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.
