JOURNAL m. 49,784 S. 7O,8t5 Front Echt O:her ?ZEJW Pa{t; Page Data: MAR 4 1964 ._Y-_S' 1URBI G QUEST10NS 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."
