On Political Views Of
Two Missing Diplomats
BY The Assoeietsd Press

LONDON, June 11.-Foreign
Secretary Morrison sidestepped
questions in the House Of Com
mons today on the political views
of Britain's pair of vanished dip
lomats.
A query whether there was
widespread sexual perversion in
the Foreign Office entered the
discussion when member asked
Mr.. Morrison to investigate such
charges.
Facing a barrage of critical
queries Mr.. Morrison parried a
demand to state whether Donald
MacLean, 38. and GUY Burgess
40, had any connection with the
Soviet Union or whether Burgess
had Communist associations.
Pair Missing Two Weeks.
The two men have been missing
on the continent of Europe more
than two weeks. MacLean has
been head of the Foreign Office
American department, and Bur-
CESS has been an executive officer
in Britain's Washington embassy
Both possessed confidential infor-
nation on, British-American rela-
tions. Agents are securing Europe
for them.
II have no evidence that these
men took documents with them. ~
Mr.. Morrison told the House.
The question of documents has
been a source of anxiety because
of the speculation that one OF
both of the men may have gone
to an iron curtain country.
Mr.. Morrison conceded that at
least three days elapsed before the
disappearance of the two caused
alarm. He said the last place
they were known to have reached
was st. Malo. France, May 26, the
day after they slipped out of Eng
land. He added that the fact
they had left the country was not
definitely established until May %.

The statement from the social

from the Juvenile Court Advisory
Committee announcing it's plans
to dissolve. The advisory group
coupled its resignation statement
with criticism Of the courts pres
ent philosophy.
The advisory committee put it
up to the community whether Ju-

it did in the past and as Juvenile
Courts do throughout the country
or whether the problems of WASH
ington children are to be handled
from "a severely and narrowly

problems of court personnel under
the present administration and
Judge Cockrill's secrecy order
