Dear Editor:
vans- v.
+a defector from the Soviet KGB
has told of cells operating in the;
CIA and the State Department.
tivas stated that he has named~
names. It would have been im-i
possible, with the lax security i
regulations from time to time,l
for the State Department not to
have been infiltrated by Com?
,munists. They have been work-;
ng for decades in America andi
it would be naive to think that
the State Department had nod
-Communists in it. `i
But why has there been no'
!thorough investigation of this de-,,
1partment? Why is it that men
(like Otepka have tried to do
something that they, not the se-
curity risks (and all security'
risks are not Communists but,
all Communists are holes In our,
security program), are usually
the ones who are punished one'
way or another? .
President Johnson has given
no indication that he plans to
conduct such an investigation.
The only possibility that I
,know of is the election of Sen..,
Goldwater. If the security risks
were cleaned out of the State
Department, and it will not be
a difficult job to find out who
they a"o if an administration
really wants to know, there will'
he soir- chr.nni:,"s for the better!,
in our foreii-n policy.
This is not a wholesale indict-i
.went of the '5'..c,te Department:
but it is to say Uhat, even a few'
security risks i-.i sensitive spots
can do a tremendous amount of.
