He was asked what the OSI

I'VE co-ordinated the whole

Chairman Moss asked how
iOSI got into the act. in view of
the fact that the Department
of State was exercising a his
toric function in negotiating
with a foreign power. Was the
matter referred to him by State?
he asked Mr.. Seago.
Mr.. Seago said he thought 1t
was.
Sure of Usefulness
Mr.. Seago gave as an example
of another benefit the title of
a publication from Budapest.
He couldn't prounce the word,
nor did he know what he meant,
but he said he was sure the
document was useful because
someone had asked for it,.
Representative Moss asked him
for a list of publications obtained
and an evaluation of them.
Representative Meader, said II
seemed to him that there should
be, after a year of operation, q
bill OF particulars of results and
benefits achieved by the ex-
change.
1t was then that Mr.. Seagc
revealed that he makes a pro.
gress report to the international
section of the internal security
division of the Department OF
Commerce. He himself stamps
/ it confidential" which mean,
it is a secret.
Chairman Moss said he
thought a document which bore
on the economy and efficiency Of
the operation was not a matter
of national security.

The agency was created under a
classified directive from the Ma

Failed Completely"
Representative Moss, chairman
of a House Government Opera
tions Subcommittee looking into
the availability of information
from Federal departments and

full day Of hearings, II think the
director Of the OSI failed COM
pletely to define for the commit

He added that he was almost
certain" that the classification
of the progress reports is an
abuse of the classification priv

Of the National Security Council
directive is probably more of
the same.
Committee members spent
most Of the day expressing be-
wilderment and doubt as to OSI's
duties and usefulness.
Mr.. Seago emphasized that the
Office does not exercise censor

tacCeQ CHAIRMAN Murray OF the
House Civil Service Committee
While Senate approval of the
Johnston retirement measure is
expected. the bills fate depends
on what the House will do.
The measure first would have
to be the subject of hearings by
the House Civil Service Commit
tee. Chairman Murray has in
Dictated that hearings will be
held after his committee dis
poses of the postal rate increase
bill later this month.
The Johnston bill may be
modified somewhat in the House
committee. However, employe
groups are not so concerned
about this. They feel that. SO
long as the House committee
acts, this will bring the measure
to the House floor for certain
approval. Then the final draft
could be worked out in House
Senate conference. That's why
the House leadership's attitude
on the bill has heartened en-
ploye leaders.
SECURITY SUSPENSIONS
Indications are that Congress will
grant the request of Attorney
General Brownell that accused
security risks be permitted to
keep working for the Govern
ment while their cases are heard
and decided.
Chairman Celler of the House
Judiciary Committee said:

their jobs without pay. If the
employe fights the charges, the
suspension continues while he

Mr.. Brownell said a 1850 law

"Colored people would like to

ZION IN teQeral court IN Blrmlng-
ham to require the university to
allow her return. 1t is set for
hearing February 90.
The petitions in circulation to-
day, the Tuscaloosa News says
were drawn up by a previous
lily unorganized student-faculty
group.
The univerSity's Board of Trus-
tees excluded Miss Lucy from
class as a safety measure. In
her court petition. she charged
the rioting was a Clever strate-
gem" to get her out of school.
The university is appealing to
the United States Supreme
Court a lower court order pro-
hibiting the school from barring
any student because of race or
color. That appeal does not de-
lay action in Birmingham on the
request for an order from the
Federal Court to require Miss
Lucy'S immediate restoration to
classes.
Text of Petition
The petition in circulation
reads:
I'VE. the undersigned, believe
in law as well as order. Regard
less of our views on indignation,
we are united in believing that
the reputation of the university
as a law-abiding institution must
be restored.
Accordingly. it seems neces-
sary that the exclusion of Miss
Autherine Lucy from classes
which resulted from mob vio-
lence should be terminated.
While such a course would
reflect the principles of justice
and humanity. it is all the more
necessary to protect the univer-
sity against the loss of prestige
which the success of mob rule
makes inevitable.
Therefore, in order to protect
the interests which faculty, stu-
dents, graduates and all citizens
