With that job done, an ad-

White House and Capitol.
They worked with brooms

at the Capitol, a high-pressure

hastily recruited workers
welded shoyels in an attack

drifts away. tractors equipped
with snow scoops carted the

Some l,70O Boy Scouts and

in Operation Dry Seat. The
firms tractor-trailer dumped
$4,000 pounds of old newspa-

Scouts, after brushing the
boards clear of snow. distrib-
uted the papers to parade

The United States Air Force
announced today it soon will
start a series of ir-sampling
flights over international

using two U-2 planes based on
Okinawa.
It was the first announce
.ment that the controversial
high altitude planes are to be
based on Okinawa, and the
Soviet Union and Red China
probably will charge that they
will reconnoiter their territory.
An Air Force spokesman said
the U-2s based on Okinawa
would carry normal Air Force
markings. Francis Gary Pow
ers' U-2, brought down on a
spy mission over Soviet terri
tory last year, was unmarked.
The Air Force announcement
said the flights from Okinawa
would make meteorological
studies and measure "concen-
.trations and types of material
to be found at extremely high
attitudes" :
1t said U-2s had carried out
similar flights from the United

The original directive, pre-

Chairman Moss Of the House

about a section of the directive

Mr.. Moss urged reversal Of

the matter was cleared up sew

Maurice H. Klein, personnel
director of the National Sc
eufity Agency, has been ques-
tioned by the House Commit
tee on Un-American Activities
about discrepancies in his per-
sonal history statements filed
with the agency.
!. He attributed the variations
about such things as his school
ing and the spelling of his
name to carelessness and typo
graphical errors. S. Wesley
Reynolds, security director of
the secret Government agency,
told the committee he had
checked into the discrepancies
and concluded they did not
have any security significance"
The two NSA officials were
questioned at a closed session
Of the committee last week.
Law Degree Questioned
Committee members showed
special interest in a statement
on .one Of Mr.. Klein's forms
that he was graduated from
the. Harvard Law School and
on another that he attended
this school for a year, but re-
ceived his degree after two
years. study at the New Jersey
Law School, also known as the
Newark Law School or Rutgers
Law School.
Mr.. Klein testified that the
latter version is correct. He
said, "I think in the series of
forms, sir, there was an incor-
rect statement made on one
and whoever, when tipping
these have just accumulated
and gone on with this thing
I cannot explain it, sir, because
it has no value. The form itself
was qualifying for nothing and
! was over-qualified."
He acknowledged signing a
form with the incorrect state
ment about graduating from
Harvard Law School, saying,
"this is my trespaSs, that I am
careless it is pure care
lesSneSS."
Careless" With Forms
Mr.. Reynolds commented, "I
did not feel that he had done
this for the purpose of gaining
any advantages People are
very careless in filling out

Mr.. Klein also testified he
had always been known as
Maurice Harold Klein, but
committee counsel said records
showed that through high
school he was listed as Morriss
Harry Klein and that steps
were taken to change the
spelling of his birth certificate.
Mr.. Klein said the different
spelling was a matter of trans
lation, and added, my birth
certificate was filed by a doctor

thinking of his work as stiff
black forms against dirty

paintings aren't bad at all.
His approach is to take an
object, a chair, a table, a

Incorporating several points
Of view. The result is a

Of such forms with an ex-
quisite control of color Is all
her own.
The simplification Of forms
gives them, sometimes. q
strange monumentality, as in

shooters and in boy With
Dead Bird" Time stops, the
light freezes, and the mo-
ment becomes eternal.
Color modulates, in the
paintings, in strict corre-
spondence with the formal
modulations made by planes
juxtaposed or folded. Within
a shadow area, vibrant color
changes in intensity as the
shadow deepens. There's a
tremendous visual rhythm to
this that is most pleasing.
The most ambitious work Is
Bird and Cactus" Here
Mrs. Crawford goes all out
and creates q tense compost
ton Of tightly locked forms
in which the colors seem to
beat and the image speaks

contemporary od block
prints by 10 leading Japanese
artists. The show is in the
C street lobby Of the new
building between Twenty

the way, has perhaps the
best combination Of natural
and artificial light in town
for art purposes. 1t is heart
