requests-but he cannot be
compelled to tell about his pri-

why in 1947 he paid certain
commissions that are related
to matters being disputed in
court proceedings now going
on.
House committee members
maintain the information is
relevant because the Goldfine
company in question must file
certain reports with the Sc
curities and Exchange Com
mission. But the failure of the
SEC itself to act over a period
of eight years with reference
to any alleged violation is
something between the men,
bers of that commission and
the congressional committee.
Likewise, If the legislative
purpose is to write corrective
legislation giving the SEC more
legal power. then the matter is
one for consideration first by
the House Committee on
Banking and Currency or by
other committees which deal
with financial matters.

fairs Of any business. it has
the right to do so. but Mr..

Lishmon Findings Seen Causing Him
To Lose Interest in Republican Needs

The House inquiry into the
Sherman Adams intervention
with Federal regulatory agen-
cies in behalf of Bernard
Goldfine has taken its pre-
dictable course.
The interests Of the oddly
assorted pair diverged on the
instant that the Harris sub
committee counsel, Robert w.
Lishman, began to cut close
to the bone of the multifarious
Goldflne business operations.

sonal and political. 1t requires
Goldflne to come clean and so

was hired by Goldfine and put
in general charge of the case.
1t was Robb who arranged for
the public relations build-up
and kept contact with Adams
and the White House.
At first Robb was very sue
cesSful with assists from the
subcommittee members and
an "imprudent" reporter and

But Counsel Lishman had
been doing his homework,
concentrating on the record
Of the Goldf1ne companies
and their dismal relations
with the regulatory agencies.
When Lishman at long last
got his innings, Goldflne's
Boston attorneys, whose pri-
mary mission is protection Of
his business affairs, promptly
lost interest in the politics
Of the situation. Glimpsing
the uncharted abysSes which
LiShman' was opening up be-
fore their client. they silenced
him.
The result is the threat of
a contempt citation against
Goldfine when the Harris
subcommittee meets again
tomorrow.

illusionment even among for

United Nations In its effec-
tiveness to maintain peace

manipulations Of interna-

be accepted because it ap-
pears that the powers Of that
high functionary are un-
limited and nobody can re-
verse him.
Mr.. Hammarskjold's con-
clusion was reached without
any real investigation either
by him or by the handful Of
U.N. observers who were not
permitted by the rebels to go
to sensitive spots. It was
based, according to reliable
information, on a promise to
Mr.. Hammarskjold by Presi-
dent Nasser Of the UAR that
II some way could be found
to remove Lebanese Presi-
dent Glamour from Office the
slight assistance the UAR is
giving its Moslem brothers in
Lebanon would cease.
But Nasser repeatedly
added that Intervention with
U. N. security forces-as
when the French and British
were forced to give up their
military campaign in Suez-
might spark q war" That
was sufficient for the Secre-
tary General to make up his
mind. His report not only
whitewashed the Nasser ac-
tons, but placed the U. N.

tons in a position where
they had to leave Lebanon

is engaged in an earnest but
philosophical struggle to
wrestle the paperwork of this
behemoth of bureaucracy
down to some scale within
human grasp. His private
comments make it plain that
he is fully aware he is not on
any boys errand.
To predict that McElroy
will fail in this-and it is
necessary so to predicts to
take nothing away from his
justified reputation as an
administrator. What he has
set out to do is like taking up
a pick-axe to level Mount
Rainier. The purpose is good:
the prospect isn't.
Thus, though the Pentagon
is butt of a thousand jokes
about red tape and extrava-
gance and the uncivil war
between Army, Navy and Air.
there are other things to re-
member. This immense struc-
ture lying on the Virginia
side of the Potomac had
much to do with winning the
Second World War. And it
houses the largest number of
dedicated military profess
sionals ever gathered in one
place.
Too, the Pentagon is a
world that these men never
made. Its reason for being
in its present fantastic size
and COSTS to be found in
the Soviet menace to man
kind. If the Pentagon is the
most swollen of all the Off
cial faces of Washington, this
is why it is so.

sure Republicans everywhere

functioning as President Eli

ant.
The stories all suggest that
Adams will delay resigning
until after adjournment so
that Democratic orators viii
not enjoy a field day. The
fact is that considered Demo-
cratic strategy is to let the
story carry itself. as it has
done so well.
1t is equally true that the

good campaign fodder now
however it turns out. 1t will
take no very accomplished
politician to ring the changes
on it to suit his audience and
the mood as he finds it.
Goldf1ne also is undergoing
a clear change from his Robb-
created role as just a warm
and generous creature Of inn
pulse. The scent Of fear now
infects his behavior. 1t may
be only that he perceives

could be that he suspects that

fortunately, this group. which

colonialists become not free
but independent. Most of
them follow the lead Of India,
the largest "uncommitted

are down at the U. NJ, they
vote on important issues with
