The Governor insists that
present Republican activity
with respect to the governor

indiscreet. From a political
standout. the thing TO have
done was to dismiss Gen.
Patton. For this would have
made the headlines Gen
eral Fired for Slapping a
Private" But the commander
In chief OF the allied
armies wasn't thinking OF
headlines. He was thinking
Of simple justice. The Bill Of
Rights in the Constitution,
itself, says that there shall
be no "cruel or unusual
punishments indicted" The
episode did not merit a dis
missal, but q reprimand.
Gen. Eisenhower said, in
effect, of Gen. Patton: "He
was wrong to slap a service
man. and I am issuing q
reprimand. ! need him in this
war"
The judgment of Gen.
Eisenhower was right. For
Gen. Patton's greatness as
a military man was demon
strated in subsequent months
during the critical operations
that brought the big victory.
Today there Is q "cold war"
going on. 1t requires the ut
most concentration by the
President of the United
States. The smooth function
ing of the White House staff
is an imperative need. In
Sherman Adams, the Presi-
dent has an assistant who
acts as a sort of "chief of
staff" Certainly Mr.. Eisen-
hover needs the services of
Sherman Adams because of
his experience and intimate
knowledge Of the operations
of the Government as they
affect the White House.
But Dwight Eisenhower
wouldn't keep anybody at his
side in any post if he thought
that individual dishonest or
corrupt. He keeps Sherman
Adams because he is con-
vinced that his assistant is
both honest and efficient and
has exerted no improper in
fiuence in behalf of any
body-friend or stranger.
Under these circumstances,
Sherman Adams will not be
sacrificed to satisfy those
who think the way to win
elections is to put for all time
the stigma of guilt on an in
nocent man.

DAVID LAWRENCE

Trial by Jury Is an institu-
ton Of which Americans are
Justly proud. But trial by
headlines and fragmentary
statements - twisted out Of
context by politicians = Is
something Of which nobody
can be proud. For II means
that a man must be consid-
cred guilty until he can prove
himself innocent. This is the
reverse Of what Americans
have always been taught.
Nearly q month has gone
by since President Eisenhow-
er in a press conference re-
ferred to the case Of Sherman
Adams and said, II need him"
From that day to this the
phrase has been repeated by
satirical critics without refer
ence to anything else Mr..
Eisenhower said. How many
persons In the American jury
can remember now just what
the President really said?
Did he say: Sherman Adams
is guilty, but I need him?"
These are the impressions
widely current today among
many members of the Amer
ican jury where the facts
sometimes do not catch up
with widely disseminated
distortions. Here is exactly
what Mr.. Eisenhower did say:
my own conclusions of this
entire episode are as follows:
I believe that the presenta-
ton made by Gov. Adams
to the congressional commit
tee yesterday truthfully rep
resents the pertinent facts.
/ personally like Gov. Adams.
/ admire his abilities. I re-
spect him because of his
personal and official integrity.

Senators Seen F0voring Calling Envoy
Home, With Policy Officials Opposed

The consensus in the Sem
ate cloakroom. when the Sem
ators are not discussing the
trials and tribulations Of Ber-
nard Goldfine or speculating
on when Sherman Adams win
get out" is that the admin
istration should adopt a
sterner attitude toward the
Kremlin's wanton acts Of ag-
gression and withdraw our
Ambassador from Moscow.
The details Of the recent
shooting down Of an unarmed
American transport plane and
the roughing up Of its crew
seem to have filled the cup
to the brim. Republican and
Democratic Senators, aware
Of the futility Of sending dip
lomatic notes to Moscow, be-
lieve that such q strong stand
as calling home our Ambas-
sador might sober up the men
in the Kremlin.
It is high time. say a num-
Der Of legislators, that the
State Department order Am
bassador Llewellyn Thompson
to return to Washington for
consultations" and remain in
this country until the Rus
sian government apologies
for the unjustifled attack on
the unarmed American plane
and pledge not to repeat the
offense.
Recalling our Ambassador
"for consultations" does not
mean breaking diplomatic
relations. The American EN-
basSy would still function
in Moscow under a charge
d'affaires. Such a diplomatic
indication of displeasure was
taken by the Roosevelt ad-
miniStration in 1897 when
our Ambassador to Berlin,
the late Hugh Wilson, was
ordered to Washington to
report" on conditions in
Maitland. We had no Ambas-
sador in Germany until af-
ter the Nazi defeat and the
creation Of the present demo-
cratic republic of Western
Germany. Hitler felt keenly
the slap in the face.
The withdrawal Of q chief
Of mission, whether under q
pretext such as "consulta-
ton" or by q formal decision
as was the case when the
major members Of the United
Nations in 1945 withdrew
their ambassadors from Mad
rid as q diplomatic spank

Of getting a leg up on a good
committe is automatic on
Capitol Hill.
But a freshman Repub-
lican, even if he makes the
grade, can look to no such
rule; for some reason the
Old Guard leadership has
never felt impelled to adopt
the johnson reform.
The foregoing suggests one
reason why associates Of
Mayor Wagner Of New York
think this is a good year for
him to forget that famous
dead END and announce as
a Democratic candidate to
succeed Senator Ives. The
general view is that If Mr..
Wagner insists on it. the
nomination is his. It would
for one thing dispose of the
candidacy of the veteran
James A. Farley, who is, like
Mr.. Wagner. a Catholic.
Gov. Hartman is under
heavy pressure from the
Liberal Party in New York
and what might be described
as the Stevenson wing Of the
Democrats to name former
Air Force Secretary Thomas
Finletter as his choice for
Senator. If the Governor did
so, they feel. Mr.. Wagner
would not attempt to dis
place Mr.. Finletter.

on the great and sometimes
harshly simplified scoreboard
of national politics, few will
look beyond the total of hits,
runs and errors on civil
rights.
Senator Cores victory

ern moderates who wish to
work out the civil rights
problem by compromise and
not to break ,mortally With
the Northern Democrats. 1t
would permit a slight for
ward movement of those who
know that the demand for
increased Negro rights will
not slacken but will at length
break. violently or otherwise,
every barrier that is kept too
high against it.
His defeat would amount
to a reputation of this whole
policy of giving ground grad
ually rather than not at all.
1t would frighten all the
Southern moderates in ma
tional politics. Deeply, il
subtly, it would alter the tone
of the next Senate. The mod
crates would be far less able
to seek middle-road solutions.
The Southern extremists,
who now actually have little
power here, would raise their
influence, heir demands
and their voices. Less imme-
diately visible ripples, too,
would come from this rock in
the pond.
The 1860 Democratic Ma
tional Convention would not
be unaffected. For the North
ern Democratic liberals would
feel both able and compelled
to demand more and more in
the way Of a strong" civil
rights plank. Already they
are making this plain in
private.

tween Republican and Demo-

home for his camera so he
could take pictures Of them.

For Senator Gore is the

Of Southern Senators who
twice in less than three years
have refused to 60 on all the
way with the traditional
Southern position on civil
rights.
In 1856 Senator Gore and
his Tennessee colleague,
Senator Estes Kefauver, and
the Senate Democratic leader,
Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas,
did not sign the Southern
Manifesto for all-out resist
ance to school integration.
And in 1857 Senator Gore
sand these same two worked
for, rather than against, a
moderate civil rights bill.
They helped provide the first
Federal enforcement powers
over the right to vote that
had been granted since the
Reconstruction.
Prentice Cooper, Senator
Cores challenger in Tennes-
see, is recalling these facts
from the levees of Memphis
to the hills of CHATTANOOGA
and Knoxville. He is the

The latest incident. when

the preceding ones. Not only

corrupt or lacking in "per-
sonal and ofhcial integrity"
Why did the President use
the phrase. II need him?
He could have said. II de-
sire to continue his services"
or II want his services But
there was a deeper reason for
the phrase, II need him" It
was, indeed. a reflection Of
the attitude Of a President
who never has stopped and
never viii stoop to the levels
Of modern politics where the
innocent are sacrificed on the
altar Of expediency.
Mr.. Eisenhower could have
amplified his thoughts as
follows: II know Sherman
Adams has done nothing dis
honest. I believe in his of1i-
cial and personal integrity.
But politics being what it is,
I am told that ! must remove
him from ofiice because this
is what the politicians expect
Of me. They feel that their
own election to public Office
must be accomplished at any
cost-even at the cost of a
great principle. The prin-
ciple has endured for CEN
turies. It is that no man
shall be punished for a crime
he didn't commit, and that
every man is presumed in
nocent until proved guilty.
To put 1t another way, po-
litically minded people feel
that an indiScretion is the
equivalent of a criminal act.
Maybe 1t is in politics, but
I never was raised in that
school Of thought. If politics
demands that a kind of life
sentence must be meted out
to a man who has done
nothing corrupt or dishonest,
then the sooner we abandon
that kind of politics in
America. the longer will we
survive as a fully free
republic"
Once during World War II
Dwight Eisenhower was con-
fronted with a decision not
unlike that in the Adams
case. Gen. George Patton
had slapped a serviceman. He
thought the youngster was
taking illness. The general,
Of course, was imprudent and
