f 10 GOLDBERG DENIES 'ATTEMPT TO LURE FEDERAL EMPLOYE Washington, Feb. 9 (U.F9 The story that he tried to lure government employe Into his service with a $15,000 job offer was a lie, Jacobs Goldberg told the Senate War Investigating committee. Goldberg, auctioneer presi dent of Surplus Liquidators, Inc., also relied angrily to criticism by Mayor F. H. LaGuardia of New York. And he said, "I deny It" when asked whether he had tried to bribe an auctioneer at Carqp Funston, Kan., after the last war. . The committee Is Investigat ing disposal by the government of surplus war goods at auctions conducted by Goldberg's firm. LaGuardia previously had told the committee that the auctions were "scandalous." But it was the testimony last week of John Van Ginhoven, DFC engineer, which evoked from Goldberg what he called the "ugly word." He said Van Ginhoven "lied" when he was "invited up to Jake's room" in a Cleveland ho tel and offered a job if he would recomment to his superiors that they give Surplus Liquidators a contract to sell surplus war goods at auction. As for LaGuardia's fault-finding in connection with Gold berg's conduct as an auctioneer, the witness shouted: "I'd like to see Mayor La Guardia stand up there with me, facing 50 people, and not make any mistakes.
