House Groups at Odds
Over Defectors Probe

Mexico. They finally reappeared
at a Moscow news conference
last week when they asserted
that the United States was en-
dangering world peace.
Mr.. Vinson and Mr.. Kilday
have said nothing for publica-
ton except to issue two general
statements concerning appoint
ment of the subcommittee and
witnesses invited to closed hear
ings beginning Thursday. The
subcommittee's other members
are Representatives Arends. Re-
publican of Illinois, and Hardy,
Democrat of Virginia.
Polite Struggle
From sources close to both
investigating groups, however,
it is known that a polite but
determined struggle is under
way. There is little if any like
lihood that the Committee on
Un-American Activities can be
persuaded to call off it's hear
ings. But efforts repeatedly are
being made to have the COM
mitee limit the scope of it's in
vestigation and confine them
to closed hearings.
Congressional and other sup
porters of the Armed Services
subcommittee investigation say
privately they are apprehensive
that the Committee on Un-
American Activities probe could
turn into a free-wheeling spec
tacle.
Mr.. Walter maintains there
is room for investigations by
both his committee and the
Armed Services group. He shows
no sign of backing down. much
less out. And Mr.. Vinson and
Mr.. Kilday give every sign they
plan a comprehensive examina-
ton of the entire problem posed
by Mitchell and Martin.

This highlights a national

It is one which troubles
thoughtful persons of both
parties. There is an ever
present danger. But there is
a school of thought which
angrily insists it is unpatri-
otic to talk about it.
1t is, say the members of
this woody minded cult,
downgrading the United
States to the status Of a sec

all is not we'll and that we
have things well in hand.
There is an inSiStence that

A behind-the-scenes tug-of-
war between two House investi-
eating groups threatens to turn
into a jurisdictional squabble
over the right to investigate the
case of two National Security
Agency code clerks who de-
fected to Moscow.
The House Committee on
Un-American Activities and its
often outspoken chairman,
Representative Walter, Demo-
crat of Pennsylvania, came into
the picture first. But some con-
gresSional observers believe a
special subcommittee appointed
later by Armed Services Com
mittee Chairman Vinson, Dem
crat of Georgia. already is
showing up with the most.
Whether or not Mr.. Vinson
acted a bit belatedly in setting
up the subcommittee headed
by Representative Kilday, DEM
ocrat of Texas, his forces have
moved fast. They scheduled
their opening session for
Thursday, the day before the
previously announced frs t
meeting of Mr.. Walters COM
mittee. They also have called
in a much longer and more
imposing list of witnesses.

The average Asian, Latin
and African are not well in
formed in all the niceties of
U.N. diplomatic immunity.
There will be some, perhaps,
who will recognize that the
United States did not act
with boorishness about Khru-
shchev's coming. But most Of
them will see only that Khru-
shchev was speaking from
America and propagandizing
Soviet policies Of peace and
disarmament.
That these measures are
known to be impossible of
attainment will be lost in the
flood of words and music
from the Communist delega-
ton.
There will be a great court
ing Of the new African dele
cations. And there may be,
by late September, a coercive
weight to hang over their
heads.
It is just possible that by
September 20 the Congo will

so, the new nations, which

The mystery as to what the
two traitors. Mitchell and
Martin. were really up to be-
fore they went to the Soviet
Union appears to be getting
deeper. Some of the things
they did can be attributed
only to unbalanced minds.
but the insidious hand of the
Soviet government. acting
through agents in this coun-
try and Mexico, appears
throughout.
It was a smart move for
the American Government to
suppress for a brief interval
the text Of the note which
the two defectors left at a
Maryland bank. It played
havoc with the plan of the
Soviets, who thought they
would have two separate bar
RACES of propaganda for
which the United States
would set the world stage.
AS it turns out, there was
an opportunity for the free
countries to compare on the
same day the statements is
sued before and after the de-
fectors reached the Soviet
Union. One portion of the
statement issued in Moscow
by the two traitors indicates
their own confusion as fol-
lows:
I'm February, 1853, we OBJ
tanned an appointment with
a Congressman who had pub
licly expressed concern ever

cealing from Congress perth

incident
I'VE explained to him the
nature of the C-130 intelli-
gence mission and indicated
that we felt such violations
of the airspace of other ma
tions were dangerous to
world peace.
"Our conversation was in
terrupted when the Con-
gresham received a tele-
phone call from the Assistant
Secretary of State for con-
gressional relations, William
Macomber. who requested
him to refrain from further
public discussion of the
C-130 incident"
Now, it is interesting to
note that Representative
Evening star., 1960-09-12

the No. and No. 2 Democrats
on the Armed Services Commit
tee, and Mr.. Arends, the No. /
Republican on that group, are
unusually powerful and influ-
entail House members. Mr..
Kilday is regarded as an ex-
pert on constitutional as we'll
as military law.
Mr.. Walter likewise is one of
the most powerful men in Con-
gress. Besides heading the
Committee on Un-American
Activities he is second-ranking
Democrat on the House Judi
ciary Committee and is chair
man of the Democratic patron
age committee for the House.
In appointing the Armed
Services subcommittee, Mr..
Vinson made several pointed
references that might be re-
garded as aimed at Mr.. Wal
ter's committee.
He emphasized that the
Armed Services Committee has
gathered considerable infor-
nation about the defectors and
"is charged by Congress with
the responsibility for looking
into matters of this nature. ;"
He declared "it is the only way
to conduct an inquiry of this
kind" And he added that the
committee, in exercising its
supervisory jurisdiction over
such agencies as NSA and the
Central Intelligence Agency,
has done so without publicity"
IL Witnesses Called
Mr.. Kilday said today that
the subcommittee's first meet
ing Thursday will be devoted
to general discussion of areas
to be explored. The subcom-
mittee may decide at that time
whether and when to have
open hearings. Most of the II
NSA, CIA and Defense De-
partment officers requested to
testify beginning Thursday are
concerned to some extent with
employe clearance and screen
ing for security jobs.

Wayne Hays, Democrat of

former president Of the
NATO parliamentary or
ganization. says that two
men once called on him and
showed credentials which he
thought were from the Gen.
trail Intelligence Agency but
which might have been
from the National Security
Agency. They seemed to
think more information
about the C-130 flight should
be made public. Mr.. Hays
adds that he talked the mat
ter over with the chairman
of the Armed Services Com
mittee and the chairman of
the House Foreign Affairs
Committee and that they ex-
plored all the possibilities.
but nobody suspected at the
time that the two NSA men
might be diSloyal. Speaking
of the two visitors, whose
faces he says he does not
recognize from the picture
transmitted from Moscow
last week. Mr.. Hays declared
to this correspondent:
"They made the point to
me that in a democracy they
thought the executive de-
partment ought to keep the
Congress informed of things
they were doing which might
later result in war. AS I look
back over it now, they
seemed to want to hold a
public hearing of some kind.
I think they were hunting
publicity. Mr.. Macomber
never telephoned me as they
claim"
Also, Mr.. Macomber con-
firmed that he never tele-
phoned Mr.. Hays in con-
nection with the episode. Mr..
Hays recalls that he and
other members of Congress
obtained from the State
Department at the time all
the information they sought
about the C-130 incident,
which satisfied them, and
they thought no more about
it. In fact they didn't even
