge everything to Mr. Meyer.” Mr. Ferguson asked the publicity that this be done. Mr. Meyer said he didn’{ think he'd have been “that naive.” “I'd ‘just have said, ‘send the bill to me,” he testified.

nis, Mass, where he will join a wife. In going over the entertainment for Col. Hall, Mr. Ferguson had Mr. Meyer read into the record several expense account items, one of which was a $50 gift. Mr. Meyer said he was unable to.say what the gift was. “One thing you know, it was not a Buick—for $50,” he said. Another item mentioned “jewelry, for Col. Hall—$10.95. “I didn't know you could buy jewelry for that” Mr. Meyer said. At one point Mr. Meyer sald he was “definitely not clear” whether the entire amounts listed were spent on Col. Hall. “I keep my accounts loosely, and the dates and money to the best of my knowledge,” he said.
