Should Sherman Adams be
sacrificed on the altar of po-
litical expediency. as so many
Of the Republican candidates
for ONCE this autumn are de-
handing? II he resigns his
post as assistant to the
President, would this dis
pose Of the matter? Would
the Democrats promptly stop
discussing It, or would they
regard the resignation as
q confession Of guilt and
hammer away at the issue
even harder?
The mere asking Of these
questions points Gp the di-
lemma faced by both Presi-
dent Eisenhower and Mr..
Adams this week, now that
the latter has returned from
his vacation. The problem
doesn't involve any new facts.
For the underlying situation
Is Just the same at 1t was
when the political Juror over
the acceptance Of gifts by
Mr.. Adams from his close
personal friend, Bernard
Goldfine, first hit the head
lines in June. 1t now Is being
said, Of course, that the
Maine election a week ago
accentuated the Importance
Of the issue. This sounds like
an alibi from the side that,
for other reasons, lost the
election and from those
weakened candidates among
the Republicans who now
fear they may lose out, too
also for other reasons.
Actually, it will do no good,
politically speaking, for Sher-
man Adams to resign volun-
tarily. There might have
been last June q slight bene-
fit politically II President
Eisenhower himself h a d
asked for the resignation.
But If done ct this late date.
the Democrats would imme-
diately ask why Mr.. Eisen-
hover waited so long-and
they would continue to try
to smear his administra-
ton anyhow as somehow
tainted"

PARIS, Sept. 16.-The un-
successful attempt on the
life of a leading Gaullist
minister yesterday underlines q
large and ugly problem which
still may destroy the whole
hopeful experiment which has
been launched here in France
during the past few months.
Jacques Soustelle, Frances
Minister Of Information, some
how escaped the violent fate
planned for him by Algerian
extremists armed with revolv-
ers and tommyguns on the
Place de lEtoile. But it is too
much to suppose that France
itself can permanently duck the
challenge which the would-be
assassins represent.
Algerian War Is Key
For all the energy and de-
cisior which he has shown since
coming to power, Gen. de Gaulle
has yet to begin to face up to
the one problem of overwhelm-
ing Importance, not only to
France, but also to the entire
free world. The simple fact is
that unless some way can be
found to put an early end to the
Algerian war there is no posi-
hility Of q real improvement OF
conditions in France and no
real future in North Africa and
the Middle East for the West.
This solution has not only
not been found but in some
ways the problem las become
worse since Gen. de Gaulle came
to power last June. The attack
on Mr.. Soustelle yesterday Is
emily the latest incident in q
new wave Of terrorism launched
with suitable publicity by the

Front (FLN against metropoli.

the Middle East, the diplo-
matte challenges and coun-
terchallenges, the segrega-
ton crisis in the American
South and all the other cries
and alarms Of the past few
days was an address to the
American Legion Convention
in Chicago on September 4.
The speaker was Luis Munoz
Marin, Governor Of the Com
monwealth Of Puerto Rico,
and he spoke Of freedom and
tyranny. He recalled the bat
tie record Of the 10000 Puerto
Ricans in the United States
armed forces during the Ko-
rean War--90 per cent Of

the Legionnaires "the wave

These are words that ought
to be engraved in gold over
the desks Of every American
policymaker, every American
diplomat. every spokesman
in foreign lands for the
American promise to the
world.
DiSmayingly, in the past
few years, there have been
unmistakable signs that the
things the United States of

represent a radical change in
policy by the FIN. which for
merly confined its activities
strictly to Algeria.
The possible end result Of
this campaign is equally obvi-
Gus. Organized violence I'M
leaShed in France. itself, could
easily breed the same brand Of
counter-vielence that is the
rule in Algeria.
That this may indeed be the
objective Of the FIN cannot
be ruled out. In any case, the
new wave Of terrorism re-
emphasizes the enormous prob
lem Gen. de Gaulle faces in
trying to find a solution for
Algeria. Whatever it may be,
this solution will have to be
imposed on extremists of both
Sides both of whom believe
that their best interests will be
served by continuing the war
and deepening the split that
exists between the European
and Moslem populations there.
The danger today Of a coup
d'etat by the army, leagued
with French extremists, seems
as good deal more remote than
it did last spring, except in the
highly remote contingency that
Gen. de Gaulle, himself, were
repudiated by the French cleo
torate. On the other hand,
chance of some desperate polit-
ical reaction by diehard Alger-
ian reactionaries, such as a
move for the secession of Al
geria from France, must be
taken into account by Gen. de
Gaulle in laying his plans.
Danger IN InactlOn
The risks Of doing nothing,
however, are almost certainly
greater.
Until now, Gen. de Gaulle has
been reported to favor a eau
tious and gradual approach to
the problem. But it seems posi-
bic that events like yesterdays
attempted assassination may
have the result of persuadine
him that so far as Algeria is
concerned it is indeed later
than he thought.

No Good Result Seen Should Assistant

would exhibit some Of the
courage that is occasionally
manifested even by candi-
dates for public ofiice, they
would turn the Sherman
Adams issue around and take
a leaf from the book Of the
militant liberals" whose
battle cry in recent years
has been that a man should
be presumed innocent until
he is proved guilty and
should not be made to suffer
because Of guilt by associa-
ton"
It's better sometimes to
lose an election In order TO
reafirm and eventually vim
dicate a principle. Not a
single piece Of evidence
exists to show that Sherman
Adams violated any law or
exercised any improper in
fluence or achieved any i'm
proper objective. His accept
ance Of gifts from a personal
friend turned out to be
"imprudent" because Of the
innuendoes publicized by a
hostile investigating COM
mittee in Congress, but it is
true that Mr.. Adams per-
formed exactly the same
service for many other citi-
Gems from whom he never
received any gifts.
For the executive oftlces
stan to make inquiries from
other departments or agen-
cies of the Government in
behalf of the citizens-all
81 whom have a right to
petition the Government
for a redress Of grievances
is to apply the First Amend
ment in the Bill of Rights Of
the Constitution.
But the politicians, who
know that suspicion does not
constitute proof Of guilt, are
nevertheless cropping for a
scapegoat. Somehow, they
believe that they can curry
favor with the voters by COM
ing out for the dismissal Of
Mr.. Adams. This assumes
that the public has been mis-
led or cannot weigh the truth
when it is fully presented on
the stump.

again. Another part must be
blamed on other political in
fluences, such as fanatical
nationalisms and purely local
political movements Of one
sort or another.
But the biggest response
bility, the greatest share Of
the blame, must rest with
Americans, themselves. Mel
ther as a people nor as a gov
eminent, not in techniques
nor in content, has the Amer
lean ideal and the American
practice been effectively pre-
sented to the rest Of the
world.
The results have been seen
in Latin America, in the
Middle East and in Asia-in
fact, just about everywhere.
II is a sad and sorry fact
that, to millions of people,
the United States is "imperi-
alist" and oppressive, stand
ing for exploitation and mill
tarism, opposing progress to-
ward higher standards Of
living, keeping the world al
ways on the brink Of war.
These sentiments are real
and widespread. We can see
and hear them on radio sta
lions and in foreign news
papers. We can hear them at
the United Nations. We can
feel their deadly effect when.
for example, an American
Vice President is mobbed in a
foreign capital.
The other and corollary
fact, unfortunately, is that to
many Of these same people,
international communism is
accepted as the friend Of the
oppressed, the foe of colo
nialism and imperialism, the
savior Of peace.
Gov. Munoz painted this
discouraging and potentially
disastrous picture in broad
strokes Of powerful impact.
He is the right man to say it,
because his vigorous COM
monwealth is a standing ref
utation of the distortions
of the real America. He has
