Newspaper Editor Warns On Secrecy Warns Os Danger Os Official Secrecy W’ASHLNGTON (INS) —J. RWiggins, managing editor of the Washington Post and Times Herald, said today that any plan to impose secrecy on government information should be studied “with utmost care.” Testifying before a senate government operation subcommittee on proposed legislation to set up a bi-partisan commission to review •the* goveAimteirtfs security program. Wiggins, chairman of the Freedom of Information Committee of the American Society of Newspaper Editors, staid: “The dangers Os secrecy . . . have become more serious than ever before, and the need for knowledge is greater than ever before.” Riggins warned that historic rights can be lost by "progressive restrictions upon those rights.” Hb added: “Secrecy, in itself, has no virtue except as it contributes to our security, ‘’Like every other device available for aur protection, it has its price and at the risk of our free institutions, that price is too high." Wiggins said any proposed commission should “weigh soberly” these six aspects of secrecy; 1. “Secrecy is seldom as effective as its exponents imagine in withholding information from an enemy.” 2 “In order to handicap an enemy by secrecy, we have to handicap ourselves. Our own effective use of technical information depends upon its widest dissemination in this country.” 3. “The whole climate of secrecy and security is alien to the instincts of the scientist” and could Hamper national defense. is alien to freedom and incompatible with freedom.” 5. "Secrecy may withhold from the public an appreciation, an understanding and an acceptance of a situation,” 6. “Secrecy may deny an enemy of knowledge of our defense potential that, if known to him, would restrain his own aggression. An over-bger secrecy about our own defenses may encourage an enemy to believe us more vulnerable to attack than we really are." Trade in a Gooo Town — Decatur

Sen. Byrd Lashes Highway Program w * Virginia Senator Assails Program WASHINGTON (INB) — Sen. Harry F. Byrd (D Va s ), attacked the administration's highway program today as “the longest step yet toward concentrating power in the federal government.” In testimony prepared for the Senate Public Works subcommittee on roads, the Virginia Democrat also charged the proposed financing program would “destroy sound budgetary procedure.” He contended that the plan as Wrftes there-wfii be no need fo*f new development on the interstate system for a 22-year period—from 1966 to 1987.. The administration plan, prepared by a special commission under retired Gen. Lucius Clay, calls tor a lt)-year construction program to develop the interstate system. It would be financed by bonds, issued by a government corpora tion, to be paid back on a longterm basis from existing federal highway-user taxes. Byrd, who heads the senate fiance "Committee,. proposed instead jiving the federal two-cent gasoline tax to the states. He said the federal aid to states should continue on its present matching basis —amounting to J 635 million a year. Byrd's criticism of the proposed 10-year plan included these points: 1. It abolishes the traditional state matching formula and 'turns over to the federal government control of 40,000 miles of our most important roads heretofore under control of the 48 states. ’ 2. It provides “large windfall refunds” to certain states "on a basis that will result in great injustice between them.” >■ It sets up a government corporation “without income or assets” to borrow 21 billion dollars tor 32 years “without declaring it as a debt.” The interest, he charged, would take 55 per cent of the unds borrowed.

Maj. Peress Probe May End Next Week Army Secretary To Be Windup Witness WASHINGTON (INS) — Sen. John L. McClellan (D Ark.), said today his Investigating subcommittee’s hearings on the case of exMaj. Irving Peress appears headed for completion in another week. He told newsmen that army secretary Robert T. Stevens and former army counselor John G. Adams will be the wind-up witnesses, with one of them taking the stand next Wednesday. Scheduled to testify today are Lt. Col. Ruluff Leverelch, chief dental surgeon at Camp Kilmer, N. J„ where Peress was a dentist while in uniform, and Maj. Herbert F. Bordeau, who administered the oath to Peress when he was promoted from captain to major Nov. 2, 1963. Meanwhile, defense department counsel Wilbert M. Brucker threw new light on Adams' role in the controversial case surrounding the promotion and honorable discharge of Peress after he refused to complete loyalty forms. Responding to Sen. Joseph IL McCarthy’s charge that Adams was part of a Jan. 81.1954, "conspiracy” to block hearings on the case, Brucker told the McClellan subcommittee : “I’m informed that John Adams first knew of Irving Peress as a person on or about Jan. 24, 1954." Brucker told newsmen he will carry to attorney general Herbert Brownell, Jr., next week, McClellan’s query as to whether secrecy can be lifted from the Jan, 21 meeting to which McCarthy referred. Brownell’s name also entered the picture Thursday. McClellan disclosed that he has been told by the cabinet official that Peress still —as far as time is concerned — could be prosecuted for stating on his application for a commission that he never was tn a subversive organisation. On subsequent forms he filled out, after he was commissioned on Oct, 7, 1952. he refused to sayunder his “federal constitutional
