HUGHES MONEY In closed session, the Senate Water gate Committee heard testimony from at least three employees of Superbillionaire Howard Hughes about $100,100 that he gave to Nixon Friend Bebe Rebozo in 1969 and 1970. Rebozo has said that the money had been intended for campaign purposes but was returned to Hughes this year. The Hughes associates' testimony was not disclosed. At one point, however, Hughes Attorney Chester Davis opened a tattered briefcase and dumped bundles of subpoenaed $100 bills, bound in rubber bands, onto the table in front of Chairman Sam Ervin...
...President also made a bundle in private business dealings, many of them highly complex. In 1967 he bought 199,891 shares in Fisher's Island Inc., a Miami-based real estate development firm-in which his great friend Bebe Rebozo was deeply involved-for $1 per share. Only two years later, he sold 185,891 shares back to the company for $2 per share, and paid capital gains taxes on the $185,891 that he made on the deal...
Five in Contempt? The other inquiry involves a gift in 1969 and 1970 of $100,100 from an executive in the business empire of Superbillionaire Howard Hughes to Charles G.

Five prospective witnesses connected with the Hughes organization have filed suit in federal court to prevent the committee from forcing them to testify in preliminary sessions prior to any public appearances. The committee is scheduled to hold a closed meeting this week to consider whether...
When Nixon's crony and bagman Charles "Bebe" Rebozo was under investigation by Newsday's great (in girth and ability) Bob Greene, John Dean, the president's counsel, decided to win one for Bebe. He sicced White House enforcer Jack Caulfield (so Caulfield has secretly testified) on the unsuspecting Greene. Caulfield suggested to the IRS that they audit Greene. Sure enough, at IRS urging, Greene was audited by New York state. He owed not a penny: the audit cost him only his time, accountants' charges and his peace of mind...
...Wayne, who will make a film entitled Who Slew Dickey-Poo? It will be filmed in Paranoia." Yet another suggested that "Pat Gray threw the tapes away in his Christmas trash." Other explanations were tonsorial ("Haldeman made his new hairpiece out of synthetic materials made from shredded tapes"), recreational ("Bebe Rebozo made them into eight-track tapes and plays them on his yacht"), even sporting: "Nixon was watching the Redskins football game on TV. He had the tapes in his hands, and when the other team scored a winning touchdown, he got so angry that he tore the tapes...
