Sunday, Juna IS, 19SS Pago 12 ft a I i I i I i I i I i I I I 1 I I I 1 I 4 5 I i i I A I i Editorial- Caesar's Companion The current furore over Sherman acceptance of favors from a prominent New England industrialist and the resultant controversy over whether or not he has extended favored treatment to the magnate in question is another example of the pressures and pitfalls that await on the national political level and another indication to the public that appointment to high office cannot change character. It is not our purpose to indict Mr. Adams.

He already has admitted that he accepted the favors from the industrialist. He admits that he his position of power as at least two federal agencies on cases involving this same man. He says, however, that insinuations that he has sought or obtained favors for his friend are "unwarranted and unfair." Adams' friends in government naturally accept his denial of wrong-doing at face value, and have raised the cry of "character The decision as to whether to accept the accused denial in this case seems to be a matter of whose ox has been gored, since we recall some of these same political henchmen raised hands in horror at similar disclosures' made regarding officials of the late Truman administration. Be that as it may, the fact remains that in public office Caesar companions must answer to the same high standards expected of Caesar wife; and in failing to live up to this strait code we feel that Adams has outlived his usefulness to the Eisenhower regime. Certainly, the administration steps beyond the bounds of responsibility to the electorate when it spends its time, as the headline in one area newspaper has put it, in "trying to make Adams look good.

Guilty of wrong-doing or not, the "assistant by his own admission, has put himself in a position to compromise the administration. The least he can do is to remove himself as a possible source of criticism; and it behooves the administration to allow him to do it with all expediency. Inside Tha Capital Nation Has 'Weird Relationship' With Communist By Will Harriton World By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON of nine Americans, taken prisoner when their Army helicopter landed in red-run East Germany, is being delayed because of this weird relationship with the Communist world. It goes like this; The United States and other Western nations do not recognize the Communist government of East Germany. This country, allied with West Germany, wants German reunification under free elections.

Must Deal With Soviets The Western Allies argue that in accordance with the American-British-French-Russian postwar agreement or. Germany, all their dealings with East Germany must be done with the Soviet Union. When the nine Americans and their helicopter strayed into East Germany June 7 and landed there, this country, instead of appealing to the East Germans for their release, appealed to the Russians. On June 9 the Russian Embassy in East Berlin refused to step into the case, saying the problem was under the jurisdiction of the East German government. This was one more needle to force American recognition of the German Communists.

The next day, June 10. at his news conference Secretary of State Dulles said the United States would deal with the East German Reds, If necessary, to obtain the nine release. Dulles said: it cornea to getting Americans out of a country, we stand on ceremony, you deal with the But he added: Dealing with the East Germans in this case still mean this country recognized the East German government. On June 11 the East German Communists promised a quick release for the nine Americans if the United States acted in a and manner although they didn't explain what those two words meant. negotiate, they said.

Thursday, Lincoln White, a State Department spokesman, was asked if this country had started negotiations for the nine Americans. He said no. Why not? The Russian refusal to step in was in a statement. It a formal note. So, although Dplles had said this country wait on ceremony, White said this country was waiting for a formal Russian refusal before turning directly to the East Germans.

Asked how long this country intended to wait for the formal note of Russian' refusal before ap pealing to the East Germans, White said he know but intend to wait Dealing with the East Germans, whom it recognize, will put this country in the same position in which it found itself when dealing with the Red Chinee whose government it recognize, either. Ever since Chiang Kai-shek in 1949 was thrown off the China mainland by the Red Chinese and fled to Formosa, this country, now allied with him, has refused to recognize the Chinese Communist government on the mainland. Nevertheless Americans fought the so-called Chinese volunteers in Korea and worked out a Korean armistice made possible only because the United States and Red China abide by it. And, still not recognizing the Red Chinese, this government has been negotiating with them since 1955 for the release of Americans they hold as prisoners. THROUGH THE RID (Ink) SEA Nature Smiles On Alamo Nature smiled on the Alamoqordo 60th Anniversary, leading us to the inevitable conclusion that we must be "living Tight" here in the garden spot of the Southwest.

Despite the fact that the noontime and early afternoon hours on opening dav were face it hot. weather for the Friday morning breakfast and parade was comfortable, and the coolinq airs of after-dark brought the crowds to Frontier Village, the homes show and the rodeo in the Fairgrounds area. Then. Friday night's showers provided just enough dampening of the area to lay the dust and provide coo hr ess fof the air and clearing skies on Saturday provided another banner day for the celebration. We're thankful for the co-operation in making the 60th Anniversary an outstanding success.

Concerning Legislative Oversight Committee has now disclosed unrefuted evidence that Shermcn Adams, the man who really runs the machinery of the White House, received $2,000 of free hotel hospitality at the famous Copley-Plaza, now the Sher- iton Plaza in Boston.

But what the committee has not yet revealed is that Adams was so brazen in his use of the hotel that he registered there at the same time committee orobers were in the hotel checking on him. The committee also has not revealed the amazing number of favors Adams did for Bernard Goldfine, the big textile manufacturer who picked up the hotel tab for Adams. The chief favor involved the dropping of a criminal case against Goldfine at the Federal Trade Commission. But he also lid a lot of little favors, one of them having been appointments to see President Eisenhower. Interviews with Eisenhower are not easy to get.

Senators and congressmen been kept waiting months to see Ike, then sometimes get tbtun. But when Sherman Adams arranged an appointment for his friend and benefactor, Bernard Goldfine, Goldfine was late. This unforgivable. You do not keep the President of the United States waiting. When Adams upbraided him.

the New England textile manufacturer replied, rather nonchalantly: 1 had a very important business engagement." Favors In Return Here are some of the favors which Assistant President Adams out across for the man who gave him free hotel accommodations and various other benefits: On Nov. 12, 1953, a probe of Goldfine was started by FTC in- cstigator Robert Scott. Eighteen days later, Adams called chairman Ed Howrey about the case. Adams asked for a full report, which was submitted to him the same remarkable speed for a bureaucrat. On Feb.

5, 1954, Adams called office again, and asked David Murchison, assistant, for another memo on the case. This memo, signed by Harvey Hannah, chief of the wool branch, declared: is felt that the matter pertaining to failure to disclose small percentage of nylon in certain fabrics may be closed The case was closed. But on Oct. 6, 1954, despite a pledge from Goldfine not to mislabel his textiles, complaints were received he was still doing it. Joseph Klein, manager of the New rork office, reported on alleged violations on March 30, 1955.

But again Adams intervened. On April 14, 1955, he arranged an appointment for Goldfine to see chairman Howrey himself. The conference was held in' office At the end of the meeting Goldfine ostentatiously called the White House from office and thanked Adams. Later, March 13, 1956, FTC at torney Charles Canavan recom mended criminal proceedings against Goldfine despite intervention. However, on July 20, 1956, the commission decided not to press criminal charges.

Murchison Wins Clint Murchison, the big Texas oilman, is listed at Fortune magazine among the 75 wealthiest Americans, worth between $100 and $200 million. But the other day the Small Business Administration did a flio-flop and rated one of his subsidiaries as small business. At stake was a Civil Aeronautics Authority contract for $242,000 for the manufacture of cabinet-type relay racks, which, under the rules of the Small Business Administration, was supposed to go to small business. At first the contract went to company. Then, when Congressman Morgan Moulder of Missouri, champion of small business, protested, small business ad ministrator Wendell Barnes ruled that the U.

M. and F. of Carrollton, Texas, was ineligible because it was controlled by the giant Murchison interests. have determined that an affiliation exists between them and Murchison which precludes their eligibility to compete on government contracts as a small business Barnes wrote Moulder on May 21. As a result, the contract was about to go to the next lowest bidder, the National Engineering and Manufacturing of Sedalia, Mo.

Suddenly, however, something hap- oened. On June 3, Barnes reversed himself. He ruled that the Murchison comoany. which he previously had disqualified, was now eligible. Congressman Moulder has presented the facts to the House Small Business Committee which is investigating.

Some of the points it is probing is the influence of Murchison in Washington. He was a heavy contributor to campaigns, helped finance the convention bill in 1962, loaned a prize Irish stallion to Mrs. Ei brother-in-law, Col. Gordon Moore, for his racing stable in Virginia. (Copyright.

FLASH GORDON Carrying Capacity Of NM Highway Is Being Checked SANTA FE phase of the State Highway continuing research program got under way last week as field crews started a second round of statewide Benkleman-Beam tests to check the carrying capacity of New highways. T. E. McCarty, materials and research engineer for the state road department, said a special crew will be conducting the tests during the next four to six months at approximately 200 check points on the interstate and other primary highways. have any conclusive data from these tests for quite awhile McCarty said, have to analyze the findings and compare them with the first test series after we get our readings.

Study Effects "What trying to find out from these tests is whether there has been any increase in the deflection of the roads. We also want to determine what effects, besides the obvious ones, the moisture has had on the roads during the past McCarty noted that, to get a comparative picture, the crew will conduct the tests at the same locations where the first tests were made in the fall of 1956. The research engineer said the beam qsed in the tests is a much more delicate instrument than it looks, and is capable of measuring to within of an inch. The truck which passes over the beam to measure the road deflection has a total weight of 21,600 pounds on its rear axle, the legal limit allowed on a single axle in New Mexico. The truck is loaded with railroad iron.

McCarty said iron is used because, unlike dirt or other porous material, it will not absorb moisture and thereby change in weight. Stvsrsl Factors McCarty said a number of Influencing factors have to be taken into consideration on the tests. thing we have to watch is the temperature of the he explained. get that, we drill a hole in the mat, fill it with water and then take the temperature with a special thermometer designed for such He said a number of states are experimenting with the Benkleman- Beam tests, to determine exactly what types of information can be obtained from them. All the tests, he said, are important to various highway research projects.

LOUIS passed federal highway legislation will provide jobs for about 255,000 workers this summer, says Federal Highway Administrator Bertram Tallamy. He addressed the annual convention of the National Society of ProfesMonal Engineers last night. Tallamy said long-term effects of the highway program include safer roads, increased property values and a more adequate defense.
