is no reason for an armnents

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.
The House Judiciary commit
tee was scheduled to act on a
similar bill Tuesday.
Quick Action Planned .
Senate leaders planned to act
quickly on the FBI" bill and a
number of other "must" items
this week to clear the way for
the lengthy and bitter battle ex
pected over President Eisen
hower's civil rights program.
GOP leaders, supported by
some northern Democrats, vill
propose some time next week
that the evil rights issue be put
to a vote. Squtherners are ex
pected to start an immediate
filibuster that could last any
where from 10 days to a month
or more.
