l"or six years a Polish agent has
been supplying U.S. intelligence'
agents information which led, to'l
the arrest of several important'
Soviet bloc spies operating outside
The a,ennL cane to the U.S. in }
? 1961 after reportedly having been
in contact with U.S. agents in Po-
land since 1958. First news about
the Polish agent's activities was
published by the New York Jour-
nal-American which described him
as a former high-ranking member
of the Soviet secret police, KGB.
That newspaper's account has
raised some disturbing questions.
It reported the Polish agent in-
formed U.S. intelligence agencies
that Moscow had placed active.
"cells" in the Central Intelligence
'Agency and the State''Uepartment,
both in. Washington and overseas.
The newspaper also listed these
among the agent's allegations: Ap-
proximately $1.2 million of CIA
'funds in Vienna recently was pass-
ed secretly to the Communists; '~
three American scientists with
access to defense secrets are work-
ing for the Soviet KGB; the KGB
has been able to infiltrate all Amer-
ican embassies in important cities
abroad- and "every U.S. agency
except the FBI".
These are critical charges. The
FBI and CIA have refused to com-.
ment on any aspect of the case.
Presidential Press Secretary Pierre
Salinger said "the White House
doesn't comment on intelligence
matters."
While some unnamed "sources"
are quoted as disputing these alle-:
,ations, now that they're out in the";
per it appears the American -pub-;+
is is entitled to a better answer'
han "no comment."
