A federal court jury took
only an hour and-a-half to
convict him of perjury.
The jury of nine men
and three women got the
Maragon case shortly be-
fore II o'clock est this
morning Federal Judge
Jennings Bailey cautioned
the jurors that the issue be-
fore them was not whether
Maragon did right or
wrong rs a man of influ-
ence among government
agencies.
The question for you to
determine, said the judge,
is whether when he testi-
fled, he testified to facts
that were not true and
which be believed to benot
true"
The government accused
Maragon of cashing in on
his Washington influence
in behalf Of business clients
but Of telling Senate in
yestigators that he never
got paid for that.

| stand opposed to the Master Plan
which denies the legend written over
the portal of the Supreme Court,
Equal Justice under law"
The proceeds of the county bonds
already issued should not be used for
the Master Plan, but, should be used
to improve our present high school
buildings at Accident, Friendsville,
Grantsville and Kitzmiller and to
build new high school at Oakland,
which, the people believed was the
intent of the legislators.
Common sense will tell us it is
cheaper to repair and add to the
existing high schools and build new
one for Oakland than to do away
with the existing high schools and
build two. The Master Plan is bound
to raise our taxes even if the State
will assume a good bit of the expenses
for it's enforcement, for, who is the
State but the people themselves.
Democracy in the minds of the
present officials mean government of
the people, by the people, but they
have lost all necessary connection
