Gen. Brannon said the informa-

Under repeated committee ques-
tioning, Gen. Brannon went only
as far as to say that If providing
the information to Mr.. Hunt
showed favoritism to one contrac-

would be improper.
Meanwhile, there was some con-
fusion about when Gen. Vaughan
will appear to face committee
questioning on such widely varied
topics as molasses. home freezers,
. California race track and grain
for breweries.
One committee member said
Gen. Vaughan, whose name has

tomorrow. Later, however, re-

likely he would appear Thursday.

had no knowledge of Mr. Hunt s
position as q so-called ive per-
center. He described himself as a
management counselor and in that
capacity he had frequently re-
quested that names of firms be
added to our bid invitation lists
Such requests we're typical OF
hundreds we received from firms
and from persons interested In or
representing prospective con-
tractors; and they were welcomed
by the OQMG for it was to the
interest Of the Government to Sc
cure as many competitive bidders
as possible.

Mr.. Hunt indicated to me that he
could and did advise manufacturers
Oh the kind and type Of items the
Army purchased, and in 1947 as
you will recall our problem was pri-
marily one of interesting firms in
Government business. During this

It has been inferred that I sought
to give Mr.. Hunt and the Arms he
represented an unfair advantage
over their competitors by giving
him this alleged confidential infor-
nation. But I earnestly submit that
1t was not In truth confidential. My
letter to him was prompted only by
desire to facilitate our own ONO
business and to prevent this program
from being widely disseminated as
q firm unqualified commitment on
our part to buy. For after all, its
possession gave no unfair advantage
to Mr.. Hunts firms or those of any,
one else. If the list had been used
and I understand 1t was not in
fact used-it could not have altered
our normal method Of procedure

petitive bidding.
Only Low Bidder Could Win.
In the final analysis, unless q
bidder was low, and showed evil

adequate facilities, he could not

Senator Says Vaughan
Had General Punished
For Hitting Maragon

Senator Mccarthy, Republican,
of Wisconsin said today that a
general was officially reprimanded
for punching John Maragon after
Mr.. Maragon called Maj. Gen.
Harry H. Vaughan. President Tru-
mans military aide, from Italy
to report the incident.
The general. who was identified
by the Senator as William L. Lee,
an Air Force officer, was later
reduced In rank from brigadier
general to colonel, but the Senator
said he did not believe this was
directly connected with the punch
ing incident.
Incident in Rome.
A copy Of the reprimand is now
in the Senator'S possession and
will be turned over to the Senate
"five-percenter" inquiry, which
has been hearing a lot about Gen.
Vaughan, the Senator said.
Mr.. Maragon has described
himself as a close friend Of Gen.
Vaughan. He is key figure in
the f1ve-percenter inquiry. but has
not yet been called to testify.
The incident involving Mr..
Maragon and Col. Lee occurred in
Rome in 1916 as the outgrowth of
a traffic squabble in which Mr..
Maragon became interested.
Reprimand Quoted.
The reprimand reportedly said
in part:
1T has been ascertained that
you (Col. Lee) have conducted
yourself in such a manner as to
bring discredit upon the military
service in that on the evening OF
Is February. 1916, in front OF the
Hassler Hotel, Rome. Italy. you
committed an assault upon an
American civilian, Mr.. John Mara
gon, by striking the latter with
your hand.
although there appear to have
been extenuating circumstances in
connection with the incident re-
ferred to, those circumstances did
not justify your improper conduct.
Such conduct would not be excused
in a junior officer and cannot be
condoned in a general officer"
Senator Mccarthy summarized
the incident this way: THE gen.
eral pushed Maragon in the face.
Maragon called Vaughan. Vaughan
called the generals superior officer
and the general caught hell"

Soviet Press Continues
To Denounce Marshal

MOSCOW, Aug. % up. The
Soviet press continued to lambast
Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia to-

sBesides lengthy front-page edi-
torials denouncing him. both
Pravda and Izvestia put their car
toonists to work portraying Tito
as a Fascist and tool Of Wall
Street.
Efimov, wartime pen-pummeller
of Hitler, drew for Pravda . car
toon showing Tito grovelling be-
fore portraits of Mussolini, Hitler
and Himmler. One of the mar
shals hands is raised in the Nazi
salute and the other holds an ak
branded Fascist terror" His
body forms a swastika.
Izvestia shows Tito in the form
Of a cobra dancing to the tune OF
q Wall Street flute.
The editorials denounced Yugo-
slavia's rulers rs direct agents of
the imperialiSts."
A dispatch from Sofia quoted q
Bulgarian paper as saying the
Soviet would be able to defend its
citizens in Yugoslavia by effective
means"
Just what these means would be
is still, Of course. the big question
in diplomatic circles here. Many
foreign ENJOYS have been asked by
their governments to find the an
swer to that question.
The Soviets have made no sug-
gestion beyond the original note
and Pravda's lengthy discussion
of the question suggests no specific

Tito Will Wind Up
Like Hitler and Duce,
Berlin Russians Say
By the Assoeiatsd Press


BERLIN, Aug. 23.-The Rus
SLAMS declared in Berlin today
that Marshal Tito would wind UP
like Hitler and Mussolini.
The official Red Army newspa-
per, Taegliche Rundschau. loosed
a savage attack on the Yugoslav
leader in a lead editorial signed
by s. Timofeyev. Russian writer.
All other news in the newspaper
was subordinated to the lashing
handed Yugoslavia for its inde-
pendent stand against the Com
inform. s....
The writer forecast that Tito's
days are numbered. The article
was worded in even stronger Ian
guage than the Moscow declara-
ton against Tito which started a
mounting propaganda wave
against the Yugoslavs this week.
1T has become clear" Rund-
schau said, that the Tito clique
applies the same Fascist methods
as Hitler and Mussolini did in
Germany and Italy.
"These criminals liquidated the
peoples democratic order in Yu-
goslavia and established a cruel
police and terror regime after
Fascist Gestapo models.
This gang can only fill the
role of little scolds in the service
of the great imperialistic robbers.
There is no doubt that these ma
licious scolds will not be active in
Yugoslavia much longer. History
will take just retaliation against
them just as Hitler and Mussolini,
but this time much quicker"
