Much more attention has been
given to the case of Sherman
'Adams than to that of his friend
Bernard Goldfine, the Boston in
dustrialist who showered him with
gifts and picked up the charge slips
at hotels in Boston, Plymouth and
New York. It's easy to understand
why. Adams is a key man in the
White House,' virtual chief of staff
for President Eisenhower. He has
been the guard at the gate as
visitors entered and left the Presi
dent's own suite He has wielded,
In the President's name great
power, and that without exposure
to press interrogation or congres
sional committee inquiry, until his
voluntary appearance Tuesday.
Having admitted imprudence in bis
official conduct, which Eisenhower
himself confirmed, he has become
the talk of the country, with Re-
nublicans outshoutirur the snicker
ing Democrats in demands that he
depart from wnite House precincts.
But what about Goldfine? He has
a life story. Son of an immigrant
from Russia he quit school at an
early age and started a swift as
cent up the ladder of wealth. Early
he got into business for himself,
buying remnants from textile mills
and selling them at a big profit
to other manufacturers. Then he

The execution date now stands
at June 26, 1959.

that a governor has no right to
commute a death sentence just

Truce in
Lebanon
Shattered
By WILTON WYNN
BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) -
Gunfire Friday broke an un
easy two-day truce while U.N.
Secretary General Dag Ham-
mars kjold talked to Premier
Sami Solh aboutihe Lebanese
rebellion.
The Lebanese government was
reported pressing Hammarskjold
to recommend a U.N. Emergency
force to patrol the Syrian border.
But Hammarskjold described as
somewhat annoyed was said to
believe the U.N. mission should
be solely one of observation.
That would leave border Dolie-
ing to the Lebanese, who have
charged the rebels are being
helped by armed bands and sup
plies coming from the neighbor
ing Syrian province of the United
Arab Republic.
"Truce' Broken
Fighting that has shaken the
pro-Western government of Presi
dent Camille Chamoun for a
month eased off just before Ham
marskjold arrived Thursday. Gov
ernment supporters and opponents
presumably, had a tacit agree
ment to make no major attacks
during the secretary eeneral's
visit
But fighting broke out in several
parts of the city Friday. Armored
cars moved into the Tarik Jadida
quarter to halt street fighting.
There was no immediate report
of casualties.
One man was shot at a building
under construction opposite the
British Embassy, and reportedly
died later.
Christian vs. Moslem
Gunfire also echoed over the
Zarif Moslem section and the
Mozeitbeh Christian area, adja
cent to the Moslem "area where
opponents of the government are
entrenched. The population of Leb
anon is approximately half Chris
tian and half Moslem. '
UNITED NATIONS. N.Y. (AP)
The U.N. said Friday night Sec
retary General Dag Hammar
skjold Intends to go to Cairo this
weekend. Talks there presumably
would center on the Lebanese
crisis which Lebanon's President
Camille Chamoun claims is being
inflamed, by President Nasser's
united Arab Republic.

2Vi Cents as
Bean Picking
Floor Backed
By LILLIE L. MADSEN
Farm Editor, The Statesman
While cash growers will- take a
$10 a ton cut-in the two top grades
of beans, the Oregon Bean Growers
Association voted Friday night not
to pass the reduction on to pickers,
The annual business session was
held in the basement conference
room of Marion County Courthouse
with some 50 growers and several
processing plant representatives
present. O. G. Long presided.
Retention of the minimum pick
ing price paid for the past several
years will be recommended to the
state wage and hour commission
meeting Monday afternoon in Port
land. This is 214 cents a pound
with a one-fourth cent bonus to
those who'Jemain throughout the
season.
While the majority favored the
retention of this minimum, several
growers voiced dissension because
of lower prices they were receiv
ing. Growers said that several con
tracts had been signed at $160 a
ton for No. 1 grade and $140 for
No. 2's. Last year these prices
were $170 and $150. This represents
approximately a 42 per cent drop
in profits, growers agreed.

Raging Blaze
On Cascades
Fire in Linn County Bums Over 100
Acres Into Willamette Forest Fringes
Statesman News Strvlt
SWEET HOME Flames given momentum by a brisk mid
day wind burned out of control in the bone-dry Cascade foot
hills east of here early Saturday. The fire had burned over 100
acres and into fringes of Willamette National Forest.
Forestry officials, who had 100 men on the fire lines, said
that while the fire remained
slowed because of dyingl
winds. A standby crew was on
the job through the night.
Calming winds and cloudy
skies forecast for Saturday, to
eether with higher humidities,
had officials hopeful that the Linn
fire would be controlled shortly,
The blaze was believed to have
started about 12:30 p.m. Friday in
logging operations of Simpson
Lumber Co. near Quartzville,
Linn County foothill community
about 25 miles east of Sweet Home.
Flames Leap Creek
A strong west wind enabled the
flames to leap Canal Fork Creek
near the Santiam River and blazed
up in the form of two spot fires on
the east side of the creek. Crews
of loeeers and forestry personnel
contained one of these, but the oth
er got away and raced up a heav
ily timbered bill.
Momentum gained and virgin
timber in its path, the fire ad
vanced to the edge of thickly-for
ested Willamette National Forest
despite countless fire lines thrown
up by crews.
Men sent in to battle the blaze
included crews from the Simpson
operation and Wilson and H k W
logging firms in the Detroit area
Also on the lines were personnel
from Linn County Fire Patrol.
Cause Nat Known
William Shumate, dispatcher for
the Linn Fire Patrol's Sweet Home
office, said cause of the fire wasJ
not known. He said there had been
no thunderstorms in the area at
the time.
Meanwhile the Associated Press
reported that lightning-set blazes
which blackened 2,800 acres of
rangeland near Vale in Eastern
Oregon, had been brought under
control by more than 125 firefight
ers. Bureau of Land Management of

Pay Boost
For Million
WASHINGTON (AP) - The
thrill of a 10 per cent pay increase
went coursing up the spines of
1,021,072 government, workers
throughout the country Friday.
They not only get the 10 per cent
pay boost under legislation signed
by President Eisenhower but they
get a retroactive bundle going
back to Jan. 12.
That means extra lump sum
checks ranging from $150 to $500,
and averaging about $250, to bring
the rajses up to date.
This windfall is expected to pro
vide an ecnomic shot in the arm
to Washington and other cities
having big concentrations of fed

Some of the military agencies
plan to issue the retroactive pay
checks to their civilian employes
in the next few days.
Other federal agencies will
make the retroactive payments in

Gov. Holmes
Denies Eye on
Senate Seat
Gov. Robert D. Holmes said
Friday he positively would not run
for the U.S. Senate in 1960 against
Sen. Richard L. Neuberger.
The governor said he heard the
rumor that he would run from
members of Oregon's congression
al delegation while he was in
Washington, D.C., Thursday.
"I will not run," he told a press
conference. "I have no aspiration
for the Senate. J can say posi
tively that I wilfnot run against
Dick."
Both are Democrats. Neuberger
will complete his first six-year
term in 1960, but hasn't said
whether he would seek re-election.
The governor, up for re-election
this year, charged that his Repub
lican opponent. Secretary of State
Mark Hatfield, hasn t said whether
he favors a regional corporation
to build dams and distribute power
in the Northwest.
The governor gave his stand in
favor of such a corporation to a
congressional committee a few
weeks ago.
Hatfield, when informed of the
charge, said he had endorsed the
corporation idea in speeches and
press releases several weeks ago.
"Unless he has been badly mis
informed or misquoted, the gover
nor has fired the first volley of
untruth in the coming political
campaign," Hatfield said.
Negroes chanted. Two shots were
fired from a riot gun to keep the
angry crowd of Negroes back. A
brick was bounced off the head of
one white policeman who also waa
struck with fists.
Eight Negroes, seven men and
a 14-year-old girl were arrested.
The Negroes closed in on a
white county policeman who
started to arrest the two Negro
youths. The policeman, Richard
Seger, 25, said he used a short
leather strap, called a "slap
strap," when the teen-agers re
sisted arrest.
Seger said he had arrested Lee
Lawrence, 17, for driving a truck
without an operator's license,
when another Negro driver spun
the wheels of his car and sprayed
him with gravel. '
Seger reported that " when he
started to arrest the other youth.
Joseph Rodgers, 19, a scuffle
broke out and Lawrence joined in
the attack on the policeman.
The crowd of Negroes grew.
When police reinforcements ar
rived ihey found Seger holding!
the crowd back with drawn revolv
er. The other policemen joined
him. They stood back-to-back with
revolvers drawn facing the crowd
i
as shouted curses were exchanged.
As police left with the arrested
men, Seger'i car was showered
with, stones.
