quency. In the battle Of de-
mocracy versus totalitarianism
let us not initiate the tactics
of our adversaries. Let oul
weapon be the truth, not a lie. >
Mr.. Rowe complained about
a Pentagon directive requiring
that interviews or telephone
conversations with newsmen be
reported by Defense Depart
ment personnel.
"Such a directive can be
used to intimidate the dis
senter, the official who may
believe that a Government de-
cision is grossly wrong and who
feels that the American people
are entitled to know what is
wrong and why" Mr.. Rowe
said.
Three Ideas Suggested
Mr.. Robb suggested a three
point program to solve prob
lens that have been created
in this area Of news manage
ment and manipulation"
/. The Government should
repudiate the idea that It has
a right to lie ''or that it will
! lie even as a matter of self
protection"
2. The Governments top in
formation officers should make
clear that whatever they were
thinking about with respect to
news management, it is hence
forth eschewed and eliminated
as a matter of policy in giving
out the facts and the news" "
8. Reporters should be given
permission ito witness all the
possibly great and near-great
stories of our time" with CEN
sorship later If that is neces-
sary.

the three men had been con-
victed on coerced confessions.
Noia turned to the Federal
courts in a habeas corpus pro-
ceeding. The issue that came
to the Supreme Court out Of
these proceedings was whether
his failure TO appeal earlier
now meant Federal courts were
without jurisdiction TO hear his
case.
The majority's opinion yes

courts can hear cases such as
Noia's. said his failure to APP
peal-in view Of the possible
risk Of a death sentence-was
not the type OF waiver that
should bar him from now OBJ
tanning a Federal court review
of his case.
Frivolous Pleas Seen
Justice Harlan. In his dis
sent, maintained that the Fed
eral courts lacked power to re-
lease Noia from the State de-
tention because his custody
does not violate any Federal
right and is based on q con-
viction resting upon an ade-
quate and independent State
ground which the Federal
courts are required TO respect" I"
In his separate dissent, JUS
tice Clark said the majority's
ruling viii generate q flood Of
new applications to Federal
courts for review by State pris-
oners, most Of them frivolous.
He said this win have the ef-
feet Of burying worthy requests
under q sea of worthless ones.
He contended that the new
ruling. in effect substituting
Federal habeas corpus for usual
appeal procedures, strikes a
staggering blow" at "the ef-
fective administration Of GRIM

freely known II and when
security considerations require
censorship"
Telling less than all the
truth when such national Sc
curity situations require it does
not excuse telling lies." Mr..
Robb said.
He said that even If security
requires censorship reporters
should have access to all the
news, and "if necessary, let 1t
then be censored by military
authorities"
Mr.. Rowe said Government
spokesmen should have adopted
"a mo comment" policy at the
outset of the Cuban crisis, in
stead Of making statements
which he labeled clear decep-
tions Of the American people.
He said that would have pro-
tected security without raising
a serious question about the
veracity Of the Government. "
Mr.. Rowe said the public still
doesn't have the full story Of
the Cuban blockade.
Complaint on Pictures
He also complained that the
Defense Department refused to
release pictures Of nuclear tests
in the Pacific, although Soviet
vessels we're nearby and could
take their own photographs.
Mr.. Rowe said that did not pro-
tect national security but
rather the image the admin
istration wanted to present to
the world"
He said the National Aero
nautics and Space Administra-
ton began doctoring" its re-
port on satellites last year by
failing to list some Soviet
launchings.
ITO make the decisions they
must make, the American peo-
pie need full and accurate in
formation" Mr.. Rowe said. IF
the Government does not see
fit to give it to them the press
must redouble its efforts to
seek the truth"

u. ). Worker
Sues 10 Block
GrdfuifYFiriing

A Federal worker who has
been accused Of letting a firm
with Army contracts pay his
nightclub and other expenses,
today asked Federal District
Court in Alexandria to block
the Governments threat to
dismiss him
The suit was filed by Selwyn
Asquith, 46, a deputy director
Of procurement at the Plea
tinny Arsenal in Dover, N. j.,
who has worked for the Gov
eminent for more than 20
years.
The defendants are Army
Secretary Cyrus R. Vance and
Lit. Gen Frank S. Besson, COM
handing general of the Army
Materiel Command at Grav-
ely Point.
Hired as GS-I5
Mr.. Asquith, a GS-15, said
in the suit that last June l
he was transferred from the
Detroit Procurement District to
the Mobility Command in De-
troit as a result Of a pending
investigation of alleged miscon-
duct. On June %, he was told
he could remain at the mobility
unit as a GS-14, he said. In
stead, he resigned June 80.
Last August S, he was hired
as a GS-15 at the Picatinny
Arsenal, although officials
there knew Of the past inves-
tigation, his suit says.
However, "a new and full in
vestigation again established
the known fact that the COM
plainant did accept a gratuity
in the form of entertainment
in the Chez Paree nightclub in
Chicago, two aiI'plane tickets
valued at $79.54 and partial
payment Of a hotel expense &C
count in the amount Of S38. eli
= IN the period 1901" the suit
said.
According to affidavits ac-
companying the suit, the in
vestigation disclosed that Mr..
Asquith and his wife accepted
several favors, including lodg-
. ing at a Wisconsin resort in
1861, from an official Of a Chi
cago firm, Active Gear, which
had Army contracts totaling
. $565,O0O.
, Influence Not Indicated
! Arsenal officials said the in
. vestigation did not indicate
, that Mr.. Asquith attempted
to wrongfully influence the
, award Of contracts" according
to the suit. However, he said,
! Col. H. H. Wishhart. COM
! Tnanding officer at the arsenal.
. advised him November that
he will be dismissed next Mon
day.
Mr.. Asquith asked the court
to determine whether the dis
missal is justified and, mean
while, to restrain Army Off
Gals from carrying it out.
First Assistant United States
Attorney Plato Cacheris said
the Government would not
have an immediate reply. Mr..
Asquith is represented by At
torneys John Alvin Crogan
and Frederick D. Sarkis.

Nixon Will Spend
Week End at Lake
Schedules Fishing Expendi-
ton With Pennsylvania
Steel Man

Former Vice President Richard
NJ Nixon is planning to spend this
weekend at Deep Creek Lake for
d fishing expedition, and since the
announcement rumors have been
flying thick and fast, one intimat-
ing that there is to be a meeting
with Nixon, Eisenhower and Gov
ernor Scranton of Pennsylvania.
Plans for this meeting are vague.
Nixon will be guest of Frank
RPckley, president of Jessop Steel
company of near Washington, Pa,
and is scheduled to be guest of
honor at a reception in Pitts
burgh next Monday evening.
Frank Sally, co-oWner ard man
ager of Point View Inn motel made
the announcement concerning
Nixon, with the balance of the
rumors not being too definite as
to origin. Angelo and Phil FalcOni,
co-oWners of the motel we're also
expected to attend the get-together.
A spokesman for JeSSop Steel,
headquartered in Washington, Pa,
confirmed that Nixon would be at
Deep Creek Lake and termed the
visit as a friendly get-together"
He said there was nothing po-
litical about it."
The reception at Pittsburgh is
set for the DuqueSne club, an eX-
elusive Pittsburgh club with many
Of the cityS top industrialists and
businessmen on its membership
rolls. He said Rackley and Nixon
we're longtime friends.
The motel manager also con-
fimed Tuesday that former Presi-
cent Dwight D. Eisenhower and
Pennsylvania governor, William
w. Scranton, also had reservations
at the motel. EiSenhoWer's Secre-
tary said he would leave New
York Friday for his Gettysburg
farm, then would spend Saturday
at Penn Stotc university inspecting
cattle. Scranton's office said it
knew nothing about any such meet
ing.
The motel manager also said he
wasn't sure whether or not to eX-
pect anybody except Nixon but
that he was making special prepara-
tons. in case someone else did
appear.
