Mr. Vaughn. Well, for me it was. Of course, in some cases it isn't.

I mean, it's just all according to——

Mr. Hubert. Well, you see, we don't know what the efficiency cut of four points means in terms of severity, and that's what we would like to know.

Mr. Vaughn. Well, normally for the last 3 or 4 years I have always carried a 90 efficiency, which is a fairly high efficiency, and I got cut four points on one certain thing, which I'm not familiar enough on how they grade on that—to actually explain it to you, but I went up to the civil service board when I got my efficiency and checked to see who, of course, they keep a record of anybody that changes your efficiency. My efficiency was changed by Chief Fisher. It was cut from a 90 to an 86 and on one particular phase of how they grade you—on dependability.

Mr. Hubert. Did you ascertain that that efficiency cut was done because of the Ruby incident?

Mr. Vaughn. Well, I didn't think—I thought possibly it was over the Ruby incident and I went and talked to one of my supervisors and I didn't feel that I should have had a cut on my efficiency under the circumstances but the point to me—there has—they have never actually proved that Jack came in that way.

Mr. Hubert. When you spoke to this officer, your superior officer about the fact that you didn't think you should be cut, what did he say?

Mr. Vaughn. Well, he said he didn't know what I was cut for.

Mr. Hubert. Who was that, by the way, what is his name?

Mr. Vaughn. I believe that was Sergeant Jennings, if I'm not mistaken.
