And with every passing month, the warti friction between Russia and the United States has become mor vibus, I t arguing that Mr. Roos- evelt and Mr. Hull may have had excellent diplomatic or military reasons for their caustic state- ment At this moment we are only concerned with the truth.

S then, Congress has refused to let Vaughan have his Argentine medal, Peron has got $125,000,000 from the Export-Import Bank, and a Senate investigating committee found Vaughan guilty of all sorts of irregularities, such as putting race-track construction ahead of veterans’ housing; doing unusual favors in return for deep-freezes; cemoting Army officers because they tangled with John Maragon; and to increase grain quotas for w y distillers at a time when grain was crucially needed in Europ In tk tee rendered an official report in- dicating, in official and eloguent | language, that General Vaughan mv;,‘n be something faintly resem- bling an s. o. b. himself. ‘ Senator Elmer Themas of Okla- | liar" charge | 1946, lhflt‘ homa also hurled th: when I reported he had been spe : in cotton | through his wife.

Later, his clients pled guilty and paid a million-doliar fine, Congressman Andrew May—called me a liar over the Erie Basin mu- nitions fraud. He and the Garsson brothers went to jail. Destroyers to England—When this column reported in 1940 that the United States would trade 50 destroyers to England for island bases it was categorically denied by the Whitc House; then official ly confirmed two weeks later. Senator Lundeen—When Conator urideen~of Mitinesota was killed it a mysterious airplane crach in 1940, I revealed that he was en ioute to deliver a pro-Nazi speech written for him by George Sylvester Vier- eck, a paid agent for Hitler. Sen- ators Wheeler and Bennett Clark immediately delivered scathing speeches on the Senate floor and hurled the liar charge. Later, Vier- eck was prosecuted for being a German agent, and during the course of the trial it developed that he had written Lundeen’s speeches. He went to jail Louisiana Scandals—When brib- ery and corruption was charged by this column regarding Gov. Rich- ard Leche, Democratic national committeeman, Seymour Weiss and various of the old Huey Long gang, the charge of liar echoed all over Louisiana, But, in the end, all the officials named went to jail. These are some, though not all, of the people who have called me: a liar. Now I don’'t want to give the impression that I consider myself always right, because I'm not. Be- ing human, 1 make mistakes. But on important issues I simply can't afford to make them too often. Having got steamed up on this! subject, I have exhausted my quota of space in today’s paper without discussing my differences with Senator Taft; so I'll have to come back to that in a future column. After all, I've got to get that straightened out for the sake of harmony in. the Pearson family.
