'Britain to Get Sympathy
"put Not Much Money
m Washington, July 7 W) Great Britain seemed likely today to
ftt American sympathy and not much else in her newest fin
ancial plight.
2 Members of congress generally reacted cooly to the announce
ment that Britain is down to her last $1,642,000,000 in gold and
ftllars. Their general observation was that the problem is one
file British will have to solve-
tjjr themselves without Increas
td U. S. financial aid.
In diplomatic circles, Secre-
Cry of State Acheson displayed
tendency to discount tne Bnl
fih situation somewhat.
He said that, like an individ
ual whose income drops, Britain
Was cutting her purchases. He
$ded this was an unfortunate
temporary necessity, however,
tid not a permanent solution.
Unless congress changes the
figure, England will get $920,-

000,000 in Marshal plan aid this
year. That was taken into ac
count by Sir Stafford Cripps,
finance minister, in announcing
drastic cuts in buying from the
United States and other dollar
areas.
Democrats and republicans
joined in saying that beyond the
Marshall plan aid the British
had better not count on addi
tional U. S. help.
Senator Taft of Ohio, chair
man of the senate republican
policy committee, told a report
er he thinks most of the mem
bers of his party will regard the
$920,000,000 as the limit of aid.
"The British have a planned
economy and it just hasn't work
ed," he said. "They'll have to
work out their problems for
themselves by changing their
system or doing something else.
We can't be expected to give
them any more help than we al
ready have."
Senator McCarran (D-Nev.),
a member of the appropriations
committee, said he agrees that
"we can't go any further along
with them."

Vaughn Knows
300 5 Percenters
Washington, July 7 M") Maj.
Gen. Harry Vaughan, military
aide to the president, knows of
"about 300 persons in Washing
ton who engaged in contract
negotiations.
He said so here last night in
response to questions by re
porters as to his views on reports
that a so-called "five percenter"
had used "influence" to gain
(government contracts for firms
willing to pay.
Vaughan did not identify any
of the 300.
The questioning took place at
the railway station where news
men met Vaughan on his return
from a 19-day vacation to Guat
emala. Vaughan also was questioned
about the financing of his vaca
tion trip.
"That is nobody's God damn
business and you can quote me,"
Vaughan told a reporter who
asked about it on his return last
night.
Vaughan went on to explain,
however, that there were 11 per
sons in the vacationing party
and each paid $341 fare for the
trip. The boat trip was aboard
a ship of the United Fruit company.
The general declined to dis
cuss a scheduled congressional
investigation of so-called "five
percenters." Paul Grindle, a
Massachusetts manufacturer, set
off the investigation by saying
that James V, Hunt, a manage
ment counsellor, had claimed to
have influence ' with Vaughan

These were among the "re

go. They were obscured at the
time by the "anti-inflation"

trols sought simultaneously.
