Senator Mike Monroney of

A special laurel wreath is
due to the Republican Senate

in all these matters. At least
the majority leader, Senator
Lyndon johnson, and Speaker
Rayburn get some press at

Senator Knowland has

One Of the ugliest buildings

One Of the ugliest buildings
In Washington. in an area
locally known as "Foggy Bot
TOM" is the home of chronic
crisis and the object of con-
slant criticism.
The State Department is a
good deal like the elderly la
dies in the patent medicine
advertisements, in that it is
prey to endless backaches
and headaches. Indeed, this
center of American foreign
policy might be described as
the most lined and weary of
all the six official faces of
Washington.
Nothing in the law or Con-
stitution says this must be
so. Nevertheless, the State
Department in all admins
trations, including the pres
ent one, is always running a
painting race with the shadow
Of unpopularity. And it is
nearly always losing.
II the Senate is not up in
arms against the department,
the House of Representatives
will be. And on the rare &C.
casions when these faithful
critics may be quiescent, one
section or another of public
or press will be in full cry
against the denizens of Foggy
Bottom.
These characters, in conse-
quence, have long since de-
veloped the most wary sensi-
tivity. All but the strongest
tend TO look for sinister I'M
dertones in the most limo
cent of industries.
This prolix and unduly
careful attitude is often ex-
hibited before Congress.

generations-it is also regret

the public image Of the State
Department that hostile poll
ticians have so long fostered
-fuddy- buddy. striped pants,
tea-drinking.
This is an inexact and un-
fair image and one harmful
to the interests Of the United
States. For this department
conducts the first line of the
country's defense and for the
most part with great devo-
tion--as it is doing at this
moment in the Middle East.
The bureaucratic inertia
and encrusted STIFFNESS of
the State Department is un-
deniable. To blame are not
the top people-those from
Secretary of State down
through UnderSecretary and
Assistant Secretaries - but
rather those in the tiers be-
low. These tend to a fusty
solemnity in which no gaiety
could raise its head-and a
certain gaiety is not always
out Of place in the solution
of great problems.
It is obvious that some
thing about the system is not
too easy to bear, even for
those IN it. The most recent
ex-Secretary of State. Dean
Acheson, is far more strik-
ingly persuasive out Of Office
than he was in. The ex-

Schwartz's charges are with
out foundation" The lawyer
Thurman A. Whiteside. also
has denied DR.. Schwartz's ver-
sion. Mr.. Mack and Mr.. White
side are among witnesses listed
for questioning under oath later
in the week.
Mr.. Mack yesterday accepted
an invitation to appear Thurs
day.
Witnesses scheduled for Tues
day include Mr.. Whiteside,
Judge Robert Anderson, Paul
Scott and Perrine Palmer. Mr..
Palmer has said he will appear
and invitations have been ex-
tended to the others. Their
testimony is expected to extend
into Wednesday and possibly
longer.
Mr.. Palmer was identified by
Dr. Schwartz as an intermedi-
airy who tried unsuccessfully to
obtain Mr.. Mack's release
from a pledge" to back an APP
plication for channel 10 from
Public Service Television, Inc,
q wholly owned subsidiary of
National Airlines.
Judge Anderson and Mr..
Scott were identified as attor-
neys for Public Service when
the application was pending.
Documents Missing
Mr.. Harris said he will ask
DR.. Schwartz about two docu-
mentS missing from subcom-
mittee files. The counsel took
some files with him before he
was fired last Monday night.
They later were returned. Mr..
Harris told newsmen the two
missing papers could be-
White House letters.
DR.. Schwartz told the sub
committee in testimony that
its files contained copies of two
letters from Mr.. Adams to
Murray Chotiner, a Los An
geles lawyer who managed Vice
President Nixon's campaign for
the Sen ate in 1850. DR..
Schwartz said the Adams let
tiers related to a matter before
a Federal regulatory agency,
but gave no details.
In Los Angeles, Mr.. Chotiner
said:

The book deals primarily
with the Supreme Court and
the impact Of its decisions on
the individual citizen. Congress,
the Executive. Federal agen-
cies. the States, and other fac
tors such as the constitutional
revolution" since 1887 in the
high court itself.
1t thus does not directly put
forth the views Of DR.. Schwartz
on such things as the latitude
a committee counsel should
have, the use Of overlapping or
tape recording to trap a pros
pective witness, or the propriety
of disclosing or distributing
committee files without knowl-
edge or permission of a COM
mittee.
Creature Of a Resolution"
Whatever the current adver-
saries of DR.. Schwartz say
about the present monkey
wrench he threw into the
House subcommittee investiga-
ton of Federal regulatory agen-
cies. his friends can reply by
quoting the books statement
that:
ut is a basic principle that
a congressional committee is
wholly the creature of the reso-
luton setting it up and cannot
act ultra wires beyond the
power of that instrument"
This is interpreted in some
Capital circles as indicating
and bolstering-the contention
of DR.. Schwartz that he had to
take drastic action to put the
House subcommittee back on
the track. He maintains that
the purpose was to determine
whether the Federal agencies
function properly, honestly and
without pressure.
But it would take still an
other book to compile COM
ments by other Congressman
and public officials who casti-
gate DR.. Schwartz for all the
tumult and shouting. They
charge he has twisted and de-
graded the words in his own
book that Congress should be
looked upon as a great public
forum for the ventilation of
popular grievances"
