MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford. Oregon, Thunder, June 19, 1958 5 In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Shop Once . . . I think the feeling of mostlj 01 us, ionowing me appearance of Sherman Adams before the house investigators, is one of disappointment and disillu sion. He is too NAIVE to hold the office of first assistant to the President. He testified, for example: "If I had had more experience, I believe I would have acted a little more prudently" (in his dealings with this man Goldfine). HE HAS had lot of 9x perience. He was a member of the New Hampshire house of rep resentatives, and served as its speaker. He served as a mem be9of the U.S. house of rep resentative. He served a term as governor of New H amp sire. His service in those of fices should have taught him that when somebody showers costly gifts on an office-holder that somebody WANTS SOMETHING. BESIDES Adams holds an A.B. de gree from Dartmouth coMege. As a graduate of Dartmouth away back in 1920, vrtien the classics held a much larger place in college curricula than they do now, he must have been familiar with the Aeneid, in which Virgil makes Aenas say: "Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes" (I fr the Greeks when the compearing gifts). If his education did him as much good as it should, he should have recalled that line when the Goldfine person began to pour gifts on him jihen he reached a position Of great power and influence. IF YOU are to hold the office of fiftt assnistant to the President of the United States, you must KNOW ALL THESE THINGS. Otherwise you will expose your country to scorn and contempt. And You will bring , grief and sorrow and shame upon the President whom you serve. OUR government is so FRIGHTFULLY compli cated. It has so MANY favors that can be given. For example: Suppose you are the first assistant to the President of the United States. Suppose you have a friend who is a shrewd speculator. As first assistant to the President you Q will be more or less familiar q with more or less everything that is going on in the govern ment. Just one little word dropped 1 in conversation about an im pending decision by some gov ernmental agency such as the Securities Exchange Com mission, the Federal Trade Commission, the Federal Communications Commission, the Interstate Commerce Com mission can mean a golden opportunity to turn a quick buck in a big business deal. fiOING on with the list Suppose a friend pos sibly a friend who has shown you many favors, asks you to make an appointment with the head of some government agency with which he wants, or needs, to do business. Sup pose the head of that agency who wants to keep his job and knows that the President has the appointing power misunderstands your interest in. the introduction and jumps to the conclusion that he'd better give your friend an im portant tip on what to do and DOES give nun an important tip and he acts on it and jklAKES A LOT OF MONEY. A LL these things COULD happen. It is to KEEP THEM FROM HAPPENING that Presidents have first as sistants. The first job of a first assistant to the President of the United States is ft) know so " much about the complicated business of the government that he will be able to FKlr VENT such things from hap- . npnrne. It is shockingly apparent after Tuesday s hearing that Mr. Adams lacks a lot of the O qualifications of a first assis- ant to the President. Former Resident in Denver Hospital Mrs. Lucille Kennedy Moore, former Medford resi dent, has been confined to a Denver. Colo., hospital for the past two fyeeks following in juries received in a fail while working. Mrs. Moore's sister, Mrs. A B. Mims, said Mrs. Moore is expected to return to her home later this week. Mrs. Moore is the mother of Bud Kennedy, 384 O'Gara st., and Mrs. John O'Hara, 305 Laurel st. While living in Medford she was employed by Memory Gardens.
