The Wilmington morning star. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1909-1990, 1945-02-09
By ANN HICKS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-UP)-
Jacob Goldberg appeared before
the Senate War Investigating Com
mite today to defend his reputa-
ton as an auctioneer of surplus
property but wound up discussing
mother-of-pearl toilet seats, nylon
stockings and bribery Of Govern
ment officials.
Goldberg, auctioneer president
of Surplus Liquidators, Inc, also
had an unkind word for Mayor
F. H. LaGuardia of New York who
had charged that auctions held by
the firm were "scandalous." La
Cuardia was an early witness be-
fore the committee which is trying
to determine whether irregularities
cropped up while the firm was dis
posing of surplus war goods for the
government.
The white haired auctioneer be-
gan his testimony by reading a
statement which challenged La
Guardia to prove his charges. Com
mittee members heard him out
and then fastened to the subject
of toilet seats.
According to Mayo LaGuardia
YOU are a distributor of toilet seats,
ranging all the way up to mother
of-pearl toilet seats,' said Chair

Yes, SIR said Goldberg, land
I'm very proud of that connection. "
Sen. Homer Ferguson pointed out
that Goldberg had said he had

but now said he had been liqui-
dating toilet seats.

Goldberg replied. The corporation

Turning to testimony by John

have to use an ugly word"-

huge turf killing a few days ago,
runs al the Detroit race track to-
day But the chance 10 make the

Leystan is a 3-year-old Okapi

trained by r. S. Young. And he
can run.
Virtually nothing was heard of
Leystan when he was entered here
last Wednesday in the days best
race, a three-quarter mile dash

horses.
Leystan had a fair record as a
2-year-old, had Won Two and fin

$3.50. But his workouts weren't
impressive and he hadn't raced

NOT ALLOWED COUNSEL

Wiltse wrote Brown that when
he was brought into court he WAS
not allowed legal counsel. He also
stated that the arresting officer
was not present and that the JUS
tlce Of peace offered TO lower the
fine If he agreed TO plead guilty.
Brown said he was sending
copies Of Wiltse's letter 10 Heff-
master and Attorney General
Dethmers. He also stated that
Frank Banks, Midland conserva-
ton officer. has admitted that
WardenS have ignored the protests
OF motorists against search.
II cannot agree with Hoff-
master when he says that most
drivers do not object TO block
ade OF highways for search pur-
poses" the prosecutor declared.
"An automobile IL no differ
ent than a dwelling house and
reaction ia the same as II an
officer would 20 from house to
house on public streets and ask
permission 10 search private
homes"
Commenting on the Midland
complaint. Hoffmaster said in
Lansing today that all conserva-
tlon officers had been positively
instructed not 10 search automo-
blles If the driver protested and
that If any officer searched car
under protest he was violating in
Structlons given him by his su-
periors.
Road blockadcs have been
established on several main high
ways during the last two weeks
