The appellate court reversed,
2 to /. the narcotics conviction
of Earl johnson and ordered a
new trial. However, a strong
dissenting opinion charged that
the majority decision ran
against Supreme Court prece-
dent and would substantially
hamper police in narcotics in
vestigations.
Opium Sold
johnson was indicted for
selling five capsules of opium
to a policeman and an inter-
mediary. The evidence showed
that the policeman, using police
funds, handed the money to the
intermediary who passed it on
to johnson. johnson returned
with the capsule and kept one
for himself as a reward"
He claimed that the use of
Government funds had induced
and trapped him into the act.
The District Court refused to
present the issue of entrap-
ment to the jury on the
grounds that there was not
enough evidence TO raise this
question.

Settle TaxDebi
Assets to Be Sold
To Satisfy Claim
BY MIRIAM OTTENBERG
Star staff Writer

RtA lldlu 1OlullllSs io-y6dI
old Boston industrialist. has
agreed TO receivers sales Of
all his assets to settle the
Governments tax claims Of
more than $40 million against
him and his textile compa-
nies, Attorney General Robert
F. Kennedy said today.
How much the Government
will get cannot be estimated
accurately until the sales prices
of Goldfine'S corporate and
personal holdings are deter
mined. Mr.. Kennedy said.
1t is expected, however, that
the receivers will collect
enough to satisfy most of Mr..
Goldfine's personal liabilities
and at least half of the cor
porations' liabilities.
The Government had filed
tax recovery suits in January,
1862, asking $3.5 million from
Mr.. Goldfine and his wife,
Charlotte. and $6.8 million
from his companies.
Gifts 10 Officials
Mr.. Goldfine, whose gifts to
Sherman Adams and others
high in Government set off
a political uproar during Presi-
dent Eisenhower's administra-
ton. will be left only with his
clothes, his apartment furnish
ings and a little money to live
on under terms Of the settle
ment. He will be allowed TO
keep any new money he earns
after the settlement.
Mr.. Goldfine appeared be-
fore Federal Judge George C..
Sweeney In Boston today be-
fore the agreement was an
nounced.
Judge Sweeney asked II he
understood the terms OF the
settlement. Mr.. Goldfine said
he did. When the judge asked
II he was under any compulsion
10 agree TO the terms. Mr.
Goldfine responded that he was
acting voluntarily.
mo Strength 10 Argue"
II have neither the strength
nor the funds 10 argue indefi-
nitely In the courts over these
tax claims" he said In a state
ment, according 10 the ASso-
ciated Press.
Two Goldfine textile mills In
Lebanon. N. H.. have been In
the hands Of a court-appointed
receiver. and Mr.. Goldfine's
Northfield mills In Vermont
have been operating under a
receiver.
Mr.. Goldfine's statement
continued.
My deepest sorrow is that
the termination OF these court
did not come In
time 10 save the mills In Leba-
non. where $50 employees, many
Of whom spent their entire lives
at my mills, were permanently

Stresses Programs Value

Mr.. Kennedy emphasized that
the Federal Governments role
is to aid the States and local
communities which have the
primary responsibility of pro-
noting the interest Of children
and youth.
Each passing month makes
it clearer" he declared, that
our past failures to identify,
understand and meet the many
problems relating to our Ma
tion's youth cannot be coun-
tenanced any longer. 60.
Il am convinced that the
various proposals, contained in
this message provide an appro-
PIRATE and hopeful means of
tranSlating our common con-
Germ into an action program"
The special message reiter-
ated proposals previously urged
upon Congress by the President
in education and health mes
sages that have g bearing on
youth problems.
He also noted that the man.

ing act passed last year is pro-
