There is some feeling the subject might be taken up in the United Nations at an early date to avoid long delays surrounding overall disarmament mcves. But no U. S. decision has been made.

Says Never Refused Files Doerfer has insisted that he violated no laws in accepting fees and travel expense monday from industry groups while drawing government per diem pay and travel expenses. ’Earlier Schwartz sought to challenge the "credibility” of Doerfer’s denials of wrongdoing. He said Doerfer’s protests about his alleged mistreatment by the subcommittee. investigators raised this question. The subcommittee counsel said Doerfer’s attitude at the time he was questioned last fall by staff investigators and his “failure” to “cooperate" would show “a consciousness of guilt.” Schwartz asked Doerfer whether he had " ever refused to show FCC files to the subcommittee's investigators Doerfer replied emphatically that he had not. Schwartz then asked that subcommittee chief investigator Baron Shacklette be put on the sf&nd to answer the same question. —Doerfer said he -would welcome Shacklette’s testimony and asked permission to cross - examine Shacklette when he was put on the stand. “Smear and Discredit” Subcommittee Chairman Morgan M.
