SHERMAN ADAMS RESIGNS, BUT
SAYS ‘I HAVE DONE NO WRONG’
WASHINGTON, UPl — Sherman
Adams is getting out, but the . po
litical shooting over the assistant
to the President is going right on.
That was apparent in the wake
of Monday night’s nationwide
- broadcast in which President Eis
enhower’s No. 1 aide insisted “I
have done no wrong,” but an
nounced he is leaving his post in
“consideration of the effect of
my continuing presence on /the
public scene.”
Most Republicans endeavored
to dismiss the whole matter of
Adams’ relations with Boston tex
tile magnate Bernard Goldfine as
one cleared up by Adams’ exit,
and to present Adams himself as
a victim of smears.
"Corruption" Is Democrats Theme
But Democrats kept right on
talking about “corruption.” They
gave every sign they will keep
right on reminding the voters of
costly favors Adams accepted
from his old friend Goldfine at
a time when the Presidential
aide was making or instigating
inquiries to federal regulatory
agencies about cases involving
Goldfine.
And even some Republicans ex
pressed the view that Adams’ de
parture took so long it won’t do
them much good at the polls in
November.
Adams himself showed up as
usual for work at the White House
today.
Tuesday.
Adams gave his listeners no
hint how quickly tfie “orderly
process” of his resignation would
take him from his watchdog quar
ters next to Eisenhower’s White
House office.
Neither was there any positive
indication from Administration
sources about a successor who will
move into a spot from which his
political enemies often said Adams
was running the government.
Gruenther Possible Successor
| In immediate speculation, how
I ever, the name of Gen. Alfred M.
Gruenther, President of the Amer
ican Red Cross, stood near the
: top. Gruenther has served before
as Eisenhower’s good right arm.
Adams’ job pays $22,500 a year.
Gruenther receives $30,000 a year
as head of the Red Cross.
Eisenhower accepted Adams’
resignation “with sadness,” but
the President’s chagrin at Adams’
self-imposed fadeout obviously
was not shared by Republican
Congressional candidates. They ■
breathed sighs of relief.
Democrats made it clear Adams’ i
j exit will not diminish their glee
; ful attack on what they call “cor
j ruption” within the Eisenhower
, Administration.
j Holding a manuscript loosely in
1 his hands between slanting micro
: phones, Adams slowly and sol
I emrrfv read his denial that he had
j ever influenced or “attempted to
j influence any agency, or any of
; ficer or any employe of any
I agency in any case, decision or
matter whatsoever.”
Unmentioned in his simple,
forceful 750-word statement was
the name of Goldfine. Nor was
! there-«ny mention of Adams’ re
peated calls to regulatory agen
cies considering cases involving
Goldfine’s companies.
He said nothing, either, about
his future plans when, at 59, he
steps from the j*ost he has held
for nearly six years.
"Calculated Effort"
Licking his lips occasionally in
. his only show of nervousness,
j Adams said “a calculated and con
trived effort” had been made to
I discredit him.
I “A campaign of vilification by
[those who seek personal advan
: tage by my removal from public
life has continued up to this very
j moment,” he said, raising his eyes
to look squarely into the televi
sion cameras. “These efforts, it
is now clear, have been intended
to destroy me and in so doing to
embarrass the Administration
and the President of the United
States.”
British Hope To
! Start Atlantic
Jet Service First
LONDON, — Britons were
happily laying odds today that -
the first jet planes to make the
rich Atlantic passenger run will
be British.
A glance at the headlines in
most London papers was enough
to lift English hearts.
“Comet will beat the 707,” said
the News Chronicle.
“Comet Winning Atlantic Race,”
was the headline in the Empire
minded Daily Express.
Chief competitor of the sleek,
four-engine Comet is America’s
larger Boeing 707, scheduled to
make the first New York-Paris
passenger crossing for Pan Amer
ican World Airways Oct. 26, and
the New York-London hookup
Nov. 16.
If the fondest hopes of British '
aviation leaders work out, the
Comet may streak across the At
lantic with passengers as early as
the second week in October.
Overhanging the jet stampede
is the question of noise restric
tions. Airport officials from tfew
York, London and Paris started
work in the French capital today
to try to hammer out some kind
of operations control system for
jet airlines.
