o o Officials Declared Derelict in Duty In Defection Case Washington - (UPB -A house investigator has accused ad ministration officials of gross dereliction of duty for hiring two code clerks who defected to Russia. Chairman Francis E. Wal ter (D-Pa.), of the House Com mittee on un-American Activi ties, made the charge. He said it was common gossip that one of the two men was a "notori ous homosexual." "It just seems to me that the dereliction of the responsibil ity to the security of the Unit ed States is so gross in this case that it ought not to be overlooked," Walter said. To Launch Inveitigaliont Walter's committee and a House armed services subcom mittee both launch investiga tions this week into how the National Security Agency hap pened to hire the two turn coats - Bernon F, Mitchell and William H. Martin. Waller said he was provok ed most by the way the De fense Department and other federal agencies handled the case after Mitchell and Mar tin disappeared last June. He noted that after the men fled, government officials seized a letter they ld left in a Laur el, Md., bank. The letter, he said, told where the men had gone but it was not made public until it had been read at a news conference held by Mitchell and Martin in Moscow. Up to that point, the government had said only that it "believ ed" the men were behind the Iron Curtain, when actually it knew they were in Russia, Walter said. Walter said "there is much to be desired" in the operation of all U. S. intelligence and security agencies. No Espionage Evidence As an example, he said there were indications the Russians had been given ad vance information about the flight of an Air Force RB47 weather plane which they subsequently shot down over the Barents Sea. Wallers suid he had no posi tive evidence that either Mitchell or Marlin had been engaged in espionage activi ties while working for the National Security Agency.

Nixon: "I believe that it would be tragic ... for this election to be determined primarily, or even substantially, on religious grounds." 'I have no doubt whatever about Senator Kennedy's loyally lo nis country ana about the fact that if . he were elected president that he would put the Constitution of the United States above any other considerations. "We are stronger militarily, economically, overall in science, over-all in education than the Soviet Union. "I think that as far as defense spending in concerned that we would all agree that we have to spend what is necessary. This doesn't mean that we give the services a blank check. "The moment you in effect have the federal government paying our teachers in whole or in part, in our public schools, you inevitably give to the federal government the power to set standards for teachers and to control what is taught to tell them what is to be taught." Sen. John F. Kennedy (statement issued In San Diego, Calif., In response to Nixon's suggestion to fix a cut-off date on debate of religion): "I wish we could cut off debate on this subject right now. I think we'd all be better off. How could we possibly improve on the Constitution?" (Also at San Diego): "We lack the invulnerable retaliatory capacity necessary to insure successful deterrence of growing Soviet strength when our country faces its greatest military peril since Valley Forge."

The market tone today was obviously one of caution as traders attempted to assess whether the list was moving toward another test of its 1960 lows or whether a period of base-forming is in the cards.
