...friendship with Bernard Goldfine, testified Staff Chief Sherman Adams before the House Special Subcommittee on Legislative Oversight last month, was "not a casual one nor one of recent origin." It was because he knew Goldfine so well that Adams was willing to vouch for him as "an upright and honest citizen, trustworthy and reliable." Whether Goldfine actually fits that description, whether he is the sort of businessman from whom public officials can accept gifts without having to return favors, remains the central issue in the Adams-Goldfine case despite distracting Goldfine pressagentry. Last week TIME reporters, conducting dozens of interviews...
...House Speaker Sam Rayburn kept the Senate-passed Kennedy-Ives labor reform bill "on the Speaker's desk," and thus ready for floor action under special committee-bypassing rules, despite insistent protests of the National Association of Manufacturers and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce that the bill ought to go through the normal committee channel. If sent to committee so late in the session, the bill would die there, and that is just what the N.A.M. and the Chamber want. Reason: they object to half a dozen minor Taft-Hartley revisions, e.g., requiring employers to report to the Labor...
...concrete mansion, designed like a combination pleasure dome and pillbox, offers various conveniences: an indoor swimming pool, two bowling alleys, a pipe organ, a roof garden where strolling violinists play dinnertime waltzes, vast reception rooms, six master bedrooms, baths where the water flows from gold faucets, and-a special convenience to guests with an urgent sense of privacy -a walled-in parking lot protected from the eyes of reporters who like to look up license numbers. In his own bathroom the gang chief likes to loll in a $10,000 tub carved. from a single piece of Mexican onyx...
Federal housing programs have grown like suburbia in the quarter-century since Franklin Roosevelt proclaimed that "one-third of a nation [is] ill-housed." A structure so costly-taking in mortgage insurance, home-improvement loans, slum clearance, public housing, special programs for colleges, military posts, old people, veterans, farmers-requires clear definitions of its purpose and scope, but in mid-1958 the definitions are even hazier than they were in New Deal days. Federal housing programs seem to be founded on a feeling that better housing is A Good Thing-a worthy sentiment, but too vague, in itself, to serve...
...other corner: Multimillionaire Contender William A. Blakley. 59 ("I want to be yawl's Senatuh''). anointed heir to the conservative Democrat legions of exiled ex-Governor Allan Shivers. Blakley was appointed by Shivers to warm the senatorial seat between Daniel's departure and the special election that put Yarborough in. After that 103-day stint he did not stand for election-probably on Shivers' orders. Probably at Shivers' request -and surrounded by ex-Shivers speechmakers and advisers-he is running...
