The Senate Internal Security
Subcommittee said today the
Commerce Department deci-
sion, since revoked, to permit
shipment of IS precision grind
ing machines to the Soviet
Union was a grave error.
A license to export the ma
chimes, used in the production
of miniature ball bearings,
first was granted during the
Eisenhower administration over
Defense Department objec-
tions. The license was re-
newed by Secretary Of Com
Imerce Hodges last month, also
against advice Of the Defense
Department.
The on-again, off-again deal
came to an end last night,
however, when Mr.. Hodges an
nounced he had reconsidered
and permanently cancelled the
export license Of the Bryant Co.
/ Of Springfield, vt.
Missile Aid Seen
In a report issued today, the
Internal Security Subcommit-
tee said export OF the ma
chimes would have enabled the
Soviet Onion TO speed fy sew
eral years the production Of
better and smaller missile
guidance systems.
1t said it undertook an inves-
tigation Of the matter mot in
any desire to find scapegoats
but because we felt that the
larger issue involved in the
Bryant case was, potentially.
Of life-Or death Importance to
American and the free world"
The subcommittee added it
was convinced that the deci-
sion to grant the export license
was "a grave error-an error in
Judgment which stems from a
more basic error in procedure"
Md, Hodges sent a telegram
last night to Senator Dodd,
Democrat of Connecticut, vice
chairman of the subcommittee,
saying he had revoked the ex-
port license "as we are in

Pentdgon Acts
To Bar Leaks
Conformation
BY the Associated Prest

Secretary Of Defense NC
Namara has discussed with his
chief aides ways to stop what
the administration considers
"leaks" of military information.
The Pentagon confirmed this
last night.
A spokesman said Mr.. Nc
Namara met within the past
few days with the Secretaries
of the Army, Navy and Air
Force, the Chiefs of Staff of
services and Assistant Secre-
taries of Defense concerning
leaks Of security informa-
ton"
No Gag Seen
The spokesman said there
was discussion Of "the preven-
ton Of such leaks in the fu-
ture," but he added:
This prevention of leaks Of
security information is not to
be interpreted as a gag on
release Of non-security in
formation"
1t. Gen. Joseph Carroll, Air
Force inspector general, was
asked to review for the De-
fense Department "the physical
side of handling security mat
ters-a review of procedures,
how papers are handled and Sc
curity controlled" the spokes-
man said. He added that Gen.
Carroll. a former FBI agent,
was chosen because he is a
specialist in that type of in
vestigation.
Story Attacked
The meeting followed publ
cation earlier this week in The
Washington Evening Star of
reported views by Secretary of
State Dean Rusk on strategy
and the question Of the role
OF nuclear weapons in meeting
attacks.
Mr.. Rusk has described the
account as distorted for saying
he had recommended to Mr..
Mcnamara more emphasis on
conventional weapons and less
reliance on nuclear capacity.
President Kennedy told his
news conference Wednesday
that Mr.. Mcnamara has rec
commended a build-up in con-
ventional weapons without de-
creasing reliance on nuclear
power. Mr.. Kennedy said he
has not made a final decision.

THE FOREIGNER. By Ralph

This first novel is set in
Sicily on the eve of the al
lied invasion of 1913. The
story concerns an Italian
American who is returning to
claim a 19-year-old son born
to him and his village sweet
heart after he left for Amer
lea. The idea is a contrast
between the Sicilian and the
American ideals and respon-
sibilities.
Thus in setting and in
narrative it's a conventional
novel, but it has an attrac-
tive quality about it, a kind
of belnused attitude and per-
spective that adds up to wis
dom. And it is not without
wit; certain casual and short
passages NOTABLY one about
the Sicilian strumpet) are
delightful. Mr.. Blum studied
in Sicily on a Fulbright
scholarship. It's a safe bet
that this will be the liveliest

The plot of this story about

zling as it's title. 1t may be
that Mr.. LoomiS was looking
for a resounding and impor-
tant-sounding name. AS it
turns out, the novel is both
incomprehensible and unim-
portant but it has the grace
of being short.
Semi-retired lawyer John
Bridges undertakes to defend
two unpopular Indian boys in
a murder case but first un-
dertakes the laborious seduc-
ton of the prosecuting at
torney's wife. The boys are
pretty obviously guilty but

them the gas chamber. The
finale comes when the boys
