Contempt proceedings opened against Bernard Goldfine
A House subcommittee recommended contempt charges against Boston magnate Bernard Goldfine for refusing to answer 23 questions on his financial dealings. The action follows disclosures that Sherman Adams, Eisenhower aide, accepted favors from Goldfine and that Adams denied using influence in FTC and SEC matters. Goldfine, defended by lawyers, argued the questions were irrelevant and declined to reveal dealings with Boston real estate firms.
