Disaster Dutch airliner on its return flight and by a chartered American plane The Washingfon Merry-Go-Round f By DRE;VTEARSON (Continued Irum Page l) the Housing Expediter in Washing- ton in October, 1947. With him came the fabulous/ Greek friend of General Vaugh- | an’s, John Maragon, who had ac- companied President Truman to Potsdam, caused the demotion of an Air Force General, once held a White House pass and a special White House parking reservation. This is the same Maragon who has| demanded that this columnist be called before a Senate investigating committee. Needless to say I should be happy to appear. Mori and Maragon informed the | Housing Expediter’s Office that the Tanforan track was now under new ! ownership, though how they ufler-! ed any prcof remains a mystery, since the wartime owner, Joe Rein- feld, never was known to the pub- lic. Reinfeld, one of the biggest rum runners of prohibition days, was the chief secret owner, and his name only leaked out on Jan- uary 15, 1849, when he was sued in Federal court. ¥ Fifteen months earlier, however— in October, 1947—FEugene Mori had told government officials he was Tanforan’s new owner. i GEN. VAUGHAN INTERVENES It was at about this point that General Vaughan first intervened. Apparently he didn't like the way the Housing Expediteér treated his bosom pal, Maragon, for he com- plained about it to his other pal, lobbyist James Hunt, and a few days later Hunt showed up at the Housing Expediter's office alone. Hunt told housing officials that hif friends from the Tanforan track | hadn't been treated courteously. He also warned that Housing Chiet Frank Creedon could not afford to, get in wrong with his “friends,” though he did not identify who those friends were. Housing officials blew up, said there had been no Jack of court- esy and dig not change the in- junction which banned the use of building materials by Tanforan. HUNT AND MARAGON WERE RIVALS The lobbying talks dragged on. Hunt and Maragon vied with each other to see who could do the most for Tanforan. At one point, lobby- ist Hunt complained to housing officials that he was being pester- ed by Maragon, that Maragon tele- phoned at all hours of the day and night, even insulted Mrs. Hunt. At another time Maragon phon- | ed Jack O'Brien of the Housing Expediter's office, said he was “Drew Pearson” and demanded know what was “going on around: there.” The call insinuated skul-! duggery and was aimed to upset Hunt'’s lobbying efforts. After more than a month of this, General Vaughan apparently con- cluded that his boy friends weren't .

But the American Association of University. Professors Its committee on academic freedom has issued the following statement: S0 long as the Communist party is a legal political party, affiliation with it should not be regarded as a justifiable reason for exclusion from the academic profession.

So he telephoned Housing Expediter Tighe Woods himself and asked for an appoint- ment. Later that afterncon Vaugh- ex- that he was personally interested in Tanforan, argued that policy to and that the government’s was to grant building permits Tighe Woods had then been in office only six days, and the in- fluence of the White House was potent. He sent a memo to the Justice Department stating that the in-, junction against Tanforan could be} lifted. Simultaneously Tanforan | submitted notices from the oblig- ing city of San Bruno claiming that the race track was a fire and | health hazard unless cleaned up. So, at long last, the ban on Tanforan was lifted, chiefly on General Vaughan's plea that its ownership had changed. As of this week, however, Justice Department officials, when queried, said they had no evidence that the ownership of the race track had really changed. Therefore, it may still be that! Joe Reinfeld, who once ran the | biggest fleet of rum boats off the Jersey coast and who was once in- dicted for the murder of a prohibi- tion agent, is still the real owner of Tanforan and the man who really profited from General Vaughan's lobbying against the veterans. It is true that track president! Guy Standifer was out, having gone to jail; and that Eugene Mori was the new president. But according to a Federal court deposition pub- lished by the Newark Star-Ledger on January 15, 1949, the chief owner of the track. MARAGON’S INCOME TAX It now looks as if Johh Maragon was in serious trouble. over both his income tax and perjury. Sen- lished the fact that the lobbyist who long had the inside run of the White House maintained a secret bank account in the National Bank in 1945 and 1946. Approximately $40,- 000 was deposited there. Despite this, Maragon informed the Senate investigating committee that he had only a small income in | 11945, 46 and '47 and he failed to reveal his San Antonio bank ac- count. All this was sworn to un-i| der oath. } Astute William Rogers, counsel| of the committee, produced a copy of Maragon's 1945 income tax and asked whether it was a correct| copy. | “That is right,” nodded Maragon. “And that shows,” pointed out Rogers, “that your total income for | the year was $7,740. Is that right?” “That is right,” agreed Maragon. | “It shows,” continued Rogers.‘\ 1,740 from the Baltimore and| Ohio Railroad and $6,000 from the | Albert Verley Company, Chicago, | continued.
