the Justice Department told
him its established policy was
not to have the FBI run checks

insist on his request, he said
so he let the matter drop.

| Jenner Not CeltaiI,
He'll Ask Go-Ahead
On Gouzenko Data
BY the Associated Press

| Chairman Jenner of the Sen
ate Internal Security Subcom-
mittee said today he does not
know if he ever will seek Cana
dian permission to make public
testimony from Igor Gouzenko.
Mr.. Gouzenko is a former code
clerk in the Soviet Embassy in
Ottawa, given asylum by Cana
dian authorities in September,
1945. He furnished them with
evidence against Red spy ring
with contacts in this country.
Senator Jenner and Senator
McCarran, Democrat. of Nevada
went to Canada and secretly
questioned Mr.. Gouzenko on
January 4 under an arrange
ment. reluctantly accepted by
the subcommittee, giving the
Canadian government a veto
over publication Of any Of his
testimony.
Ask 33-WOrd Deletion.
Last week the Canadian press
reported that Canada was will
ing for Mr.. GouZenko's testi-
mony to be made public if the
subcommittee so requested. It
asked only that 33 words be
omitted. saying these involved
names of persons against whom
no charges would be proved.
Senator Jenner confirmed he
has not asked permission to
make the testimony public. add
ing he didn't know if he ever
would. In an interview, he gave
no reason.
Recently, Senator Jenner
related, the subcommittee re-
ceived the official Canadian
transcript of the interview,
relayed through the State De-
partment.
Transcript Being Checked.
Senator Jenner said Thurston
B. Morton, Assistant Secretary
Of State. told him he interpreted
an accompanying letter from the
Canadian government as grant,
ing permission to show Mr.. Gou-
zenko's testimony to the other
subcommittee members.
/ This has not yet been done,
however, Senator Jenner said,
adding that the official Canadian
transcript is being checked by
the subcommittee staff against
! the record made by its own
stenographer.
| When Senator Jenner and
Senator McCarran returned from
Canada, they did not say that
Mr.. Gouzenko had given them
any new names. They said,
however. he had given them
information that would be useful
in protecting this country's in
ternal security.
On several occasions the Ca
madam government has said it
passed on to United States Sc
curity authorities all information
on Soviet espionage activities
obtained from Mr.. Gouzenko.

on grounds they are elected by

Senator Hendrickson said the

ecutive and the legislative
branches of Government. and he
added: II think there is some
thing to be said for their view
