Westbrook Pegler argues that Major General Harry H. Vaughan remains in a political rather than military aide role at the White House under President Truman. He criticizes Vaughan's wearing of uniforms in civilian duties and reflects on military ethics, calling Vaughan an intermediary in wartime bureaucracy and noting the broader, tangled government information networks.

Deficit Blamed on 80th Congress and Tax Rise Plan
President Truman said at a news conference he will seek tax increases in the next Congress to cover a reported five billion dollar deficit. He blamed the Republican controlled 80th Congress for passing a tax cut favoring the rich and said there is no known remedy other than higher taxes. He recalled requesting four billion dollars in new taxes last January, which failed to pass, and noted a five billion dollar shortfall looming as the government faces a 35 billion dollar liability with no clear alternative.
