Did Vaughan Have
Unlimited Author
ity In White House
WASHINGTON. (/P) — Senator
Mundt (R.-S. D.> said today he
wants to question Maj. Gen. Harry
H. Vaughan closely about whether
he has a “blank check of author
ity” at the White House.
“Sometimes,” said Mundt, “it
would seem that he does. But I
have a pretty good idea that Pres
ident Truman knew nothing about
a lot of Vaughan’s activities we
have been hearing about at the
five percenter investigation.”
The climax of the inquiry will
come tomorrow when Vaughan,
who is Mr. Truman’s army aide,
is scheduled to take the witness
stand.
His name has figured in the in
vestigation of influence peddling
from the start of the public hear
ings three weeks ago.
No hearing was booked for to
day.

Congress Set To
Investigated Army
Engineers
—
WASHINGTON, (/Pi — Rep. Sa
bath <D.-IIl.i nominated the army
engineers today as the ‘‘number
one target” of a prospective Con
gressional investigation of lobby-1
ing.
The chairman of the House rules 1
committee predicted the House
will start an inquiry soon after it ;
gets back from vacation, even if
the Senate fails to string along.
“I want the investigating com
1 mittee to go after the army corps
of engineers,” Sabbath said. “They j
influence Congress as no other I
body does.
“They are actually the indirect
representatives of power interests, i
They overrode President Roosevelt ;
when he tried to reorganize the i
govern ment. Now when the
Hoover commission recommends
reorganization, they are the first!
to oppose it.”
Members of Congress listen to
the engineers, Sabath said, “be
cause they can approve or disap
prove some little project on a
creek I can spit across.”

GI’s Gel Dividend
Applications Today
WASHINGTON, (Ah — This is
dividend application day for 16,
000,000 veterans ofi World War II.
Postoffices and veterans offices
throughout the nation — and U. S.
foreign service offices throughout
the world—start handing out divi
dent application forms to the ex
GI’s today.
Actual dividend payments will
not start until next January.
The forms will signify the vet
erans desire to share in the $2,800,
000,000 dividend to be paid next
year on about 20,000,000 national
service life insurance policies.
The policies are those taken out
between Oct. 8, 1940, and Jan. 1,
1948, and which were effeivcte for
three months or longer.
Beneficiaries of veteran-policy
holders who have died also will re
ceive dividend checks next year,
but they should not apply. Their
payments are being handled under
a different system.
Wallgren Will Fake
Federal Position
SEATTLE, (/P) — Ex-governor
Mon C. Wallgren told a King
County Democratic picnic gather
ing yetserday he plans to return to
Washington, D. C., within a month
— ‘possibly to take a federal posi
tion."
He did not elaborate, but friends
said he may yet head the national
security resources board. They
said Wallgren believes President
Truman may be able to appoint
him without Senate confirmation
under the new reorganization act
recently approved by Congress.
Wallgren’s appointment to the
post earlier this year was stymied
by refusal of a Senate committee
to report the matter out to the Sen
ate floor.
