Y'ARS AN' J . , WE HAIN'T NO G 1 Coast Guard Officer's Commission Held Up For Security Reason Washinteon (U.R) The Coast Guard disclosed another "Landy Case" yesterday, one in which a commission has been withheld from a Coast Guard officer can didate for security reason involv ing his mother. . The man was identified as Ap prentice Seaman Norton Pierre Gaston of San Francisco, who was graduated eighth in his class April 1 at the Officer Candidate School of the Coast Guard Acad emy, New London, -Conn. A Cost Guard official said that "in getting his background and security information, there has been a delay in granting his commission." The Coast Guard refused to give any details of security find ings except that they concerned Gaston's mother. In a similar case, the Navy recently denied a commission to Eugene W. Landy, 21, honor graduate of the U. S. Merchant Marine Academy, on the grounds that his mother once was a Com munist. Senators, congressmen and others have interceded on Landy's behalf, and Navy Sec retary Charles S. Thomas an nounced Aug. 6 that he would personally make a 'full and im partial" investigation of ' the Landy case. Gaston's attorney said that Gaston's mother, Mrs. Jean. Grisez of San Francisco, "was never accused of being a Com munist" but was accused of hav ing been a member of several or ganizations on the attorney gen eral's so-called subversive list. Case Being Studied At San Francisco, Mrs. Grisez declined to comment on the case. She said she would issue no statement until she had con ferred with her attorney. A security screening board has already passed on the Gaston case and referred it to a local security board which is now con sidering the case here. A review board will go over the case when the local board finishes, the Coast Guard said, and the secretary of treasury and the commandant of the Coast Guard will review it afterward. Gaston. 23, who graduated in June, 1954 from the University of California, finished eighth in his Officer Candidate School class. Gaston declined to comment on the case.
