Mystery Witness Appears
Before Senate
In '5 Per Cent'
By WAKKF.N Dl'FFEE
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Washington, July 29 (LLP) John Maragon, a mystery-man
n round the While House, was
behind cloned doors today by senate investigators looking; into
the activity of Washington "five per centers."
Maragon's name first was drawn into the case yesterday
when he was questioned at a secret session of the senate in
vestigating committee. Ho returned today for f urtiier-tjues
Honing by the committee'
staff.
The Malt a-b o r n Greek
American, who has operated
with equal ease on two cont
inents at one time or another,
vigorously demanded a full
public hearing before the senate
investigating sub-co m m 1 1 1 ee
which questioned hltn in a secret
session yesterday.
Chairman Clyde R. Hoey. D.,
N. C, would not comment directly
on Muragon's request. But he said
when the time comes for public
hearings, we'll give everybody
whose name has been mentioned
s full opportunity to be heard."
Aug. 8 Date Set
Hoey snid the sub-committee
had agreed tentatively on Aug. 8
ns a starting date for public hear
ings on the "Influence industry."
He did not reveal who would be
the first witness.
Mnragon, a one-time Kansas
City bootblack, was once a close
friend of President Truman's
military nide, Maj. Gen. Harry H.
Vnughan. His name wns brought
Into the current inquiry when
members of the sub-committee
stnff began looking into the ac
tivities of James V. Hunt, an ac
cused "five per center."
The self-assured Maragon, who
had a free run of the White
House during early dnys of the
Truman ndminlstration, at first
denied flatly that he had nppcar
ed before the senate sub-committee.
He told reporters who question
ed him at the capitol that he had
been "cutting Et-ass" at his home
In nearby McLean, Va.
But his appearance had been
confirmed by responsible senate
sources In a position to know.
Accused by Pearson
Maragon finally dictated a brief
statement to wire service report
ers last night in a remote cornet
room of the capitol, while the
senate was in night session below.
He snld that, when columnist
Drew Pearson nccused him on
July 20 of being n "50 per center."
he went to Sen. Karl E. Mundt.
R., S. D., of the investigating sub
committee nnd nsked a full hear
ing "as soon as possible.".
"Today the committee received
my testimony in executive ses
sion," he said. Ho said he testified
for only 17 minutes.
Asked point blank If he were
a five per center or a 50 per cent
er, he snid:
"I have never been a five per
center. Certainly never a 50 per
center, or nny other kind of a per
center."

called for further questioning
Two Additional
Carrier Routes
Authorized Here
Authorization has been receiv
ed from Washington. D.C., postal
authorities for establishment of
two additional mail carrier routes
in Bend, according to Farley El
liott, postmaster.
Elliott said every one of the
six. city routes had become so
heavy that for the past year car
riers have had helpers daily tak
ing parts of the routes.
Under the new system the six
routes will be broken up, a count-and-weigh
check will be made to
see if the breakup has been pro
portional, nnd thereafter adjust
ments will be made on route
areas.
Elliott said under the annual
count-and-weigh check, usually
held in October, nn inspector
"wslks the bent" with each car
rier, tallying stops made and pos
sible stops.
Population Expanding
The procedure, abandoned dur
ing recent years, not only enables
the postmaster to know where
heavy nnd light routes lie, but
nlso to mnke accurate population
checks. Elliott said, since multi
plying 4l persons per number of
mnil stops is known to give a
close count of number of persons
living on mat mnil route.
Bend's population enn be esti
mated by Elliott as soon as the
new routes are set up nnd
count-nnd-weigh check taken, he
said. These facts will be available
some time in August after new
carrier bags and equipment have
been numbered and put into ser
vice.
Referring to Bends present
population, Elliott said every
route in Bend hns expanded. "The
city s growing pains hnve been
translated into fallen arches and
aching backs of our carriers," he
observed.

a basic bid on the Job in the
amount ol siao.uoo. Total cost
of the project, however, with the
addition of maximum excavation
estimates and an architect's fee,
will amount to $149,256.48, accord
ing to Hugh Hartman, school
superintendent.
Voters of the grade school dis
trict authorized a $140,000 bond

funds will be drawn this vear
from that sum to cover costs in

Disarmament
HopeDoubted
By Johnson
By Frank Eleazer
(United Ptcm Staff Corrcapondcnt
Washington. July 19 IP De
claring he would never trust Rus
sia, Defense secretary Louis John
son said today he could see no
hope lor peace through disarma
ment. "We fell for that once,"
he said.
"The only hope for peace lies In
strong American arms and a
strong American economy," he
told the house foreign affairs
committee.
While testifying in support of
President Truman's Sl.450.000.000
arms aid plan for western Europe,
Johnson was asked for assurance
that the United States, within the
framework of the United Nations,
still is "ready to disarm when the
rest are ready."
"We fell for that once," John
son shot back. "I think there is
peace for the world only in a
strong, armed America.
"There are powers in the world
I wouldn't trust for a moment so
far as disarming is concerned."
Johnson did not mention Rus
sia by name. But it was unmis
takable he meant the soviet union.
Must Be Inspection
Later, however, Johnson said
that some disarmament agree
ment might some day be possible,
when there is some dependable
system of inspection and other
safeguards.
"But with the forces that are
loose in the world today, the hope
for peace lies in strong Ameri
can arms and a strong American
economy," he said.
Johnson's views on disarma
ment were given in the question-and-answer
exchange which fol
lowed a prepared statement. In
that statement he said that unless
arms aid is sent immediately to
Europe the United States some
time might have to go to war to
liberate the countries from an
aggressor.
He said that the $1,450,000,000
arms program is, in his opinion,
the first installment of what prob
ably will be a four or five year
program,
Johnson said he "hopes" but is
not certain that costs of the mili
tary assistance program In future
years win decline.
NO ACTION PLANNED
Washington, July 29 iu The
house will take no further action
nt this session on a $613,000,000
military construction program
approved by the armed services
committee.
tion, was in charge. This
year's deficit coupled with
that of last year approximates
$4,000. When federal taxes on
this year's show are com
puted, the 1949 deficit may go
over the $2,000 mark. How
ever, committeemen said this
total will be pared if promised
contributions are received. But
partly offsetting the expected
revenues are bills that are still
coming in.
Change Approved
A change in the organlaztion's
fiscal year was approved, one new
director was elected and a report
at the two-hour meeting.
To meet the mounting obliga
tions, it is planned either to mort
gage or sell, the associations 40
acres, plus a 37-acre water right,
Just south of town. The associa
tion originally purchased this as
the site for a rodeo plant and.
with this in mind, it was turned
over to the city for development.
At its meeting Wednesday, the
city will be asked to turn the tract
back to the association. A com
mittee of three, N. R. Gilbert, A.
J. Glassow and A. T. Niebergall,
was named to determine whether
the acreage, Just south of Roose-
VAlt avpmiH In nnnrAn nf mnnlfl.
erable development, can be mort
gaged, to provide sufficient funds
to meet the association's obliga
tions. If this cannot be done, sale
of the rodeo grounds will be con
sidered. Association officials said
they will take this final action re
luctantly, for it will virtually nul
lify plans for the development
here of a rodeo arena.
Follies Lost Money
The difference between profit
and loss in the recent Fourth of
July show was principally the
river follies, presented by Port
land aquatic stars. The associa
tion had guaranteed the swim
mers $2500 for their two-day
show and the revenue was only
about $1500. Arch construction
also exceeded estimates, aggre
gating S1933. Total cost of con
structing the arch, boom and
seats was approximately $4600.
By-laws of the association were
amended last night, changing the
annual meetings from mid-year
to the second vyednesday in Sep
tember. This year new directors
will be named and officers elect
ed. It is expected that a decision
will be reached at the September
meeting as to whether a pageant
will be held in 1950. Some mem
bers last night expressed a belief
that if frills, such as the aquatic
show, are eliminated the pageant
will pay its own way. Construc
tion costs, it was agreed, are ex
cessive. It was also pointed out
that the "take" from seats is
small, fter construction costs
and amusement taxes are paid.
At last nights meeting, Jim
Lanzarotta was named to the
board of directors, taking the
place of Rodney Rosebrook, who
has been unable to attend meet
ings. Briefly discussed at the
meeting was the- matter of the
"lost fireworks. The committee
and pageant announcers were ex
onerated of blame In connection
with the reported mixup.
