Many housewives were disap-

reports from their stores showed
many women had gained the false
impression that all meat prices
were ordered cut. Only a few
types of beef are included in the

price increases are authorized.

prison sentence. imposed last May

Court consideration Of Maragon's S
petition for a review. The court
order upholding the lower court
verdict did not disclose how the
other justices voted.
Indicted for 1949 Testimony.
Maragon, a one-time Kansas
City bootblack, developed an active
acquaintance with many political
Ipersonages here. He was indicted
as a result of his testimony in
July, 1949, at a closed session of
the subcommittee inquiring into
Influence peddling in the Govern

The two counts on which he was
convicted charged that he falsely
said he had only one bank account
in 1945-46 and that he had sew
cred his connection with a Chi
cago perfume concern in 1945
when he went on a State Depart
ment mission to Europe.
Verdict Affirmed in October.
The United States Court OF
Appeals last October affirmed the
perjury conviction. Maragon
asked a Supreme Court review on
grounds that he had not inten-
|tionally made false statements
that Government employees should
not have been on the jury, that
|no witnesses positively contra
Idicted his testimony. and that the
Senate subcommittee was not "a
competent tribunal" within the
meaning Of the perjury law.
