2 Indicted in Aerospace Probe: A former manager of VSI Corp. of Carson and a former Boeing Co. supervisor were indicted by a federal grand jury in Seattle that has been looking into bribery and fraud in the aerospace parts industry. John P. Vaughn, the former VSI manager, was charged with three counts of perjury in connection with testimony before the grand jury in 1990. Raymond L. Pedersen, a former rivet supervisor in Boeing’s Commercial Airplane Group in Renton, Wash., was charged with mail fraud, promoting commercial bribery and extortion in a 15-count indictment. Three former VSI executives pleaded guilty June 5 to charges of defrauding the U.S. government. They admitted they provided prostitutes, cash and other gifts to win business.
