Journal-American reports at
a defector from the Soviet KGB'
has told of cells operating in the
CIA and the State Department.T
was stated that he has named
names. It would have been im-i
possible, with the lax security i
regulations from time to time,
for the State Department not to

it would be naive to think that,
'the State Department had nog
Communists in it.
But why has there been no
thorough investigation of this de
partment? 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

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.,!

were cleaned out of the State
Department, and it will not be
a difficult job to find out who

really wants to know, there will

security risks ;~i sensitive spots
can do a trenirndous amount of
