Argue Over Inconsistencies
Much Of yesterdays hearing
consisted Of wrangling between
Mr.. Lishman and Mr.. Goldfine
as the subcommittee counsel
sought to show apparent in
consistencies between the ex-
plantations in the formal state
nent and the records Of the
Federal Trades Commission.
Those records indicated nu-
merous mislabeling complaints
against some Goldfine textile
mills as far back as 1912,
whereas Mr.. Goldfine insisted
his first contact with the FTC
was in late 1858.
Mr.. Lishman said he also
had no clear personal recol-
lection of many of the details
Of his calls to Mr.. Adams re-
cuesting information about
FTC or Securities and Ex-
change Commission scrutiny
Of his companies. He neverthe-
less insisted that he neither
asked nor received favored
treatment by the agency as a
result Of his communications
with Mr.. Adams.

The story Of Mr.. Goldfine's
checks to 81 Government en-
ployes-of whom only 80 were

Goldf1ne a list containing 81

list ought to remain confidGn-
tial. Mr.. Goldfine read one of
the names - Eugene Kinnaly,
an assistant to House Demo-
cratic Leader Mccormack.
Later. Mr.. Harris admonished
the witness to avoid name
dropping" and said the SUBJ
committee had no recourse but
to give out all the names. Be-
fore this could be done, Re-
preventative Mack, Democrat,
noted aloud that the last name
on the list was that Of Miss
Sherman.
Still later Mr.. Harris OBJ
served that one Of the names
on the list was that of Miss
Mary Ryan, a stenographer
