The code name Mr Chapman was adopted during the 1972 campaign by President Nixons veteran political aide Murray Chotm-er- . It was the same code name that the late Gov. Tom Dewey used to identify himself m phone calls to Dwight Eisenhower and pich-arNixon during the 1952 campaign As of 1972 Mr Chapman, Chotmer submitted secret reports on the McGovern campaign to the Nixon managers These reports included political intelligence from two undercover correspondents who were identified only d as Chapmans Fnends. who divulged her Mata Han role earlier this month. She traveled on the McGovern campaign plane as e a book wnter and contributor to Looking s four questions opinions conclude a three part series about the arguments concerning antipollution regulations proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency tor Salt Lake City and the Wasatch Front region EPA hearings on the proposed controls will resume Wednesday ui the Salt Palace The summations were compiled by Joe Bauman, IVseret News environmental specialist Editor s Note Today at the and EPA dispute n Confronted with the results of our investigation, Chotmer acknowledged that Freidin was hired by him as a reporter dunng a portion of the Democratic primaries and a portion of the time after the McGovern nomination. After three days of overseas calls, we located Freidin m the Mediterranean hat 1 was trying to do, he said, was to pull a Joe McGinnis. McGinnis worked for the Nixon advertising campaign m 1968 and wrote an inside account called The Selling of the President. Freidin said he also had intended to write inside book, but vigorously denied that he was a spy. I never spied, he said I gave my unvarnished views which (Attorney General John) Mitchell told Chotmer weie junk. Freidin said that he submitted both verbal and written reports and that Mitchell complained to Chotmer that he had read the same information in the newspapers. Freidin said that for a long time I took no money. His total take after he began collecting a salary, he said, amounted to $10,000 to $11,000. an FOOTNOTE: Apparently, we were among those who were duped by Freidm dunng the 1972 campaign. He frequently visited us and pumped us for campaign mformation. He also pleaded with us to give his son Joshua a chance to accompany us to Miami Beach for the Democratic convention. We paid Joshua to be a messenger and he had the run of our Miami Beach offices throughout the convention. DUBIOUS DETERGENT: Under pressure from the soap makers, the Department of Health, Education and Welfare has promised to make a fast decision on the safety of the detergent additive NT A, even though NT A may cause cancer. Detergents containing NT A were yanked off the market m 1970 when a growing mass of data indicated the chemical might cause cancer and bull) defects.
