Press Release Allowed
Qualified Immunity

pass on the issue of a qualified
immunity. 81
Qualified Privilege Allowed
Today the appellate court
stated that Mr.. Bars press
release had a qualified privilege
against libel. 1t said such priv
ilege exists when q commune
cation relates to a matter Of
interest to one or both Of the
parties to the communication
and when the means of publi-
cation adopted are reasonably
adapted to the protection of
that interest.
Recently, the United States
Court Of Claims held that the.
terminal leave plan was legal
and devised in good faith. It
awarded 5000 to Mr.. Madiganc
for funds which had been
withheld from his retirement
annuity and for 259 hours of
annual leave which had beeh
deducted by the Government.
Today's opinion was the con-
cluSion of Chief Judge Henry
w. Edgerton and Judges
Charles Fahy and John A.
Danaher, The opinion was un-

holders SUIT Stlll pending
against one of his concerns.
ETC records show that in
August, 1856. a complaint was
announced against three Gold
uncontrolled companies in
New England. These were
Mortified Mills, Inc. OF North
field, VT; Lebanon Wooden
Mills Corp, of Lebanon, N. H.,
and Strathmore Wooden Co. of
Boston. The charge was. mis-
branding of textiles.
On February IA, 1857, Mr..
Goldfne's three companies and
the ETC entered into a consent
order prohibiting the concerns
from labelling as 70 per cent
guanaco and 80 per cent wool
fabrics which ETC said con-
tanned substantially less" of
the costly guanaco.
Agree Not to MisIabeI
The companies agreed to
meet the requirements of the
Wool Products Labelling act
and appropriate rules in label
ing their products. In addi-
ton, Mortified and Strath-
more agreed not to mis-
represent the fibre contents of
products and to stop furnish
ing labels to others which mis-
represent fibre contents.
AS required by law, the
companies filed reports of
compliance in July 1957-1l
months after the trouble
started.
His difficulty with the SEC
began in May, 1854, and was
not marked closed" until July
of 1856.
The SEC brought action ini-
TALLY in the United States Dis
trict Court at Boston against
Mr.. Goldfine'S East Boston Co.,
a holding company, and its OPP
Grating subsidiary, Boston Port
Development Co. The suit was
designed to compel East Bos-
ton to file annual reports re-
quired by law, and to enjoin
the concern from failing to file
future reports.
East Boston Held Delinquent
SEC asserted that East Bos-
ton was delinquent in filing
seven consecutive reports, from
1947 through 1858.
In a final judgment handed
down in July, 1855, the judge
gave the company until the
following month to file. Then
East Boston asked for and OBJ
tanned an extension to Novem-
Der /, 1855.
When the new deadline
passed without the reports be-
ing filed, SEC moved to have
the company held in contempt.
The judge imposed $4,000
fine which he suspended if the

company complied with the
court order within 80 days.
At the end of that time the
company still had not satisfied
the agency and asked the
Judge to invoke the suspended
fine. But the judge said he
had made a mistake and
should not have imposed a
criminal contempt type fine in
a civil contempt type action.
New Report Objected To
BY now the spring Of 1856
had rolled around. The COM
pany filed q consolidated re-
port which. the agency con-
tended. still did not comply
with the law. SEC went back
TO court and finally an agree
ment was reached that East
Boston would ID file proper
reports within 30 days and 20
pay the costs-about $1,000
incurred by SEC in prosecut-
ing the case.
This brought the matter to
an end, in July 1856 at least
as far as the SEC was con-
cerned. But when the long
sought annual reports became
matters of public record, a
stockholders suit was brought.
A recent sidelight was the
charge of John Fox, former
publisher of the defunct Bos-
ton Post, that Mr.. Goldfine
had embezzled nearly 81 mil
lion of the Port Development
company'S funds.
In addition to his five Wash
ington-plagued companies, Mr..
Goldfine has many other in
terests. There are six other
wooden companies in New
England plus a Strathmore Silk
Co. He also owns the Little
Building. one of Boston's most
famous and-despite its name
biggest Office structures, and
he is also reputed to control
several hotels.
Wealth Held Genuine
According to Boston sources,
there is no doubt that Mr..
Goldf1ne is a multimillionaire.
People in the know in New
England scott at the idea that
he might really be just paper
rich.' and insist that his wealth
is Just as real as it is apparent.
Married. he lives in a palatial
house in Boston'S swank Chest
nut Hill section. A kind of a
male Gwen Cafritz. he is given
to tossing parties for political
notables - usually Governors.
His friendship with Mr.. Adams
dates from the pre-Eisenhower
days when the frosty presiden-
tial assistant was Governor of
New Hampshire and Mr.. Gold
fine was making frequent visits
to his holdings in the Granite
State.

Rlght-of-Way Policy shift

A Government ofhcial had q
qualified immunity from a libel
suit resulting from a press re-
lease he issued, the United
States Court Of Appeals for the
District ruled today.
Under the ruling. a new trial
must determine whether the
Official lost his privilege by
reason of malice or through
lack of reasonable grounds to
believe that the content of the
press release was true.
The ruling came in the case
of two former employees Of the
ONCE of Rent Sterilization who
successfully sued the then act
ing director of the Office. Will
liam G. Barr.
The libel action arose as a
result of a plan for cash pay
ments to terminal leave claim
ants several years ago.
Press Release Issued
The plan subsequently was
criticized on Capitol Hill. Mr..
Barr issued a press release in
connection with the contro-
versy. The employees, John j.
Madigan and Mrs. Linda A.
Matteo. sued Mr.. Barr, con-
tending they were libeled in the
release.
Mrs. Matteo was awarded
$500 by a United States Dis
trict Court jury: Mr.. Madigan
was granted $4,000.
The awards initially were up
held by the appellate court on
the ground that Government
officials, below cabinet rank,
had no absolute immunity
from such suits stemming
from their actions in line of
duty.

Vice President Viewed as Having
Strong Role, Even If Not Present

binary people think - or
merely feel - at this or that
stage of a public controversy.
In this intuition Mr.. Nixon,
approve him or not. is q
master-incomparably more
able than any other member
Of the administration, includ-
ing Mr.. Eisenhower himself.
Many times the Vice Presi-
dent has established that
skill. He reached Congress IL
years ago mainly because he
sensed that the postwar
American public would be
responsive to attacks on the
alleged influence Of COM
munism or left-wingiSm on
our public policy.
He associated himself with
successful Republican attacks
of that kind for eight years.
But then, in 1854, he was
found supporting the Senate
movement to condemn the
late Senator Mccarthy. the
chief so-called red hunter"
of that era.
AS the public has moved
toward a willingness to try to
do some sort of business with
the Russians, Mr.. Nixon, too,
has so moved. Regardless of
whether he has been ahead
Of or merely in step with such
public movements, the essen
tial point for the present is
simply that he has never yet
got out of sensory touch with
them.
Those who have followed
his career have never known
him seriously to err in a pri-
vate assessment of public
attitudes. All this being so,
there is special interest now
in the Vice Presidents situa-
ton. 1t may be described as
follows:
He was more intimately a
part of the administrations
decision to send troops into
Lebanon than he has ever
been on any high policy de-
termination.
He wholly supported that

Sacks Called
Blow to Industry

DORNBIRN, Austria, Aug. 6
R.-The sack fashion proved
catastrophe for Europe's gar
ment industry, a ranking French
expert said yesterday.
Albert Isempereur, president
of the Association des Maisons
Franchises de Couture en- Gros,"
told a news conference that the
controversial sack style had
been a complete failure.
Started far too early by a
Paris fashion house. the sack
fashion caused tremendous
losses for the garment indus
try" he said.
Il will make precise proposals
at the Forthcoming congress of
the union Of the European gar
ment industries at Brussels to
prevent a similar catastrophe
in future" he added.
Mr.. Lempereur predicted that

decision at the time, and
wholly supports 1t now. He
seems confident that the pub
lie does likewise. And as he
backed the Lebanon opera
ton without reservation, he
has backed the Presidents
reluctant agreement, under
the conditions the White
House has laid down, to meet
with the Russians If they
finally decide to have a con-
ference.
The Vice President believes
there is no overpowering rea-
son to fear the propaganda
disaster to our side which
many have feared. Indeed,
he sees a good possibility for
a Western success instead
provided always that we 60
with affirmative proposals.
He considers that we could
lose out with the world public
only If we allowed a con-
ference to fall into a mere
shouting match with the Rus
slams. He is quite certain that
this would not be allowed to
occur.
AS to domestic politics, no
one accuses the administra-
ton Of sending the troops, OF
agreeing to a conference for
partisan motives. All the
same, there will, of course, be
political by-products.
Mr.. Nixon, whose bleak
realism is noteworthy, is OF
course aware of all this. He
can have no illusions that
even a moderately successful
sum NIT conference would
have had any decisively IA
vorable effect on Republican
chances for recapturing con-
troll Of Congress in the No
vember elections.
Too, he is conscious that
more world troubles would
certainly do the Republicans
no good in the 1860 presiden-
tial contest-in which he
himself is likely to be the
Republican nominee.
It is no less clear, however,
a more tranquil world would
be most helpful to the Re-
publicans in 1860.
