Deep-Sea Treasure-Seeking
By DREW PEARSON
Washington In the confidential files of Sen. Clyde Hoey's
investigating committee is a report on Gen. Harry Vaughan and
his partner, John Maragon, in which they seek sunken treasure
at the bottom of the sea. ' And as usual, they pull a lot of political
wires to get the treasure.

For the past week the Capital Journal has been receiv
ing letters-to-the-editor expressing opinion on the exter
ior plans for the proposed county court house. These let
ters followed publication of views of the capitol group
buildings and the proposed court house.
The capitol group buildings followed a general archi
tectural pattern or, at least, to the average person look
ing at them, they appeared to be rather uniform in gen
eral pattern. But the court house drawing stood by itself.
And that seemed to be the case, even allowing for the why, nobody knows,
drawing instead of an actual photograph as in the case
of the other buildings.
These letters came from residents of Marion county,
for whom the court house is being built. All, but one, were
of the opinion the proposed county building did not con
form in outward appearance to that of the adjoining
capitol group buildings.
The Belluschi plans were of modern design, but "dif
ferent" from the other buildings. Perhaps that was all
right with the court house advisory board. Belluschi had
done some excellent work around Salem. Perhaps the board
felt the actual building would have a more conforming
appearance after its construction.

be had by a democracy it at
