Resignation Os Adams

In Bright Glare Os TV

WASHINGTON (UPD—Sherman Adams took his leave of President Eisenhower with a heavy heart. Probably no federal official in history ever left office in such a bright bath of public light as did Adams when he announced his resignatoin as the assistant to the President. He told his story Monday night over the combined facilities of all the big television and radio networks. As his silver-topped head flashed across millions of screens and his voice echoed through countless loudpeakers Adam seemed calm, collected—yet also dejected. His wife Rachel would not face the stares and questions of reporters at the broadcasting studios but stayed home alone with her television set turned on. Adams in 1952 was the shining lancer riding at Eisenhower’s side in full tilt against Democratic corruption. Television rode into office with them and became a permanent qdjunct of the presidency. Thus it may have been fitting for the second most powerful man of' this administration to ride out oq the same silvery beam that brought him to town. Proponent of Integrity Adams’ words of resignation were frequently biting as he lashed out at his political tormentors. But the President’s top adviser bdre the markings of months of worry. The 59-year-dld New Englander looked thinner than usual, drawn about the face and as serious as a mourner when he undertook his painful chore Monday night. The prelude to his highly unusual broadcast was as difficult as his exit

Adams was the leading Republican proponent of integrity in government, the author of frequent blasts at the Democrats for what he called their “mess” under the Truman administration. Then last June, through the efforts of a congressional investigating committee, Adams was unveiled as the recipient of generous gifts from Bernard Goldfine, the Boston tycoon who seemed to steep in hot water with the government. The committee attempted to show thht while Adams was accepting favors from Goldfine, the presidential assistant also was letting government-agencies know he was most interested in what was happening to cases involving his friend. Adams became a very warm political potato. GOP candidates began to vie with each other in demanding his departure from the White House. Free Air Time Adams took political soundings all summer. He talked with Eisenhower. The belief grew within the official White House family that no matter how unjustified or regrettable. Adams would have to go eventually. He began to have less direct contact with the President. Monday morning he flew to the vacation White House in Newport, R.1., to check out with his boss. The President, for reasons unknown as yet, either decided or agreed to give Adams a television and radio send-off. Through tris press secretary, James C. Hagerty, the President requested free air time from the networks and got it. Adams and Hagerty flew back from Newport, the public resignation statement quickly mimeographed. Adams drove to the broadcasting studio in his own modest station wagon. In his resonant voice he told his story of why he decided he must resign to avoid hurting the President or his party's chances at the polls this fall. His tale told. Adams quickly bundled up his speech, said polite goodnights to the studio officials and pressed grimly through a horde of reporters who wanted to know about his future. , | “I have no further statement,” | said the former New Hampshire governor almost inaudibly. The man who once could strike; terror into a government agency i simply by barking “This is, Adams” into a telephone seemed! sadder than strong as he walked out. Wetback In Custody Os Lafayette Police LAFAYETTE. Ind (UPD - Arturo Garcia, 25. identified as a “wetback.'' was in custody today' after telling police he swam; across' the Rio Grande into the: United States more than a year, ago. Garcia told authorities he worked in various parts of the' country before coming here.

Slangland Tractor Case In News Again Federal Marshals At Stangland Farm ALBION, Ind. (UPD— Farmer Ethan Stangland won the first round in an effort to prevent the government from seizing his “big tractor,” but federal marshals today were expected to have the last word. Stangland, 56. head of a Hoosier organization fighting crop controls, was penalized in 1954 on grounds he grew 30 acres of wheat instead of his government-set allotment of 14 acres. The penalty, plus int e r e st, amounts to S6OO. Government agents seized Stangland's “big tractor” and a smaller one last June in lieu of the money. After a lengthy court fight, Stangland won them back temporarily last Wednesday on grounds of technical irregularities in the original seizure order. Two federal marshals turned up at Stangland’s farm Monday to again take possession of the tractor. “I'm sure not going to let that seizure 'stand and not do anything about it," Stangland warned. “I told them (the marshals) not I to put a seizure sticker on the ' tractor until they were prepared Ito move it. ; “I won’t be responsible for storming their property,” he snorted. The marshals thought things iover and then went away to get something to move the tractor. They were expected to return today with a truck. Earlier, the U.S. District Court at Fort Wayne issued a writ of execution calling for Stangland to pay up. He refused. “My intention is never to give up the figh't,” he said. “As un-American as this is. we cannot give up.” Stangland said his attorney, Clifford E. Simon Jr.. Fort Wayne will move to quash the latest writ of execution, under which the tractor could wind up being sold as auction. Opponents of government crop controls have backed Stangland's stand He said area farmers have promised they will not allow the government to store his seized tractor on their property. After last week’s court ruling. Gov- Harold Handley sent the farmer a telegram congratulating him on “winning” his case against the government. Stangland originally refused to pay the penalty for growing too much wheat on grounds the government had no right to say “what a farmer can raise.” But he lost that case before both Federal Judge Luther Swygert of Hammond and a U.S. Court of Appeals. Stangland then went to court again, arguing the government could take only wheat to satisfy the penalty and not his tractors. It was under a technicality in the second suit that the farmer temporarily got his machines back. - Trade in a good town — Decatut

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Executive Os Eli Lilly Company Dies INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Charles J. Lynn, 84, who rose from a $2-a-week dry goods store employe to vice-president of Eli Lilly & Co., died Monday night in his home. He suffered a heart attack during the weekend. Lynn, also known as a philanthropist, joined the drug firm before the turn of the century. Issue Regulations On Stock Shipments Government Moving To Halt Screwworm WASHINGTON (UPD — The Agriculture Department today announced new regulations controlling interstate livestock shipments iin a move aimed at curbing the spread of the screwworm, a costly pest of cattle and other farm : animals. The regulations, including a an on interstate movement of screw-worm-infested animals, are aimed at bolstering a federal-state campaign to eradicate the screwmworm in the Southeast. The new rules also set up an “eradication Area" covering Mississippi. Alabama, Georgia, Florida and South Carolina. Thirteen inspection stations have been opened in bordering areas of Tennessee, Arkansas and Louisiana to check livestock being moved into or through the five-state “eradication area” in an effort to prevent re-infestation from outside. Agriculture Department o spokesmen advised stockmen who plan to ship animals into or through the five-state eradication zone to check with local, state or federal veterinarians for specific requirements on such shipments. The campaign to wipe out the screwworm by breeding it out of existence began on a small scale last January and moved into high grear last summer. The drive is based on the fact that the female screwworm fly mates only once. Agriculture Department technicians are releasing about 50 million male flies weekly after sterilizing them by exposure to radioactive cobalt. When a female fly mates with one of the sterile males her reproductive career is over with no new generation of flies to show for it. Officials believe if they can keep a heavy supply of sterile males in the infested areas long enough the fly can be exterminated. Burns Prove Fatal ~ To Fort Wayne Lady FORT WAYNE, Ind. (UPD — Mrs. George Van Allen. 71. died in Parkview Memorial Hospital Monday night of burns sustained last week when a space heater exploded in her home. Mrs. Allen ‘was cleaning the stove when the accident happened. Police said she mistook directions on a can and threw its contents into the stove when she should have mixed it with the oil fuel

Unique Exchange Program Arranged College Student Exchange Program A unique college exchange student program has been arranged between Heidelberg college of Tiffin. 0., and the University of Heidelberg in Germany, Dr. Charles M. Prugh, head of the Tiffin Heidelberg's department of German announced this weekend while visiting with the Leo Kirsch family in Decatur. Two Decatur students, Sarah Gerber and Ronald Corson, are presently studying at the Ohio school. Proficiency in the German language is a prerequisite for the exchange program, Dr. Prugh explained “German language is the key to the door of German understanding. for the knowledge of history and culture.” Roots of a modern-day friendship between the two Heidelbergs can be traced to 1946, when the students at Tiffin, 0., collected a considerable amount of clothing, shoes, and books for needy students at thd German institution in the first post-war years. Recently American Heidelberg students on a surqmer tour of Europe enrolled at the German Heidelberg for a month’s course as a part of the program of the tour. Earlier this year Dr. Prugh flew to Germany to complete details of the new plan in effect this fall, which includes regular term study. There are about 175 students from the U.S. at Heidelberg in Germany, where the enrollment is around 6,000.
