Investigators
Hear of Payment
For Hotel Bills
No Contact Made,
FTC Chairman Says
Washington (UPI)
Presidential Assistant Sher
man Adams announced to
day that he will testify
Tuesday before the House
committee investigating his
relationships with Boston
millionaire Bernard Gold-fine.
Washington (UPI) Some
records covering the Federal
Trade Commission's action
against Presidential Assistant
Sherman Adams' friend Ber
nard Goldfine have, been de
stroyed inadvertently, acting
FTC Chairman Robert T. Se
crest testified today.
Secrest made the statement
to House investigators who
earlier disclosed that Goldfine
paid a total of $529.34 in hotel
bills for Adams at the Wal
dorf-Astoria in New York and
the Mayflower Hotel in Plym
outh, Mass.
Payment Acknowledged
Adams last week acknowl
edged that Goldfine had paid
about $2,000 worth of hotel
bills for him at Boston's plush
Sheraton-Plaza.
A House influence - investi
gating subcommittee heard
staff investigator Francis X.
McLaughlin report that
Adams' millionaire friend
paid $267.05 in bills at the
Waldorf in January and Feb
ruary, 1954, and that the vis
its occurred at a time when
Goldfine was trying to
straightei out a dispute with
the FTC over labeling of his
firm's woolen materials.
Adams has acknowledged
contacting the FTC on behalf
of Goldfine, but has denied
categorically that he "ever
tried to bring any pressure
or influence to bear.
Case Was Closed
'McLaughlin was asked if
the dates of Adams' stays in
New York had "any signifi
cance."' He replied FTC rec
ords indicate that Goldfine's
company on Jan. 19, 1954,
submitted a statement assur
ing xne iiu it would "no
longer mislabel" woolen ma
terial. McLaughlin said on Feb. 5,
1954, an assistant to then FTC
Chairman Edward F. Howrey
wrote a letter to the chief of
the FTC's wool labeling divi
sion saying the label case in
volving Goldfine's Northfield
firm could be closed and it
was.
Secrest told the subcommit
tee for himself and all other
members of the commission
that Adams has never contact
ed them "directly or indirect
ly with respect to any matter
formal or informal under in
vestigation by or in Jtrial be
fore the FTC."
Secrest later testified that
the FTC's wool inspection rec
ords for the period Jan. 1,
1953, to Dec. 1, 1953, acciden
tally were destroyed last Jan
uary by representatives of the
government's h o u s ekeeping
agency, the General Services
Administration.
White House Huddles
Rep. Oren Harris (D-Ark.),
chairman of a subcommittee
investigating alleged adminis
tration influence on the gov
ernment's independent regula
tory agencies, chided the
agency for having allowed
destruction of records cover
ing a period "very important"
to the inquiry. ,
Secrest defended the FTC's
handling of various North
field violations as being done
"properly and in good faith."
The White House left open
the possibility t that it will
make a statement on Adams'
activities, after FTC witnesses
testify before the House sub
committee. Adams conferred with Pres
ident Eisenhower several
times this morning, but the
White House refused to shed
any information on the nature
of the conferences or on
Adams' plans until testimony
before the House subcommit
tee "is concluded."
He said one of the expedi
tion's "responsible, reliable"
Sherpa guides reported sight
ing "one four-foot yeti collect
ing frogs in a rivulet."
Dhyrenfurth said the guide
reported the creature chased
him when caught in .a flash
light beam.
Yeti Disappeared

ran to inform us but we
found the yeti gone by the
time we had marched one

who were taken prisoner
more than a week ago when
their helicopter strayed into

would have given the East
German Communists their
