Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - June 20, 1958, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it. Pleasant news cooler these Days by George e. Sokolsky the ordeal of Sherman Adams everybody who writes news writes about Sherman Adams tile facts in his chm an not absolutely Clear except that Sherman Adams has a Friend Bernard Gold Fine. Who is a new England operator Iii industries and investments and that Adams accepted Goldfinch hospitality and exchanged gifts with him the Assumption is that Gildone wanted and got favors from Adams but this Lias not been established. Were Sherman Adams hot such a Granite like Yankee he would ask that a congressional committee investigate everybody else As Well As him get a list of All hospitality accepted by government officials and other Public persons including members of the congressional committees. For it is common practice among politicians and others to accept various kinds of hospitality and As Long As the government limits a per diem expense account to the ridiculous amount of $12 which is hardly enough to pay for a hotel room in a Large City much less for food drink entertainment and incidental expenses some officials will have to accept hospitality if they Are to get around. How about All the senators and members of the House of representatives who travel about the country making speeches at from $300 to $1,500 a piece and who accept excellent hospitality under the circumstances How about those who travel on air plane junkets or go to the openings of new hotels in All parts of the world the real truth of the matter is first thai this is a Campaign year and if the democrats can get anything on the republicans or vice versa it will be done. Secondly Sherman Adams is an extraordinarily unpopular Man. So were John Adams and John Quincy Adams his forebears. There must have been quite a bit of the Gay spark in John Quincy Adams because when he was the american minister at St. Petersburg he did quite Well by himself and his country. In fact All the Adames from the beginning have been notable if not exciting men. In an earlier generation Henry Adams and Brook Adams were particularly startling for the unorthodox of their views. I have never met Sherman Adams because i do not choose to recognize the keeper of the Gate at the White House. When the american people elect a president he should serve and not Delegate his functions to another. Unquestionably Sherman Adams has exercised by delegation an authority for which there is no provision in the Constitution or in the american political system. The Only Man to try to make such a place for himself before Adams was colonel Edward House in the Woodrow Wilson administration. However. House never replaced Wilson in matters of judgment serving principally As a Legman and competing with More Able men such As Herbert Hoover Bernard Baruch Robert Lansing Newton Baker Etc. In the end. Wilson dropped House. Too tile current attack on Sherman Adams has nothing to do with $2,000. After All. It is for such men a piddling amount. It has to do with Sherman Adams. Enough people dislike Adams to enjoy his discomfiture they dislike him because he makes his Power Felt he is Curt and Sharp and at times offensive. Some regard him As sanctimonious. The acceptance of a Vicuna coat which is pretty poor goings in a nation where minks can be bought on the instalment plan really Means nothing and in a world where presents Are exchanged on birthdays Christmas mothers Day fathers Day and on almost every other occasion it is to be presumed that Goldfine could take a Vicuna coat out of Stock and Send it along. The question of virtue hardly arises Here. Of course what would seem to Goldfine a cheap inexpensive Little Christmas present that goes on some expense account anyhow would be extremely costly for Adams to match out of his salary As a government official with no expense account. No those who Are Yelling about Sherman Adams w Ould not like an ail around investigation into Christmas presents birthday presents free loadings of various kinds air plane junkets tabs picked up by night club proprietors who appreciate the Honor Etc. Why not therefore Tell the truth namely that they do not like Sherman Adams that they want to vol. To no. 145 it.
