This real cool idea of Washington photography Randy Routt was probably prompted by the capital's near-90-degree temperature. i One Frlond to AiioMipi Goldfine Called Adams 43 Times Adniilsfi-Moiilli Telephone Record; Risks Penalties on Other Questions July 16 (AP)-Bemard Goldfine Wednesday acknowledged telephoning Sherman Adams "a friend you call whenever you see fit" 43 times in six months. But the wealthy Boston industrialist continued mum on some matters, despite more warnings of possible contempt action from a special House investigating subcommittee.

Goldfine, in the witness chair for the seventh and supposedly next-to-last time, described as correct a record of 43 long-distance calls he placed to Adams, President Eisenhower's No. 1 aide. The record showed the calls were made to the White House, Adams private number, and, on one occasion, to Minneapolis when Adams was traveling. th from November 20, 1957, to May 11, 1958, and thus amounted to almost two calls weekly on an average. Goldfine said: "I consider Governor Adams one of my best friends, a friend you call whenever you see jit he does the same to you." While the subcommittee neared the end of its marathon questioning of Adams gift-giving friend and presumably approached decision on a contempt citation the House exploded into a new row over the investigators' tactics.

Representative Protests Use of His Name The immediate issue was a bitter protest by Representative Terkins Bass N. against the mention by subcommittee Chairman Oren Harris Ark.) of a name identical with Bass' in connection with a company wTiich Harris said was a party in a case of apparent political string-pulling. Bass said lie had nothing to do with any such thing and that Harris should have done him the courtesy of checking before mentioning his name. Harris said the name was quoted from a publjp record, that he explained it might not be the representative's, and that he was "willing, ready, and in a position to defend any action this committee has taken." Republicans and some Democrats stood and applauded Bass. Most Democrats stood and applauded Harris.

A proposal to investigate the investigators to see whether they violated House rules was renewed, but no action followed. With Goldfine on the stand, the investigators again ticked off his gtfls to Adams: A vicuna coat, for which he said he contributed the material and a business friend had made up at no cost; the loan of an Oriental rug; smaller mats, which he might or might not have expected to get back; one or two suits from his mills' materials and, said Goldfine, "There might be other odds and ends I take care of." Business-Expense Question Not Answered But Goldfine refused to answer a question whether he made it a practice to charge off as business expenses personal gifts to friends. He has acknowledged so treating some gifts to Adams. Harris upheld him in his right not to respond to a question so broadly phrased. He ruled the question touched tax matters that might be Internal Revenue Service business, but not the rommittee's.

But Harris to no avail ordered Goldfine, under warning of likely contempt action, to reply to a question whether he picked the directors of the East Boston Company. This is the real-estate holding company which went nearly eight years without filing financial reports required by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Adams has testified he had an inquiry made about the S.E.C. case against East Boston, but used no influence in its behalf. The investigators Wednesday were trying to pinpoint responsibility for failure to file the reports.

Goldfine, majority stockholder but not an officer, said he didn't even know what these reports were. Questioning brought out that East Boston's fiscal year ends in March and that many of the Boston hotel stays by Adams for which Goldfine picked up the tab were in March. But Goldfine swore there was no connection. MtN'S Bors' BASKETBALL SHOES New Englandcr's Gift of Golf Clubs To Adams' Bared Washington, July 16 MV The White House said Wednesday a man named Sam Goldstein not to be confused with Bernard Goldfine once gave a set of golf clubs to President Eisenhower's chief assistant, Sherman Adams, White House jjress secretary James C. Hagerty confirmed this when asked for comment on a report published by The Washington Star that a man named Goldstein had bought a set of matched clubs for Adams at the Burning Tree Club, where the President also plays, Hagerty said Goldstein lives States'-Rkhts Bill Foes Iii House Are Weakening Washington, July 16 (AP) Major opposition to a disputed states'-rights bill appeared to be crumbling Wednesday, in a second round of legalistic argument in the House.

But a showdown vote, originally scheduled for Wednesday afternoon, was put off until Thursday to give both sides in space. He said the challenge of the Space Age is so great "that it dwarfts the animosities and hatreds that divide humanity to-day." If man can meet this challenge properly, he said, "we may find that the road to lasting peace truly lies through the stars." The bill sent to the White House was hammered out by a Senate-House conference committee that resolved the differences in conflicting measures passed earlier by the two chambers. Sets Up The N.A.S.A. It provides for creation of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and a nine-member advisory council headed by the President. The agency would be built around the 47-year-old National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics now headed by Hugh L.

Dryden. Under the bill, the President would resolve any conflicts arising between the new space agency and the Pentagon's advanced research projects agency, which handles missiles and other Space Age weapons research.

4th ST. cases involving construction of State laws. Behind the opposition is an openly voiced suspicion that the bill, if it becomes Jaw, will be used by many states to get around federal labor laws and the Supreme Court's desegregation ruling. But with the present session of Congress drawing to an end, the chances of the bill becoming law this year seemed slim, since it has not yet been considered by the Senate. somewhere in New England but that he doesn't know what Gold-1 stein's business is.

He stressed, however, that he had found out it has "nothing to do with any business involving the Govern- ment."

Backed by most Republicans and almost all Southern Democrats, the bill is aimed at the doctrine of pre-emption under which, sponsors say, the Supreme Court has been invalidating State laws. It provides that federal laws shall not supersede State' laws on the same subjects unless there is a direct and irreconcil. able conflict or unless Congress specifically gives the federal act priority each time it passes a law.

Nelson Case Called Cause The bill is a direct outgrowth of the Steve Nelson case in which the Supreme Court set aside a sedition conviction of a Communist tinder a Pennsylvania law because there was a federal statute on the same subject.
