EC: Yes, we have the body, [
257], present in this room, his
associations, relationships. This we have had before. We
have the body, [
5597], present in this room, associations,
relationships. These in their mental forces we have had in
an association in a general relationship, we have many
different associations and relationships between the two [See
257-66, Par. 83-A--86-A on
3/28/31]. Ready for questions.
(Q) Has [
257] taken the proper stand and a just one as to
his settlement with Lauterstein and the firm?
(A) Dependent upon the point of view. As to just what [
257]
has taken the proper stand as has been outlined, as close as
that outline is adhered to, will be the proper stand as we
find.
(Q) Has he made a good selection in the lawyer, Chas.
Riegelman?
(A) Very good, as we find.
(Q) What advice should Riegelman have to represent [
257]
properly?
(A) That that [
257] may give him.
(Q) Should [
257] work for a definite settlement in the form
of a compromise or would it be possible to wait six months
and get it?
(A) Be better to work for a definite compromise. Six months
in the conditions as surround everything pertaining to this
associations or relationships of those involved might make a
vast deal of difference, to be sure. To get that as a
satisfactory basis that the mental body, the mental
relationships and associations of the body would be
definitely settled, then would be better to settle as soon
and not wait. See?
(Q) Should Mr. Riegelman go to the banker, Gibson, and
associates, or through Goldman Sachs first?
(A) That should be decided by Riegelman as to their various
relationships. There are some that NEED the going through
the one while there are conditions that apparently need going
through the other channels; claims that are made in and for a
settlement. Then the better manner would be for the body to
make their [his] own decisions as to which is to be pressed
the most. See?
(Q) Has Riegelman a good plan in mind?
(A) These change as conditions develop.
(Q) How can [
257] definitely prove that the factory
arrangement was cost plus 10% on each cabinet?
(A) From the agreement made.
(Q) Why does Lauterstein refuse to give this in writing?
(A) Ask Lauterstein; not from here.
(Q) Should [
257] take on new furniture factories at this
time who will carry the accounts that the present firm
refuses to accept?
(A) Upon the advice of Riegelman you might put in without
same, for do not jeopardize the whole situation or the
conditions by doing that which it would not be in accord with
the best interests of all concerned and the relationship as
has existed.
(Q) In reference the refrigerator proposition is [
257]
justified in not going to the meetings until these other
matters are settled?
(A) Why, to be sure, there may be caused more of a moral
difference by refusing to go on with those things that have
been started under the relationships of all concerned, this
only makes for barriers. Why should not that be settled
along with the rest?
(Q) Mr. Riegelman requested that Lauterstein give a letter
stating that [
257] would not need give his whole time to
Federal and Lauterstein refused to sign. Is this the proper
attitude?
(A) Very good attitude for one side but not a very good
attitude for the other. The conditions and the circumstances
as surround same have been or are understood. Then whether
these are given or whether these are not given, they are held
then as a portion of that that may force an issue in a
direction. [Miss Sidelman's note: At this point, the cloth
fell on Mr. Cayce (his etheric body?) and he was unable to
speak further, and he was then suggested to wake up.]
