Along Cannery
Row
BY MRS. GRACE o. MAzERIs

That winter is near at hand is
gentle reminder as l go my way
to work on Cannery Row these
early frosty mornings. With fish
canning all finished and the moose
and deer meat in the lockers an ]
new wooden coats here and there,
I am resolved to get out my own
flannels and face the coming sea
son. My first winter in Alaska.
Two springs and two summers and
falls but never a winter before.
A white Christmas and maybe my
many little boy and girl friends
will give me a turn down some
hillside on their sled. Been a
mighty long time since l made
butterflies on a snow bank.
Working at picking shrimp is no
more than a prolonged kitchen
chore in ones own home. And &
profitable chore if one applies ones
self. Warm and not at all uncom-
Portable way to pass the time in
chatter and song. We do sing some
rousing choruses and there is fine
harmony both in song and sing
as our fingers fly. Nothing helps
like song to lift the tired body and
take the monotony out of the job.

The name of John Maragon,
which has appeared prominently
in the congressional investigation

pears with consistency in WASH

Senator Ferguson also deplored
what he called "the matter of

years to ignore promotion of lower

RY the Associoted Press

BERLIN, Aug. 18.-The Rus
sians-charged by the Allies with
mistreatment of German prison
ers of war-came up today with
what they called an eyewitness
account of starvation and death
in American prisoner camps.
The Soviet Army newspaper in
Berlin, Taegliche Rundschau. de-
scribed its witness as a Hans
Oil, formerly of the German
Army. It quoted him as saying
About 100000 German soldiers
died in the large prisoner of war
camps of the Americans in the
Rhineland after the war"
A United States Army spokes-
man in Frankfurt described the
story as fantastic. adding: Con-
sidering the source, there is nc
need for further comment" Ger
mans who have been in Ameri-
can prisoner of war camps usually
laud the treatment and food.

his famous iron curtain speech
at Fulton, Mo. But Mr.. Truman
caught it plenty from American
critics for sponsoring the Church
i'll speech.
Westminster College, in Fulton,
Mo-, was Gen. Vaughan's alma
mater. Three years ago the COL
lege wanted to attract attention
to itself, and Gen. Vaughan per-
suaded Mr.. Truman to invite Mr..
Churchill there. Mr.. Truman went
along. So did Graduate Vaughan.
Gen. Vaughan went right from
college in 1916 to the Mexican
border with the 130th Field Artil-
lery. Missouri National Guard. and
was an artilleryman in World War
I from 1917 to 1919. Both he and
Mr.. Truman were battery COM
manders in the 35th Division.
After demobilization Gen.
Vaughan was a railroad tie sales
man and worked for a wood
preservation company as plant
superintendent and later as manu-
facturers' agent.
His official association with the
President began in 1910, when he
was Mr.. Truman's Senate cam
paign treasurer, but the story of
their first meeting is typical of
their friendship today.
In 1918 when they were both
artillery ieutenants at Fort Sill,
Mr.. Truman was hauled up to
division headquarters for a bawl-
ing out by the commanding gen.
eral. AS the CO was getting
warmed up, 1t. Vaughan barged
in. He made so much noise that
the general forgot Truman and
let 1t. Vaughan have both barrels.
Made Secretary in 1910.
When Mr.. Truman was returned
to the Senate in 1910, after a
hard-fought reelection campaign,
he made Gen. Vaughan his secre-
tary. Gen. Vaughan had kept up
his ! Reserve officer status and
early in 1912, the Army called him
to active duty as colonel.
Gen. Vaughan served 20 months
in Australia. principally as a
provost marshal-or chief Of our
Army's police-at Brisbane. He
spent five months in hospital as
a result of takeoff airplane
crackup. q !;
Back in Washington Mr.. Trus
man, then chairman of the Spe.
cial War Investigating Commit
tee, put him to work as his
executive assistant. When Mr..
Truman was inaugurated Vice
President in 1945, he put Gen.
Vaughan back into uniform as his
military aide.
TraditionAlly the Presidents
aides are Regulars. When Mr..
Truman succeeded Franklin D.
Roosevelt he went against that
unwritten rule by having Vaughan
boosted to the rank of brigadier
general and making him, q re-
servist, his Army aide. The major
general rank followed a year later.
The old Army has not liked that.
Among the ribbons Gen.
Vaughan wears on his uniform
are the Croix de Guerre and the
American Silver Star. That is two
more combat medals than Mr..
Truman ever got.

horee|| Says Steel Profits
Must Go for Improvements
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 18.-Jones &
Laughlin, the Nations fourth larg-
est steel company, told presidential
fact-finders today that the bulk
of it's profits must 60 to improve
ment of its plants.
Ben Moreell, chairman of the
board and president Of the corpo-
ration, declared this was the only
way that the job security of the
company's employees could be as
sured.
Mr.. Moreell, a retired Navy ad-
miral, said Jones g. Laughlin could
not meet the wage demands of the
CIO Steelworkers' Union.
"A workers job at jail is no
more secure than the soundness
of the company ITSELF" he said.
The companies will complete
their case next Monday and the
unions rebuttal is expected to
take most of the rest of next week.
The board has an August 80
deadline for submission of its rec
concentrations to the White House.
However, members have indicated
that an extension of time will be
sought.

by the Associoted Press

DAMASCUS, Syria, Aug. 18,-
Turkeys Minister to Syria, Alb
dulahad Aqshin. conferred today
with Premier Hasem Bey Atassi
and Foreign Minister Nazem
Kudsi.
Political circles interpreted
Aqshin's action as rejecting Tur-
keys desire to maintain friendly
economic and political relations
with the new Syrian regime,
which gained power following a
military coup last Sunday.
Col. Sami Hennawi, 51-year-
old Syrian hero of the Palestine
war. led the coup which brought
about the execution of President
Husni zayim and Premier Muhsen
Bey Berazi. Zayim had seized
power March 80. @
The Damascus radio denied yes

that the Syrian-Turkish border
was being closed. The boarder re-
mains open. The report originated
with a Cairo news agency, which
said monitors heard such an an
nouncement by the Damascus ra-
dio Tuesday.
The above dispatch, sent
through Syrian censorship, was
received several hours after the

check a published report from
Cairo that a civilian had assas-
sinated Col. HennaWi.

be able to explain his testimony
and the income tax matter to the
committee.
He was asked if he expected to
answer all questions put to him
by the committee when he is called
to testify.
Action to Be Delayed.
II expect to answer any ques-
tions," he began.
II expect to answer any ques-
tions consistent with-you know,
I think you'd better check with
my attorney" he continued.
When the reporter suggested
that might leave the impression
there were some questions he
might not answer. Mr.. Maragon
hastened to say: "Oh no. no."
Finally, he said. "As far as
I'm concerned, I will answer any
questions my attorney advises me
to answer"
Senator Hoey told reporters he
did not plan to send any informa-
ton to the Justice Department
until the end Of the public hear
ings. And then. he said, 1--WE
are not going to tell the Justice
Department to indict anybody.
We will just lay the testimony
before them"
The committee chairman said
he was aware that Justice Depart
ment observers had attended some
of the sessions.
To Push Probe to End.
Senator Hoey's prompt refuta-
ton of rumors that he was being
subjected to official pressure came
after Senator Mccarthy told re-
porters he was sure the chairman
would insist on continuing the
hearings until all phases are fully
explored regardless of who gets
hurt and regardless of any pres
sure that might be put on the
chairman"
AS for Gen. Vaughan, Senator
Mccarthy said he would not pre-
sumo to suggest who President
Truman selected as his military
aide, but he added:
II think the evidence leaves
President Truman no choice but
to ask for Vaughan's resignation
as co-ordinator of veterans af-
fairs"
In appointing Gen. Vaughan to
the new post as veteran co-ordina-
tor in 1916. President Truman
announced that the need for a
co-ordinator at the White House
level has long been evident since
there are some IA Federal agen-
cies directly involved in veterans
affairs"
Senator Mccarthy said his OBJ
lection to Gen. Vaughan in the
veterans job was based on Mr..
Woods testimony that the gen.
eral interceded to get a permit
for reconstruction work at the
Tanforan race track, Califor-
MAS oldest major track.
Senator Mundt, however, said
the testimony offered yesterday by
a former Agriculture Department
official, Herbert j. Hathorn, ranks
in my mind with the Woods testi-
mony." ra ~
Threat to Get" Job. ~'
Mr.. Hathorn, testifying to a con-
versation he had with Gen.
Vaughan on the question Of grant
ing the Allied Molasses Co. per-
mission to buy molasses, said the
general implied he could help Mr.,
Hathorn or "get my job" depend
ing on what the official did for
Allied Molasses. Committee men,
bers praised the former official
for bucking the general.
This (the Vaughan interven-
tom looks to be utterly without
explanation" Senator Mundt
commented. "Of course, there
may be some explanation we
haven't heard"
Before the session recessed,

gency," he said. I'VE aren't in a
period of crisis. Let's cut this in
half. Then we'll be watching the
taxpayers dollar and watching
what will be going on over there. "
Rich Criticizes Bill.
Representative Rich, Republi-
can, of Pennsylvania told the
sponsors of the cutting amend
ments they were on the right
track, but they weren't cutting far
enough. that you ought to cut
it out"
Calling the arms bill "the most
disgraceful thing that Congress
has ever been called to act upon"
Mr.. Rich added:
I'VE talk peace, peace, peace
and we want peace. But is this
the way to get peace? 1t makes
me shudder when I see this coun-
try going to a new low in foreign
policy"
In urging support of his amend
ment, Mr.. Richards said Ameri-
can military aid to other nations
may continue for 10 or Is years.
He argued that Congress should
grant a more limited amount now
than the administration measure
calls for and then take another
look at the program early in the
next session.
Policy Declaration Adopted.
Meeting at 10 am, two hours
earlier than usual, the House
quickly adopted without dissent
the general declaration of policy
which includes an expression of
hope that the free peoples of the
Far East also will work out with
the United States joint organiza-
ton for both economic and de-
tense planning. Z
The administration is driving
for passage of the bill today, but
if a variety of other amendments
are offered the final decision may
have to be put off until tomorrow.
The bill cleared it's first hurdle
in the House late yesterday. when
the special rule giving 1t the
right-of-way was, adopted, 275 to
Al. Yhis was nq regarded as, q
test however, of~the strength of
those who want to trim it. !
China Plea to Be Renewed. >
In addition to Western Europe.
the bill allots $211, 10000 to
Greece and Turkey and $27. $40
900 to Iran, Korea and the Phil
ippines. There may be other
amendments to cut these items,
but they are not likely to carry.
The effort to add 100000, 900
for non-Communist China. which
failed in the Foreign Affairs Com
mittee, also will be renewed on
the floor. but with not much
chance of carrying.
The Richards amendment ex-
presses the view of a considerable
number in both Houses who argue
that the United States should go
slow on the delivery Of weapons
until the mutual defense commit
tee called for in the treaty has
been set up.
Argument Contested.
The House committee took some
of the force out Of this argument,
however, by earmarking about half
of the European money for use be-
tween now and March 81, and stip-
ulating the rest could be used only
if President Truman advises Con-
gress unified defense plans have
been worked out. The treaty de-
fense committee is expected to be
functioning in 80 days.
The difference is that the House
language would not require Con-
gress to pass another bill before
the second half of the European
fund was used.
