Canada Demands
U.S. Pledge to
Restrict Use of
Security Info
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
WASHINGTON, Uf)—Adminis
tration officials said yesterday it
may be difficult to withhold from
congressional committees security
information given to this country
by Canada.
A Canadian demand for a pledge
to restrict such information was
presented to Under Secretary of
State Christian Herter Wednesday
by Ambassador A. D. P. Heeney.
Under the terms proposed by
Canada information given the
United States in the future? on
such matters as Communist sub
version could be passed on to
committees of Congress only
when the Canadian government
specifically agreed.
The Canadian insistence on
such an agreement stems from
Canada’s anger over the suicide
of its ambassador in Cairo, E, H.
Norman, last week. Norman had
been accused before the Senate
Internal Security Subcommittee
of having once been a Communist.
And the subcommittee made pub
lic the testimony on this point.
No information obtained from
Canada was involved in the Nor
man case, but Canada criticized
the action and said she must move
to protect her citizens.
Chairman Eastland (D-Miss)
and Sen. Jenner (R-Ind), ranking
GOP member of the Internal Se
curity Committee, joined yester
day in a statement saying the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
has coroborated the group’s in
formation.
The statement was telephoned
to news offices. Shortly there
after staff members called back
to say Eastland had directed it be
withdrawn.
The statement broadly implied
that the subcommittee does not
plan to allow the Canadian protest
to govern its actions. It concluded
with this language:
“The Internal Security Sub
committee is conscious of its du
ties and obligations to the Senate |
and to the American people.
“The subcommittee shall at all
times conduct its responsibilities
in this light.”
The statement said further that
the material was cleared for pub
lication by the State Department,
and the release was then approved
by all subcommittee members ex
cept one who was ailing.
Two divorces were granted in
the U.S. District Court by Judge
Walter Hodge:
Aldrich Long from Irene Long,
and Dolly Prout fmm Thomas
Prout.

State Dept. Gets
23% Slash
WASHINGTON, »-The House
Appropriations Committee today
slashed 23 percent from new
funds requested by the State De
partment and the United States
Information Agency. It criticized
them both for what it called
“amazing and unprecedented”
practices. n
It refused to approve any mon
ey for 2,123 new positions the two
agencies requested and for contin
uance of 950 jobs established dur
ing the present fiscal year without
prior consideration or appropria
tions by Congress.
In a sharply worded report
written by Rep. Rooney (D-NH),
the committee decried “fiscal ir
responsibility on the part of the
State Department” and “irrespon
sible handling of the taxpayers’
J money” in connection with for
eign programs financed with
funds appropriated to the Presi
dent.
For the State Department, an
appropriation of $180,382,743 was
recommended. This is a cut of
$47,331,809, or almost 21 percent,
from presidential requests and
$41,317,329 less than was provided
this year.
