Contempt Citation
Recommended For
Bernard Goldfine
WASHINGTON, W—House in
vestigators Tuesday recom
mended contempt of Congress ac
tion against Bernard Goldfine,
gift-giving friend of Presidential
assistant Shermfo Adams.
Chairman Oren Harris said the
investigating subcommittee’s rec
ommendation would be svfcmitted
soon as possible to its parent, the
House Commerce Committee.
If endorsed by the full commit
tee, the contempt citation would
go to the House.
And, if approved by the House,
it goes to the U.S. District At
torney for handling as a crimi
nal Case.
“It will have to be done quickly
to get action at this session (of
Congress),” Harris told newsmen.
Conviction for contempt of
Congress carries a possible penalty
of $1,000 fine and a year’s im
prisonment.
The contempt accusation is
based on Goldfine’s refusal to an
swer some two dozen questions
concerning his financial dealings
with Boston real estate com
panies of which he is majority
owner.
Goldfine refused to answer the
questions on the ground that they
were not pertinent to the sub
committee’s investigation, which is
aimed at the operations of govern
ment regulatory agencies.
Navy Blimp Enrcrute
To Arctic Ice Island
LAKEHURST, N.J., UP) — A
Navy blimp took off from here
today on a historic, lighter-than
air flight to within 50 to 100
miles of the North Pole.
The 343-foot blimp rose into
the morning sky at 6:20 a.m.
about as gracefully as a blimp
can rise and pointed its prow
northward.
It will follow the Hudson
River and is scheduled to land
in Churchill, Man., late tomorrow
night.
The craft will carry 14 crew
men and a group of International
Geophysical Year scientists to
Ice Island T-3, a floating weather
station in the Arctic Ocean.
The flight will enable the
scientists to study the feasibil
ity of using nonrigid airships for
Arctic research.

American and British
Airman Confined To
Air Base In Iraq
HABBANIYA, Iraq, UP) —
American and British airmen and
dependents—a total of 1,333 per
sons—have been restricted to a
small living area of this big
Iraqi air base since the July 14
coup in Baghdad.
The Americans—43 officers and
men—were sitting on the grass
eating watermelons when re
porters reached the base Monday.
They have not been harmed or
threatened.
But they have discontinued
their program of training Iraqis
in flying Sabre jets. The group
delivered five Sabre jets here
June 17 under the military as
sistance program.
But since July 14 they have
been prevented from continuing
their work. They do not know
what their future status will be.
The British-built base, 60 miles
west of Baghdad, was turned over
to the Iraqis in 1955. But the
British still had refueling and
other privileges for transport
planes, and a contingent of 1,020
airmen was here to operate air
traffic control and other services.
With the British are 270 de
pendents.
At the time of the coup, the
senior British officer smashed the
highly secret radar and commu
nications equipment. The Brit
ish gradually were persuaded by
the Iraqis to quit the air field.
So far the only contacts of the
British top officer here with
superiors have been two visits to
Baghdad. The Americans have
had no contact except a single
telephone call to the U. S. mili
tary assistance* group in Baghdad.
