of Spy Stories.
BY the Associated Press.

ly INC AoD0ClAte0 EEe0B.
Chairman John Hamilton of the
Republican National Committee said
In . statement today that . Federal
agent who agreed to sell stories on
. spy ring investigation was "only
following the example set by Presi-
dent Roosevelt"
Leon @. Turrou resigned from the
FEDERAL Bureau of Investigation after
leading the spy hunt In New York
and contracted to write q series of
newspaper articles.
The Government began court action
to block publication Of the series,
contending 1t would interfere with
prosecution Of those indicted as men,
bers of the espionage band. Mr..
Roosevelt concurred yesterday in the
view that the articles should not be
published.
Aside from the grand jury aspects
Of the case" Mr.. Hamilton's state
ment said. Il see no difference what
ever between 1t and the sale by the
President Of commentaries on his pub
lie papers and messages"
Questions Prsprie4y.
However, the Republican chairman
said he seriously questioned" the
propriety Of Mr.. Turrou's action.
Discussing the Presidents writings,
Chairman Hamilton recalled that the
White House had announced the pro-
ceeds would be used for useful pub
lie purpose" He added:
III the President has not pocketed
the proceeds from syndication of his
writings. let him. now. state the use
full public purpose to which he has
contributed the money, including the
sum involved"

Gated the Army and Navy may in
tensify and expand their counter
espionage activities to prevent foreign
spies from getting vital military
secrets. Mr.. Roosevelt came out in
favor of more cash to detect and ap-
prehend spies.
The Chief Executive replied in the
Affirmative when asked whether recent
charges of spying in this country would
make 1t desirable to provide additional
funds for Army and Navy counter
espionage He expressed belief that
appropriations for Army and Navy in
telligence services had been held down
pretty low.
No Funds Earmarked.
Admiral William Leahy. chief of
naval operations, who called at the
White House. said later that mot very
much money" would be required to
give the Navy counter -espiona re
division able to perform efIicient work
Army and Navy ofncias asserted
both branches OF the service have in
telligence sections whose activities in
clude counter-espionage, but that no
funds are specifically earmarked for
the special work.
The Army's intelligence section this
year was given $50 900 in the War De-
partment's appropriation bill for "spe-
cial and miscellaneous contingent ex-
penses" and $ss, s,450 for running ex-
penses.
The Navy has a discretionary fund
