The senate Investigating sub committee Is making an inquiry Into the operations of five per cent "Influence salesmen'" who help businessmen get government contracts. Maragon testified be fore the sub-committee in closed session Thursday and returned yesterday for two sessions of staff questioning. He told reporters that he asked the sub-committee to call column ist Drew Pearson, who recently reported that Maragcn was In the "five per cent" business. He also insisted that his name be cleared of the charges. Evidence Demanded He said he had asked that Pear son be requested to supply evi dence to back up the charges. Pearson said that he "should be delighted to testify" before the sub-committee "although I sus pect that certain matters pertain ing to Mr. Maragon and- General Vaughan may be a little too hot for even this committee to han dle." "General Vauehan" is Mai. Gen. Harry H. Vaughan. President Tru man's military aide who was once known as a good friend ol Mara- Eon's, It was made clear, however, that the sub-committee was check ing on Maragon before Pearson's column appeared.

N.C., replied: "The staff had been looking into the matter sometime prior to that date but he had not been asked to testify before that time. His appearance was not based on any newspaper publication but on information obtained from other sources." Another sub-committee source said references in the diary of James V. Hunt, who has been de scribed as a "five per centor," brought Maragon into the in quiry. This source could give no other details. Love Still May Triumph for Vet Fresno, Calif., July 30 tlP An ex-GI who offered "either of my two blue eyes" for money to bring his German sweetheart to California, today had more than half of the $1,100 he needs. Members of American Legion post No. 4 got Charles Eller "over the hump" yesterday when they furnished the former army ser geant with $500 for a refundable bond required by immigration authorities, before pretty Ly Elyse Beckmann, 24, of Ober Ramstadt, Germany, may join Eller here. "The Charles Eller fund" was augmented by another $100 fur nished by 27 individuals who read newspaper accounts describing me pngnt oi the jobless veteran.

Expedition in Turkey Searching for Istanbul HP Aaron J. Smith, middle-aged dean of a small Bible college in Greensboro, N.C., has arrived here at the head of a four-man American expedition. He Is determined to find Noah's Ark on Mount Ararat and deal ". . . one more blow to the con temptous mockings of a frowning, disbelieving world." The expedition originally was scheduled to include the amateur archeologist Egerton Sykes of London and Hans Roozen of Hoi- land, but the British and Dutch branches of the expedition were unable to get enough financial backing and the necessary per mits to enter Turkey. Smith and his three colleagues arrived in Turkey also without the necessary permits from the Turk ish government to enter the re stricted areas on Russia's border. where Mount Ararat towers 16,000 feet. Smith said he was aware of the Turkish government's refusal to permit Sykes to make the trip. but said "The Lord is guiding our hands and the difficulties we have run into so far have melted al most miraculously when we ap proached them. We have great hopes for getting the necessary permission." Permission Sought Smith applied for the needed permission through the American consulate immediately after his arrival. The expedition has been largely financed through the sale of a booklet published by Smith. In it he has collected all the vari ous reports on existence of the petrified remains of the Ark, be ginning with Flavious Josephus in 93 A.D.. and Marco Polo on up to the latest press reports of 1948. The latter reports quoted, Turkish peasants who had found' remains of what they believed to be an ancient ship. The tale has become folk lore in Turkey, where almost yearly some peasant shows up with bits of wood reported to have been taken from the Ark. Fliers, in cluding a couple of Americans, have also added their tales, re porting having seen the Ark from the air. Smith believes the Ark has been preserved by the fact that Noah "built it of gopher wood (cy press), which doesn't rot, and daubed it with pitch, both inside and out. Then the top of Mount Aararat has sub-freezing temper ature nine months of each year and it is preserved as in a refrig erator." Some of the peasant reports have described it as being petri fied, so hard they cannot hack pieces off it with their hunting knives. To Take Pictures The expedition consists of Smith, as leader; Walter Wood, Sea Cliff, Long Island, mechanl cal engineer, in charge of trans port for the trip; E. J. Newton, Colfax, N.C., photographer, and Welden Ogp, health physicist from Knokville, Tenn. Newton will be charged with taking pictures to prove the Ark's existence to the world. As equipment, a jeep and trail er, together with tents, camping equipment and mountain climb ing equipment is en route via ship. The group arrived by air, ahead of their Jeep. Smith said he was prepared to stay in Turkey until he finds the object of his search, but indicated his funds were limited. Smith also said he hoped the Russians would not cause any trouble.

Uli A psy chologist is trying to find out exactly how babies learn to talk by making extensive examina tions of George M. Crowham, a talking crow. Dr. O. M. Mowrer of the Uni versity of Illinois said he hopes to use Crowham as a "connect ing link" between humans and animals. He believes the process by which the bird picked up his ten-word vocabulary' is the same by which a child learns. Crowham was educated bv David Maxfield, 17-year-old Ed- wardsville. III., youth. When Maxfield decided to part with the i bird. he gave it to Mowrer for tests. Mowrer said most animals used for laboratory experiments "seerri I v'as not. 8iv?n. involves 14,000 incapable of learning to say alacres ol tieeded land ani -O00 single word." Some birds, how- j irds how-1 human In limited ever, can reproduce speech and "at least measure meaningfully use and understand it.
