Washington. July 21 U' Presi
dent Truman snid today ho does
not believe his military aide, Maj.
On. Hiirry Vaue,han, was mixed
up with thfi s so called "live per
tenters."
Hut he told newsmen he would
permit Vauuhan to testify in a
senate Investigation it Vaughan
is asked to do so.
A senate investigating commit
tee which is looking into the cap
ital's thriving "influence indus
try" has not yet decided whether
to call Vaughan. Sub-committee
chairman Civile M. Hoev, I)..
N.C., said it will study all the
evidence first.
"Five per centers" are Washing
ton agents who et government
contracts for businessmen in re
turn for a fee or commission,
usually five per cent of the con
tract. This is not an illegal prac
tice. Vaughan's name figured in
the current inquiry from the start
when one "five per center" boast
ed he was a very close friend of
the general.
2 Suspended
Two other army generals have
been suspended from duty pend
ing investigation of their alleged
connections with "five per cent
ers." However, President Truman
told a news conference that he
had not given any particular in
directions to Defense secretary
Louis Johnson for an investiga
tion, beyond policies which have
been in effect all along.
The president was asked wheth
, cr he had heard that Vaughan
was mixed up with five per cent
ers. The president said he had
read about it in the newspapers,
but he did not believe the stories.
The president was asked wheth
ei Vaughan would be permitted
to testify if the senate investiga
tors called him.
Certainly, the president an
swered. May Lose Jobs
Vaughan, as is his usual cus
tom, was standing behind the
president during the news confer
ence, along with the chief execu
tive's navy and air force aides.
Vaughan, in an angry outburst
recently, told newsmen that he j
knew of 300 five per centers in
the capital.
Meanwhile, the Washi n g t o n
Post reported that the two sus
pended army generals are not ex
pected to get their jobs back.
The two men are Maj. Gen.
Alden H. Waitt, chief of the chem
ical corps, and Maj. Gen. Herman
i-ekiman, quartermaster general.
They were suspended last week

I Transient Held
In Murder Case
Portland. July 21 '111 -Police
said today that Howard Jack
Holmes, 48. a transient, who was
made an outside (rusty followliiK
a drunkenness arrest, lias been
identified hy fingerprints us a
lavenmrt, la., murder suspect.
State authorities apprehended
Holmes near Kugene when pollee
fingerprint expert Herman 'lint
said the man's prints compared
with those of an eastern police
! bulletin. No details of the crime
were given. .
Holmes was arrested here last
Friday for drunkenness and' fined
$20 in municipal court. He hud
been sent out with a trusty work
gang at the Portland auditorium
when Tint made his discovery.
Search at the auditorium failed
to disclose the suseet and it was
learned lie hail taken time for
a railroad Job at On k ridge. Ore.
State police took him in custody
at Oakridgc last n.ght and placed
him In the Land county jail at
Kugene for Pavenport authori

There are less than 200 profes
sional U. S. educators in Japan,
fewer than enough to operate the
school system in a city the size
of Dallas, Texas.
If the education people in Gen
MacArthur's headquarters start
ed out to check on whether the
Japanese were obeying the eduro
lion directives, it would take 40
years to do the Job because of the
lack of personnel.
Not Enough Building
American emphasis on the eco
nomic program prevents the con
struction of the necessary num
ber of buildings because the ma
terials are "needed" elsewhere.
Japanese teachers are so under
paid that it is impossible to get
enough qualified instructors. A
teacher gets approximately the
same salary as a servant working
in the home of occupation person
nel and doesn't have the chance
to eat "left overs" as servants do.
Although old text books were
thrown out. paper shortage has
prevented rapid replacement with
