The director of the Chinese Ma

million between 1946-49 to in

H. P. Tseng. director of the
government-controlled agency, de-

Before 1949, the Chinese agency
maintained a staff of 10 men in
the United States with offices in

Francisco, he said. Since then the
San Francisco Office has been
eliminated and the staff cut to
five men.

Case Of Missing Men
May Cause Custer
OF Intelligence Chief
By WiIliom H Stonemon
Foreign Correspondent Of The Star and
the Chicago Dolly News

LONDON, June "a big shake
up in the British counterintelli-
gence service and one or two good
witchhunts are expected to follow
the disappearance of Donald Mac
Lean and Guy Burgess, Foreign
Office officials now missing for Is
days.
The London Daily Express re-
ported this morning that Sir
Percy Sillitoe, chief of MI-5-
official title of the counterintelli-
gence service-might be one of
those to go.
Even MISS great wartime rec
ord, 1t is commonly admitted,
can't stand some of the terrible
slipups it has made in the cases
of DR.. Alan Num- May, DR.. Klaus
Fuchs and Prof. Bruno Ponte-
corvo.
1t is also thought that the
shakeup may extend to the For
eign Office or at least to those
who were responsible for giving
important positions to the two
missing men.
While MacLean, 38, was widely
liked and highly regarded, he was
made head of the American de-
partment of the Foreign Office
after he had had a serious nervous
breakdown while serving in Cairo.
Burgess, 40, was allowed to con-
tinue at the Foreign Office after a
series of scandalous scrapes which
would have meant instant dismiS-
sal for anybody holding a decent
job in a reputable British business
firm.
Irrespective of whether they are
off on a lark" have jumped the
fence or are engaged in some cock
eyed Hess mission" to Russia, it
lis clear that both officials are un-
steady in the purest British sense
Iof the term.
They have also been spending a
surprising amount of time in night
clubs, for responsible British Off
Icials, and their superiors or MIS-
must have known it.
