White House Saws
No Danger,
Hits Leaks

GETTYSBURG, Pa, Dec. %
R.-The United States is not
"at this time" in a position of
military weakness, White
House spokesman said today.
AS for the future, President

on that in his state-of-the-
Union message to Congress
January 8.
White House Press Secretary
James c. Hagerty made q
statement on the Nations cur
rent defense status in the wake
Of recent newspaper reports
based on leaks from the
Gather Committee Report.
Stories that have been
printed which indicate that
the United States is in a posi-
ton of weakness at this time
are not true" Mr.. Hagerty said
in response to a news confer
ence query.
He was asked to comment on
the world repercussions from
reports that the Gather Com
mittee, originally headed by H.
Rowan Gather. jr.. had found
the United States in the grav-
est danger in its history.
Hagerty Talks Down Peril
The indications from these
news reports was that the COM
mittee. which studied United
States defense status, went
into both the long-term and
Short-term national peril.
Mr.. Hagerty, emphasizing
that he was speaking of the
present. maintained there was
no current danger. Trying to
discuss the future situation for
the country was like looking
into a crystal ball. he added,
and conclusions varied.
The administration is keep
ing the Gather Report secret,
despite demands from Congress
members and others that it be
made public.
Mr.. Hagerty said the Presi-
dent would begin to have busi-
ness callers Monday at his
Gettysburg farm. where he
plans to work on his State-of-
the-Union and budget mes
sages for Congress. which con-
venes January 7.
He will see Marion Folsom.
Secretary of Health. Education
and Welfare, on Monday and
Budget Director Percival Brun-
dage on Tuesday.

The President will give in
the State-of-the-U Union mes
sage his estimate of the mill
tary position of our country as
it is now and what has to be
done in the future to continue
that strength" Mr.. Hagerty
told newSmen.
He said the President would
base his outlook on information
from the Gather Report as well
as on information from other
committees and on his own per.
Sonal information.

tional peril were true.
The Press Secretary said he
had rather expected this query
sooner or later" and was pre-
pared for it. He added his
answer was not just of the

time. he said that is not in the

Paper Doubts
Reds Claim

VATICAN CITY, Radio, Nc) $500
Soviet claims that religious free
dom exists in the U.S.S.R. be-
cause it is guaranteed by that
country's constitution are false.
Such claims openly contradict
the dramatic reality" Of the
Reds persecution of religion.
These statements were made by
LOsservatore Romano, Vatican
City daily, in commenting on the
recent interview granted by Nj
kita Khrushchev, Communist par
ty boss in the U.S.S.R., to Amer
lean publisher William Randolph
Hearst, Jr.
In stating that there is free
dom of religion in the Soviet
Union, Khrushchev said nothing
new, L'Osservatore noted. His
answers were based on consti-
tutional and legislative docu-
mentS quoted Dy Hed leaders Tor
the past 40 years.
But their theoretical assertions,
L'Osservatore pointed out, have
not prevented the communists
from conducting a violent perse-
cution of religion ever since the
October Revolution of 1917.
There is no real separation of
Church and State in the Soviet
Union, the Vatican City daily con-
tinued.
"In reality" it declared, "strict
existing legislation seeks to sep
arate religion from life" while
the Communist party" strives to
eliminate religious prejudice
Communist leaders," it said,
Edo not want to separate religion
from politics, but on the con-
trary are seeking to turn it into
the slave Of communist politics"
