High Court Upholds Perjury Conviction for Ex-White House Attendee
The Supreme Court refused to overturn John Maragon's 1949 perjury conviction in a Senate subcommittee probe of government contract solicitations by “five percenters.” Maragon, once a Kansas City shoeshine boy, faced eight months to two years in prison. The ruling also required CIO and AFL top officers to sign non Communist affidavits under Taft Hartley for NLRB coverage, and the court again declined to review seven Nazi death sentences.
