Man Tells of Being Forced by
FBI To Rejoin Communist Party
Albuquerque, N.M. (U.R) A
45-year-old former Oakland,
Calif., laborer charged today the
FBI forced him to rejoin the
Communist party here to serve
as' an undercover agent and to
help expose a local Red cell.
The FBI denied the charge.
Cleve Owens said in an affi
davit that Communists are, or
have been, interested in keeping
close touch with employees at
top secret Sandia Atomic Base
here which manufactures the
trigger for the atomic bomb, or
at Kirtland Air Force Base,
whose planes drop the A-bomb.
Sisirt Harassed
Owens' statement followed the
resignation of two sisters, Miss
Mannie Gallegos, 22, and Mrs.
Iola D. Ellis, 24, from their jobs
at Sandia base. They charged
they were harassed because they
had associated with a former
Communist. The former Com
munist turned out to be Owens,
a half-brother.
Owens made his statements in
an affidavit for the Albuquerque
Journal, which first had ex
posed the charges by the sisters.
D. A. Bryce, agent in charge
of the Albuquerque FBI office,
issued a .terse denial.
Owens said he joined the Com
munist party after the local
union to which he belonged
while driving a cab in Oakland

bor Board refused to hear the
drivers' complaints.
In 1951, . he said, he decided
to get out of the party. He and
his .wife came to Albuquerque
when doctors advised them to
take their child to a higher and
drier climate.
Claims Threats Made
Owens started working a milk
delivery route. But he said the
FBI approached him and said
they "needed my cooperation."
He ignored the requests, and two
days later they met him in the
officers' housing division of San
dia Base where he was deliver
ing milk. This, he said, was in
1953.
"At that time one of them (the
FBI agents) jumped out, threw
his coat back as if he would use
his gun if necessary, shoved me
into the car and said 'Now, we're
not fooling around with you. We
want your cooperation'."
, Owens said the FBI warned
that for the welfare of his two
half-sisters, he had better agree
to do what it wanted. He said
the agents threatened him with
arrest by military police and
with exposing his "whole background."

Anti-Aviation
Slant Said'Raw;'
Lee Ouster Probed
Washington U.R) Sen. A. S.
Mike Monroney charged today
that the White House has "sup-
Dressed" a section of a cabinet
level report on transportation
because it is so raw m its
anti-aviation slant.
The Oklahoma Democrat said
his Senate Commerce subcom
mittee on aviation will try to
"flush out" the report to prove
the existence of a ground
clique" in the administration.
Part of Investigation
The subcommittee's interest
is part of its investigation into
the ouster of Frederick B. Lee
as civil aeronautics administra
tor. Monroney has claimed that
Lee was "railroaded" out of the
top CAA post late last year by
a "ground-minded clique head
ed by Commerce Secretary Sin
clair Weeks and Commerce
Undersecretary Louis S. Roths
child. Lee, a Vermont Republican,
was called back before the sub
committee today for his second
day of testimony. The subcom
mittee wanted details of his
conversation with Presidential
Assistant Sherman Adams pre
ceding the White House an
nouncement of Lee's resignation
Drafted by Committee
The controversial transporta
tion reDort. released last April
was drafted by a cabinet-level
Transportation Advisory Com
mittee to the President, headed
by Weeks. The report encount
ered bitter criticism from the
trucking industry for its major
recommendation that federal
regulations be liberalized so as
to give railroads a better chance
to compete with trucking and
water transportation.
Monroney said the aviation
section of the report was "so
raw that I understand the White
House suppressed it."
Weeks thus far has declined
to appear before the subcommit
tee, delegating Rothschild, who
is in charge of transportation
policy in the Commerce Depart
ment, as his spokesman. Mon
roney said the subcommittee
will "re-invite" Weeks to testify
and predicted the commerce sec
retary "may want to come after
we get all the testimony on the
circumstances behind the Lee
ouster."
To Ask ExDlanation
If Weeks does appear, Mon
roney said, he will be asked for
an explanation of Lee's state
ment that there is a "high-level
proposal", to sell the vast government-owned
communications
network of the CAA to Ameri
can Telephone - Telegraph Co.
or Western Union. i
