a lawyer who had come to him !

client who was serving a term for
selling liquor in the black market.
McCarthy tried to link the two
events, but Vaughan exclaimed:
“I don’t think that had a thing
to do with it. Senator.”
He said that when Neblett came
to him about the pardon he refer
red him to the justice department.
McCarthy said the lawyers’ cli
ent later got the pardon.
While Vaughan steadfastly
maintained that his hands stayed
clean in all his dealings with cap
ital ‘fix-it men,” Some Republi
can Senators had a lot more ques
tions to shoot at him.
McCarthy said yesterday he had
the feeling all along—and still felt
—that Vaughan did not profit per
sonally from any of his various
intercessions with the government.
“I am going to ask that the last
half of that statement be stricken
from he record,” McCarthy said
today, “that part in which 1 said
that still was my opinion.”
Before Vaughan was dismissed
from the witness chair and the
hearing recessed until tomorrow,
it also was developed that Vaugh
an has purchased automobiles for
friends.
McCarthy said an Oldsmobile
purchased in 1947 for Mrs. Norris
Cavanaugh, of Spring Green, Wis„
turned up in the black market 10
days later at a price of $3,500.
Vaughan acknowledged buying

The money issue, Starr said,
“can be settled as well in Hawaii
as in New York, but since Harry
Bridges (union president) has per
sistently refused to negotiate seri

that settlement can only be reach

“If by transferring negotiations
