Jan. 3IP Dancer John Maragon, who once boasted easy, access to the White House, was Indicted by a federal grand Jury joday on charges of lying to senate investigators. , Maragon, pal of Maj. Gen. Har ry H. Vaughan, President Tru man's military aide, was Indicted on four counts of perjury aris ing from the senate Investiga tion of "influence peddlers." The indictment charged that: , 1. He lied on July 28 when he told the senate investigating com mittee he had no bank account in 1945 or 1946, except one In Union Trust Co. here. 2.. He also lied when he testi fied that from 1945 to July, 1949, he did not negotiate any govern ment matters for private busi nessmen and did not receive any money for such work. 3. He lied about his business connection when he took employ ment in the state department on a mission to Greece. Maragon contended he was not employed by anyone else at the time and had left the employment of Al bert Verley & Co., Chicago per fumers. All Under Oath 4. He lied when he testified be fore the senate sub-committee that about three months prior to July 28, 1949, he borrowed $5,000 from his mother-in-law. The indictment said that at the time Maragon allegedly lied be fore the sub-committee 1 it was competently in session and that all testimony was under oath. The indictment was brought under the District of Columbia criminal code which provides a penalty of 2 to 10 years' impris onment for conviction on each count. This would mean that Maragon faces a possible sentence, if con victed on all four counts of at least eight years and as much as 40 years imprisonment. 1 he pen alty on- conviction provides no fine.

It probably will vote to cut excise taxes. Spending Chances are slim that congress will cut spending enough to balance the budget. Substantial reductions are likely in foreign aid and defense. Social welfare Senate certain to pass a house-approved bill to liberalize old-age insurance pro gram. Much talk but no action expected on administration's com pulsory health insurance plan. Uncertain prospects on aid to edu cation. Civil rights Administration leaders intend to press for pas sage of fair employment prac tices bill. House passage expected over southern-protests. Filibuster probably will prevent senate pas sage. Rent Control Issue Rent control Outlook uncer tain for extension of rent con trols beyond present June 30 ex piration date. Foreign policy -t- Much debate likely on administration policy in China. New strains expected on bipartisan foreign policy. Some kir.d of legislation likely to carry out President Truman's point four program to aid backward areas of non-communist world. Labor Administration again expected to ask for repeal of Taft-Hartley law, but no serious repeal effort in prospect. Farm Much talk but no action on Brannan plan. Chances good for legislation providing some re- -vision of present cotton acreage quota system. Displaced persons Fair chance of senate passage of house ap proved administration bill to ease restrictions on admission of DP's. Oleo House-approved bill to repeal federal taxes on oleo--margarine is the senate's first, order of business. Passage con sidered likely. NO ACCOUNTING FOB TASTES Dublin,' Ga.
