U OP OSEGOM LIBRARY EUGENE, ORE. ! The- Day's km By FRANK JENKINS Interesting foreign news note: "Hungarian communist leaders have warned their people to take -ihe execution of Former Premier Imre Nagy as a warning and an example." Why is that so interesting? Well, it needs a little explain ing. What it really means is that the communist CONQUERORS OF HUNGARY have warned the con quered people of Hungary that if they make any more attempts to get back their lost liberty they will be shot down in the streets by Russian tanks and their lead ers will be lined up against a wall and shot down by Russian rifle (quads. It is interesting because it is further proof of the fact that com munism as an institution is so FOUL that in time it must fall of the weight of its own foulness. Carry the news to Nehru the Neutralist. It might Interest him to know (hat if India falls under the heel of communism and the people of India don't like it, after trying it, and seek to get back what they lost, they too will be shot down by Russian tanks and their lead ers (incjuding Nehru, if he should be one of them) will be lined up against blank walls and shot down by communist rifle squads. That's communism AS PRAC TICED not as it is propagandized. Hopeful note from Paris: France today is observing the 18th anniversary of General Charles De Gaulle's call to victory in World War II by rallying be hind his national recovery loan. The government discloses that Frenchmen gave up 11 million dol lars worth of hidden gold yester day when 314 per cent French gov ernment bonds went on sale lor gold. French Finance Minister An toine Pinay says this morning: "If the gold subscription keeps coming in at this rate, we will have to enlarge the vaults of the Bank of France." That, also, calls for a little ex plaining. Since (practically speaking) the time whereof the memory of man runneth not to the contrary there of, the French have had little con fidence in their government. So, instead of buying government bonds, they have BOUGHT GOLD and buried it in the back yard, or hidden it in the mattress, or stashed it away in holes dug in their basements. Private ownership of gold has long been illegal in France, but all French governments have known that if they started jailing Frenchmen for hoarding gold there would be another Reign of Terror. It the French are digging up their gold and buying French bonds' with it, It's a sure sign they have confidence in De Gaulle Frivolous note in closing: You've heard of the mythical Perfect Salesman who was so good he could sell refrigerators to Es kimos.

The man who has been termed the White House yes-or-no man was in a gay mood at a Philadelphia concert, wore a Keystone comedy cop's hat at a Circus Saints and Sinners lunch In Washington, ate cake at a GOP birthday rally, and turned serious again at a Washington interview. (AP Wirephotol Ike Agrees Adams Imprudent But Says He Needs Services Ry JAMES BAAR , United rress International I WASHINGTON (UPI) Prcsi-I dent Eisenhower agreed today that Sherman Adams had been "im prudent" in his relations with Bos ton industrialist Bernard Goldfine. But he said he needs Adams as his assistant. The President opened his news conference with a prepared state ment in which he said: Admitting the lack of that careful prudence in this incident that Governor Adams yesterday referred to, I believe with my whole heart that he is an invalu able public servant, doing a dif ficult job efficiently, honestly and tirelessly. This, the President said, was 'all that I can, all that I shall say about Adams. , He brushed aside a Query wheth er he would respond to some Re publican demands to fire his chief White House aide. In, response to that question, the President said he considered his prepared statement what was de manded and needed and expected of him. , Eisenhower's face was flushed and his tone was stern as he read the statement at a rapid pace. He said he had dictated it be cause he wanted it to be taken down exactly as he intended. Reading from five by seven-inch cards on which it was typed in large letters, Eisenhower led off by saying: "The intense publicity lately surrounding the name of Sherman Adams makes it desirable, even necessary, that I start this con ference with an expression of my own views about the matter. He told the 257 newsmen that "anyone who knows Sherman Adams has never had any doubt of his personal integrity and honesty." No one has believed that he could be bought," the President said. But Eisenhower said "there, is a feeling or belief that he was not sufficiently alert in making certain that the gills, of which he was the recipient, could be so misinterpreted as to be considered as attempts to influence his offi cial actions. "To that extent he has been, as he stated yesterday, impru dent," Eisenhower declared. Adams testified Tuesday before a House influence investigating subcommittee that Goldfine gave him vicuna cloth for a coat: loaned him a rug for his rented Washineton home and paid bills at hotels in New York, Boston and Plymouth, Mass. Adams de nied that he exerted any influence on Goldfine's behalf before govern ment agencies but acknowledged that if he had to do it over again he might have acted "more pru dently." The president said today that "the utmost prudence must neces sarily be observed by everyone attached to the White House be cause of the possible effect of any slightest inquiry, suggestion or ob servation emanating from this of fice and reaching any other part of the government." "Carelessness must be avoided," he added. Eisenhower then said that his "own conclusions on the entire ep isode" were that: "1. 1 believe that the presenta tion made by Governor Adams to the congressional committee yes at walk, dog-trot and loping paces, with loose reins. Then they will line up and wait for the judges to cali out the first -contestant.

I respect him because of his personal and official integrity. 5. I need him. Despite the President's vote of confidence not all congressional Republicans rallied behind Adams. Rep. John B. Bennett (R-Mich), member of the subcommittee which heard Adams' defense, said Adams had caused his integrity to be questioned and so "his con tinued tenure in the high post he holds does not seem justifiable." Another Republican, Sen. John J. Williams (Del.), said he could not accept Adams' explanation of his gift-taking. Williams said he saw no difference between getting an oriental rug and receiving a deep-freeze the deep-freeze being me UUP- symbol tor corruption in the Truman administration. The President did not go into nay details.of Adams' exchange of gilts with Goldfine or of Adams telephone calls to federal agencies on behalf of the multimillionaire Now England textile tycoon. He was asked if he were aware of a charge by Rep. Orcn Harris (D-Ark.) that Adams had violated the law in obtaining confidential information for Goldfine from the Federal Trade Commission. Har ris is chairman of the House sub committee before which Adams testified. Eisenhower sharply countered that the reporter had violated the injunction against questions on the Adams-Goldfine issue.

OREGON, WEDNESDAY, dents in the Truman administra tion. The President kept his tem per and referred the questioner to Hagerty, who was sitting nearby. In his prepared statement, the President also had said that "first as a result of this entire incident, all of us should have been made aware ot one trutn. 'That is." he said, "that a gift is not necessarily a bribe. One is evil: the other is a tangible ex pression of friendship." Eisenhower kept his arms fold ed and stared sternly throughout a lengthy question asking him to spell out Adams' duties. The ques tioner said that Harris had said he did not know what these were. The President said he never thought of trying to spell out these duties but he added that whatever he. the President, has to .do Adams in some measure has to do also. But he stressed that he, as President, and not Adams is the person who makes the final decisions. Asked whether he would order the Internal Revenue Service to provide the Harris subcommittee with Goldfine s lax records, if Harris requested them, the Presi dent said he would consult Attor ney General William P. Rogers on the precedents in such cases be fore he could answer. The questioner had pointed out that the subcommittee might want the returns to determine whether Goldfine had claimed his gilts to Adams as business deductions. The President was every inch an unsmiling general throughout any questioning which touched on Adams. Meanwhile, Harris said that Adams technically violated the law by passing certain Inrbidden information to Goldfine and un- ouestionably "overstepped the bounds of propriety." further resolution of disassocia- tion," Unander said at his home here. Such a resolution, he said "could be a divestment of associ ation by the Oregon Republican Party with Mr. Adams. Unander said his decision was prompted by gifts Adams said he had accepted from Bernard Gold line, a wealthy Boston industrial ist. "There is (he matter of pro tracted and lavish hospitality and Adam admits accepting gifts from Goldfine, Unander said. 'That is something no one in public life should do. That is not the quality of conduct that goes with public office especially high public office, he said. Unander also said he had given some thought to whether Adams should resign the key post in the Eisenhower Republican adminis tration. "When a shadow of douht is cast on a public official, his usefulness is greatly impaired." Unander said. He added: "I think Adams should carefully consider whether his continuation in the White House will be beneficial or harm ful to President Eisenhower."

JUNE 18. 1958 Wrathful Citizen, Unidentified, Raises Furious Cloud Of Dust Over Nude Display In Brussels WASHINGTON (AP) George V. Allen, director of the U. S. In formation agency, will check up on this country's exhibit at the Brussels World Fair. Congression al ire has been aroused over the display of an etching of a partly nude woman. President Eisenhower ordered the on-the-spot inspection alter Sen. Styles Bridges (R-NH) de livered a complaint and urged a quick review of the exhibit. A UslA spokesman said Allen decided to make the trip several weeks ago and contended it was certainly not something ordered overnight by the President. But he added Eisenhower asked Allen to investigate after com plaints reached the White House. Allen was to leave this Wednes day. Allen, the spokesman said, had personally received no complaints.

Here are some of the sights noted in the report: At the entrance to the exhibit stands a sheet of plate glass with an etching ot a woman, nude to the waist, on a beach with savages in the background roasting what looks like a human body. On the walls are pictures which the critic also rated as "not good," adding a "caveman in the dark" could have done better. Scum and lloating orange peel covered a pool in the middle of the exhibit.
