(Her block Is on Included on List Uncashed Checks Go Unexplained Washington (UPD Mil lionaire Bernard Goldfine said today he gave Christmas gifts of S50 or less to at least 33 federal employees including tne secretary to White House Aide Sherman Adams. Robert W. Lishman. coun sel for the House influence- investigating .subcommittee- confronted the textile man ufacturer with a list of 37 White House and congression al employees of this and nrp- vious administrations and asked if Goldfine gave them money. Gifts To 'Poor Workers' After a preliminary look at the list, Goldfine identified the payments as Christmas presents to "poor workers." He said he saw .nothing wrong in the gifts. When the matter came ur a second time, Goldfine's sec-. retary, Mildred Paperman, said she had examined the list and wasn't sure about four of the names. Subcommittee Chair man Oren Harris (D-Ark.), ruled that all the frames except those of the four Miss PaDer- man questioned would be made public, since Goldfine himself had mentioned one aloud when he first saw the list. This was the name of Eu gene T. Kinnaly. secretary of House Democratic leader John W. McCormack of Massachu setts. Goldfine said Kinnaly's present wa the only one mat exceeded $50. Kinally told a reporter he had receiv ed Christmas boxes from Goldfine but never anv money. Rep. Peter F. Mack Jr. YD- 111.), asked why Goldfine hap pened to mention the name oi Kinally, first on the list, instead of the last name. "I understand the last name on the list is the secretary to Sherman Adams," Mack said. Goldfine confirmed to re porters that this was correct --one of the gifts went to Adams' secretary, Laura E. Sherman. The subcommittee ' h a brought out previously that Goldfine and Adams had ex changed gifts and favors for years and that. the presiden tial assistant had made in quiries in the industrialist's behalf about Federal Trad Commission and Securities and -Exchange commission cases against his companies.. Sought Explanation - - ' ' After confronting Goldfine with the Christmas check list, Lishman tried unsuccess fully to get him to explain $o,o.id in uncashed checks, such as cashier's checks, his companies had bought from banks since 1941. Goldfine said this was none of the subcommittee's busin ess. But Goldfine's lawver. Roger Robb, told the subcom mittee that with a few excep tions all the bank checks cited by Lishman have either been redeposited to the ac count of the company which purchased them or are still held by the purchasing com pany.
