The reason is that Mr Cox's brother Max is Hughes's general counsel.

Mr Cox (61), a Harvard law professor, was selected to prosecute the Watergate case after pressure was put on the govproposed burglary.

This tidy little tale was revealed last week at a Press conference given by publisher Mr H. N. Greenspun of the 'Las Vegas Sun'.

Mr Greenspun said his office was in fact burgled in August 1972, two months after the Watergate burglary and the arrest of the perpetrators. He put forward the theory that the aim of the burglars was to get at documents he possesses on Hughes's political plans.

The plans were kept in a safe which the burglars failed to open. How would the late President Lyndon Johnson have handled the Watergate bugging scandal? An answer was provided at a recent luncheon in Washington by former LBJ aide Jack Valenti. Under LB] it wouldn't have happened in the first place, he said.
