Old World War II temporary

There has been virtually no

Top officials from President

the unattractiveness of service
life and the alarming increase in

A former naval officer. who
was assigned to a wartime in
telligence unit in New York
City, testified today that infor-
nation it gathered on Com
munists was passed along to the
FBI "as fast as we received it."
William j. O'Hara, now
Mount Vernon. N. Y. lawyer,
was q witness before the Senate
Internal Security subcommittee,
which is looking into reports
that the intelligence units files
on Communists were destroyed.
Chairman Jenner has said
there was a White House order
in 1914 for their destruction.
Mr.. O'Hara's testimony was
the first suggestion that the in
formation was in any case pre-
served in FBI files.

Ex-Yeoman Testifies.
Before Mr.. O'Hara was called
an ex-Navy yeoman, John j.
Wendt. Of Brooklyn had testi-
fed that the unit had built up
cabinet drawers full of informa-
ton on Communists and Com
munist activities, mostly in the
New York area.
He said these files "disap-
peared" in June, 1914.
Senator Jenner said in adj
vance of the hearing that the
testimony was intended ito fit
only one piece into a vast jig
saw puzzle" Many other phases
remain to be explored, he added.

the subcommittee said the wit
