Sherman Adams Assesses
President Eisenhower's
Greatest Days In Office
NEW YORK UP — To Sherman
Adams, former President Eisen
hower’s greatest days in politics
were when he followed his own
instincts and spoke from the
heart.
Adams, chief aide to Eisen
hower during much of his time
in the White House, looked back
on his life in an interview at his
home in Lincoln, N. H.
Adams, interviewed by Robert
Donovan, chief Washington cor
respondent of the New York Her
ald Tribune, said:
“Eisenhower’s greatest days in
politics were when he followed
his own instincts, said what was
on his mind, spoke from the
heart and forgot the picayunish
political philanderers who stay
ed with him when they thought
he could win their elections for
them, and left him when he need
ed support to put over his pro
gram for America and for the
world.”
Discussing President Kennedy,
Adams said he felt the new ex
ecutive was doing “a reasonably
creditable job.”
Donovan declared that Adams
appears to feel that the Kennedy
Administration is going along on
about the same level of achieve
ment as the Eisenhower Adminis
tration.
Adams resigned his post with
the administration in 1958 after
admitting that he had accepted
favors from millionaire Bernard
Goldfine of Boston.
He does not speak directly about
this in the interview, but he
talks sympathetically of those who
go to Washington to help the
government and says that under
the same circumstances he would
go there again.

Confers With
Sarit of Thailand
BANGKOK, Thailand W —
U. S. Vice President Lyndon John
son said today he has made it
“abundantly clear’’ to Thailand
that the United States recognizes
the importance of maintaining the
integrity of this pro-Western na
tion.
Johnson made the statement at
a news conference after a second
sesion of private talks with
Premier Sarit Thanarat. They
will confer for a third time to
morrow morning before the Vice
President leaves for India on the
next leg of his Southeast Asian
tour.
Johnson declined to expand on
the details of U. S. support for
Thailand, but the presence of
high military authorities indicated
military as well as political and
economic problems were discuss
ed.
Thailand is seeking strong as
surances of U. S. support in the
event that the Communists win
in neighboring Laos.
The gravity of the situation was
underscored by the fact that
Johnson’s original schedule had
called for only one session with
Sarit.
The Vice President stressed
that the aim of his current mis
sion is to obtain advice and to
“counsel with the chosen leaders
of this area.”
