Andrew May, Once Power, Dead at 84
     Prestonsburg, Ky. (AP) – Andrew Jackson May, a power in Congress until war-bribe charges ruined him, died Sunday in a hospital.
     The 84-year-old Democrat entered the hospital four days ago with a kidney infection and complications.
     May, a backwoods lawyer who first went to Congress in 1930 and became chairman of the potent House Military Affairs Committee, was convicted at Washington 1947 with munitions makers Murray and Henry Garsson of conspiring to defraud the government.
     He was accused of accepting $53,000 in bribes from the Garssons. It was charged by the government he used his influence to obtain contracts and other favors for the brothers in World War II.
Sent to Prison
     May and the Garssons where sentenced to from eight months to two years in federal prison. May’s attorney twice carried his case to the U.S. Supreme Court but was unsuccessful and May in 1949 went to the federal correctional institution near Ashland, Ky. He was paroled after nine months and 13 days.
     In refusing to reduce May’s sentence, U.S. Dist. Judge Henry A. Schweinhaut said sternly: "The integrity of the national Congress is at stake."
     The Garsson brothers were confined at Danbury, Conn. They were released in 1951. Murray died March, 26, 1957, penniless and homeless. Henry lives in New York and is a consulting engineer.
Top Brass Testify
     Witnesses at their sensational trial included some of the top brass of World War II. Both President Eisenhower, then a general, and then Secretary of War Robert P. Patterson testified that May asked favors of them for the Garssons and their friends.
     May maintained his innocence to the end, and his popularity in this eastern Kentucky mountain area never waned, although he (Turn to May, Page 8) (May, Continued from Page 1)
was defeated for re-election in 1946.
      He once pleaded: "I was superintendent of a Sunday school and taught Bible class in Kentucky.      I have never tasted liquor, wine or beer and I have never used tobacco in my whole life. I have never received a dollar that was not honestly earned."
Lumber Firm Crux
     At the core of the government’s case was the disputed ownership of the Cumberland Lumber Co., in the mountains near Prestonsburg.
     The government charged the Garssons bought the firm for May and then poured more than $53,000 into it.
     May contended he merely acted as manager of the small company. He acknowledged that he took all the money the Garssons sent him for the firm but insisted he paid it all back—"every cent of it"—or spent it on the plant.
     The aging ex-congressman in 1952 won his fight to return to law practice when the Kentucky court of appeals reinstated him as an attorney—a privilege he had lost upon his conviction of a felony.
     In the same year, President Harry S. Truman pardoned May, restoring his full citizenship rights.
