Harris Seeks Testimony On Federal Agency Influence
Rep. Harris of Arkansas invites Sherman Adams or others to testify to his investigating subcommittee about improper influence on federal regulatory agencies. He aims to build a case starting Monday and may call FTC and SEC officials regarding Goldfine tied firms. The probe has yielded fragmentary hearsay about Adams aiding Goldfine. White House says Adams was fishing in New Hampshire and could admit hotel payments, while Goldfine’s attorney calls the claims baseless. Cotton says he will continue accepting Goldfine hospitality in Boston.
