CHICAGO, Mar. "a AP).-
The State Departments secur-
ity chief said today his office
could provide q flair summary"
of secret information used in
denying passports to alleged
Communists.
But he said 1t would do less
harm TO grant such disputed
passport than to disclose sour
ces of continuing information
on the Communist conspiracy.
John w. Hanes, jr.. set forth
the State Departments views
on the need for a new passport
law in a speech prepared for
the Chicago Council of Foreign
Relations.
Court Bars Practice
A Supreme Court ruling last
year struck down the State
Departments practice of keep
ing secret information on which
it relied to deny passports TO
citizens it said were Commu-
niSts or Communist supporters.
Mr.. Hanes said the depart
ment wants only power to
deny passports to "hard-core
supporters Of the international
Communist movement" - and
this only through due le-
gal processes including court
review.
I'VE do not seek statutory
passport authority to stifie
criticism Of this Government
or its policies" he said. I'VE
do not seek or want authority
to deny passports to any whose
travel or activity abroad is
an embarrassment to
our country"

ingless If it forbade the use
of confidential information.

The measure allows conrti-

Casual events arise to pre-

U. n. Expected
ToBar Peiiping
For 9Th Time

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Sept. 20 (AP).-Red China's
bid for a United Nations seat
is expected to fall for the ninth
straight year today.
Observers predicted the 81
nation General Assembly would
vote to shelve the thorny East
West issue for another year.
The Assembly headed for a
ballot after a day Of bitter
debate in which the United
States branded Red China an
outlaw whose admission would
debase the world organization.
The charges put forth by
former United States Assistant
Secretary of State Walter s.
Robertson brought a sharp
counter attack from Soviet
Deputy Foreign Minister Vastly
v. Kuznetsov. He accused the
United States Of trying to drag
the U. N. back to the worst
days Of the cold war.
Angered by U. S. Reply
Apparently angered by the
blunt United States reply to
Soviet Premier Khrushchev's
espousal Of Peiping's case here
last week, Mr.. Kuznetsov
charged Mr.. Robertson was
distorting facts in an ettempt
to churn up feeling against
Red China. He depicted the
Communist state as peace low
ing and reiterated its claims to
the Chinese Nationalist bastion
of Formosa.
The opening day Of debate
on the issue indicated none of
the member states has switched
its position from last year when
Peiping's bid was batted down,
44-28 with 8 abstentions.
Only the Soviet bloc mem
bers appear to be giving spirit
ed backing to Mr.. Khrushchev's
declaration that refusal to
Red China is causing an in
tolerable situation.
Asians Limit Arguments
Apparently chilled by events
in Laos. Tibet and along In
dia'S northern frontier, most
Asian nations have limited
their arguments for Peiping's
admission to procdural points.
Even midas v. K. Krishna
Menon, who has championed
PeIping's cause year after year.
lacked his usual spark when he
went before the 2l-nation Steer
ing Committee last week with
his proposal to put the issue of
seating Red China on the
agenda. The committee recon-
mended that the assembly adopt
the United States proposal to
Shelve the issue.
Britain, which recognizes
Peiping, supported the United
States stand. Sir Pierson Dixon
said the time was not ripe for
Assembly consideration of the
issue.
Nationalist China's Ambassa-
dor T. F. Tsiang said admission
of Peiping would mean the AS
sembly had acted to complete
international communism's con-
quest Of the mainland.

We who were there, doctor,

course while cruising in San

overweight wrestler headed for
