WILLIAM S. WHITE
Adams Affair vs.. Urgent Issues

A political writer need not
adopt the ivied-hall view Of
a professor Of political sci
ence to suggest some odd
disproportion in all this.
A past administration -
Mr.. Truman's - was repudi-
ated in considerable part
upon a public finding that the
mess in Washington" in
tolerably endangered this Re-
public. 1t is true. of course.
that graver charges were
made-"softness" on COM
munism. But the separate
counts of this heated indict-
ment plainly Cancelled each
other out. For the admins
tration that was too kind to
communism was at the same
time denounced for persisting
in killing Communists in
Korea.
oldest of all, nothing
really was done by the oppo-
sition in an area Of true and
m eaningful vulnerability.
This was the area Of Mr..
Truman's domestic legisla-
tive policy, which was an
almost total failure.
Today, there is a rough
parallel-rough, indeed, In
every sense.
The most important and
adult controversial domestic
stand of the Eisenhower ad-
ministration-its refusal to
panic in the face Of the re-
cession-is not being de-
bated.
. The great weakness Of that
administration-its confused,
half-truculent, half-appeas-
ing foreign policy-evokes
little constructive alarm and
less constructive defense.
For we must all make alb
solutely certain that if Mr.
Bernard Goldfne also tipped
the bellboy for Mr., Sherman
Adams this vital datum is
not lost to history.

rive members Of the SUI
preme Court OF the United
states have shut their eyes
10 the "cold war; In effect,
they say there are no Ameri-
can troops stationed in West
ern Europe today: there are
no American troops now
guarding the armistice line
every day In Korea. and
there are no conditions OF
emergency existent In the
world at present.
Hence Communists and
Communist sympathizers res
ident in this country are en-
titled TO passports with the
seal Of the Government OF
the United States on them
and are free TO fiaunt such
a passport anywhere in the
world!
-Four members Of the SUI

hand, say that Were this a
time Of peace. there might

us to decide, since petitioners
then would not need a pass

The FIVE who think 1t is
very important for an indi-
vioual to travel where he
pleases and do what he wishes
abroad to denounce his own
Government and its policies
ere Justices Douglas. Black,
Brennan, Frankfurter an d
Chief Justice Warren. The
inference is plain that the

sires supersede the rights Of
the Government which rep

majority opinion, may be
necessary for a livelihood. 1t

Passport to Communist Danger?

Communist or Communist
sympathizer or even q mis-
guided person who isn't a
Communist might do during
his travels abroad that could
embarrass the United States
Government In the carrying
out OF It's policies. There Is
no way. for instance, 10
watch citizens carefully who
are doing damage 10 the
United States.
This country has no right
OF surveillance abroad such
as the FBI can exercise at
home. The moment q pass
port is granted. q Commu-
mist sympathizer can have
access TO places abroad where
Il might be undesirable for
the United States 10 have
him go-as. for instance, TO
plot with or get instructions
from agents Of a foreign es-
pionage apparatus.
The majority Of the JUS
tees concede that Congress
could pass a law specifically
withholding passports under
conditions arising out Of war
but not clearly defined as yet.
Chairman. Walter Of the
House Committee on Un-
American Activities is already
planning TO introduce such a
measure. There are, however.
hints in the majority opinion
that almost any measure TO
control the issuance Of pass
ports in "peacetime' may be
struck down by the court.
Thus have the majority Of
the Supreme Court again
thwarted the international
policies Of the United States
Government in fighting COM
munism. They have said, In
effect. that Americans who
go to Soviet Russia and make
speeches there denouncing
the United States cannot
have their passports with
drawn. For all this appar-
entity is part Of freedom Of
belief" and freedom Of asso-
citation"
This is in line with pre-
vious decisions Of the pres
ent Supreme Court, which
has already upheld the right
to preach treason as more
important than the right:
of millions Of other Ameri-
cans to be protected against
the effects Of reasonable &C.
tivity inside and outside thu
United States.

DORIS FLEESON

This was the position when
Sherman Adams concluded
his precedent-shattering APP
pearance before the Harris
subcommittee investigating
the regulatory agencies:
President Eisenhower's
strategy is to give his near
in lspensable aide a trial
heat in the public opinion
stakes. The President sent
Adams into the running with
a kindly pat on the head.
The Adams strategy bore
clearly the hallmark of Will
liam P. Rogers, now Attorney
General. as it burst on the
Nation in Vice President
Nixon's famous 1852 tele-
cast defense of the then Sem
stor Nixons private expense
account, another ogers
script.
For the Nixon dog, Check
ers. was substituted the sue
cess story of Russian immi-
grant Bernard Goldfine, the
old friend for whom Adams
interceded with the agencies
whose top personnel clear
through the Adams Office.
The vicuna coat said to
cost $500 was transmitted di-
rectly into another Republi-
can cloth coat made Of Gold
fine material which Adams
has now been informed cost

circle. But it is throwing up
not the grand and urgent
questions about the conduct
Of our public affairs. 1t is
turning up hotel bills and
vicuna coats-where in the
Truman administration 1t
turned UP hotel bills and
mink coats.
All this is not to say that
propriety or taste were served
by Mr.. Adams in Mr.. Eisen-
hower's White House-or by
some of Mr.. Truman's people
in Mr.. Truman's White House.
And 1t is not to say that the
cold, continued arrogance of
Sherman Adams is easy to
defend.
1t is not to say that real or
alleged cronyism is desirable
or unimportant-even aside
from its relation to the real
issues Of this terrible time.
But what is to be said is
that the country is again
showing a most peculiar
standard of weighing an ad-
ministration. In Mr.. Tru-
mans time such trifiing mat
tiers as the Marshall Plan and
the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization could not be
usefully examined pro or con.
Nearly everybody was too
engrossed with the immense
disclosure that some White
House stenographer had q
jacket she had not bought and
Mai. Gen. Harry Vaughan a
freezer without a sales slip.
Today, few are prepared to
ponder whether the Eisen-
hover administration is win
ming or losing the cold war.
They must engage themselves
with such vast issues as
whether Mr.. Adams did some
thing for Mr.. Bernard Gold
fines clothing business.

The Sherman Adams affair
is on two levels that are a
world apart. One is dramatic,
obvious-and comparatively
inconsequential. The other is
largely unnoticed-and deep
ly significant.
AS to the surface. several
points are now generally &C
cepted among politicians Of
both parties:
/. Adams. the Assistant to
President Eisenhower, has be-
come a heavy liability to the
Republicans in a congress
sional election year.
2. There is insistent con-
gressional Republican pres
sure for his dismissal by the
President very soon-by July
is if possible.
3. A rough justice is at
work. specifically at least.
For Mr.. Adams. now so har-
ried for accepting favors
from wealthy friends. was one
of the most righteous de-
nouncers Of the so-called Gin
fluence peddling" Of the Tru-
man years.
The story thus has the
added Zest Of the case Of the
deacon who is found making
eyes, even If harmless elderly
eyes, at the blond choir
singer.
So much for the headlines.
What really matters. how
ever. is the melancholy light
thrown by this business upon
the degree of political matu-
rity Of this country.
1t indicates anew that two
bit issues-a politics of puer-
ility-have a dominant place
in our national life. 1t is the
adult equivalent of the (West-
ern) cops and robbers that
enthrall the children Of the
television.

To Nations Efforts to Stem Subversion

may give aid and comfort TO
the enemy.
The i've Justices In the
majority opinion declare that
the Supreme Court in the
past had decided that the

OF course. be restricted In
wartime but that this was
true only on q showing OF
1.-THE gravest imminent danger
TO the public safety"
Who is the better Judge Of
when the public safety Is
endangered Five justices
cloistered In the chambers OF
a court who seem to have
become blind 10 the Commp-
mist menace and the infiltra-
ton OF subversion practiced
by agents Of Communist
imperialism In every coun-
try In the world, or the De-
partment Of State. which has
available up-to-the-minute
information from everywhere
as TO the dangers to the
safety Of the American
people?
The majority Of the JUS
tees fatty say that no condi-
ton Of emergency exists at
present, but the dissenting
justices point out that the
proclamation issued by Presi-
cent Truman in 1850 de-
claring an emergency is still
in effect. His formal state
ment said that World con-
quest by Communist i'm
perialism is the goal Of the
forces Of aggression that
have been loosed upon the
world" and that The in
creasing menace Of the
forces Of Communist agrees
sion requires that the ma
tional defense Of the United
States be strengthened as
speedily as possible"
The four dissenting JUS
ticeS sum 1t UP in these
words:
"In a wholly realistic sense
there is no peace today, and
there was no peace in 1882"

gress and the President took

ment at the ballot box at
regular intervals.
In this effort, Adams de-
picted himself rather humbly
as both accessible and courte-
Gus, a finding VIGOROUSLY at
odds with congressional and
press experience.
But the subcommittee
treated his whole effort to
create the best possible emo
tional climate for himself
with great indulgence. They
were polite and patient; they
did not interrupt him. 1t was
very sporting and very unlike
their dealings with the ordi-
nary run Of witnesses.
On the findings Of fact as
seen by Adams, however, both
members and counsel dealt
him lethal blows.
Adams commended he did
nothing special for Goldhne
and got no unusual results.
Chief Counsel Robert w.
Lishman showed that the
Adams calls produced instant
action from the then Federal
Trade Commission chairman,
Edward F. Howrey, who gave
Adams information forbidden
by law either to Goldf1ne or
any Goldfine lawyer. Adams
weakly replied he did not
know that the giving OF such
information was forbidden
and that he had mo present
recollection" of passing it on
to Goldflne.
Lishman showed, too. that

He has, and uses. ample evil

Moscow disdain of pledged

reasonable expectations that

Well time hurries by {.

bring it home more sharply
than others. Take Lassie,
for example. Just a nice,
easy-going television story
about a boy, his dog, Nom
and Cramps. But now Las
sizes got a new family {.
mostly because Tommy Ret
tig, the kid who grew up
with Lassie, is too old for the
part.
1t seems like just yester-
day that Tommy was a big
eyed moppet barely out of
the building block stage.
Now his voice has dropped
like a cold thermometer g.
and if he didn't shave he'd
be about as fuzzy as Lassie.
OF course, Lassie hasn't
changed much and she's
starting all over again with
7-year-old Jon Provost. And
the day will come when Jon
starts shaving. It'll be an
other shock to Lassie's fans,
but it'll come.
