The Mushrooming Adams Story

the Presidents management
Of the Government establish
ment for five and a half
years and they see Mr..
Adams as the nearest thing
to the indispensable man in
Washington.
On his spare shoulders has
rested the entire burden Of
the day-to-day operations Of
the domestic establishment.
The President has no taste
for that and never had. 1t Is
Adams who has set policy,
seen people, cleared what
went before the President.
Veterans here realize that
every Government operation
carries with it a heavy freight
Of background, detail, secrets,
and people. Only Adams
knows 1t; he has tirelessly
worked at it. Experienced
men ask themselves very
seriously If the Government
itself will not suffer if Adams
is suddenly dropped.
Then there are the Jokes.
A fair sample tells about the
wire service photographer
who complained bitterly about
lack of cooperation" from
Adams.
"All / wanted was for him
to pose wearing that vicuna
coat. standing on that rug
and holding those hotel re-
ceiptS." said the photog-
rapher. But I couldn't get

Odds Even President Will Fire Him Now
Despite Aides Near IndispensubiIiN

Mrs. Sherman Adams is
probably correct in saying
that her husband win be
forced to resign, but the real
pressure on the White House
is coming, not as she sug-
gested from Democrats, but
from livid and frightened
Republicans.
Democrats in Congress
have been told by their
leaders that this fire needs
no stocking for the present.
The word Is to let the Harris
subcommittee carry on, and
assurances are given that it
has plenty Of kindling.
The story is mushrooming
on several levels.
The Harris subcommittee
began to put in the back
ground. Its probers named
the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel,
New York. as another tenn
porary stop for what is now
known here as the Oldest per-
manent floating hotel home.
The Waldorf tab picked up
by industrialist Bernard
Goldfine for Adams: $267.05.
The basis was laid, too, for
arguing that Goldfine may
have proflted after all by
Adams intercession. 1t was
disclosed that a Federal
Trade Commission attorney

Among the recent decisions
Of the Supreme Court that

throughout the country are
rulings that anti-sedition
laws passed by AZ States can
not be applied to subversion
unless Congress says so, and
that persons who are Com

the laws Of the States which
forbid this.

For the Democratic Policy
Committee Of the eenate has
declined thus far 10 permit
a vote 10 be taken on a bill
that would help the country

Likewise. II will be said that

allowed to roam around free
to repeat their offenses.

published a criticism with
which many members Of Con-
