Of Controversy
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20 "--The
White House confirmed today
that a 41-year-old Australian bru
nette, who became a permanent
resident of the United States un
der special legislation passed by
congress, is acting as secretary to
President Truman's army aide,
Mai. Gen. Harry H. Vaughan.
The secretary is Mrs. Veronica
Jolly, a $4,600-a-year civilian em
ploye ol the army. She served with
a long series of high-ranking
American officers in the Pacific
during World War II.
Presidential Secretary Joseph
Short told a news conference that
Mrs. Jolly was assigned to the
White House on Dec. 1. He made
the statement after being question
ed about references to her in a
New York column.
. Cholly Knickerbocker, column
ist for the New York Journal
American, wrote in the newspaper
yesterday that "a former Austral
ian who got her United States cit
izenship in no time at all, had set
the capital "buzzing."
The column went on to say that
the White House was "whispering
about Harry Vaughan's beautiful
private secretary who was rushed
into her American citizenship and
is now firmly established in the
White House.
Asked about this, the only thing
Short would say about the Knick
erbocker column was:
"Is that his real name?'
Short said Mrs. Jolly became
t eligible for federal employment
after a private bill was passed by
congress last year admitting her
to the United States as a perma
nent resident.
The bill was passed without en
dorsement of the department of
Justice.
Phone Firm to
Appeal Rate
Boost Denial
Pacific Telephone & Telegraph
Co. served notice Tuesday it will
attempt to force the issue of high
er telephone rates by a mandamus
'action before the Oregon Supreme
urt. 1
! The requested rate increase was
denied recently by Public Utili
ties Commissioner George Flagg.
Subsequently the telephone com
jpany took the matter to Marion
county circuit court where Judge
George Duncan turned down its
jrequest for a temporary injunc
ition to prevent Flagg from enforc
ing his order.
Telephone officials filed a com
plaint in supreme court yesterday
ideclaring their intention of ap
pearing before the court next
Tuesday to request a mandamus
action against Judge Duncan. If
auch mandamus were granted, it
would open the way for higher
telephone rates pending a final de
cision in the courts.

The Mozart comic opera Bastien

as the members of the chorus. Sev

the chorus with soprano soloists.
Breadbaking by I Bartok, Joshua

gave contrast to fthe program.
The Echo by di Lasso proved
perhaps the most popular of the
lighter numbers. It was an inter

The latter's solo group included
Fifteenth Hungarian Rhapsody by
Liszt and Revolutionary Etude by
Chopin.
It is interesting to know that
the boys travel in an especially

H-Type Bomb Said

ENDICOTT, N. Y, Fell 20P
Dr. David Bradley, a physicist who
observed early j atomic tests, said
today he believed recent explo

bombs.
Bradley said he had reached this
conclusion by mathematical cal
culations based on reports that
some of the explosions broke win
dows 80 miles from the scene of
the detonations and that destruc
tion covered a radius of eight
miles.
There are about 20,000,000 acres
