Treasury in Red
$3,304,000,000
Washington, Sept. 15 (U.B
The treasury has struck a bal
ance for the first 10 weeks of
the new fiscal year and reports
itself in the red for $3,304,000,
000. There were years during the
fnnlirtee and Hoover adminis
trations when that sum would
ave paid an government ex
penses iui iiiuutiia.
On a weekly basis since fiscal
1950 began on July 1, the treas
ury has been spending beyond
its income at an average rate of
$330,478,000. Weekly income in
the same period averaged $507,
137,000 and the weekly average
of spending was close to $1,
000,000,000. The actual spending
figure was $837, 616,000 every
seven days.
The most significant figure in
the daily treasury report which
covered the first 10 weeks of the
fiscal year was on spending. It
cost the taxpayers nearly $2,
000,000,000 more to run the
federal government during the
first 10 weeks of this fiscal year
than it cost during the same
period a year ago. That is a big
increase.
These spending figures from
the background of a growing
dispute between President Tru
man and an economy group in
congress for which the democra
tic spokesman is Sen. Harry F.
Byrd of Virginia. Sen. Robert A.
Taft, (R., O.), and many other
republicans also have been
hammering at government costs
and they recently were joined
by former president Hoover.

No One Is Closer to Chief
Executive Than His Aide
By MERRIMAN SMITH
fUniird Prtu White Houm Rtportrr)
Washington, Sept. 15 U. The influential role of Maj. Gen.
Harry Vaughan in the Truman administration is nothing new for
military aides to presidents.
Vaughan has been hot front page material in recent weeks be
cause of his friendship for and assistance to key figures in the
current senate investigation of!
oclock. This years program
will be outlined by Linn coun
ty's home extension agent, Miss
Viola Hansen.
The afternoon session will be
devoted to a discussion of what
constitutes a good business
meeting. Yearbooks for the co
ming year will be distributed
and officers' handbooks brought
up to date.
so-called "five percenters."
Probably no one in govern
ment today is closer to the pre
sident than Vaughan, a reserve
officer who first met Mr. Tru
man in the Missouri National
Guard after World War I in
which both served as artillery
men. Vaughan has the president's
ear whenever he wants it. His
duties, according to his own tes
timony before the senate inves
tigators, go far beyond the sim
ple liaison functions of one of
three armed services aides at the
White House. He does, to put
it simply, what the president
asks, and sometimes more. He is
paid a major general's salary of
$10,744 a year.
The historical fact is that this
has been going on for years.
Military aides in a number of
administrations have occupied
powerful roles of influence. Sev
eral became ambassadors. Many
served as presidential secreta
ries concurrently with their du
ties as aides.
Brig. Gen. Horace Porter, for
example, served as aide and
private secretary to President
Grant. He became so popular for
finding the grave of John Paul
Jones in France that congress
gave him the privilege of the
floor of both houses for life.
Maj. Archibald Butt, aide to
Presidents Taft and Theodore
Roosevelt, was noted in Wash
ington for hit influence, particu
larly in the administration of
"T. R."
Vaughan'i rank as a major
general is not without precedent.
The army aids the late Frank
lin D. Roosevelt was Maj. Gen.
Edwin M. (Pa) Watson who also
served for several years as the
president's appointment secreta
ry-
Watson s secretarial role was
one of considerable power be
cause to a large extent, he exer
cised control over Mr. Roose
velt's daily list of callers. Wat
son was at the side of FDR at
all the important wartime con
ferences and died en route home
from Yalta in 1949.
A number of presidents gave
their military aides a choice
plum on the side the job of
superintendent of public build
ings and grounds in the District
of Columbia. As a matter of
fact, this was the custom rather
than an exception from the
early nineties until the time of
President Coolidge.
