Eisenhower unpaid 1952 hotel bill disputed by Tampa Tribune
The Tampa Tribune reported President Eisenhower and entourage ran up a 400 bill at the Rondy Plaza Hotel in Miami in 1952 and left it unpaid. Dan Daily, the hotel auditor, declined to confirm payment or write-off. The bill was sent to Dade County Republican Executive Committee, which refused payment. UPI reports that district attorney James L. Gilmartin was said to handle the matter, but he recalled no disposition. The incident was discussed during Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearings in 1953. In Washington, LA police captain Hamilton testified of an organized crime pattern in labor unions and the shoulder pad industry, urging federal coordination on syndicate information. He described the Mafia as a tight, pervasive network and referenced Sicilian origins and a need for a federal agency to track syndicate data.
