His nomination to the Gus

Ex-0fficiaI
TeIIsofProtesf
On Adams Aid

A former member Of the
Armed Services Contracts APP
peals Board has confirmed
reports that he had vigorously
protested apparent interview
ton Of Presidential Aide Sher-
man Adams In a claims case
pending before the board.
The case wound up last year
with the board awarding SAL ,264
10 Raylaine Worsted, Inc, a
now-defunct textile mill In
Manchester. N. II.
The former board member.
Roswell Austin. now retired. a
brother Of Senator Austin. Re-
publican of Vermont. said the
gist Of. his written protest 10
the board was that IF there
had been influence" in the case
by Mr.. Adams. the latter was
guilty Of unethical conduct.
Mr.. Austin said the Adams
matter was first brought to his
attention when another board
member, Col. Robert Bard.
showed him a communication
from Gen. Maxwell d. Taylor,
Army Chief Of Staff.
To the communication was
attached a letter from Mr..
Adams to Gen. Taylor. This
letter. Mr.. Austin described as
a routine request" for infor-
nation in the Raylaine mat
ter.
But. Mr.. Austin said he
became "incensed" when he
noted that Mr.. Adams had also
forwarded a letter written to
him by a representative Of
Raylaine asking that Mr..
Adams help them" with the
claim. Mr.. Austin said that in
his opinion Mr.. Adams should
not have sent along the second
letter.
The $41,264 award was
granted by the board after
Raylaine's claims had been
disallowed by the Army.
Raylaine had been fined
SIS, 900 by the Army for failing
to live up to contractual de-
livery dates on textile ma
terials. The corporation con-
tended that delays in delivery
were not caused by its
negligence.

Corporation" - which says
the same thing.
To enforce judicial DEGREES
the FIRST step Is 10 deputize
private citizens as assistant
United States marshals
Thousands Of them can be
deputized for that purpose,
and II Is customary for citi-
zens 10 accept such duty
when asked by the Federal
government. No such step
was taken at the time OF the
disturbance at the high
school at Little Rock In Sep
has been taken In the several
tember 1857. and no such step
months that have since
elapsed. There have been epi-
sodes In the past where Fed
eral troops have been sent
into States 10 quell disturb
ances. but In every instance
these have been marked by
the subsequent cooperation
Of State authorities or the use
Of United States marShals
and deputies.
More than S4.5 million Of
Federal funds for the main
tenance Of the troops has
been spent in the Little Rock
episode. Unfortunately, no
challenge as to the proper use
Of such funds can be made
by any taxpayer under rul-
ings laid. down by the Su-
preme Court. So the entire
affair can be argued only in
the court Of public opinion
in the hope that never again
will the executive branch of
the Government send Federal
troops to quell a local dis
turbance except at the re-
quest of the State.
For If the precedent be-
comes valid, Federal troops
may be used at any time to
put down strikes and prevent
violence in labor disputes,
and on other occasions of
local rioting. without the
consent of State authorities.
There have been many in
stances of terror recently
inside the public schools in
various Northern cities which,
if the Little Rock precedent
were followed, would justify
the use Of Federal troops.
