Sees Adams Vindicoted by Facts

7. AS for the allegations
about a case before the Sc
curities and Exchange Com
mission in which 0oldfine's
company was accused Of fall
ing 10 file some annual re-
ports. Sherman Adams him
self made no contact with the
commission. A routine inquiry
was made by a member OF the
White House staff-the spe-
cial counsel-and he advised
Mr.. Adams that no further
steps should be taken by him.
Mr.. Adams dropped the mat
ter. The 0oldnne company
was later given the customary
penalty for falling 10 iile It's

and the cruelties Of politics
resulted in a ghoulish spree
before a House investigating
committee which fiagrantly
violated a House resolution
about the proper behavior of
its investigating committee.
It's perhaps too bad that
Sherman Adams isn't a Com
munist or a defender Of
communistic beliefs" He
would today have the pro-
tective comments of many
Of those so-called liberals"
who have vehemently de-
nounced guilt by associa-
ton" and guilt by innuen-
do" He would also have the
benefit Of Chief Justice War
ren's castigations Of the be-
havior Of congressional COM
mittees.
AS for those Republicans
in Congress who have been
running to cover because they
are up for election this year,
are they really so naive rs
to believe that the Demo-
Gratis would ever stop talking
about the Adams case il he
resigned? His retirement
would be interpreted as 4
confession Of guilt. 1t is al
ways better. II the facts and

Sherman Adams does not
intend 10 resien--and Presi-
dent Eisenhower viii not
cruelty him by asking him TO
resign.
Mr.. Adams Is convinced he
has violated no law and ex-
erted no improper influence.
The President Is also con-
WINGED that this Il a fact.
Looking back now over
what happened-and hind
sight Is always better than
foresieht-if the presidential
aide had for one moment
ever suspected that his per-
sonal friendship Of is years

change Of gifts would be
distorted into a smear scan
dial. no such gifts would have
been accepted.
But, unfortunately. be-
cause day-by-day newspaper
accounts are not pieced to-
gether carefully by the aver
age person and politicians are
quick TO vent their hates
through condemnatory state
ments. a man can be con-
victed by public opinion Of q
"crime" he didn't commit.
The big question is: What is
the duty Of the press In such
circumstances? Isn't IL to
present all the evidence and
all the facts Of law and pre-
vent an innocent man from
being wrongly stigmatized for
life?
This correspondent has
read the record and has also
noted the contents Of the
important statement issued
over the week end by Edward
+. Howrey. former chairman
Of the Federal Trade Com
mission. The conclusions
which this writer reaches
after such an examination
are as follows:
l. Not a scintilla Of evil
dence exists to prove that
any improper influence was
exerted or that a violation
of law was committed by
Sherman Adams.
2. The decisions reached
by the Federal Trade Com
mission in handling the cases
involving Goldfine were made
by the career" officials who
hold Office from one admin
istration to the other with
out regard 10 political change.
Neither they nor any other
members of the commission
ever knew that Chairman
Howrey had received an in
quiry from Sherman Adams
about the Goldfine cases.

their merits as are thousands
Of similar cases each year.
Mr.. Howrey himself took no
part In deciding the cases.
His subordinates did so and
took the necessary action.
3. Notable in support Of
the facts as stated Is the
testimony Of Acting Chair
man Robert Secrest. former
ocratic CONGRESSMAN
from Ohio for 10 years.
I. No regulation" Of the
commission was violated
when Mr.. Howrey sent a
memorandum Of information
10 Mr.. Adams In response TO
his inquiry. II has been the
commissions policy" TO
withhold the name Of a COM
pany or individual making a
complaint about an unfair
trade practice. In this in
stance the name Of the COM
plainant was already known
to the defendant company
through open disclosure by
the opposing attorney. In
fact. the names Of the con-
tending parties In the dispute
were well known in the WOOL
en- industry because other
wooden mills we're vitality in
terested In any changes in
labelling woolens that might
be decided on. Some mem
bers Of Congress from wool
States were also aware Of the
parties TO the controversy.
5. Mr.. Howrey's memo
randum to Mr.. Adams
pointed out that the case
could be settled by "volun-
tary compliance" in accord
ance with custom. But this
was no new or confidential
information. The defendant
company already had this
knowledge in connection with
its previous conferences with
the Federal Trade Commits
sion, which had been trying
to conclude the case by the
same method. The annual
report Of the commission
reveals that there were $500
cases Of questioned practices
in the wooden industry which
were settled that year in the
same way.
6. No favored treatment
was given the defendant
company. In the flrst in
stance. the Goldfine company
complied voluntarily. In the
second instance. the custom
airy remedy-tne usual cease
and desist" order-deemed
the most effective by the
commissions top staff. was
applied and that defendant
complied with the law gov
erning such orders.

Insurance Commissioner
Gives Endorsement OF
Fire Prevention Week

State Insurance Commissioner
Harry S. Smith has issued an en-
dorsement of the program in OBJ
servance of Fire Prevention Week
from October sill.
He states 81 very much realize
the necessity for continued fire pre-
vention and fire protection activi-
ties for the saving of lives and
protection of property. This being
the 36th observance of Fire Pre-
vention Week as a nationwide pro-
gram, ] want to take this opportun-
ity I'd compliment the fire insur-
ance business on the vigorous part
Il It mas played in fire protection and
fire prevention activities"
Commissioner Smith further
stated II trust and respectfully
urge that the people of Delaware
will give their whole-hearted sup
port and cooperation again in the
fire observance programs being
planned and carried out in our
state. I urge all civic and local
organizations, as well as schools
and public information agencies,
to share actively in this effort and
/ plead 10 these groups to assist the
firemen OF our state in their all-out
effort to redGce the ever-present
hazard of fire"
The Delaware Insurance Com
missioner gave a report that last
year fires were responsible for 50,-
900 deaths, almost 20 per cent of
the total fatalities in American
homes. During the last 10 years
residential fires have increased 70
per cent. / trust that all home
owners will help reduce this ever
growing figure by watching out for,
and correcting, fire hazards with
in their homes. The family search
for home fire hazards should begin
in the basement and continue room
by room and closet by closet, right
up into the attic.
Keep fire out of your home.
Home is where the heart is and
also where the danger is, for you
and every member of your family.
Fire is the greatest home hazard" :"
Commissioner Smith gave this
advice-"S Since so per cent of all
fires are preventable, l suggest
that the causes of fires found in all
private homes, mercantile and man.
ufacturing concerns be corrected
as soon as they are found, so that
Delawareans will have such an
experience, fire-wise, that they can
enjoy better rates for fire insur-
ance."
The Delaware Commissioner
praised the fire-fighters by saying
with all of this in mind, / take
this opportunity to commend the
firemen throughout the state and
in the city of Wilmington who work
continuously and untiringly to save
lives and the destruction of prop
erty."
