that are supposed to explain
something to the public about
each animal. bird, and reptile

She is Miss Marion P. Nc

with a winning smile who looks
like anything but specialist in
the higher vertebrates. an en-
tomology major and a nutri-
tional expert.
Miss McCrane, who lives. at

her sister, Edna, National In

shares an office in the 157-
Iyear-old Zoo administration
building with Mrs. Lucy Mann,
widow of the former director,
William Mann.
She was hired last month by
Theodore Reed, Zoo director, to
plan and supervise the animal
sign program. When that mas
sive task is finished, Miss Nc
Crane will undertake an educa-
tional training program and go
to work on an up-to-date guide
book for the Zoo.

Clellan declined to reveal their
identity.
The Arkansas Democrat said
he expected to interview several
of the witnesses first before de-
Gliding whether they should be
questioned under oath. He in
dicated that one or two will be
from outside of Washington.
Estes, the indicted West Tex
as financier whose dealings
with Washington officials are
a focal point of the investiga-
ton, will not be among those
called tomorrow.
The session was described
as a preparatory step aimed at
getting certain information be-
fore the committee. The way
was paved for such executive
meetings last week when the
Mcclellan subcommittee form
ally voted for a full-Scale in
vestigation of the Estes case.
Invite Testimony
Senator Mcclellan was asked
yesterday what the committee
planA to do about the members
of Congress whose names have
been mentioned in the muSh-
rooming Estes investigation.
IF any names of members of
Congress come before us in
sworn testimony or state
ments," he said, I'VE will invite
the members to testify. They
will not be subpoenaed."
Senator Marlborough, Demo-
crat of Texas, who has denied
any improperly in his dealings
with Estes, said he had called
Senator Mcclellan and "volun-
teered to be of any service to
him ! can" Senator Mcclellan
said he assumed that meant
Senator Marlborough would be
willing to appear before the
committee.
Senator Marlborough has ac-
knowledged he received mot
more than $4,000 and probably
less than $1,000" from the
Estes family in campaign con-
tributions, but insisted that his
: efforts in Estes behalf were the

Among other Capitol names

, connection with Estes are:

the United Statess government:
I'VE shall protect the rights

Later, at a news conference,
Gen. Decker said United States
troops in Thailand have no or
ders to counter an invasion
there or to enter Laos, where
successes OF pro-Communist re-
bells brought on the new crisis
in Asia.
There is no invasion Of
Thailand now" he said. IF
there were an invasion, we
would have to reconsider the
orders"
Hopes for Solution
Expressing hope of political
solution in Laos, he said it is
not expected that United
States forces there will have
to do any fighting. The Amer
leans in Laos are military adj
visers training the government
troops.
"Of course" he added, "the
forces are under orders to de-
fend themselves if attacked.
That is the responsibility Of
any commander.
Asked If there was some con-
nection between easing of ten
sions in Berlin and increased
Communist pressure in South
east Asia, Gen. Decker said
Communist tactics are to re-
lax pressure in one area and
increase it in another. But he
said he was uncertain to what
extent Moscow, which precipi-
tated the Berlin crisis, was giv-
ing the orders in Southeast
Asia.
Maybe the Chinese Com-
munists are doing something
there that the Soviets don't al
together want them to do" he
said.
Gen. Decker told reporters
he had come to Berlin to in
dicate the Importance he ats
taches to the city as a symbol
of the efforts of the free world

dependence.
In answer to questions about
possible reduction in United

there actually are 1000 United

gagged in fighting Communist
