baltimore Pleads
Not Guilty, Is Freed
On Bond Of $1,000

Owen baltimore, former State
Department consultant, today
pleaded not guilty to perjury
charges when he was arraignec
before Chief Judge Bolitha j
Laws in the U. S. District Cour,
for the District of Columbia.
The judge set January 10 as a
tentative date for trial. Mr.. Lat
timore was released in $4,000
bond.
The defendant, on leave from
his teaching position at Johns
Hopkins University, was charged
with lying to a Senate Internal
Security subcommittee in 1852
when he denied he was ever q
follower of the Communist Party
line or promoter Of Communist
interests.
Another Indictment Pending.
The most recent indictment is
the second to be lodged against
Mr.. baltimore charging perjury
as a result of his Capitol Hill
testimony. Also hanging over
him is another indictment also
charging that he lied to the COM
mittee concerning five other mat
terS, none of which directly
linked him to communism.
Mr.. baltimore entered his plea
accompanied by his attorney,
Thurman Arnold. United States
Attorney Leo A. Rover repre-
sented the Government.
A colloquy ensued between the
two attorneys when Judge Laws
asked recommendations as to
possible trial date. "I don't think
it will ever go to trial. Perhaps
I'm biased" Mr.. Arnold smiled.
But Mr.. Rover advised that the
trial be held "some time after the
first of the year."
Jan. 10 Date Flexible.
Judge Laws, in fixing January
10 for trial on both indictments,
made clear that the date was set
as a matter of routine and was
not a certain one. sts
Counsel for both sides were
given 20 days to file motions.
Previously, Mr.. Arnold had indi-
Gated he would move for dis
miSsal of the indictment after
completing research into numer-
Gus writings of the defendant
which had been cited IN the
indictment as incriminating.
Mr. baltimore was accom-
panied by his wife at the pro-
ceedings. He had been free on
$4,000 bond following the first
indictment. Arrangements were
granted to have the same bond
cover the second case also.

CamaIier Disturbed
AT Rising Costs Of
D. {. Reorganization

Commissioner Renah F.. CANA
lier today blasted increasing pro-
fessiona1 fees under reorganiza-
ton of the District government.
He complained that "reorgani-
zation was supposed to save
money, but it seems to be costing
more all the time"
His comment came on a re-
quest by Robert F. CogSwell, head
of the new Department of Oceu-
pations and Professions, for an
increase of from 81 to 81 in an
nual renewal fees for doctors
licenses.
Postpone Appeals.
In other actions, the Commis-
sioners:
/. Postponed decisions on
three appeals from license revo-
cation orders filed by drivers who
say they need their permits to
make a living. Brig. Gen. Louis
w. Prentiss. the Engineer Com
missioner, warned such appeals
will increase in number and
cautioned the Commissioners
against overturning revocation
orders.
2. Approved a recommended
ton of the Citizens Advisory
Council that the District Re-
Mobilization Office, now a Fed
eral agency, be set up as a sep
arate 25th department when
transferred to the District gov
ernment in two weeks.
3. Heard representatives Of
the District Tobacco Distribu-
tors, Inc, ask for restoration of
the 10 per cent discount rate on
cigarette tax stamps, recently re-
duced to 6 per cent.
4. Decided to appeal to Paul
Himmelfarb, owner of the Penn
Bowling Recreation Center at
1907 Taylor street NV, to drop
his opposition to a plan by Hot
Shoppes, Inc, to construct 10
foot, chain link fence around
their commissary station at 1884
Upshur street NV. The COM
pany asked permission to stop
thefts of food products.
5. Ordered advertisements
placed for bids on a proposed
pre-release cottage at the Indus
trial Home School in Laurel, Md,
and on the proposed Anacostia
Branch Library.
Spencer Disagrees.
Commissioner Camalier's COM
plant about increasing fees for
professional licenses was count
cred by Commissioner Samuel
Spencer, who said some of the
professional boards recently in
corporated in the new Depart
ment of Professions and Occupa-
tions had been operating at a
deficit earlier and living of prior
surpluseS which have now dis
appeared.
MIR. Camalier complained then
that we've got a great big new
department built up and it's
running in the red. It ought
to be running in the black"
Both Mr.. Spencer and Schuy-
ler Lowe. director of general adj
ministration, contended that
there will be savings from q
Standardization Of procedures
and from Improvement in serv-
ices. The discussion was post
poned when Mr.. Spencer sug-
gested a later investigation of
the departments operations.
Approval Of plans to set up
the Vocational Rehabilitation
Office as an independent depart
ment was predicted Sunday in
The Star. Approving the poll
icy, the Commissioners postponed
issuance of q formal order which
would give the new agency q
name.

Petersen Freed,
Bond S1O,OO0;
u. 5. Protests
Federal Attorney
Says Defendant
Knows Vital Secrets

Joseph S. Petersen, jr., for
mer National Security Agency
scientist charged with improp-
erly obtaining secret documents
connected with the national de-
fense, was released from Alex
andria jail today in $4,000 bond.
The release Of the tall. be-
spectacled Arlington man was
granted by Federal Judge Al
bert v. Bryan over the vigorous
protest Of attorneys from the
Justice Departments Internal
Security Division.
In arguing for reduction Of
Mr.. Petersens bond from $685.
600. Attorney David 3. Kinney
said the defense knew nothing
more than was contained in the
information on which the SCI
enlist was arrested.
"The United States has not
seen fit to elaborate" he said.
"The United States has not even
seen fit to identify the country
that Mr. Petersen allegedly
turned information over to. 1t
could be anything from Africa
to Zanzibar"
Complaint Mentions "Intent."
FBI and Justice Department
officials have refused to say
whether they accuse Mr.. Peter
sen of actually passing secret
information to another country.
Mr.. Kinney's statement was the
first intimation that he. at least.
believes the Government has so
classified his client.
The complaint charges the
defendant with obtaining in
formation with intent or reason
to believe that the information
was to be used to the injury Of
the United States or to the ad-
vantage of a foreign nation"
In the courtroom today in ad-
dition to Mr.. Petersen were his
wife and brother William of New
Orleans. The brother told re-
porters the $4,000 cash bail was
raised by a brother, father and
friends in Louisiana, because
they all had faith in Mr.. Peter
sen.
Attorney John F. Reilly of the
Justice Departments internal
security division argued against
lowering of the bond.
Attorney Himself Rechecked.
This crime is just one step
short of treason" he said, HE
(Mr. Petersen) was charged with
some of the most sensitive in
telligence information in our
country"
The matter was so sensitive,
the attorney went on, that 1t
was necessary for him (Mr.
Reilly to be recleared to work
on the case.
There is no way we can accu-
rately appraise the damage these
acts have done to our national
security" Mr.. Reilly said.
He emphasized that although
Mr.. Petersen had been removed
from his Arlington Hills job since
October /, he had been exposed
for many years to sensitive
secrets. and that merely dis
missing him could not block
them out of his mind or prevent
their causing harm to the coun-
try.
Judge Bryan asked if he
thought the defendant could
continue the ,offense with which
he is charged.
"To the extent that he has
knowledge of the inner workings
of NSA and would have less
opportunity to divulge what he
knows if he were in JAIL" Mr..
Reilly answered.
Bail as Punishment DisaIlowed.
Judge Bryan said bail was
only to guarantee reappearance
in court. He said bail could not
be used to punish a defendant
in advance.
However, he agreed that the
United States Commissioner who
originally fixed the higher bond
did the right thing in view Of the
information before him when Mr..
Petersen was arrested last Satur-
day.
