The resignation OF Sherman

Indeed, there must have
been some sinking of hearts

Brutal as 1t may sound,
Washington society includes
some rather crudely mott
waited elements. Ofi1cialdom
is built on power and power
is the flame that causes eager
moths to maneuver toward
its bright circle.
The most successful setting
for this maneuvering Is the
social scene where the people

py hunting ground for rep

After six years Of encircle-
ment they must now be at q
loss! Sherman Adams sue
cessor can't possibly have as
much power with only two
years to go. Alas! What price

How frustrating a situation
this must be for certain
