Fill 6 of the shells with the mix

from Yesterdays Last Editio

From Yesterdays Last EditionJ
The tert OF the statement
issued by the Senate subcom-
mittee Investigating "fpe-per-
centers" on behalf OF Chairman
Hoey tollo,Ds:.
On August IS. 194e. the sub
committee heard testimony in ex-
ecutive session from Robert l..
Quirk. Albert j. Gross and Harry
Hoffman concerning the gift Of
deep-freeze units to Gen. Vaughan
and other public officials. This is
the only testimony concerning
Gen. Vaughan which has not
been given at a public session.
At that time, the subcommittee
agreed unanimously that this tes-
timony should not be released to
the public. The subcommittee
arrived at this conclusion because
it felt that the matter should be
fully investigated before making
it public. 1t was felt that many
of the inferences which flow from
the testimony, now in it's incon1-
plete stage, may very well be un-
fair to those concerned.
For example, certain questions
about possible favoritism extended
to the Verley CO. by governmental
agencies might prove that such
inferences of favoritism are un-
founded. For these reasons it was
unanimously agreed by the sub
committee that it would not be
made public until an investiga-
ton of all the facts were made.
Subsequently, on August II. a
representative of Gen. Vaughan

Probers' Statement Reveals Aide
|OfGeneroI Vetoed Publicity

| informed member of the
subcommittee staff that Gen.
Vaughan desired to have made
available to him copy OF that
executive testimony. This request
was considered at once by the
subcommittee and it was decided
that executive testimony would
! be furnished Gen. Vaughan for
his personal use upon the condi-
ton that the subcommittee would
release it to the public at the
same time. Accordingly, on Au-
gust II, the Office OF Gen.
Vaughan was informed of the
committees decision. At that
time Gen. Vaughan's representa-
tive informed us that the general
did not desire the subcommittee
to release the testimony In ques-
ton.
The committee has attempted
at all times to be fair to all con-
cerned. II regrets that this ef-
fort to be scrupulously fair In this
instance may have appeared to be
an attempt to unfairly withhold
testimony. Under the circum-
stances, in order to remove any
idea of possible unfairness, 1t has
been unanimously agreed by the
subcommittee that this testimony
now be. made public. In closing
I wish to state what I previously
said repeatedly that the public
should reserve it's judgment as tc

may ask the courts to force the

ahead with a bridge.
Mr.. Mason said he had hired

to see if court action is feasible.
"On the basis Of testimony by
competent engineers" Mr.. Poe
said lit appears that a tunnel
could be built for less money than
the bridge will COST"
Earlier this week, Gov. Lane

possible with a bridge. The latest

ported to the House.
One, sponsored by Representa-.

places to give credits for sale Of

special permit. costing $3.50 year,

The committee voted down
three measures. One Of these is
the so-called Fair Trade Act for
the liquor trade in Washington.
Opponents call it a price-raising
bill. This measure. sponsored by
Representative Klein, Democrat
of New York, would exempt
manufacturers, wholesalers and
retailers from antitrust laws for
making contracts forbidding re-
sale of beverages below certain
prices.
A second bin that was killed
