z Missing NSA Intelligence Men
Believed to Be Defectors to Reds
BY the Associated Press


Two American intelligence
specialists were presumed by
the Pentagon today to have
gone behind the Iron Curtain.
The two are Bernon F.
Mitchell. 81, and William H.
Martin, 20, employed since 1857
as mathematical analysts at
the National Security Agency
at nearby Fort Meade, Md.
NSA is a supersecret defense
unit which intercepts radio
signals and works on commun-
ications intelligence "a hours a
day. Mathematics is one tool
used for breaking secret codes.
The Defense Department
broke silence late yesterday on
the whereabouts of Mr.. Mitchell
and Mr.. Martin, who myster-
iously disappeared June "a.
An official statement said it
must be assumed that there
is a likelihood" that the two
"have gone behind the Iron
Curtain"
1t added that an investigation
indicated information in their
possession if revealed could be
in no way prejudicial to the
security of United States COM
munications" and neither man
had "access to classified infor-
nation about American weap-
ons or defense plans"
A Pentagon spokesman de-
clined TO say whether the pair
had other information of value
to the Reds, such as on United
States ode-breaking techniques
and on NSA operations. Nor
would he say what Communist

Phe statement said the two
had worked "in limited areas

work"
The department confirmed
earlier reports that Mr.. Mitch
ell and Mr.. Martin had been
traced to Mexico City and then
to Havana.
In Eureka, Calf, Mr.. Mitch
ellis father said, Il certainly
don't believe" the Pentagon's
assumption that his son had
slipped away to Red territory.
Emery F. Mitchell, a Eureka
attorney, said, I'll never be-
lieve it unless Bernon told me
so himself, and I have been
with him long enough to know
that he was in sound mind" "

U. n. Prepares
Showdown on
Katanga Crisis
Troop Entry Off,
Session Called
For Tomorrow

LEOPOLDVILLE, The Congo,
Aug. 6 (AP). - Three Congo
ministers decided today to fol-
low Secretary General Dag
Hammarskjold to New York
for tomorrow nights United |
Nations Security Council show
down on diSsident Katanga |
Province.
On the way they plan to
confer with Premier Patrice |
Lumumba, now touring West |
African countries. He may
abandon his trip, turn around
and return to New York for
the council session.
The decision to send the
ministers to New York was
reached at an emergency cab
met meeting after Mr.. Ham
marskjold scrapped plans to
send U. N. troops into Katanga
the rich province which has
declared it's independence from
the Congo.
Warning of BlOOdshed
Mr.. Hammarskjold's top
troubleshooter in the Congo,
Undersecretary Ralph j.
Bunche, warned after a visit |
to Katanga that sending U. N. !
troops to the province might |
provoke bloodshed.
Mr.. Hammarskjold proposed
in report to the Council re-
leased in New York before his
arrival there that the Council
assure dissident Katanga that |
U. N. forces have no intention
of taking sides in Congo's in
ternal conflict. He said such
action might open the door to
speedy settlement of the issue
posed by the province barring
U. N. troops. He added 1t was
now obvious that the objectives
of the U. N. resolution cannot |
be achieved by the U. N. force |
"aS its mandate has been de-
fined" and the Council may
wish to clarity its views on the |
matter"
The Congo ministers going to |
the New York are Foreign
Minister Justin Bomboko, Dep
uty Premier Rene Mwambe, and
Thomas Kama, the Congo's
minister-delegate to the United
Nations.
Although leaders of Mr.. Lu-
mumba's government have been
pressing the U. N. to bring
Katanga under control Of U. N.
troops, their reaction to Mr..
Hammarskjold's backdown on
Katanga was mild.
This indicated they prefer to
go along with a U. N. solution |
of the problem rather than risk
Soviet Observation-Disclosures
by Mr.. Lumumba-to restore
order.
Spotlight on Belgium
The view in both diplomatic
and government circles is that
the spotlight now has turned
on Belgium and pressure will
be on Brussels to comply with
earlier Security Council resolu-
tions calling for withdrawal of
Belgian troops from the entire
Congo-including Katanga.
Without Belgian support,
Premier Noise Tshombe's Ka-
tanga regime probably would
collapse quickly.
In his capital of Elisabeth
vile, Mr.. Tshombe issued a
statement saying:
II rejoice to see that DR..
Ralph Bunche and, through
him, the U. N. have taken cog
nizance of the Katanga peoples
resolution not to accept an
archy and chaos. This is en-
couraging because we see there
proof that the right of people to
dispose of themselves as they
want is recognized by the U. N.
Many problems remain to be
settled but I remain confident
that the right of my country
will triumph"

and frustrating the U. N. effort
to restore order in the Congo,

Acts to Spur
on
His Program

NEWPORT. r. l., Aug. 6
(AP). - President Eisenhower
will send the reconvening con-
gress a special message Monday
urging action on a program
the White House termed "in,
the public interest"
Announcing this today, Press
Secretary James C. Hagerty left
open the possibility that Mr..
Eisenhower also may go on
Nationwide television and radio
next week to plug for his
program.
The special message will go
to the Senate when it convenes
Monday at midday after a
recess for the political con-
ventions. The House does not
return to work until August 10,
but Mr.. Eisenhower's message
will be delivered to the House
clerk at the same time it goes
to the Senate.
Due Back Tomorrow
Mr.. Eisenhower will end his
seaside vacation tomorrow aft
Iernoon and fly back to Wash
ington. He has been in Newport
since July 7 except for six days
last week in Chicago and
Denver.
The Presidents message, Mr..
Hagerty said, will "stress the
fact that there is much i'm
portant work that this Con-
gress has before it, which the
President hopes they will be
able to complete in the public
interest for the people of this
country"
The session, expected to last
at least until Labor Day, will
have an inevitable aura of
politics this presidential elec-
ton year.
Presiding over the Senate
will be Vice President Nixon,
the Republican presidential
nominee. On the Democratic
side of the aisle will be Senator
Kennedy of Massachusetts,, his
party's choice for the White
House, and his running mate,
Senator johnson of Texas.
Foreign Policy Involved
Mr.. Hagerty declined to go
into any detail regarding the
content of Mr.. Eisenhower's
message. He said in reply to
questions, however, that it will
deal in part with the foreign
policy generally.
Mr.. Hagerty also said the
President will have something
to say on a subject he men
toned in his address to the
Republican National Conven-
ton last week.
At that time Mr.. Eisenhower
dealt with the increasingly hos
tile attitude of the Soviet
Union, and announced:
g. I am planning an early
conference with congressional
leaders of both parties on these
significant events. Depend
ing upon developments in
the meantime. I shall make
such recommendations for any
changes in our national pro-
gram as may seem appropriate"
That meeting with the lead
ers probably won't be held Until
late next week or until after
the House reconvenes, Mr.. Hag-
erty indicated.
He declined to say whether
the President in his message
will deal with demands by Sen
ator Kennedy and other Demo-
Gratis that defense spending be
increased by up to So billion.
Fund Held Adequate
Nh. Eisenhower for months
has contended that spending in
that field-$40 billion in the
current fiscal year-is adequate
for the times. There have been
reports in Washington this
week, however, that the Presi-
dent may call for some increase
after all.
AS for the possibility of the
President going Gil television
and radio, Mr.. Hegerty said the
White House had not yet asked
the networks for air time.
