(8 6torr on Sag 12) 52nd Year Medfo United Press Full I - 26 Pages Measure Tt Inspection of FBI Files Approved Senate Committee Vote Unanimous Washington OPi The Senate Judiciary committee approved quickly and unanimously today a bill to limit the right of crimi nal defendants to inspect FBI files. The measure, rushed to the Senate for possible passage this week, grew out of the recent Su preme Court decision that the government in certain criminal cases must make available to defendants FBI reports supplied by informers whom the govern ment calls "as witnesses against them. Bill Said Necessary Attorney General Herbert Brownell Jr. said the bill was necessary to prevent wrecking law enforcement by too strict in terpretation of the ruling. It would let federal judges ex amine FBI files and submit to defendants only such material as is relevant to a particular case. If the government balked at pro ducing the files, the judge could strike out the -witnesses' testi mony or declare a mistrial.
