Maragon, Five Percenter,
Released from Prison
PETERSBURG, Va., (/P)—John
Maragon, the former Kansas City
bootblack who took a shine to
celebrities and became a frequent
visitor at the White House, was
released from the federal reform
atory here Friday. He had served

sentence for lying to a Senate
subcommittee investigating Five
Percenters.

two perjury counts—lying about
a bank account in Texas and
denying he was on the payroll of
a perfume company while em
ployed by the State Department
- on a mission to Greece.
He was once a friend of Major
Gen. Harry H. Vaughan, Presi
dent Truman’s military aide.
Truman Hasn’t Changed
His Mind About Ike’s
Visit to Korean War
WASHINGTON, (/P)—President
Truman, who once changed his
mind about whether Dwight D.
Eisenhower should succeed him,
hasn’t changed it about the Presi
dent-elect’s trip to Korea.
He said so at his news confer- I
ence Thursday. He had nothing
to add or take back, he said,
from the remark he made a week
• earlier. He had said then Eisen
hower’s campaign announcement
he would go to Korea was dema
goguery. and that Eisenhower
had to go through with it.
The President had no comment
on Wednesday’s meeting between ;
Eisenhower and Gen. Douglas j
MacArthur, who says there is a
way to end the Korean war.
Reporters’ questioning of him;
on a variety of other subjects pro-1
duced little specific comment.

ROK Army Trainees I
**- - , . i •
One of the miracles of the Korean
war has been the resurgence of
the Army of South Korea. ROK
divisions were virtually wiped out
in the see-sawing campaigns that
marked the first year. Now, thanks
to American training, and American
equipment, the ROK Army is again
a potent fighting force. Above,
Korean inductees lined up before
boarding an LST. Relatives see
them on their way.

“Man Without Country,”
Michael Patrick O’Brien,
Lives as Nautical Yo-Yo
HONG KONG, <ff) — Michael
Patrick O’Brien, who became a
nautical yo-yo for lack of a pass
port, Thursday started his fourth
month of ferry boat rides between
Hong Kong and Macau.
He began his 74th round trip,
thankful that “Anyhow, I’ve got
a roof over my head.”
Since he boarded the ferry Lee
Hong at Macau Sept. 18 he has
logged nearly 6,000 miles and has
spent 19 days in drydock.
He can’t get off at either end
of the 40-mile run because immi
gration authorities refuse to rec
ognize him. He entered Macau
from Red China and was given
permission only to pass through.
O’Brien, 57, says he was born
in the U.S. The State Department
says he’s Hungarian.
So he seems doomed, like the
legendary Flying Dutchman, to
sail the seas forever.
Results of Eisenhower
MacArthur Meeting
Are Not Disclosed
NEW YORK, (JP) — President
elect Dwight Eisenhower cloaked
in deep secrecy Thursday the
Korean war and world peace
views outlined to him by Gen.
Douglas MacArthur.
Aides said Eisenhower was
studying ideas MacArthur set
forth at their history-making con
ference but they added that no
detailed public account of what
was discussed can be expected.
The meeting was arranged by
John Foster Dulles, who also sat
in. When it was over, neither
Eisenhower nor MacArthur said
in their brief statements whether
they were in agreement on a
course to follow in Korea.
An Eisenhower aide said pri
vately there was no doubt that
MacArthur had set forth a plan.
