Strauss said he had learned only last August that a possible conflict of interests was involved and declared that though a "great deal of noise" had been made about Dixon-Yates, the contract "has not hurt the government one iota." Meanwhile, a committee aide said that a justice department ruling might be sought on whether Strauss and Hughes properly invoked the Constitutional separation of powers. Kefauver challenged the positions taken by Strauss and Hughes. Harking back to the Teapot Dome scandals of the 1920s, the senator said the supreme court had held then that the doctrine of separation of powers was no' defense against inquiry into "matters involving fraud or misconduct." Kefauver said further public hearings were anticipated around Dec. 16.

Strauss at which he discussed problems the SEC would en-couner in approving the Dixon-Yates contract.

Demmler insisted the meetings were proper "in the interests of orderly government." "We have nothing to be ashamed of" Hughes said in referring to the budget bureau's part in the contract. "We have made mistakes, Lord knows, but there was nothing phoney, or dishonest, or any conspiracy with anybody." Earlier Monday, Senator Joseph O'Mahoney angrily accused Strauss of "deceiving" President Eisenhower on the contract. O'Mahoney told Strauss that "those surrounding" the president kept him in ignorance of the facts which later led to the government's cancelation of the contract, Defends Record.
