That relationship has been on the minds of the people at the Justice Department for some time now. A federal grand jury last summer recommended multiple-count perjury indictments against Helms, ITT chief executive Harold S. Geneen and ITT senior vice president Edward J. Gerrity for allegedly lying to two Senate committees in 1973 about an ITT-CIA conspiracy to bribe members of the Chilean Congress to withhold confirmation of Allende's victory in the September, 1970 popular presidential election. The grand off-again investigation of possible perjury charges against Helms and the two ITT executives that spanned some four...
Helms's ultimate fate in the investigation has also eclipsed the involvement of Geneen and Gerrity in the press during the past few weeks. A Rowland Evans and Robert Novak column in late August urged President Carter to order the Justice Department to drop its case against Helms, never once mentioning the ITT angle or the details of how the multinational funnelled $350,000 to Allende's opponents in 1970 with the advice and assistance of the CIA. The Evans and Novak apologia drew rebuttals from columnists Anthony Lewis of the New York Times and Mary McGrory of the Washington...
Korry said moves by the Senate select committee chaired by Frank Church (D.-Idaho) to quash perjury indictments against former Central Intelligence Agency director Richard Helms and Harold Geneen, president of the International Telephone and Telegraph Company (ITT), are not for "legitimate reasons of national security." Instead, he characterized them as an effort to avoid revelations of "bribery, felonies, and conspiracies to murder" perpetrated at the highest levels of government...
...claim that manual labor in the "post-industrial" U.S. is becoming progressively less important with Stanley Aronowitz's that the labor force is being generally proletarianized. The book jumps from general to particular in so haphazard a manner as to make it easier to find anecdotes about Harold Geneen's world vision or the loss of shoemaking jobs in Lynn than precise information about the importance of the global corporations in the U.S. economy...
More than a dozen other companies, large and small, also have three or more top executives. General Electric has long had such an arrangement. In 1972 ITT adopted the multiple-management plan, mainly to prepare for the retirement of its chief, Harold Geneen; at present both Geneen and structure remain. RCA also established an office of the chairman last September, but abolished it and returned to a conventional organization when Chairman Robert W. Sarnoff resigned in November. Other firms that in recent years have experimented with executive offices of three or more officials are Honeywell, Morgan Guaranty Trust Co., Armco...
