Maragon's Checkered Career And White House Ties
District of Columbia police records show Maragon pled guilty to transporting liquor in 1920, faced three disorderly conduct arrests, and fought in a Washington Senators locker room. He clashed with State Department official Watson at a San Francisco convention, was fired by Baltimore and Ohio, scuffled with Brig. Gen. Lee in Rome, and was linked to anti Semitic distribution at a Democratic convention. He was questioned in the 1926 Detective Scriviner death, but later alibied. Despite tumult, he appeared at the White House after Roosevelt's death, joined Truman on the funeral train, attended Potsdam, possessed a White House pass, rode on the Presidential destroyer, and sat with Allighan at the Army Navy game, underscoring his enduring influence with Harry Truman.
