 NEW YORK - President-elect
Richard M. Nixons search for a
Democrat to be U.S. representa-
tive to the United Nations in his
administration has . turned to
Sargent Shriver, who is consid-
ering taking the position, in-formed sources&#39;saidtoday.:  V
,Shriver,* a brother-in~law of
the late President Kennedy and
current U.S. ambassador to
France, met with Nixon for
nearly two hours here Sunday
evening and consulted members
of the Kennedy family in,Wash-
- iington and elsewhere yesterday.
A source indicated that Shriv-
er was having difficulty making
up his mind whether or not to
accept Nixons offer and that he
returned to Paris yesterday
without having reached adeci-
sion on taking the U.N. post. 11 &#39;
On} his "arrival in Paris,
Shriver was asked about the
U.N. post. He said that any
report on what he and Nixon
discussed would have to come
from Nixon.» . "1

Meanwhile, the President-elect
, conferred _yesterday with two
< men figuring in speculation as
.possible members-of his Cabi-

~ mer secretary of the treasury in
1 the Eisenhower administration,
and William McChesney i92~&#39;lart&#39;m
Jr., chairman of the Federal Re-
. serve Board. » _
. p Martin took himself" out of
, isuch speculation immediately
;after his conference with Nixon., !He &#39; told&#39; ne.wsmen the
President-elect had asked him to
. serve out the remainder of his
i term as Federal Reserve chair-
. man-; that expires on Jan. 31,
&#39; - While noticompletely commit-
ting himself to stay on till his
;term- ends, Martin said: I
-g-agreed I wanted to do every-
&#39;thing possible to help Mr. Nixon
. in _the-difficult-days which he
has ahead of him. 4
Anderson hlystcry _
Anderson, who also has served
as secretary of the navy and
undersecretarypf defense and
more recently served President
Johnson as a special negotiator
about Canal Zone problems with
Panama, evaded reporters after
this visit with Nixon. .
 Ziegler would not comment
about Andersozrs visit, telling
-newsmen oniy that it was -pri-lation that he might be included
in -the Nixon Cabinetpossibly
. as secretary of state. - &#39;
C. Douglas Dillon, who was
undersecretary of state in the
Eisenhower administration and
secretary of the treasury under
President Kennedy, had been
-prominently mentioned as a like-
ly secretary of state in the Nix-
on cabinet. ~ _
But Dillon seemed to take
himself out of the running at a
Lincoln Center luncheon yester-
day when he said he had had no
contact with Nixon since his
electioniand there had been no
discussion of_a job for him in the
Nixon administration, either
personally or through=intern_iedi-aries. ~ ~ - -
New! York Mayor John Lind-
say, who conferred with Nixon
late yesterday, said they dis-
cussed problems of New York
and cities generallybut no job
offer.
. Martin Encouraged
Martin said he called on the
&#39;President~elect at the lat_ters re-
p,ne.st..-te.~brief him on the domes-
tic fiscal situation and interna-
tional monetary problems.
_The Federal Reserve Board
chairman said he believed budg-
et deficits since 1965 had stimu-
lated an inationary psychology
in the country that is still domi-
nant. . . &#39; _ p
&#39; But he indicated he was en-
couraged by a~ trend now toward
a balanced budget. He said he
e x p e c t e d an administrative
budget deficit for_ the current
fiscal year of $5 billion or less,
which could have amounted to
$25 billion if the 10.-percent in-
come tax and expenditures re-
duction bill had not been passed
by Congress earlier this year. 
Official estimates now are in
terms  of the new unified
budget, including expenditures
and receipts of trust funds such
as social security. The latest es-N
timates are that the unified
budget deficit for the current
fiscal year may be about $3 bil-
lion, possibly less.- » ~

bring inflation under controlis
to restore confidence, that gov-

policies will provide the disci-{ -.._ w-v¢7Y": vatei? _M_M_ &#39;  -

The game of investigate the
nvestigators, complete with a
hugged" conference room,
screams of horror, a spontane-
ms" statement of startled in-
iignation carefully read from a
iyped paper, pilfered records, -
zhese and many other strange
incidents were ingredients of
;his weeks chapter of the Ber-
nard Goldne-Sherman Adams
inquiry.
The Harris Committee inves-
zigation of inuence in govern-
ment turned into a multi-ring
performance that slipped so far
out of control that the probers
were forced into an all-day ses-
sion to pick up the pieces. Wash-
ington police and the FBI came
into the case. Goldne was ex-
cused from testifying on the
appointed day. The Boston mil-
lionaire and free-s p e n d e r
pleaded that he was too tired
and excited to do so: he had
reason to be because he had been
up most of the night, expressing
his indignation. When last pho-
tographed in the early hours of
Monday morning he hadnt had
time to change from his gold-
threaded robe and pajamas into
a testifying suit. &#39; -
Newsnien in the Cast
Newsmen functioned as ex-
tras in the production that saw
the Capital rivaling Hollywood
with all the trappings, the cast,
and the scenarios to produce a
full season&#39;s fare of mystery,
intrigue, and comedy. The rapid-
ly shifting panaroma picked up
a newspaper reporter and a
House committee investigator in
the act of bugging a room
occupied by Goldnes new pub-
lic relations counsel.
Jack Lotto, former newspa-
perman employed by Goldne,
Succeeded Tex McCrary, New
York public relations man who
Put the show on the road with
Goldnes prepared statement to
the committee. Then McCrary
retired, explaining he had been

EDITOR 84 PUBLISHERExit McCrary,E11ter Lotto, with ,
Pearson in Wings with a Bug i
year job. But the reporter, Jack
Anderson, whose room in the
Sheraton-Carlton Hotel was be-
ing used to eavesdrop on Lotto
and his conferees fared better.
His employer", Columnist Drew
Pearson, pulled the nifty of the
week,by parroting now-famouslines: 
He has been iniprudent. ButI need him. - &#39;  i S
Pearson elaborated in his col-
umn: Anderson was on deck as
any good police reporter is at
the scene of action. . . . The
chief thing Anderson ascer-
tained was that Goldnes co-
hortshad done some pretty good
sleuthing by getting a copy of
the preliminary Harris Subcom-
mittee report on Sherman
Adams_wire pulling at the Fed-
eral Trade Commission." ~
The column then went on to
relate revelations said to be in
the report. _
_ Midnight Call
Lotto began earning his re-
tainer V soon after reaching
Washington. Sunday night he
called newsmen, summoning
them for a 12:30 a.m. press con-
ference. Upon arrival they were
told by Lotto and Attorney Robb
that a former Washington po-
liceman, Lloyd B. Furr, had un-
dertaken to discover whether
Lottos room was bugged by
hostile interests.
From that point on, the drama
unfolded without hitch: Furr
solemnly announced that the
room was, indeed, bugged.
Then another member of the
party noted that the door lead-
ing to the next space was raised
an inchoft the floor, and that
a mans shoes could be observed
pacing the floor. This was .Furrs
cue to grab a handy wire coat
hanger, sprawl on the oor and
begin shing under the door.
With a jerk, he pulled the small
microphone into Lottos room,
whereupon Bea Duprey, a model
who carries the title of Gold-
nes press receptionist, made
her entry, glanced at the micro-
phone, and emitted a dramatic
scream. - &#39; _

trance. With the help of an as-
sistant manager, he .gained-ad-
mission and with the troupe of
reporters and camera men tak-
ing up the rear he confronted
Shacklette and Anderson. Shack-
lette said his mission was to
nd who has been tappingthe
telephones of committee mem-
bers and had acceptedthe hos-
pitality of Anderson, registered
as Mr. Brooks. Police eventu-
ally arrived, responsive to calls
from one of Lottos entourage;
They patiently explained there
was no criminal law violation,
hence no police action was in-dicatcd. &#39;
Next Set
The cameras then moved -to
the next set, which was the cor-
ridor-in front of Goldne&#39;s door.
Goldne came to the door and,
glancing at a piece of paper,
proclaimed his indignation, say-
ing: This is worse than Rus-
sia and worse than the Gestapo.
I&#39;m shocked beyond words. I
intend to move out of the hotel
in the morning.
The next installment came
when Miss Mildred Paperman,
"Goldnes secretary, reported
her room had been ried over
the week-end in her absence
from Washington and that pa-
pers her boss intended to pre-
sent to the Harris Committee
in response to its demand, were
missing. An 11:30 a.m. press
conference was called to. an-
nounce this development. Miss
Paperman knelt and opened
bags and bundles obliginglywhile camera shutters clicked. l
A reporter suggested Goldne
might be happy to get rid of
some of the papers and Lotto re-
plied heatedly: Pm not even
going to answer that!" g
Thank you, Mr. Hagerty,"
the reporter quippcd.
The police returned with n-
gerprint experts and detectives
who promptly went into their
oicial routine. Since papers des-
tined to a Congressional com-
mittee were said to be involved,
the FBI also sent men.

I guess he knew me mostly
from my jobs as an investiga-
tive reporter," Lotto, who is 37,
reasoned.
Better to acquaint the press
with him, Lotto distributed rc-
prints from the Dec. 2&#39;2, 1956
edition of Eorron st PUBLISHER
in which his exploits, some of
them resulting in journalism
prizes, were detailed.
One of the incidents in which
he expressed pride was partici-
pation in bugging a room oc-
cupied by Richard M. Nixon,
then a U. S. Senator. Nixon had
brought together for face-to-
face confrontation, Whittaker
Chambers and Alger Hiss. A

trick, Lotto related. &#39;
