Coast Guard
Rescues Heart
Attack Victim
8 AN FRANCISCO Iff - A Coast
Guard helicopter Sunday rescued
a Spokane man, M-year-old Clyde
0. McCafferty, who had suffered
a heart attack aboard the fishing
vessel Blue BeD seven miles off
Point Bonita, Just north of the
Golden Gate. -
The cooler landed McCafferty
at San Francisco's Civic Center,
only a block from Central Emer
gency Hospital, where he received
quick treatment and, Sunday aft
ernoon, was reported in "fair con
dition." IX Cmdr. James L. Hipison,
who received the emergency call,
flew his 'copter to the Blue Bell
and lowered a wire basket stretch
er for the sick man. McCafferty
was strapped In and inadvertent
ly dunked la the ocean.
. Cmdr. Harrison Mid the dunk
ing occurred while raising the
stretcher. The pilot's inter-communications
system was Jammed
by another transmitter and, un
able to hear directions from bis

- vertently lowered into the witer
once before being lifted Into the
'copter. .'--"T - ' :' '
McCafferty had left Berkeley
Yacht Harbor in the morning with
bis brother-in-law for a day of
fishing.
light Sunday in an exchange of
correspondence between Rep.
Moss (D-Calif), chairman of the
House Freedom of Information
Committee, and Rep. Mahon D-
Tex), chairman of the Defense ap-
propriatioiu subcommittee.
Moss, in reply to questions, sua
the defense establishmnet had at
tempted to use a committee re
port accompanying last year's ap
propriation bill "as a convenient
screen to hide behind" in handling
information. 1
"It was clearly the intent of the
appropriations committee to ex
press disapproval. of the release of
information about weapons and
plans, but it was broadly interpret
ed by the Defense Deportment to
apply to virtually all types of in
formation,' he sud.
BrlsUlag Directive
As a result, the appropriations
committee in its latest report this
month included a bristling direct
ive to military officials not to con
strue its comments "as a cover up
for inefficiencies and weakness of
administration."
The crackdown had its Inception
in an appropriations report of last
year criticizing the release of what
the committee deemed to be mili
tary secrets.' The report conclud
ed: "too much information has
been released which is of no bene
fit to the American public, but
which, is of tremendous value to
our opponents. "
Moss - committee members In
vestigating suppression of informs'
tion by government agencies were
subsequently surprised to have
this wordage cited back to them
authority for withholding Infor
mation. '
News Held ' '
When Investigators check with
Mahon. he retorted it was "un
pardonable that government agen
cies are seeking to hide behind
that part of the report to sup
press legitimate information for
Congress and the press."
In Its report of this May 3. the
appropriations committee said it
wanted "to reiterate the concern
expressed last year over the con
tinued leaks and premature dis
closures of our military secrets."
To this, it added pointedly:
"The committee trusts that the
language of this paragraph will
not be used by the Department of :
Defense or other government agen
cies as a reason for withholding
legitimate information from the
press and public, nor should this
paragraph be used as a coverup
for inefficiencies and weaknesses
of administration."
Moss said this should "serve no
tice on all departments that they
cannot use the language In last
year's report to evade giving out
legitimate information.
He added in an interview that
the Defense Department action
was an example of how other
agencies try to "dig up alleged
authorities' for withholding Inform
ation from the public.
"They are all too ready to grab
any convenient screen to hide be
hind," he said, adding:
'It also places a responsibility
on Congress to spell out more spec
ifically its atittude on any informa
tion practice."

plans for calling I halt to veter

In a memorandum dated May
IS. Wilson said the work of the
Army and Air Force veterinary
corps the Navy has none
"should be reassigned or discon
tinued or obtaioed by contractual
arrangements" with other federal
agencies. ,
The order came more than three
wears after Wilson said publicly
he couldn t see much reison for
having veterinarians long after the
military had retired most of their
I animals.
The Army . has long since re
, tired its last ca airy chargers and
I few horses retained are used only
I for ceremonial occasions such as
i military funerals.
Both the Army and Air Force
use sentry dogs, but for normal
care the services depend on the
dog trainers.
' The major activity of military
veterinarians in recent years has
; been the inspection of meat and
j food an assignment that perhaps
; wilt be transferred to the Depart
' ment of Agriculture.
Wilson's memo noted another
"current practice' medical care
for the private pets of servicemen
and their families.
Use of uniformed veterinarians
to look after dogs ind cats, he
said, is "justifiably open to criti
cism, except in emergencies, and
should be discontinued."
