Third Mon in Spy Case
Lived Here for 2 Years

Harold Philby. accused In the
British House Of Commons today
as . third man" in the Burgess
Macleall spy case, was 3 first
secretary Of the British Embassy
In Washington from October,
1949, until the summer of 1851.
He was then recalled to London
and there resigned from the
British Foreign Service.
It is evident that his name
came UP early during the British
investigation OF the disappear
ar1ce of Guy Burgess and Dom
aid Maclean in May. 1851.
Both Mr.. Burgess and Mr.,
Philby were stationed at the
British Embassy here simul-
taneously. Mr.. Philby and his
family were living at 4100 Me-
braska avenue NV, according
10 State Department records.
The same records show that Mr.,
Burgess, who was here without
any family, moved in with the
Philips.
After MFR. Burgess returned to
London and then fed behind
the Iron Curtain. British In
vestigators presumably ques-
toned Mr.. Philby. It was be-
lieved that his recall from Lon
don and subsequent resignation
from the Foreign Service might

have had connection with the
Eurgess-MacLean case.
Presumably, however, British
authorities do not have evidence
warranting any criminal prose-
cution Of Mr.. Philby.
Mr.. Philby is said to have been
in the export import
business with Spain after his de-
Iparture from the Foreign Service.
He is no wreported to be living
In England.
Mr.. Philhy once served as q
correspondent for the London
Times. covering the Franco side
in the Spanish civil war. One
person who knew him at that
time described Mr.. Philby as be-
ing a strong supporter Of the
anti Communist Generalissimo
Franco.
If it is true that MIR. Philby
tipped OF Mr.. Burgess that he
was under investigation. the most
charitable Interpretation would
be that Mr.. Philb ythought that
Mr.. Burgess was being investi-
gated for too much drinking. Mr.
Burgess, however, got In touch
with a Soviet agent who arranged
for both Mr.. Burgess and Mr.,
jMacLean to Zee before they
could be arrested for spying for
the Soviet Union.

The Bureess-Maclean case also
flared up today In the House OF

Foreign Affairs, was questioned
closely about a statement he had
made on the case on October

Lord Reading had said that

ing contract examinations and
similar matters to all firms wish
ing to do business with the Navy.
Before today's session began,
the subcommittee came under
IRE from the top-ranking Re-
publican on the full COM
mittee. Representative Hoffman
of Michigan. He accused 1t
Of launching an investigation
merely to do some unnecessary
and unwarranted Monday
morning quarterbacking."
Sees Honest Mistake
Mr.. Hoffman, q member OF the
subcommittee, told reporters that
the Navy admitted having made
an honest mistake under difti-
cult conditions. He said 1t has
established improved procedures
for buying and testing. He there
fore saw no need for raking over
past inisfortunes. he declared.
Chairman Holifield, and most
of his colleagues on the subcom-
mittee. however. indicated they
are not at all clear about what
happened and where the respon-
sibility lay. The Californian en-
phasized that his group was
making no "instnuatiois" that
there had been fraud or official
improperly Of any kind.
Differences Revealed
Despite highly technical testi-
mony. the hearing yesterday dis
closed substantial differences OF
opinion between subcommittee
staff investigators and the Navy.
James r. Eckhart. the subcom-
mittee's assistant counsel. and
Earl J. Morgan, q staff investi-
gator. estimated that the project
involving manufacture Of F3H's
and the J-40 Jet engines cost the
taxpayers more than 5000 mil
lion.
The F3H project began In 1851
during the Korean fighting. The
contract for the engines was not
|ofilcially terminated until last
July. The Navy decided as long
ago as 1858. according to testi-
mony yesterday, to switch to
another type engine, the greater
powered J-7l, but continued to
make efforts until last year to
salvage what it could from the
J.40's. The Navy bought q total
OF 174 engines from Westing-
house.

The thieves left 23 cents in the

Mr.. Young said the thieves
would have to go to England or

there, the numbers would have
been circulated to banks and

payment and facilitating arrest.
He hopes the same process
will go on in this country If the

March, 1854, when one OF the
planes crashed near st. Louis,
subcommittee Chairman Holt
field, Democrat of California,
read into the record a dramatic
account Of q conversation be-
tween Comdr. Smith and anoth-
er plane nearby when the Jet
began to crack up.
Made Several Tests
The witness explained that he
made several tests of the planes
in question. He testified that he
and most Of the other test pilots
had no doubt that the plane it
self would be able to stand up
with any other jet plane that
had to go into combat"
AS for the engines, however.
he said he had worked with
many other jet types, but never
encountered so much trouble.
He nevertheless insisted that
he and his associates in the ex-
perimental work with the plane
and the engine learned o very
great deal" and obtained inval-
liable experience in the jet field.
Earlier the committee Ques-
toned Rear Admiral q. r.
Beardsley Of the Navy Bureau
of Aeronautics and w. M.
Crickenberger Of the Contracts
Termination Division in that
bureau. The subcommittee ques-
toned them particularly about
the manner in which the con-
tract with Westinghouse was
terminated.
Quizzed on Method
The witnesses explained that,
despite the company's failure to
make some deliveries on schedule,
the contract was not ended on a
default" basis against the firm.
At the request of the subcom-
mittee they said they would
search the Navy records to de-
termine whether anyone in the
bureau suggested termination Of
the contract in q, manner which
would not require payments by
the company to the Government.
The witnesses said they were
certain that no such suggestion
was made by anyone In the bu-
reau or by anyone at Westing-
house. but they would make a
further examination Of the
records.
At one point in the question
ing Chairman Holifield said he
and many other members Of
Congress had received COM
plants that the Navy gives more
favorable attention to large con-
tractors than to small firms.
Denies Discrimination
Assistant Secretary Of the Navy
Raymond H. Folger replied that
he personally devotes about IS
per cent of his time to the prob
lens Of small contractors doing
business with the Navy. He in
sisted that all contractors are
treated fairly. He added that
small contractors occasionally
encounter difficulties or delays
because they lack the legal STATS
large firms have.
