Sherman Adams, resigning 'his
position as first assistant to the
President, says he does so for
political reasons. He adds that in
making his decision one factor he
considered was whether staying on
in his high position "might possi
bly diminish the chances which
my party has of regaining control
ot congress in the November elec
tions." He charges that he has been
besieged by a campaign of vilifi
cation by those seeking to remove
him from public life and says it
is clear these efforts "have been
intended to destroy me and in so
doing to embarrass the adminis
tration and the President of the
United States."
He's right, of course, on both
points.
The vigor of the attack-on him
is for political purposes.
He is resigning in an effort to
soften the political consequences
of what he did.
That's the long and the short
of it.
Let's put it this way:
The attack on him has been
pretty rough.
But the Republicans weren't
gentle back in the mink coat days,
Politics is politics.
UPI's George Harder puts it
pretty well in a dispatch from
Washington today. He says:
"Politics is a ruthless business.
Its practitioners are not notable
for the quality of mercy. And so
it would be naive to presume that
the Democrats will let go of the
corruption issue because Sherman
Adams is no longer in the White
House. Politics being what it is
rough and tumble at best the
Democrats will now insist that
Adams' departure is a confession
of guilt.
"If you heard Adams on radio
and TV you know, of course, it
was nothing of the kind. Ethics
had nothing to do with Adams
leave - taking. Practical politics
had everything to do with it.
I doubt if anyone his political
opponents included thinks Sher
man Adams deliberately sold poll
tical influence for a few vicuna
coats and an occasional free,
loading stay at a luxury hotel.
But
As Caesar himself said a long
lime ago, "Caesar's wife must be
above suspicion." If you will con
sult your history books, you will
find that the circumstances were
surprisingly similar.
Back in those early centuries,
the name of Pompeia got mixed
up with an accusation against Fub-
lius Clodius, a Roman, Tribune of
the people. Caesar divorced her
notv he explained, because he
believed her quilty but because the:
wife of Caesar must not even be
suspected of wrongdoing.
Politics, you see, always has
been politics.

'Sir Lancelot1
Fails To Woo
His 'Guinevere
SAN RAFAEL, Calif. (AP) Sir
Lancelot's attempt to win back
Gwenivere failed Monday, despite
a white horse.
James C. Hamm and his wife,
Ruth, called each other Lancelot
and Gwenivere in the early days
of their marriage 20 years ago.
Mamm spells it that way in
stead of "Guinevere."
Mrs. Hamm filed for divorce
from the 42-year-old real estate
broker Sept. 2, leaving their home
at nearby Belvedere with their
two children.
Hamm rode a white horse down
the main street of this San Fran
cisco suburb and hitched it to a
narking meter while he entered
the Albert building to meet his
wife and her attorney.
The horse bore a cardboard

you.
Gwenivere didn t see the wnile
charger she entered and left the
building by a rear door and she
went on to Superior Court and

Lancelot wasn't so chivalrous
last July, she testified, saying he

Judge N. Charles Brusatori

The bomb was discovered as the
French police force redoubled ef

Premier Charles do Gaulle.
Only this morning France's

the bomb was found in the pub

platform of the famed structure

platform is about 100 feet from
the top of the tower.
Police said the bomb consisted
also of an electric battery and an
alarm clock. The device was set
for 7 o'clock, but the clock had
topped.
Police did not know if it had
rcn set to go off at 7 a.m., when
the platform would have been
empty, or 7 o'clock tonight when
it would have been crowded.
The bomb was immediately
brought down by special police
who were called in.

tered in a vacant lot in the Auber-
villiers section of Paris near the
municipal slaughterhouse.
Three Algerian terrorists who
opened fire on a police car were
making their last stand. The
gendarmes, including one whom
the Algerians wounded, tracked
them down.
Ten minutes later the three ter

Presidential Aide
Gives Resignation
Red China's avowed determina
tion to take Chinese Nationalist
territory by force and drive U.S.
forces from the Formosa area
may lead to conflict.
U.S. Ambassador Jacob Ream
and Ambassador Wang Ping-nan
of Red China held their third ses-!
sion on the crisis in Warsaw yes
terday, it lasted 1 hours.
Diplomatic informants said that
Red China was standing firm on
its demand that the United States
agree to abandon Formosa. U.S.
officials said this was so complete
ly contrary to basic American
policy in the Far East as to be
entirely beyond serious considera
tion. . I. ,
The United State.?, for its part,
insisted again that the Reds agree
to a cease-fire that would halt
Iheir shelling of the Nationalist-
held island of Qucmoy.
Beam and Wang agreed to meet
again Thursday. Some officials
said that the United States would
not break off the talks as long as
the Reds want to continue them.
But reports persisted that if there
no progress in the next few
days the United States would take
the crisis to the United Nations.
One dangerous element in the
tuation as seen here is evidence
that Soviet Premier Nikita
Khrushchev is becoming extreme
ly confident and arrogant in his
attitude toward the United States
and other Western countries. If
this is true, 'the fear is that his
backing of Communist China may
not be restrained by careful judg
ments of United States intention
Without restraint on both sides
as the showdown develops, offi
cials said, the crisis could easily
explode into a war between Soviet
backed Red China and the United
States.
U.S. authorities still think this
will not happen. They estimate
that the Reds arc trying to break
down United states support of Na
tionalist China by threats of war.
But they concede that the essential
question is one of Soviet and Red
Chinese intentions and these are
unknown here except for what
Moscow and Peiping say about
them.
WASHINGTON (AP) - While
millions watched with varying re
actions, snerman Adams bowed
out last night as the man closest
to the throne in the Eisenhower
administration.
Still insisting "I have done no
wrong, the presidential assistant
yielded to renewed pressure from
Kepublican candidates and contin
uing criticism from Democrats of
his relations with Bernard Gold-
fine, the Boston millionaire and
long-time friend from whom he
acknowledged receiving gifts,
Announcing his resignation in a
I0-minute nationwide radio-TV ap
pearance, President Eisenhower s
top aide said, "I must give full
consideration to the effect of my
counting presence on the public
scene.
But political controversy boiled
unabated over the corruption is
sue, and much of the comment in
dicated a belief Adams had acted
too late to remove it from the
November election campaign.
Adams gave his listeners no hint
how quickly the "orderly process"
of his resignation would take him
from his watchdog quarters next
o Eisenhower s White House of
fice.
Neither was there any positive
indication from administration
sources about a successor who will
move into a spot from which his
political enemies often said Adams
was running the government.
In immediate speculation, how
ever, the name of Gen. Allrcd M.
Iruenther, president of the Ameri
can Red Cross, stood near the top.
Gruenther has served before as
Eisenhower's good right arm.
Eisenhower accepted Adams
resignation "with sadness," but
the President's chagrin. at Adams
self-imposed fadeout obviously
was not shared by Republican
congressional candidates. They
breathed sighs of relief.
Democrats made it clear
Adams' exit will not diminish their
gleeful attack on what they call
corruption within the Eisen
hower administration.
The Democrats asked for time
probably to be taken by National
Chairman' Paul M Butler to
reply to Adams's statement that
to stay on "might possibly
diminish the chances which my
party nas ot regaining control of
the Congress in the November
election."
Holding a manuscript loosely in
his hands between slanting micro
phones, Adams slowly and solemn

influence any agency, or any offi
cer or any employe of any agency

whatsoever."
Unmentioned in his simple.
forceful 750-word statement was
the name of Goldfino. Nor was
there any mention of Adams' re
peated calls to regulatory agen
cies considering cases involving
Uoldllne s companies.
He said nothing, either, about
his future plans when, at 59, he
steps from the $22,500-a-year post
he has held for nearly six years.
Licking his lips occasionally in
his only show of nervousness,
Adams said "a calculated and con
trived effort" had been made to
discredit him.
'A campaign of vilification by
those who seek personal ad
vantage by my removal from pub
lic Hie has continued up to this
very moment," he said, raising
his eyes to look squarely into the
television cameras. These ef
forts, it is now clear, have been
intended to destroy me and in so
doing to embarrass the adminis
tration and the President of the
United States."
Adams did not say who initiated
these attacks. Most of the de
mands for his resignation have
come from members of his own
party. Democrats generally have
remained silent on this aspect of
the controversy
Adams said it was' not his na
ture to run under fire. Neither, he
said, did he want to give any
grounds for substantiating the ac
cusations against him.
