Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - September 8, 1958, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it. Pleasant news these Days by George e. Sokolsky the Cashiers checks \ a justifiable complaint against i congressional committees is that they rarely Complete a task which they set out to do. Either the committee runs out of Money or interest or the membership changes on perhaps the particular subject has ceased to be of Public interest. For instance the investigation of i or. Goldfine was a design to pm Barrass Sherman Adams and to j Force his resignation. It had Noth i ing to do with taxes. The instigator was John Fox who had financial j dealings with Goldfine and who disliked him. During this Investiga-1 Tion. It was discovered that Over a number of years. Goldfine withdrew cashier s or Bank checks which he did not Cash and some of which have never been cashed. Unquestionably the Money was Goldfinch and if to chose to keep such huge sums in thus unorthodox form in a Safe Deposit Box or a shoe Box or in his Vest pocket that is Bis pret Oga Tive. Nevertheless it ought to be of some interest to the internal Revenue service of tile Treasury which will bother an Ordinary citizen if he is a few dollars out of line what this unorthodox procedure is. How it benefits the Man who pursues it what it does for him tax Wise and is it better than just holding on to a great Deal of Cash. So far As the Public knows. The congressional investigation of Goldfine and his checks has never been completed. He never explained Why he withdrew the checks he never explained Why they remained uncashed. This form of Check is a. Good As Cash Money Only a Small number of them do not take As much room As the amount of Cash they represent. The entire course of the Mcclellan investigation shows that certain labor leaders steal Cash Money. This Money disappears although the amounts Are huge. Obviously there is some kind of split up. Nevertheless there is considerable Cash on hand that is taken out of circulation and that must get Back into circulation if it is to have any value to those who have it. Or real estate or enterprises and it has to be done in such manner that the investments Are legitimate. This undoubtedly requires the assistance of an accountant and a lawyer and needs careful handling the Money is probably taken in a briefcase or a suitcase to Switzerland or to Panama or to some other tax Haven there it is placed in an Anonymous account for investment in the United states.
