"Alleged" OSS and CIA Ties

Unlike the sourced paragraphs about Pauley's links to the FBI and CIA during the Berkeley student demonstrations, I've removed the paragraph below, which lacks sources. Also, the suggestion that there is something unusual, or even sinister, about the social acquaintance of wealthy and powerful individuals, regardless of their Party affiliation, seems naive. And the one source cited does not verify the information in that paragraph.

1945-1965: OSS, and CIA?

Pauley allegedly had close ties to OSS officer Allen Dulles (later CIA Director), and it is confirmed that CIA Director John McCone knew him personally, despite Dulles' and McCone's Republican affiliations.[1] Pauley aided the Dulles brothers former clients in shifting Nazi assets out of Europe and out of Soviet hands or knowledge. Pauley also assisted surveying Japan's assets and determining the amount of its war debt.

Through his business in the Caribbean he and Howard Hughes allegedly granted some access to CIA officials. It is not known if the deal with Zapata Corporation was similarly useful to the CIA. He also allegedly engaged in money-laundering through Mexican banks, in part to disguise campaign contributions -- including those to Richard Nixon.^{[citation needed]} Richard Smith (talk) 05:52, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pauley Pavillion dedicated to Pauley's parents?

What is the cite that Pauley Pavillion is dedicated to Edwin Pauley's parents, not Edwin himself? I don't see that claim made in the Wikipedia article on Pauley Pavillion. Also, the full name of the stadium is Edwin W. Pauley Pavillion (as seen in on photo in that entry). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.230.119.11 (talk) 21:58, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I concur with 216.230.119.11 and have replaced the sentence accordingly. I have also added a citation to the official Pauley Pavilion page at UCLA which does say it was named for Edwin himself. OCNative (talk) 02:48, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
