"in response to Soviet pressures
and truculence.'

in this country last October after
their ship, bound for Red China
with a load of iet fuel, was caD-

state department official and an
immigration service officer, nei

decided upon when it was learned
the seamen were about to redefect.

' which could be used for criminal
action."
The state department official said
each of the seamen was inier
viewed separately at the airport.
Subcommittee counsel Robert
Morris, questioning the immigra

two of the seamen who lived in
Paterson, N. J., had testified that
two Soviet UN officials had ap
peared at their house on the night
of April 5 ana leu me nen "'"
ing with the seamen.
Signs of Violence
He recalled the landlord's testi
mony that the seamen's room was
in "wild disarray," that a bloody
shirt and undershirt were found,
and that there were other' evi
dences of violence.
"Was that information available
to the immigration authorities?"
Morris asked. "It was not, sir,"
the officer replied.
