Ford Dispute At Hearing On Dealer Contributions
Henry Ford II testified before a Senate Commerce subcommittee that his private assistant sought contributions from Ford dealers in 1952 for Eisenhower’s campaign. He said no pressure, no use of company funds, and no other Ford personnel were involved. Ford approved the solicitation as private action by his assistant Allen Merrell, a Republican National Finance Committee member, while stressing Ford Motor Co did not back any candidate. Milton Ratner, a Chicago dealer, said a dealer was told the office of Henry Ford sought 50 000 from Chicago dealers, but Ford denied directing or pressuring dealers to contribute to candidates.
