State Intelligence Unit
| Fund Killed in House
On Pro Red Complaint
BY the Associated Press

Members reported today a House
Appropriations Subcommittee has
voted down budget request of ap-
proximately $4,000 900 for an intelli-
gence unit in the State Department.
Committee members also told re-
porters they have agreed to cut
from about $19,0O0,000 to $4,000, 900
the departments request for funds
for expanding its cultural relations
program from a Western hemisphere
and Far Eastern to wide basis
Both actions are subject to full
committee review before the bill
appropriating for the fiscal year be-
ginning July comes to the House
floor next Tuesday. Both are likely
to cause sharp fights both in the
committee and in the House.
Denial of funds for the intelli-
gence unit, committee members
said, resulted from an investigation
by the House Military Affairs Com
mittee which precipitated a con-
trovery between the military group
and Alfred Mccormack, special as
siStant to the Secretary of State in
charge of intelligence and research.
The Military Committee made
what it called representations to
the State Department demanding
the removal from intelligence work
Of unidentified personnel it said has
'pro-Soviet leanings."
Mr.. Mccormack, formerly con-
nected with Army intelligence, re-
piled that the committees suspicious
and claims were unfounded and de-
manded hearing for himself and
a group of Army officers whom, he
said, the committee had in mind
The committee refused his request.
Legislation giving legal status to
wide cultural relations pro-
gram has been approved by the
House Foreign Affairs Committee,
but it has been sidetracked by the
Rules Committee In the absence
of specific legislation any appropria-
tions would encounter parliamentary
objections IN the House This was
a factor in the Appropriations Sub
committee vote to slash the fund
requested.

MOSCOW, April 5.-Izvestia said

That American troops do not in

Army Brass Inquiry
Recessed ) Weeks 10.
Prepare Final Report

The special War Department board
named to investigate injustices un-
der the Army's so-ca1led "caste sys-
tenn began three-week recess to-
day to assemble data and prepare a
final report to the Secretary of War,
following completion of testimony.
1t. Gen. James H. Doolittle, board
chairman, told press conference
yesterday afternoon that, while the
SIX members are in general accord
now as to the character OF the re-
port, they may not be when the final
draft is submitted in mid-May. In
that case, he said, minority report
will be added.
He said that while disposition of
the report would be solely in the
hands of Secretary Patterson, he
hoped the 5000 to 5000 word docu-
ment would be made available to the
press.
Process Of Sampling.
Given the job of assembling the
voluminous material, including the
statements of 40 witnesses and 600
letters, was Maj. Wilson r. c..
Bender, board recorder on loan from
the War Department. Gen. Doolittle
described Maj. Bender as a doctor
of philosophy with an Army entree
who lis entirely divorced from Army
pressure" He likened the recorders
job to that of affiXing leaves and
tWigS to composite tree generally
designed by the board members.
The general said, by a process of
sampling, the board had sought a
cross-Section of opinion from 12,-
100000 men and women who served
in the Army. OF the 40 interviewed,
% were enlisted men, IA were
officers, one was war correspondent
and one member of Congress, Rep
resentative Rogers Republican, of
Massachusetts,
Also represented at hearings the
past weeks were the Women's Army
Corps, the Army Nurse Corps,
various veterans organizations
Gems. Eisenhower and Spaatz also
teStlned.
Diversity of Opinion.
THE thing that amazed us was
the diversity of opinion" said Gen.
Doolittle. The testimony became
highly repetitious toward the end.
1t varied from everything is wrong
to nothing is wrong"
Gen. Doolittle intimated no fur
ther testimony would be taken when
the board reconvenes in three weeks
unless the members disagree on
some point which could be resolved
by inviting additional witnesses.
However, he said, the board will still
welcome letters, especially those
which suggest methods of improve
ment.
The general said he felt "a great
deal of good can come out of the
findings of the board, and I hope
that it does.
This depends on the soundness
of the report and the soundness of
any action taken in consequence,
he added.
