rather than a political conference.

Republicans Feel
Adams Not Long
For White House
WASHINGTON, Iff) — What
[ ever the surface signs may say, a
I substantial segment of the old
pros of the Republican Party
[ have convinced themselves that
| Sherman Adams is not long for
j the White House.
This runs contrary to the clear
i signs President Eisenhower has
' given that he needs his top as
| sistant badly and intends to
keep him at his right hand,
j However, among many of those
; planning the forthcoming con
j gressional election campaign, the
| belief persists that steps are be
| ing taken to smooth the eventual
exit of Adams.
These men are busy revising
the campaign strategy because
of disclosures that Adams ac
cepted costly favors from Bernard
Goldfine.
One of these strategists, who
has maintained friendly relations
with Adams, said a concerted ef
fort now is under way to diffuse
the attacks on the presidential
assistant by reviving influence
charges made against Democrats.
' This would tend to mute any
corruption issue in the congres
sional campaign.
National chairman Meade Al
corn already has started digging
around to see what he can tyrn
up in that field, and he and his
Democratic counterpart, Paul M.
Butler, already have exchanged
barbed comments on the subject.
The GOP strategist said that,
combined with this maneuver,
there will be an effort to sub
stantiate Adams’ contention he
never used his influence for
Goldfine.
Regulatory agency officials al
ready have depied that Gold
fine benefited from telephone
| calls directed to them by Adams.
