Is Not Welcome
At White House
'By Miriom Gutenberg

told the Senate "five-percenter"
inquiry today that the FBI in
vestigated but found groundless
charges that he took bribe for
fixing an income tax case.
At the same time. the Presi-
dents military aide denied he had
exerted pressure on the Agriculture
Department in behalf of liquor in
terests and got paid for it. He
said he knew nothing about an FB1
investigation on that score.
Gen. Vaughan was excused as
a witness shortly after pm. hav-
ing faced the committee for a
total of six hours. Chairman
Hoey thanked him for his testi-
mony and announced that Jess
Larson, general services admin
istrator, will be called tomorrow.
Critical of Maragon.
Gen. Vaughan closed his testi-
mony by indicating to the COM
mittee that in the future John
Maragon will be. persona non
grata" at the White House.
Gen. Vaughan went into some
detail as to his personal reactions
to Mr.. Maragon.
Hes lovable kind of chap
the general said. You can't be
mad at him very long"
General Vaughan indicated,
however, it was easier to be mad
at Maragon now than previously.
Hes got to be pretty well
washed up and fumigated, I'm
afraid" he said, before I will
want to have much more to do
with him. Sometimes I think
Maragon doesn't know himself
exactly what he's up to. I'm afraid
he has done some things that I
couldn't condone in my own
brother"
In his second day Of question
ing by Senators investigating in
fuence peddlers, Gen. Vaughan
admitted he received Democra-
tic campaign contribution from
an attorney who had come to him
earlier seeking a clients parole.
but he insisted there was no con-
nection between the contribution
and the parole given to the con-
victed man.
Got Campaign Contribution.
The general told the committee
that William H. Neblett, former
law partner of the late Senator
William Gibbs McAdoo. gave him
q campaign contribution OF 5000
or $500 in October or November,
1947, after he had referred Mr..
Neblett to the Justice Department
on the parole matter.
It was brought out that Mr..
Neblett's client. Robert Gould of
Cincinnati, who was serving a
six-year term for selling liquor on
the black market, got his parole
last year.
Senator Mccarthy. Republican,
of Wisconsin, was firing most of
the questions at Gen. Vaughan. 1t
was a sometimes stormy session,
during which Senator Mccarthy
declared he was withdrawing a
statement he made yesterday.
At that time Senator McCar-
thy said he had the feeling all
along-and still felt-that Gen.
Vaughan did not profit personally
from any of his various interces-
sions with the Government.
IT am going to ask that the
last half of that statement be
stricken from the record" Senator
Mccarthy said today. "that part
in which I said that still was my
opinion
Denies Any Pressure.
Alter devoting nearly an hour
to questioning Gen. Vaughan and
his assistant, Col. C.. j. Mara,
about one or more FBI investi-
cations, Senator Mccarthy asked
Gen. Vaughan if he would object
to having the FBI report on him
turned over to the committee.

Improved Lions End
LOSING Streak at IS

After blowing Is consecutive
matches, the Washington Lions
turned out to be flash in the pan
last night as they whacked the
Philadelphia Hornets, So. 1t was
their first win over the Hornets in
five clashes this season.
One noticeable improvement was
the center ice play of Tom Forgie,
making his debut here after being
obtained from Minneapolis by way
of Cleveland. He consistently broke
up Rocket plays and slammed home
the second Washington goal.
Meanwhile, Phil Hergesheimer
crack Philly forward, advanced
within 13 goals of realizing an am
bition to become the first player in
American Hockey League history
to score $50 goals by knocking two
more into the net. The 34-year-
old vet scored in the second and
third periods to save his mates
from a shutout and boost his total
to 237. His second shot put the
Rockets within point of tying the
score, but Harry Frost, Norm Nc
Aztec and Pat Wilson followed with
Washington markers to clinch the
decision.
Hergesheimer broke the old
league mark of 233, held by Les
Cunningham, now coach of the San
Francisco Pacific Coast team, last
Saturday night with three goals
Fred Thurier of Cleveland netted
three the same night for total OF
233. tYing the old record.

Greg Rice, chunky former Notre

B. A. A. meet record, an all-time
Boston indoor mark of 1884 in
winning the Billings Invitation two
mile in 1912.
Another mark which appears in
danger is the all-time Boston record
of 1:11.8 for the 600, set by Villa
nova's George Guida, who is favored
to win his fifth Garden victory In
six races.
Guida will defend his Hollis 900

to give any hint as to whom Turk
Edwards successor would be, other

$40 Ringside Tickets

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-The groggy
fight game is making a fine come
back, with complete sellout report
ed for next Fridays Sandy Saddler-
Willie Pep featherweight title match
at Madison Square Garden.
So heavy is the demand for the
better seats that the ringside seats
at $40 tops have drawn offers as
high as $25. The house is scaled for
about $4,000.
Considering that Saddler knocked
out Pep in only 2:38 of the fourth
round as recently as October 20, the
demand is puzzling to those who
overlook Pep's tremendous New Eng
land following.
Pep's home town of Hartford has
gobbled up a good share of the ring
side. A delegation of some 5000 is
expected to ride down from Con-
necJicut.
Many Pep fans passed up the first
Saddler tight in which Willie lost
the title he had held since 1912
They thought Saddler would be just
another victim on the Pep win
string.
They thought it was only a
movie with a bad ending" said
Charles Johnston, Saddler's mana
ger. This time they'll find out it
really happened"
Odds on the scrap have shortened
with Saddler slight favorite at
prices varying between 6-5 and Us
