Fast Action Expected
On Adams Successor

which neither Mr.. Eisenhower
nor Mr.. Adams could perceive"
Sees New Technique
Commenting on Mr.. Buffers
attack, Mr.. Alcorn said the
Democratic chairman's "solici-
tude for Sherman Adams re-
veals q new technique in char
acter assassination" and ad-
ded:
After planning and execut-
ing a political lynching, he in
sisted on free television time to
be seen in the front row Of the
mourners."
Earlier, in a luncheon speech
at the National Press Club, Mr.
Alcorn said Mr.. Adams had
acted on his own initiative in
resigning.
He said the presidential as
sistant called him in August at
a National Committee meeting
in Chicago and asked him to
make a survey of the members
with regard to the Adams-Ber-
nard Goldfine affair.
Concern Shown
Mr.. Alcorn said his poll
showed reasonably acute con-
cern" that Mr.. Adams contin-
uance in Office would damage
the chances Of Republican can
didates.
These findings, Mr.. Alcorr
added, we're communicated tc
Mr.. Adams, and, at Mr., Adams
insiStence. to the President.
Meanwhile, Goldflne. in g
statement issued at his Boston
office, said he was sorry Mr.
Adams had resigned.
MY feelings and friendship
Of many long years. toward Gov

statement said. Il believe that

Republicans to the House and
Senate.
The events which led to the
resignation Of Sherman Adams
began when Congress created q
committee to investigate the
operations Of the regulatory
agencies Of Government, 10 de-
termine whether they were
doing the job they had beer
assigned by law. These agencies
are vitality important to every
one of you. They determine
directly the prices you pay for
things like natural gas, rail-
road and airplane tickets, enc
indirectly what you pay fol
| foods at the market and good;
at the store. They decide who
will control the radio and tele'
vision stations you are listen
ing to tonight.
If these agencies are forced
or persuaded, by the White
House to give special privileges
to private citizens or to tht
industries they are supposed tc
be regulating. it is you, the
people, who suffer. The COM
mittee investigation was started
because there was evidence thai
such practices we're going On.
This investigating committee
became interested in Sherman
Adams because almost every
member of every one OF these
regulatory agencies appointed
under the Eisenhower admin
istration had been cleared anc
recommended to the Presi-
dent for appointment by Mr.
Adams. The President named
them. but Mr.. Adams actually
selected them. This gave Sher-
man Adams tremendous power
over these agencies which are
so important to you.

which the Goldflne case con-
tributed prominently to the
disastrous rout of the Republi-
can Party, that the political
pressures from the G. o. P
have been so strong as to leac
to Mr.. Adams tardy resigna-
ton. And we have yet to hear
a word Of moral condemnation
from the President of Mr.
Adams disregard of the proper

That, may I say to you with

Aspects of the Case

There are several aspects To
the tragedy of Sherman Adams,
1t is said that a man in whose
hands the President had placed
unprecedented power and au-
thority - and yes, personal
trust-did not live up to the
standards Of conduct which she
and the President have publicly
prescribed for all in public life
from the humblest to the high
lest.
But perhaps the greatest
tragedy Of all is that Sherman
Adams is not leaving the White
House as the result of a stern
but fair moral Judgment by
his superior, President Eisen-
hover. Sherman Adams is
leaving the White House be-
cause OF a decision based on
political expediency.
He was not forced out by
men who are out to destroy
the Republican Party. 1t was
not the still voice Of conscience
which brought the departure OF
Sherman Adams. It was the
loud rumble of the Democratic
landslide In Maine which served
notice that the people recog-
nized improprieties of conduct
which neither Mr.. Eisenhower
nor Mr.. Adams could perceive,
It is not for me to pass per-
sonal judgment on Sherman
Adams. But let me read to you
from the scrupulously careful,
judicious and independent New
York Times. This is what that
newspaper said today:
Both President Eisenhower
and Mr.. Adams ought to have
recognized the improperly Of
his position long ago. but
through a curious form of astig-
matism, they do not seem to
recognize 1t vet. It was only
Evening star., 1958-09-24

My task tonight is not a
pleasant one. No American
enjoys talking about i'm
propriety in public ofiice. No
American relishes the dark end
Of a long career In public life
whether 1t concerns a member
of his own political party OF
a member of the opposition
party. But as / watched and
listened to Sherman Adams on
television last night, my con-
science told me that some OF
the political accusations by the
Assistant to the President
aimed against the Democratic
Party needed to be answered
and that some of the facts
CLOSED over without comment
by Mr.. Adams needed to be
presented to the American
people.
Accordingly, / asked the net
works to give me time tonight
to talk about the other side
of the Adams case. / want tc
thank the networks and sta
tions over which l am appear
ing tonight for their response
in the traditions of fair play
and giving the public botf
sides of a political controversy
1t is difficult for any man tc
be objective when his owr
career is at stake. 1t is ever
more difficult to be objective
when one has occupied a posi-
ton of power and authority
equal to that which has beer
exercised by some Presidents
of the United States. Such
great power was given to AS
sistant President Sherman
Adams by the President, him
self. The very fact that Sher-
man Adams has exercised such
great power makes it all the
more necessary to point out
that Sherman Adams did not
relate the facts in his talA
last night and that he did moi
offer any proof to document
his political accusations.

President Eisenhower was re-
ported today as preparing to
move quickly in naming a sue
cessor to Sherman Adams as
his chief assistant.
This step was in prospect as
a move to still the political
l Jclamor that continued over the
dramatic resignation Of Mr..
Adams from his powerful po-
sition.
The White House still was
giving no hint as to who would
be named to the $22,500 posi-
tion which Mr.. Adams has filled
for almost six years.
Republican National Chair
man Meade Alcorn, who had an
active role In events leading up
to the resignation, said he had
no idea who would be named.
SeatOn Has No News
Secretary Of the Interior
Seaton, mentioned prominently
for the position, told reporters
at a news conference in Cali
fornia he did not know whether
he was being considered for the
job.
"The matter of who succeeds
to the post Of presidential
assistant is a particularly per-
sonal one with President Eisen-
hover" the Associated Press
reported Mr.. Seaton as saying
Others mentioned in the
speculation Of a successor in
cluded Gen. Alfred M. Gruen-
ther, president of the American
Red Cross at $4,000 a year.
Democratic National Chair
man Paul M. Butler last night
assailed Mr.. Adams and said
his resignation was based on
political expediency.
Butler Gets Free Time
Mr.. Butler asked for and OBJ
tained free television-radio time
to reply to Mr.. Adams, who
announced his resignation in a
broadcast Monday night.
The Democratic leader said
Republicans and not the DEM
ocrats forced the resignation
He added that Mr.. Adams had
unprecedented power and au-
thority but did not live up to
the standards of conduct which
he and the President have pub
Ilicly prescribed for all in public
life from the humblest to the
highest"
But perhaps the greatest
tragedy of all" Mr.. Butler con-
tinued, "is that Sherman Adams
is not leaving the White House
as a result Of a stern but fair
moral judgment by his superior
President Eisenhower. Sher-
man Adams is leaving the

/ Adams In his broadcast last
night.
They are the facts which
caused the President 10 say
that Mr.. Adams had been I'M
prudent, but that he (the
President) needed him. These
are the facts which caused
many Republican ofilce-holders
and candidates for office to
recognize that Mr.. Adams was
a political liability and to urge
that Mr.. Adams resign or be
fired. Editorial criticism Of
Mr.. Adams was widespread.
Many publications completely
loyal 10 the Eisenhower admin
istration adjudged him guilty
of improperly and unwise ac-
tion and urged him TO resign,
There was no Democratic plot
to vilify Mr.. Adams or TO de-
stroy him.
OF course, in his talk last
night, Mr.. Adams could not
very we'll launch an attack
against the members Of his
own party who had called re-
Ipeatedly for his custer, so he
sought TO convey the impress
sion that the attack against
him was launched by Demo-
cratS.

this project, the pending budget
allots $S,S55,O0O. Completion is
expected in 1862.
The Glover-Archbold project.
tagged for an eventual expend-
iture of $4,980,000, involves
the planned construction Of two
park-type, two-lane, non truck
roadways from 3 miles north
ward for the new river free
way TO Tenley circle on Wis
consin avenue.
For this project, expected to
be completed about 1868, the
pending allotments provide
$3.50, 900.
Some groups have opposed
the parkway on the grounds
that it would disturb a wooded
stream valley donated TO the
District strictly for park pur-
poses. One Of the donors,
Mrs. Anne Archbold, has OBJ
jected to any road. but the son
Of the other donor, Charles
C. Glover, jr., has said he has
no objection TO park-type roads,
provided trucks are excluded.
Trucks, under present plans,
would be barred.

cludes $885,000 in city funds
toward a $l.6 million inter-
change at Key Bridge and

There is also to be an inter-
change at the lower end of the
Glover-Archbold parkway. but
details of this remain to be
worked out with park ofhc!als.

into accepting terms that are
neither sound or equitable"
The JAW has set a Septem-
ber 30 strike deadline against
GIN II that company fails to
come to terms.
Mr.. Leary tolds newsn1en the
Chrysler offer was almost iden-
tical to the agreement worked
out with Ford last week after
a six-hour strike.
Mr.. Reuther said that even
though today's talks brought
no agreement. he had not given
Chrysler another deadline. He
also said he had no present in
tention of using strike authority
against Chrysler, which his Ex-
ecutive Board granted him last
week. The board left the strike
date-if any-to Mr.. Reuther.
The 20 hours of talks were
interrupted only for brief meals
and separate caucuses Of the
union and company teams on
key issues. The breakup came
shortly after 6 am.
GIN and union talks resumed
this morning on secondary
issues.
Ford Strike Settled
Meanwhile, Ford production
returned to near normal on
1859 models with settlement Of
scattered wildcat strikes. Walk
outs continued to plague Gen.
eral Motors and Chrysler, with
more than 10000 idled.
The Ford agreement, which
would give workers increases of
20 to 80 cents an hour over the
next three years, still has to be
approved by the UAW National
Ford Council. which meets here
tomorrow. Then the locals will
vote by secret ballot.
Old contracts with the major
