 Washington, Aug. 31-(UP)-The Army Pearl Harbor Boards recom- mendation that the United States should have an intelligence service second to none placed the question of the future of the Office of Stra- tegic Services directly before the Congress and the country.
 The OSS, outgrowth in 1922 of the Office of the Coordination of information established the year before, became the first foreign secret service this country ever had. Throughout the war it operated with the utmost secrecy so the pub lie has little idea how it functioned.
 Coordinating Organization It coordinated information gath cred by all government agencies Army and Navy Intelligence and the State, Treasury, Commerce and Justice Departments.
 Clandestinely it contacted under ground clements in enemy and oc- cupied countries to arrange deliv- cry of supplies to underground forces, exchange of information, coordination of efforts and rescue of Allied fliers and prisoners. More than 5000 American flyers were thus rescued from behind eTl- emy lines.
 It organized and supplied resist ance organizations, helped pave the way for the North African landings and negotiated for the surrender of German forces in Italy.
 Since it is a wartime agency, OSS is now planning to go out of busi- ness early in 1946. It has already subitted plan of liquidation. Maj. Gen. William J. (Wild Bib Dono- van, its creator and head, is plan- ming to return to private law practice.
 Urge Continuance But he and many of the experts | he linked with the organization technological, economic, financial and psychological-who know what has been accomplished, believe the countrys interest requires that a peacetime agency performing com parable functions is vital to the fu- ture of the country and the dis charge of the country's obligations as a leading power.
 Donovan feels such an agency is essential to perform two prime
