WIRE: The behind-the-scenes goat in the ill-fated nomination of Tom Lyon as director of the Federal Bureau of Mines is Sherman Adams, according to Washington sources. President Eisenhower reportedly was embittered and embarrassed by the fiasco that Resulted, which lends further credence to the story that Adams' w$j$ in the White House as assistant to the President are pBhibered. r^^^^^i^^^^ I What happened is that Adams failed to keep Mr. Eisenhower informed on the numerous protests against the nomina- aSh of Lyon. For example, two executives of the United Mihe Workers, in the absence from Washington of John L. pwis, wired objections to Lyon as far back as March 25. The telegram was ignored. Lewis, upon his return to Washington, Ken wrote the President a letter, explaining why Lyon would % an unsatisfactory appointment. He received a perfunctory Iply, signed byAdams. This is m keeping with Adams-' boast |at he permits "only one out of every thousand matters iirected to the President's attention to reach Mr. Eisenhower." The President really started to boil, according to intimates, men he learned the full story of Lyon's shortcomings from . ^|S$is ih person. This occurred when Lewis, along with Bernard "'-'ffiich and a handful of other prominent persons, was invited I a White House dinner. There the UMW chief, without Iterference from Adams, had the opportunity. to cite his psbhs for opposing the appointment. Sllllllllp ^ j On "the day President Eisenhower withdrew Lyon's name, I 'Washington newspaper borrowed the title of a best-seller Ir its headline: "A Lyon Is in the Street!" ;THE NEW YORK TICKER: Plain Citizen Harry S.
