Ike Received
Gift From
Bernard Goldfine
WASHINGTON, UP) — The
White House acknowledged that
industrialist Bernard Goldfine
once gave President Eisenhower
a supply of expensive vicuna
cloth.
Press secretary Hagerty said
Eisenhower gave the material to
a friend. Hagerty added that the
President does not remember the
name of the friend.
Hagerty called a special news
conference to discuss the matter
just ahead of an appearance by
Shermn Adams, the President’s
chief aide, to tell a Congressional
committee under oath about his
own relations with Goldfine.
The press secretary discussed
an article by Drew Pearson which !
reported that Eisenhower had
received a vicuna coat from Gold
fine.
Hagerty denied the story as to
the coat, but conceded the gift
of cloth.
There have also been reports of
a $700 vicuna coat gift to Adams
from Goldfine, as well as direct |
testimony that Adams accepted I
more than $2,000 of hotel hospi- i
tality from his Boston friend and I
made contacts for him with fed-!
eral agencies.
Hagerty said at the outset of i
his news conference that he j
would try to discuss the Pearson 1
column without getting angry.
Then he went on to say that j
seven paragraphs of the Pearson
column contained at least 10
“complete falsehoods.”
Dealing first with the Pearson |
contention that Goldfine gave I
Eisenhower a three-quarter length ;
vicuna coat, Hagerty asserted:
“That is not true.”
He said Eisenhower does have
two vicuna coats, one of which
he has had since the middle,
1940’s; the other acquired about)
1952. The press secretary did j
not go into any detail on how
Eisenhower obtained them.
Hagerty then said “it is true”
I that along about November 1956
Goldfine did send the President
some vicuna material.
Eisenhower wrote Goldfine a
letter of thanks, but never had
| anything made from the material,
l Hagerty said.
