This was certain to be key topic in two congressional investiagtions of the defection to Russia of Bcrnon F. Mit chell and William H. Martin employees of the top secret national security agency Mitchell and Martin, long time bachelor pals, were said in a published report to have fled to Moscow when a U.S. and NATO investigation of the U2 episode narrowed down to the cryptographic room where they worked. Tipped on Flights The New York Mirror said it learned from intelligence sources that the inquiry look ed into the possibility that someone told the Russians how to break U.S. codes so they could find out where U2 planes were flying or that someone tipped the Russians on the reconnaissance flights. A U2 was downed far In side Russia May 1. The pilot, Francis Gary Powers, con fessed to spying and was sen tenced by a Moscow court to 10 years confinement. Russia used the incident to wreck the Paris summit conference and step up the cold war. The Mirror said in a dis patch from Washington that Martin and Mitchell com plained to a congressman be fore the May summit confer ence about U.S. spy flights over Russia. Rep. Wayne L. Hays, (D-Ohio) indicated he probably was the lawmaker involved. Reports Visit Th newspaper said the con gressman reported the visit to the State Department which relayed the story to the U.S.-NATO investigators. Chairman Francis E. Walter (D-Pa.) of the House Commit tee on un-American Activities, which will hold one of the Martin - Mitchell investiga tions, linked the men with the U2 case last week. : Walter said Thursday Mit chell and Martin were known to their acquaintances as "sex deviates."

Campaign Quotes By UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL Vice President Richard M. Nixon (views relayed by press secretary Herbert G. Klein, while Nixon remained in a Wash ington hospital): "We don't regard religion as an issue. The vice Dresident has taken the attitude that the best way to keep it from becoming an issue is for the candidates not to discuss it." Nixon "doesn't believe a man's religion is any bar to public office. He doesn't believe anyone should endorse him on the basis of the religious issue." Nixon (letter to Sen. John Sherman Cooper, R-Ky.): 'I wholly support the present tobacco program and- if elected president, I will recommand that it be continued without change. Sen. John F. Kennedy (aboard campaign train in Cali fornia): "There is no new Republican party and no old Re publican party.

S. code clerk has invited his parents to visit him in Russia. The invitation was contain ed in a cable which Bernon F. Mitchell, 31. Thursday sent to his father, Emery F. Mitch ell, 65, attorney. Mitchell said it was the first message he had had from his son since he and another code clerk, William Martin, Ellensburg, Wash., went to Russia several weeks ago. Text of the cable: "Dear father, if 1 have any regrets in leaving the United States and defecting to the Soviet Union, they only con cern the resulting harassment and suffering you and mother must be enduring. Speaks of Courage Your refusal to join in the chorus of , public condemna tion led by the United States administration until you have had a chance to hear from me directly speaks of your faith and courage. No son could ever hope to know a more loyal father. Yet the contin uance of such loyalty without an understanding and accept ance of our differences would, I feel, be needlessly painful to both of us. "Your trust in the United States administration and equal distrust of the Soviet Union is not shared by me. Your honest efforts in the accumulation of a small for tune in common stock all seem to me consistent with your unfailing support of the Republican party. "My sentiments arc pressed in the statement I have prepared to explain our actions. Extendi Invitation "If these differences in our outlook are understood, then please accept my invitation for you and mother to visit me In the Soviet Union. I shall meet you half way In the cost of the trip. This can be ar ranged by witing me. Love Bernon." The elder Mitchell indicat ed he and his wife would not visit their son. Nor was he decided whether to answer the son's cable. He refused to give the son's address. "What can we say? What can we do?" th distraught father aaid.
