Mr.. Goldfne said his largest
gift had gone TO Mr.. KinnaIy,
and that he had known Mr.
Kinnaly for years.
Mr., Kinnaly told a reporter
at the Capitol that the only
gift he ever received from Mr..
Goldfine was a box Of fruit
and food last Christmas.
II have never received one
red cent from Goldfine or from
anybody else as gifts" he said.
Gifts for "POOr Workers"
Mr.. Goldfine testified that
the Christmas payments TO the
Government workers were OF
the $25 variety. "At Christmas
time these are all checks that
we send to some poor workers. y
he said.
A little later he commented /:
IF that is something bad
Ill have to be told about It,"
Mr.. Goldfine also said all
those checks we're cashed by
the people to whom they we're
sent.
Mr.. Lishman brought out
that Treasury and certified
checks do not bear the name of
the purchaser but the signature
of the issuing bank of1icial. Mr..
Goldf1ne said that a letter
would be sent along with the
check identifying the giver.
Information From Bank
The revelation that Mr..
Goldfine had made payments
to persons at the White House
and on Capitol Hill came as Mr..
Lishman sought to establish
the relevancy of records IN
volving the outstanding checks
against Mr.. Goldfine's COM
panies.
Mr.. Lishman said informa-
ton on the checks were OBJ
tained from the Pilgrim Trust
Co. Of Boston. A report sup
piled by the bank under sub
committee subpoena. he said,
listed a total of $413,012.11 that
was drawn on various Goldf1ne
companies between 1943 and
1947.
He said the list contained a
total of $357,867.05 in treasury
checks issued between 1941 and
1858 on the Goldflne COM
. panies.
Mr.. Lishman wanted to know
II Mr.. Goldflne would acknowl-
edge that the list was correct
II don't think it is" Mr.
Lishman replied. There are
a lot of things that are lncor-
rect, so I've been told by Miss
Paperman."
Asks Purpose Of Checks
Mr.. Lishman started going
over item by item the checks
on the list and seeking to draw
from the witness for what pur-
pose they were obtained. He
emphasized that the companie:
purchasing them have dealings
with the Federal Trade Com
mission and in one instance
with the Securities and Ex-
change Commission.
This apparently was done tc
lay the foundation for the sub
committees right to inquire
into the matter. The subcom-
mittee is charged with the re-
sponsibility of investigating the
operations of Federal regula-
tory agencies.
In one instance Mr.. Goldfine
acknowledged that a $4,000
check had been used for a mort
gage payment through the bank
for his East Boston Co
In another instance he testi-
fed that a $4,000 check ha6
been redeposited. But he ac'
knowledged that this took place
after the subcommittee re.
ceived the list from the bank.
After a long and involved dis
pute with Mr.. Lishman, Mr.
Goldfine promised to supply 6
statement to the subcommittee
when hearings resume mex
week on the accuracy of thu
list of checks.
Asks Full List
In defending his line of ques
tioning Mr.. Lishman said
Il submit that when he havt
more than $770, 1000 in Treasur!
and certified checks combined
outstanding and uncashed, it 1
relevant to have the recorC
show whether payments havt
been made to any public Off
