of Capitol policemen were as
signed to the House side.
Declaring he had never met
the chief at the time ale offered
the amendment in the Appro-
priations Committee, Mr.. Whit

sonal in his decision.
Mr.. Written added, Gin view
of the assurances of Chief
Pearce to me, / have no objec-
ton to an amendment to strike
out the language of my amend
ment."
He said he had at first been
told that Chief Pearce had
retired from the Metropolitan
police force and was holding
the job on Capitol Hill as a
"sideline." He said he did not
think the Office should be filled
by somebody coming up here
to Craze until he retires."
Chief Pearce, with SO years
on the Metropolitan police
force behind him, is eligible for
retirement but has not yet
reached the mandatory retire
ment age Of 81.

GoIindez Leak Hints
Stiffening on Dictotors

State Department officials took
the news that some 100000 q
year in mutual aid funds might
be rejected by the Dominicans
in retaliation for the failure
to graduate young Truiillo.
The latest development in
the Trujilla saga occurred in
the classic fashion of the news
leak. 1t happened this way:
A reporter for the New York
Times. making the rounds on
his Justice Department beat
early this month, was informed
by an official that the depart
ment had some interesting ma
terial on the Murphy Galindez
case. The official added, how
ever, that it could not be re-
leased because the department
lacked authority from the par
ents of Gerald Murphy to make
it public.
The reporter asked Repre-
sentative Porter, Democrat Of
Oregon, to get the parents to
authorize release of the ma
terial. The Congressman, who
has been spearheading a drive
to clear up the mystery of Mr..
Murphy's disappearance in De-
cember, 1856, called Mr.. and
Mrs. Lester Murphy in Eugene,
Ore. He dictated to them a let
ter which they then mailed to
him. 1t read:
I'VE understand our Govern
ment has in its possession GER
tain papers which belonged to
our son. Gerald L. Murphy.
I'VE want you to get these
and we give our permission for
them to be used by you, as you
see f1t-then send them to us. "
Reporter Shown Papers
This letter gave Mr.. Porter
legal possession of the Murphy
documents although physically
they remained for the time be-
ing IN Justice Department GUS
tody. He arranged for the re-
porter to examine the papers,
photostat some Of them and
print the story.
After the story was out, the
department delivered the
papers to Mr.. Porter yesterday.
Government sources con-
coded that the whole incident
was designed to focus attention
on the developing new look
in our hemisphere foreign
policy. A key fact in the cir
cumstantial case is the close
relationship between Vice Pres
ident Nixon and the No.
man in the Justice Depart
ment, Attorney General
Rogers.
The Murphy Galindez case
gave the United States a good
place to start in a stiffening

icy impartiality and detach-
ment."
ITO put 1t bluntly." the SEC
chairman added, "the commits

more II Mr.. Adams were Mr..

Decries Accusations
Mr.. Gadsby said he resented
"unfounded statements" tend
ing to undermine confidence in
the SEC. Saying he had
thought that the era Of trial
by innuendo and inference had
been diSowned some time ago."
the SEC chairman added:
Il dislike to see any mem
bers or persons connected with
the Congress which saw the
necessity for setting up this
commission participate in q
baseless attack rejecting on
this agency's probity."
This was an apparent refer
ence to statements by SUBJ
committee Chairman Harris.
Democrat of Arkansas, and
others saying the record so
far indicates that Mr.. Goldfine
+, received favored treatment
from both the SEC and the
Federal Trade Commission.
Mr.. Gadsby and other SEC
officials testified before the

ing Federal regulatory agencies
as hearings were resumed on
the relations between President
Eisenhower's No. / assistant
and Mr.. Goldfine.

for the subcommittee, praised
Mr.. Gadsby for "a fine state
ment." Then he said that
apart from the statement he
wanted to make a comment
himself "in fairness to the
commission and its staff" He
went on to praise "the rank
and file" of the SEC for "a WELL
deserved reputation for up
rightness and effective per-
Torrance of duties"
Mr.. Lishman said the SUBJ
committee constantly was re-
ceiving all sort Of reports and
checking into them. These
reports. he added, have shown

After the morning hearing.
