The possibility arose today
that Warren L. Stephenson, So
cialite Republican who leaked
confidential information to a
California manufacturer. still is
authorized to obtain top secret
information from the Pentagon.
In 1850, the Pentagon cleared
Mr.. Stephenson to receive top
secret procurement plans Of the
Army, Navy and Air Force. This
was necessary so that Mr.. Ste
phenSon. as the representative Of
manufacturers, could advise his
clients on what bids to submit.
A House Armed Services sub
committee yesterday released
secret testimony in which Mr..
Stephenson admitted that he
was indiscreet in relaying in
formation about bids on Navy
rocket launchers to a firm which
he did not represent, Century
Engineers, Inc, of Burbank,
Calf.
Today, the Pentagon said only
that Mr.. Stephenson was cleared
in 1850. The Pentagon could
give no further word on whether
Mr.. Stephenson still is entitled
to receive top secret material
One officer added, however. that
ordinarily security clearance is
an administrative matter, and
that the Pentagon need not be

Hurricane SwerVes,
Due 10 Miss Florida
BY the Associated Press

MIAMI, Fla, Sept. 10. "A
tropical hurricane shaped like a
huge amphitheater, with 100
mile -an-hour winds on the stage,
changed course slightly today,
lessening the danger to the
Bahamas and Florida.
Hurricane Dolly was pinpointed
about 61O miles little south of
east from Miami in the noon
advisory, moving at about 10 to
IL miles per hour.
Grady Norton, chief storm
forecaster at the Miami Weather
Bureau, said that IF the hurri-
cane continued on its present
course it would not touch the
Florida mainland"
Mr.. Norton emphasized the
eff" and pointed out the storm
was still in the formative stage
and conditions might change in
a few hours.
He said an Air Force plane
from Bermuda penetrated this
seasons fourth tropical storm
and reported it was crescent
shaped, like a huge amphitheater,
with the north and east sides
containing 100 mile = per hour
winds and the south and west
still open.
Mr.. Norton said the fact that
the storm had not formed a COM
plete circle around the eye was
the reason for the various posi-
tionS reported in the last "a

u. ). Considering
Resuming Relations
With Red Bulgaria
Cautious Study Given
To Premier's Speech
Interpreted as Bid

The State Department eau
tiously limited today it is con-
Sidering the possibility of re-
Suming diplomatic relations with
Communist Bulgaria.
The department said it "has
noted with interest" a speech
Tuesday by Bulgarian Premier
Vulko Chervenkov in which he
said in effect that resumption OF
relations might be in order.
The United States broke off
relations with Bulgaria on Feb
ruary 20, 1850. after the Com
munist government there &C
cuSed American Minister Donald
Heath of spying and demanded
his recall as persona non grata.
The department. today spoke
of the<19 action as a ''Suspen-
sion" of relations.
The departments statement
today said it would not serve
any useful purpose" to review
now the Bulgarian actions lead
ing to that suspension.
Indications were that top Off
cials have not made up their
minds whether or not to take
seriously the Chervenkov speech
as bid for negotiations that
might lead to resuming diplo-
matte relations with Bulgaria.
1t was clear, however, that the
matter is being studied.

Reverses Conviction

Who Criticized Judge
BY Alex R. Preston
Stor Staff Correspondent

STAUNTON. Va, Sept. TO-
The Virginia Supreme Court Of
Appeals today reversed and dis.
missed conviction of an Ar
lington pastor for contempt Of
court growing out of a sermon in
church.
The case of the Rev. Ross
Allen Weston of the Unitarian
Church, who criticized a circuit
court judges decision in another
suit, had been appealed on the
grounds that the conviction
violated the basic guarantees of
freedom of speech and freedom
of the press.
"The language spoken may be
on the borderline," the high court
said. but we cannot say that
beyond a reasonable doubt 1t
oversteps the line and meets the
essential requirements of the
statute and constitutes con-
tempt"
County Taxes Upheld.
Among other unanimous opin-
ions, the court affirmed decisions
in the Arlington Circuit Court
upholding the county's automo-
bile license tax and its business
and professional tax. These
suits. by John Locke Green. in
behalf of another attorney, Miles
Spence Bray, involve taxes bring
ing in more than 81 million an

In still another decision, the

The plaitiffs were Albert j.
Ciaffone, William L. Sugg and

The American Newspaper Pub
fishers Association had inter-
vened to support Mr.. Weston'S
contention that the 1St and 14th
amendments to the Constitution
guaranteed his righ to speak and
publish his statements.
The Supreme Court said, I'VE

ment that because of the con-

Punishment Termed Improper.
One of the contentious of the
newspaper publishers and Mr..
Weston had been that summary
punishment for contempt was
the improper remedy and that
the judge offended should have
invoked the libel and slander
laws.

Fort Eustis Worker,
Indicted in June, 81,
Is Finally Suspended
Army Fails to Explain
Delay in Acting Against
FroeoIo, So, 500 Man
BY the Associated Press

The Army today suspended
Louis Fragala, an $8,50O-a-year
engineering supervisor at Fort
EustiS; Va. who was indicted
over IA months ago for perjury
and conspiracy to defraud the
Government.
The announcement said Fra
gala was suspended because Of
the indictment but gave no rea-
son why he was kept on the
payroll for so long after it was
returned by a Federal grand jury
at Brooklyn, N. Y, on June 80,
1852.
1t was emphasized that Fra
gala was suspended because lit
is considered to be in the best
interest of the Government -
and not for security reasons.
The Army said that, since his
indictment, action has been
taken to bar Fragala from get
ting secret and top secret in
formation for which he was
once cleared.
Exposed by Newspaper.
The Baltimore Sun published
a story September l to the effect
that Fragala was still on the
payroll and cleared for secret
information despite his indict-
ment.
The case attracted attention
of congressional investigating
groups and some lawmakers
asked if Fragala was a proper
person to have access to secret
information.
The Army said he was not
seeing secret information al
though cleared for it.
Chairman Short of the House
Armed Services Committee asked
an explanation from the Army
of why Fragala continued to be
employed.
Named in "Kickback" Case.
The actions alleged against
Fragala in the indictment date
back to 1945 and 1916. The Gov
ernment charged that he and
several other civilians and for
mer Army officers misappro-
priated nearly 100000. They
were accused of getting "kick-
backs" for approving contracts
for Army technical manuals.
Fragala was then employed in
New York and Brooklyn.
The Justice Department has
said the case is to go to trial this
fall. No definite trial date has
been set.
Fragala has been a civilian
employe of the Army since 1886,
with the Quartermaster Corps
and the Transportation Corps.

KeyMon in 4 Per Cent Inquiry
May Still Get Defense Secrets
Stephenson Status Appears Unchanged
Since Pentoqon Clearance in so

ruled by information uncovered
by Congress.
The Federal Bureau of Inves-
tigation, the General Accounting
Office and Naval Intelligence all
pressed Investigations into the
leakage of information which
Mr.. Stephenson tried to use to
make a 4 per cent deal with
Century.
Mr.. Stephenson told Century
that he knew what bids had been
submitted on Navy rocket laun-
chers, and that he could advise
Century how much to lower its
bid to get more business. He Of
fered to do this for a salary OF
$4,000 per month or a commits
sion of 4 per cent on all busi-
ness that Century obtained over
about one-fourth of the total
business.
Century turned down the Of
fer, and reported the leakage OF
bid information to the Navy.
Navy records showed today
that Century wound up with
more than one-third of the
orders for building the plastic
rocket launcherS. Orders Of
$1,820,747 went to Century In
dustries (the production firm
connected with Century Engi-
neers); $1,692.000 to Spray Con

feels the presence of more uni
formed men on the street also
would serve as a deterrent to
juvenile delinquency problems.
The estimated cost of adding
222 privates to the force would
be $865. 300, plus SGT $50 for their
uniforms and equipment.
In addition, the department
asks eight motorcycle privates to
strengthen the coverage of park
ing in metered spaces. They
would be paid out of the Motor
Vehicle Parking Fund, which. it
has estimated, loses about SAL
$50 year through illegal park
ing in these spaces.
The 176 civilian crossing
guards would bring their num-
ber to 200 to provide coverage
for school crossings. The services
of the additional 176 would cost
$158, 400, plus 1880 for uni
forms and equipment.
The department wants $500, 900
to put up a new woman's bureau
in the 1000 block of North
Capitol street. The present
building at 1924 Fifth street
NV. was built in 1885, is in poor
condition and is unsuitable, the
department said.
$4,000 for Improvements.
A $4,000 items for improve
mentS to eight station houses
and grounds would provide a
start on a five-year program to
put the buildings in shape for
another Is to 20 years use.
The District Architects Office
has estimated that $150.000 is
needed to restore the buildings,
which would cost STA million to
replace.
A $55,000 equipment item Is
included for use in the Depart
ment of Vehicles and Traffic in
connection with the transfer of
traffic records for establishment
of a central file of motor. vehicle
drivers. The requested fund
would be the police departments
share in the operation.
The estimate for radio equip
ment includes $500 for appar-
atus to protect the department
against discontinuance of radio
broadcast in case of telephone or
electric power failure. The de-
partment has an auxiliary plant
at No. 10 Precinct, but head
quarters is not now protected
against such interruption.

under the estimate. This includes
$4,000 to provide badges for

some members of Congress as a

How the request will fare with

There now are 200 vacancies

the department said:
"The need for a more ade-
quate patrol force becomes even
more obvious during the fiscal
year 1853 when. while this de-
