Cites Executive Order
OF Long Standing

Under an executive order of
long standing, that was impos-
sible. So they had to have
advice. And since, of course.
an executive order is an in
strument drawn by the Presi-
dent, they asked an adviser or
two of mine to be there. They
went-and it was done, I be-
lieve. in the District-inr the
Attorney Generals Office. That
was the purpose of that meet
ing. to decide whether this
question could be answered
affirmatively or should be an
swered negatively under the
terms Of that executive order.
Now the only. reason I is
sued the order was because I
saw an investigation going
ahead when it appeared that
there was going to be a long
sidetrack established, and go
into a relationship between the
President of his advisors that
had no possible connection
with this investigation, and
which in any event would di-
rectly and instantly raise the

Administration Eager
To Aid in Legitimate
Probes, Adams Says
sy The Associated Press

BOSTON, May 2O.-Sherman
Adams. assistant to President
Eisenhower, said today the ad-
ministration has been "eager to
cooperate" with congressional
investigating committees on any
subject of Legitimate inquiry"
He said the goals Of the Eisen-
hover program are the complete
elimination" Of every Communist,
Fascist or other subversive intent
on the overthrow Of this Govern
ment, and the agency intrusted
with this responsibility of eternal
vigilance Is the Justice Depart
ment.
Mr.. Adams remarks were In
an address prepared for the CEN
tennial convention Of the Ma
tional, Association Of Cotton
Manufacturers. At today's meet
ing Mr.. Adams was presented
with the silver medal Of the
association for his stimulation
Of New England's cotton industry
when he was chairman Of the
New England Governors Con-
ference. The medal was pre-
Sented to Mr.. Adams, a former
New Hampshire Governor, by
Gov. Christian A. Herter of Mas
sachuSetts.
Attended January FL Meeting.
Mr.. Adams is one Of those who
attended January 81 meeting
OF high-level officials in the
Attorney Generals office on the
Army problems with Senator
Mccarthy.
That conference became an
issue in the current Senate in
quiry into the Army-McCarthy
row. A presidential order barr
ing testimony about what was
said at the conference led to
suspension Of the hearings last
Monday.
Mr.. Adams did not mention
the hearings by name in his adj
dress. But he said he suspected
the textile men had watched
and listened intently" to Ger
tain inquiries that are being
conducted by committees of
Congress concerning the security
situation in various departments
OF Government"
Mr.. Adams reviewed the work
OF the Justice Department in
combating Subversives, outlined
ii administration bills to plug
the gaps" in existing security
laws. and declared a complete
check and recheck" of security
reports on every new and hold
over employe of the Federal
Government will be completed
shortly.
Protection of Security. i.
He said there is one thing for
sure-the executive department
has and will continue to devote
its every energy to protecting
the internal security of the
United States. It will take Sec
ond place to no agency of Gov
ernment in its zeal to provide
the maximum vigilance to this
end" .. -A
Mr.. Adams said the admins
tration has accelerated and
strengthened" its inquiries, in
vestigations and actions. and will
continue to accept this under
lying responsibility, both. at
home and abroad.
He emphasized that in all this
work it should be kept in mind
that every effort of the admin
iStration in opposing the Com
munist menace lis made within
the framework of the Constitu-
tion and in accordance with the
traditional American concepts of
due process of law"

Today
Congress

Chairman Bridges
pledges the Senate Appropria-
tions Committee will try to find
out how far Americas allies
have gone in agreeing to relax
bans on trade with Communist
China. Senator Bridges says
this after Senator Mccarthy
tells the Senate it would be
criminal folly" not to cut off
United States financial aid to
nations which send "the sinews
of military and economic
strength" to the Reds.
Army Met Carthy - Several
members of the Senate Investi-
cations subcommittee voice be-
lieve that a statement from Army
Secretary Stevens, taking full
responsibility for Army charges
against Senator Mccarthy. has
removed a major obstacle to re-
suming public hearings on the
row.
Social Security The House

considers President Eisenhower'S
request for bigger social security
benefits. The committee yester-
day approved administration
proposals to extend Federal re-
tirement and death benefit in
Surance coverage to more than
seven million persons now ex-
cluded.

painfully aware-of the facts
that today'S suggestions for a

United States in the Far East

administration" Senator Nc
Carthy said.
Asks Free Discussion.
However, with the world 60
ing up in flames and our civili-
zation facing the imminent
threat of further Communist
enslavement. every Senator and
every Congressman has duty
to add whatever contribution he
may have-hoping that if all
suggested courses Of action are
freely discussed and carefully
considered we may arrive at the
proper solution"
Senator McCarthy's prepared
text applied the term "2O years
Of treason" to past Democratic
administrations phrase which
previously brought wrathful pro-
tests from Democratic leaders, q
statement by Senate Majority
Leader Knowland that the Com
munist Party is the only party
OF treason, and the comment
from Gen. Eisenhower that
neither major party has a mo-
nopoly on patriotism.
In delivering the speech SEN
ator Mccarthy changed this
phrase to "grosS mistakes"
But he later read portions OF
the speech for television and
newsreel recordings, and again
called it go years of treason. y

ladies and gentlemen, there is
no time to waste.
We should stand in great

facts. And ! don't mean, as I

mean agreeing with me or with

CONTROVERSY, as released for
direct quotation follotDs::
@. (Marvin L. Arrowsmith.
Associated Press) Mr.. Presi-
dent, both Republicans and
Democrats on the Senate
Permanent Investigating SUBJ
committee have expressed the
opinion that as a result Of your
order to Secretary Wilson on
Monday, 1t may be impossible
to get at the whole truth In
the controversy.
They have expressed the
hope that you will resclnd or
at least relax that order. Do
you have any such intentions.
The President: Well. I shall
not answer your question. but
I think ! shall go a little bit
beyond your question and talk
about this matter a moment,
If you will allow me.
First. I have no intention
whatsoever of relaxing or re-
scinding the order, because it is
q very moderate and proper
statement Of the division of
powers between the executive
and the legislative.
Now, when I saw in the pa.
per allegations to the effect
that the issuance of that order
could be used as a reason or
excuse for calling of hearings,
I was astonished, and lest
there remain any doubt as to
why the meeting of January
21st was called. I will tell you
exactly why.
There was an investigation
going on in which an execu-
tive department of Govern
ment, Defense Department and
principally the Army was en-
gagged with a committee of
Congress. Finally. there was
proposed to them a question
which they could not answer
by themselves because it in
volved an executive order.
There was proposed that
they bring up the records and
the individuals-the records Of
the loyalty boards and the in
dividuals who comprised those
LOYALTY boards.

Hopes for Speedy
End to Hearings

I will say with respect to
that investigation, as I have
told you before, I hope it is
concluded as soon and ex-
peditiously as possible. but
conclusively so that the prin-
cipals tell their stories openly
and fully. and so the public
can know the facts. but so we
take the extraneous matters
and these things that roam all
up and down the alleys Of
Government and of every kind
Of thought and idea are kept
out Of them. Now I hope that
disposes Of my order.
@. Douglass Cater, the
Reporter Magazlne) - Mr..
President. would you give us
any estimate Of what you think
the effect would be II this
Senate investigation were
called OF at this timer
The President-Well, I don't
think the facts have been
brought out. This has aroused
a great interest in the United
States.
Now, make no mistake; I
am anxious to see it cease,
with all of the principals once
telling their story, because,
ladies and gentlemen, let me
say again I just don't think
anything today deserves to
absorb the attention of the
United States as compared to
the study it should be making
of our foreign situation, our
foreign policy, as it is applied
to the various areas of the
world, where does lie our en-
llghtened self-interest, where
do we best support the whole
theory Of the hanging
together, the cooperation
amongst the nations of the
free world, the program as it
is applied to our own country
in the terms of taxes and
farm programs and everything
that is there to keep us strong
SO we can pursue intelligently
and with confidence peaceful
program in the world
