Cleaning Up
Rep. Emanuel Celler (D-N.Y.), chairman of
the House Judiciary committee, promises subcom
mittee hearings and a staff analysis aimed at pro
ducing "a truly comprehensive legislative . pro
gram for improving and maintaining the quality
of the federal service." The group will study
some 35 bills now before Congress dealing with
conflicts between public and private interests of
government officials and employees.
... -
THE "imprudence" of Presidential 'Assistant
Sherman Adams, like the scandals of the Tru
man administration, is turning the attention of
Congress again to the grave problem of morality
in government. The record of the past would
hardly encourage expectation of any new legis
lation. '
Nevertheless, the fact that Congress is exam
ining anew the level of morality in the federal
establishment and expressing concern over
ethical standards of its own members is un
doubtedly healthy. Sen. Paul H. Douglas (D-Ill.),
chairman of a Labor, and Public Welfare subcom
mittee which recommended a code of ethics for
Cengress and government employees in 1951 said
on June 14 that the subcommittee report had had
a "permeative influence" even though no new
laws were enacted. -
PIECEMEAL legislation adopted over the years
covers dishonesty, partiality, and other uneth
ical practices by federal officials and private per
sons who may tempt them. Chapter II of the U. S.
Criminal Code, for example, provides that any
person who offers anything of value to an officer
or employee pf the United States "with intent to
influence him" in any official act or decision or
duty or in the commission "of fraud is subject to
a maximum of three years in prison andor a fine
of three times the value of the bribe.
Further, the taker of
have his decision or action . . . influenced there
by" is subject to the same penalties as well as
to discharge and disqualification to hold any
federal office of honor, trust, or profit. Further
provisions cover outright bribery of members of
Congress and improper
And a number of federal agencies have establish
ed their own regulations covering the acceptance
of gifts. ,
Nevertheless, the Douglas subcommittee in
1951 found many loopholes in the codes of con
duct prescribed for officeholders.. Moreover, "fa
vors" or mere good-fellowship, stopping for short
of bribery, remain untouched. Chairman Wayne
Coy of the Federal Communications commission
told the Douglas group :
Perhaps there is a serious problem in the over
friendly character that we develop here, secure in our
' own belief that we are not influenced by it, and yet
In every case where there has been influence exposed
those same things have been happening, lunch and
4inner, and a free drink,
"pHE objection to laws governing public moral-
ity is always, "you can't legislate the Ten
Commandments." But the plethora, of bills, now
before Congress indicates a very general feeling
that something can and should be done if noth
ing more than general acceptance of some "rules
of the road."

tablish just such a code

More 'When' Than 'Whether' of
Retirement of Sherman Adams
By LYLE C. WILSON
United Press International
Washington (UPI)
There seems to more when"
than "whether" to the ques
tion of Sherman Adams re
tirement from his White
House place of power.
That is the
private judg
ment of re
sponsible Re
publican par
ty men wh o
jhave kept out
of the public
talk about the
chief assistant
and deputy to
the Presi
Lyle C. WUsob
dent. This conclusion that
Adams cannot survive the ac
cumulating pressures to de
part was not much disturbed
by President Eisenhower's
sturdy . insistence again last
week that he needed Adams.
None expects Eisenhower to
fire his trusted servant. Few,
if any, expect Adams' depar
ture to be a mere matter lof
days.
"The President and Adams
need time in which to man
euver, to think it all over,"
a Republican leader told Un
ited Press International. "Es
pecially does Governor Adams
need some time to think. He
can't resign today, of course.
"It is necessary that the
noise abate somewhat, that
the Republicans who have
been demanding Adams' res
ignation, pipe down. They
have had their say and are
on record with their constituents.-
In -such comparative
calm, Adams would have time
to consider the situation and
to come to the conclusion that
it would be a disservice to
the President and to the
party for him to remain in
office."
Worried About Health
Adams has looked and act
ed somewhat more chipper
in the past few days that dur
ing the early explosions about
his association with Bernard
Goldfine. The governor's as
sociates had ' been worried,
however, about his health. He
had been working too hard
for too long, as one put it.
. The Goldfine episode set
up further tensions. Perhaps
when the uproar subsides,
Adams will have a check up
at the Army's Walter Reed
hospital and, perhaps, again,
he would depart public life
thereafter. That is one line
of thinking here.
Tensions? That's the stuff
of which heart disease and
stomach ulcers are made. How
about this ior a tense situa
tion? The Republican leaders
of Congress usually confer at
the White House once a
week with the President, Ad
ams and some others of the

In the Senate, the last home

embracing an evil innovation,
It would be scarcely less un
thinkable, say, than a propos
al that Senators should pay
some attention to the House of
Representatives.
-
rriHE Senate speaks both for
-- and to the country. Thus,
the fashion of debate except
in extraordinary periods when
some violent figure like the
late Senator Joseph R. Mc
Carthy is running strongly
is rather like a conversation
in somebody's sitting room.
The Senators rarely make the

will do so on the stump.
In the House, the trick is to

the wheels for the ultimate
control of House affairs turn
over silently in that same old
head.
In the Senate, a great deal
of legitimate business some
times of world significance

be an absent-minded, politely

THUS, perhaps the outstand

that this is a most odd place
in which never were so many
speaking to so many others
who paid so little heed. This;
however, is not really the
case. Listening, in the Capitol;
is a necessarily selective proc

Matter of Foe
TUSSOCK DULLES
Washington-rThe critically
dangerous Lebanese situation
has produced at least one good
result. It has
given the best
insight on rec
ord into the
strengths and
weaknesses at
the character
and situation
of John Foster
Dulles, who
now makes
josmi ajsdb American ior-
eign policy almost alone and
single-handed.
From the foreign angle of
vision, as this reporter has al
ready recorded, Foster Dulles
looks like a most regrettable
Secretary of State. Seen from
Washington, however.- he
looks quite different. Here in
Washington, you might say
John Foster Dulles looks like
the only tussock in the
swamp.
Dulles played his tussock
role, when the trouble in Leb
anon began, at once showing
the firmness and decisiveness
that sets him apart from the
rest of our present govern
ment. Quite promptly, with
out any timid hesitations,
Dulles joined the British For
eign Secretary, Selwy Lleyd,
in making a mortally grave
commitment to the Lebanese
government.
IF THE need arose, we told
the Lebanese, and if the
Lebanese government asked
for help from its friends in the
West, an Anglo-American mil
itary expedition would be sent
to protect the independence
of Lebanon. This was about
as serious a promise as the
Eisenhower administration has
ever made to any government
abroad.
Before making this prom
ise, Dulles of course, informed
Secretary of Defense Neil Mc
Elroy but it would be exag
gerating to say that he con
sulted McElroy. Equally, of
course, Dulles obtained ' "the
consent of the White House
but the President nowadays
almost automatically consents
to anything Dulles proposes.
At bottom; in- fact," the whole
responsibility for Jhe promise
to the Lebanese", rested on
John, Foster Dulles alone,
Dulles made his promise
with his eyes .open too. - He
knew quite well i that1 Anglo
American military interven
tion in Lebanon would be a
most unpleasant and risky
business. But he quite correct
ly argued that, if worst came

for all this talk. And the sum
of it makes much sense.. For
it is, at last, "the consensus of
the country.'

to make - any such xommi.t
ment. The Soviet government
then, in a note of June "28,
tried to get the United States
to agree that the Geneva talks
would be made "subordinate"
to the task of "immediate ces
sation" of tests. . :
"Naturally the decision on
the suspension of tests should
be taken by the governments
themselves and not by experts
whose. tasks include the prep
aration of control over com
pliance with the agreement
on the discontinuance of nu
clear tests," the Soviet note
said. v
. This might be interpreted to
mean that Russia would set
tle, if necessary, for a decision
on suspension at an early
summit meeting.
In its insistence hat the
United States deal with the
East German regime on the
release of the helicopter crew,
the Soviet government made
no attempt to conceal the fact
that it is using meat-axe dip
lomacy. It is simply trying to
force the United States to rec
ognize the East German pup
pet government.
Sucn recognition would be
a surrender to Russia's insis
tence that the puppet regime
is a sovereign government
arid that in any summit or
other talks on German unifi
cation, it must be left to the
East German and West Ger
man governments to negotiate
that issue.
to worst, intervention would
be less risky and unpleasant
than the total destruction of
all the vital Western interests
throughout the Middle East.
And this kind of general Mid
dle Eastern catastrophe was,
and is, the virtually sure price
jf allowing Egypt s Nasser an
other victory in Beirut.
.
THUS Dulles started with a
decision that was very
bold but also wholly logical.
But it is unwise, indeed it is
almost criminal, to make the
sort of promise that Dulles
made to the Lebanese, unless
you are also ready to be bold
in drawing the logical conse
quences from your own ac
tions. Having made such a prom
ise, a great power must show
it means every word of it, A
great power may wait a while
to see whether such a promise
really has to be kept. A great
power may first experiment
with purely political instru
ments. But if these instru
ments do not work, a great,
power that has promised to
send troops does so without
delay, before ' the situation
detonates and gets out of
hand.
The British government
tried to draw just the conse
quences listed above from the
promise that had been made.
The American government in
stead insisted upon delay
after vain delay. The main
trouble was that just about
everyone in the American
government except John Fos
ter Dulles heartily - disliked
the promise that Dulles had
made.
THE most important opposi
tion came from our U.N.
delegation and the Pentagon.
The Chiefs of the Armed Serv
ices indicated their position at
the outset, by doing the exact
opposite of showing we meant
every word of our promise.

To the Editor: -Many years
ago we distinctly remember
reading from the observations
of rational scientists of how
some astronomers concluded
our universe, including the
sun and . its planets, were
headed toward a season called
"the great summertime" of
existence. Now there are
many explicit reasons given
by modern scientists in con-'
cord with past theories, that
the visible universe is headed
towards "a million years of
summertime" as very reason
able. - - -
Many books by reputable
authors have been, written on
the present trend of physics .
that verifies the truth of the
prediction. Probably this phe
nomenal change will alter all.,
the ways of our present day

run to 90 degrees, the weather
man said.
ise was given, the Marines on
duty in the Mediterranean
were actualy left to vacation
on Spanish beaches, several
days sailing from Lebanon.
At the U.N., too, our secon-
dary foreign policy-maker,
Ambassador Henry Cabot '
Lodge, had committed himself
to a soft, parliament-of-man
line when the American gov-
ernment was making its disas
trous decisions about the Suez
crisis. He now took the same
line about the Lebanese crisis.
Lodge should apparently get
most of' the credit for the UJf.
mission to Lebanon, which
has turned out to ' resemble
the shameful Runciman mis
sion to Czechoslovakia that
prepared the road to Munich.
A Middle Eastern Munich is
now quite likely. Foster Dul
les still insists that the United
States and Britain will send
troops to Lebanon rather than
permit a Munich there. But if -we
intervene now, we shall be
doing so after the price of in- .
tervention has doubled and
quadrupled and decupled. One ;
must conclude, therefore, that
the only tussock in a swamp
cannot suDDort the weignt oi .
such a policy-decision as Dul
les made.
