FBI Queried
Official Before
Fatal Plunge
NEW YORK, Dec. 21 Whitta
ker Chambers, admitted former
communist courier, denied today
that any secret papers had been
passed to him by Laurence Dug
gan,, former state department offi
cial who died in a 16-story plunge
last night.
Chambers also said he did not
know Duggan. He described Dug
gan's death as a "shocking thing."
Duggan, 43, a state department
official 14 years and for the past
two years, president of the Insti
tute of International Education,
leaped or fell from a window of
his 16th floor office just off Fifth
avenue.
After Duggan's death, the house
un-American activities committee
released testimony by Isaac Don
Levine, magazine editor and
friend of Chambers, bringing Dug-
gan's name into the committee's
espionage probe. Levine testified
about a 1939 conference between
Chambers and Adolf A. Berle, jr.,
assistant secretary of state. Levine
; aitenaea tne meeiing.
j chambers Mentioned
A transcript of the testimony
I showed Levine testified that
: chambers mentioned Duggan as
one of six pers0ns in the state de
nartment who "at different times
passed confidential information
along." Levine also said Cham
bers mentioned Duggan's name
"in connection with the transmis
sion of papers."
Chambers corrected this today
in talking to newsmeVi outside the
quarters of the federal grand Jury
here. The grand jury is also hold
ing a spy inquiry.,
Did Not Involve B-urgan
"It would be more proper to
say that I mentioned six people,"
Chambers explained. "I mention
ed Mr- Duggan. But I did not men
tion all those people as having
turned over those papers. I did not
name Mr. Duggan as passing over
papers to me."
A federal government official
said Duggan never had been call
ed before the grand Jury now
meeting here or its predecessor
which indicted Alger Hiss, anoth
er one-time state department of
ficial. Late today, however, the FBI
disclosed here that it questioned
Duggan about 10 days ago. Result
of i-the questioning was not dis
closed. Before Chambers disavowed the
charge against Duggan, the latter's
wife denied "totally and complete
ly" that her husband had given
Chambers any information.

Business Zone Changes
Recommended by Board
By Robert
City Editor.
Creation of two small business
court, a 25-foot street connecting
were recommended to the city council Tuesday night by the 'Salem
planning and zoning commission.
The new business zones, if ap
proved by the council, would per
mit erection of a new Shell service
station on the site of an old sta
tion at Capitol and Market streets
and would permit development of
business property fronting 92 feet
on South Commercial at Oak
streets. No objections to either
zone change, from the present
residential zoning, were presented
at hearings last night.
Asks Court Vacated
The Calmar court vacation was
recommended, over the objections
of some nearby property owners,
on the understanding a new 50
foot street will be dedicated in the
new residential development plan
ned there by Descoe Blunt and
Wilbur Tripp. This street would
enter the property from 15th
street and would have a turn
around at the end, near what Is
now Calmar court.
Commissioners pointed out that
Calmar court Is unimproved and
little used. No houses or garages
are on Calmar. although proper
ties of some 16th street residents
who objected extend back to Cal
mar court.
The zoning commission also
eaVe tentative approval to two
suggested zone changes on which
public hearings will be held Jan

representing nearby property own-
ers are submitted by January J.
