White House Names
Group 10 Aid Ageneie!
On News Security
BY The Assoeioted Press

A nine-man committee was set
up yesterday to assist and advise
Federal agencies in carrying out
President Truman's order on news
security.
Edward r. Trapneh, of the
Atomic Energy Commission, was
named as full-time executive
secretary of the committee.
The White House said the new
group will be concerned equally
with seeing that security. news is
withheld from potential enemies,
and, in Mr.. Truman's words, in
suring that the order is not used to
withhold non-security informa-
ton or to cover up mistakes"
The Presidential security order
was issued September Is, and al
most Immediately drew fire from
editors throughout the country.
It provided for Tightening and
standardizing the handling of in
formation by Civilian Branches of
the Government, and ordered
them to withhold any information
they decide would be a risk to
national security.
Denies Censorship.
The President said the order
would not be used to stifle the flow
of news to the public. He added
that there was mo element of CEN
sorship, either direct or implied" "
Ever since the order, civilian
agencies handling matters affect
ing the defense program have had
to classify certain material as "se-
|curity information" and give it
one of four additional labels: top
secret, secret, confidential, or re-
stricted. NJ
The State and Defense depart
|ments have long used security
|classif1cations for information of
vital interest to the Nation that
had to be kept secret.
The executive order did. not at
tempt to define what information
should be classified. That is left
to the heads of the different de-
partments and agencies.
Protested L00seneSs.
It was just this lack of defini-
ton that kicked of the early pro-
tests from editors.

After announcing they had SUBJ

(Cocky) Ware-the
committee members last night
made final preparation for hear
ing suggestive of last years ses-
sions before the Kefauver Crime
Committee.
In his weekly radio broadcast
last night, Commissioner F. Joseph
Donohue said District citizens
would not countenance a police
mans acceptance of gratuities for
the purpose of influencing the
officers conduct and said the Sem
ate committee could render the
city an immeaSurable service if it
uncovers any such violations Of
the law.
If the probers find no derelic-
tions among the police, he said
the department should get a COM
mendation.
The Commissioner said the
crime investigation is untinged
by politics and he hopes political
consideration will not creep in
later.
He said he would favor cutting
off the retirement pay of any re-
tired policeman who refuses to
answer Senate probe questions on
grounds of possible self-incrimina-
ton. Mr.. Donohue explained he
would vote to do Just that if the
law permits.
Some criticism directed at the
investigating staff is based on
allegations that several prospec-
tive witnesses were mistreated by
staff members. The accusations
were denied categorically by Com
! mittee Counsel Arnold Bauman.
He said the staff has followed
methods approved by District At
'torneys in questioning all persons.

had received no information lead

gators mistreated any of those
questioned.
