Pentagon Secrecy Debate To Editors Moss And Snyder In Debate To Editors NEW ORLEANS (UP) — Rep. John E. Moss (D-Calif.) and Assistant Defense Secretary Murray Snyder moved their Pentagon secrecy debate today to an editors conventionMoss charged the Air Force was informed more -than four months in advance that Russia would launch an earth satellite carrying a dog—and “the American people were never forewarned.” Snyder countered that Moss apparently believes a "myth'’ that government officials on all levels are carrying on a “great conspiracy of secrecy.” The two made the statements in speeches prepared for delivery Ibefore the Associated Press Managing Editors Assn. Moss’ subcommittee on government information has just completed two days of hearings in Washington on secrecy. Snyder was a witness. Snyder said these hearings “failed to produce a single instance of illegal withholding of news or withholding of information for the purpose of concealing error, inefficiency or embarrassment” during the eight months he has held his job. Snyder said there is “a widespread myth that people in government—at all levels—are engaged in a great conspiracy of iaecrecy.” He said Moss apparently "subscribes to the myth that, for some reason, your defense officials spend all their spare time knitting paper curtains of secrecy around the facts of our military activities.il Moss £%tid Russia announced publicly at least two months in advance that it would launch an earth satellite "as early as Sept. 17 of this year.” Sputnik was put in orbit Oct 4. This information was published in a Russian magazine received at the Library of Congress in early August, Moss said. That Russia would send a dog into space was brought to the Air Force's attention June - 21 by a private American corporation that had been reading other Russian publications, he said. The Russians, he said, revealed in advance .that their satellite would orbit the earth in 90 minutes and told what radio frequency it would use to broadcast its messages. “We do not know whether the military establishment ignored these facts—or, appreciating their value,- ehese -tox-keep the American public in the dark,” Moss said. "We do know, however, that until such ‘public-be-damned information policies are eliminated, JUch incidents will occur again and without end.” Moss called the Pentagon’s security regulations a “smug smog of secrecy.” Wife-KBiller Indicted By Rochester Jury ‘ ROCHESTER (IP) —— A Fulton County grand jury indicted Donald Reno, 47, Tuesday in the pistol slaying of his wife, Dorothy, 43, a month ago.
