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.
