Officer Being Sought
Information
Claimed Given
Without Permit
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
State Department is attempting
to tire one of Its security om
cers, reportedly for giving con
fidential information to a Senate
committee without authorization
from his superiors.
State Department spokesmen
said a "letter of charges" was
given Monday to Otto F. Otepka
48, chief of the evaluations di
vision of the department's se
curity office. The division deals
with personnel security.
Robert Morris, former chief
counsel for the Senate internal
security subcommittee, said in
Dallas, Tex., Thursday that
Otepka was accused of giving
documents marked conliden
tial" and "for official use only
to J. G. Sourwine, the subcom
mittee's present chief counsel.
Given 10 Days
Replying to Morris's state
ment, State Department spokes
men said Otepka had been given
10 days to answer the charges
or face dismissal. They would
not say whether the charges had
anything to do with the subcom
mittee. "The department does not
make public charges against
employees," said press officer
Kirhard I. Phillips.
The subcommittee has been
investigating various sections of
the State Department, including
its security, passport and visa
operations. Otepka has appear
ed as a witness numerous times
in response to committee re
quests and with approval of the
State Department.
Otepka was not available for
comment.
Order Still on Books
The executive branch of gov
ernment has from time to time
invoked the doctrine of "execu
tive privilege" to withhold in
formation from Congress. There
is still on the books an execu
tive order signed by President
Harry t. Truman March 13,
1948, barring disclosure to Con
gress of individual government
loyalty investigations.
Under the order "all reports.
records and files relative to the
loyalty of employees or prospec
tive employees . . , shall be
maintained in confidence and
shall not be transmitted or dis
closed except as required In the
efficient conduct of business."
Employees are instructed to
refer any subpoenas for such
information to the White House.

Learns Viet Nam
War Going Well
SAIGON, South Viet Nam
(UPI) Defense Secretary
Robert S. McNamara and Gen
Maxwell D. Taylor reported re-
ceiving optimistic accounts of
South vict Nam s war against
the Communists, tourned anotn
er battle area today.
Although McNamara and TaV'
lor, chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, are in their third
day in Viet Nam, they have not
yet scheduled a meeting with
President Ngo Dinh Diem.
Diem's crackdown on the Bud
hists is one of the reasons the
defense chiefs were sent here.
They are finding out if morale
in Diem's largely Buddhist
army has been harmed by the
campaign against the Buddhist
leaders and if the Communists
are benefitting.
Assistant Secretary of Defense
Arthur Sylvester told newsmen
Thursday that the reports being
received by McNamara and
Taylor show that the guerrilla
war is going well despite the
Buddhist issue.
"There has been no noticeable
effect on morale, inteligence op
erations, and determination to
get the job done," he said.
McNamara and Taylor met
Thursday with the U.S. consul
in Hue, the former Vietnamese
capital and Buddhist religious
center. Diem's troubles with the
Buddhists began in Hue last
May, when demonstrators were
fired on and several killed.
People living in the Hue dis
trict formed the hard core of
the Buddhist movement against
the government this spring and
summer.
Today's schedule included a
series of visits to bases of the
2nd Vietnamese Army Corps,
which guards the Central High
lands.
Arrest of Youths
Clears Burglaries
With the arrest of four teen
age Shady Cove boys this month
by Oregon state police, a num
ber of burglaries and car prowls
in the area were cleared.
Now that the police have re
covered a number of items
which had been stolen, the boys
have been unable to tell offi
cers where some of the items
were taken.
Burglaries cleared with the
arrests were the Stockton resi
dence. Shady Cove Market and
Rogue Dale Market. Articles re
covered by police and still un
claimed include a small radio,
flashlights, lantern, and cloth
ing. Persons in the Shady Cove
area who had items taken from
their cars during a three week's
period prior to Sept. 18 may
contact the state police office
in Mcdford.
One Driver Cited

Three non-injury vehicle acci
dents were investigated in Mod

President Waves Uranium Wand
To Launch Project at Hanford
HANFORT) (UPI) - Presi
dent Kennedy ushered in the age
of atomic electricity Thursday
with a wave of a uranium-tipped
wand.
More than 30,000 persons
broiled under a brutual sun for
about three hours to be present
for the historic occasion here.
Kennedy used the atomic
pointer to start a 60-ton crane
and scoop shovel, which actual
ly turned the first earth for
construction of a powerhouse
to produce 860,000 kilowatts of
firm electricity.
"I assume this was actually
on the level and that there was
nobody over there," Kennedy
quipped as he gestured to the
crane.
In Dusty Area
The ceremony took place in a
dusty area beside the Columbia
river. The crowd began to ar
rive before noon and long be
fore the President arrived, the
spectators were standing shoul
der to shoulder across the hot,
dry desert.
It was not a demonstrative
crowd. They cheered only in
frequently. But the fact that
they came at all, 37 miles from
the nearest town, attested to the
sense of history.
The audience was liberally
sprinkled with children.
The power plant scheduled for
construction here will use steam
to turn giant turbines. The
steam is a by-product of the
production of weapons - grade
plutonium in an atomic reactor.
The entire reactor will cost
$105 million, with about $25 mil
lion associated specifically with
the electric generating facilities.
which are scheduled to begin
producing power by October,
1965.
Although Kennedy's trip was
billed as a nonpolitical one, it
was the Democrats' day. Shar
ing the speakers stand with the
President were Gov. Albert D.
Rosellini and the state's two
U.S. senators, Warren G. Mag-
Gambling Raids
Net 129 Persons
WASHINGTON (UPI) -Government
agents staged a 50
state "flash" raid on gamblers
Thursday, arresting 129 persons
and confiscating $35,000.
A spokesman for the Internal
Revenue Service said 146 gam
bling dens were raided in 53 J
cities. The raiders confiscated
37 coin-operated machines and
nine cars.
However, when the raids were
over, seven arrest warrants !
were still outstanding. :
Hundreds of agents were in-'
volved in the raids, the IRS
said. All of the raids were syn
chronized. At 2:30 p.m. (edt) the ;
agents hit the gambling loca-!
tions in the first large-scale I
raids on gamblers since May 4
when 115 persons were arrested j
in 43 cities.
The tax agents usually con
centrate on horse booking par
lors and on the numbers racket.
However, at this time of the
year raids usually net some foot
ball and baseball pools.
.nuson and Henry M. Jackson.
I All are Democrats.
I No Republicans were on the
stand, although Rep. Catherine
May (R-Wash.) was praised in
absentia for her part in the con
gressional fight to win authori
zation for the Hanford electric
project.
Kennedy noted that it was un
usual for a President to visit a
remote spot in the desert like
the Hanford Reservation. But
these are unusual times, he
said.
The President said the Han
ford Atomic Energy Works was
built 20 years ago to help with
the development of the atomic
bomb, "the giant sword which
ended the Second World War.
"Now, on this same site, and
with these same scientific skills,
a nation dedicated to living in
peace is forging not a sword but
a plow share," Kennedy said in
his prepared speech.
The President said the Han
ford project was "a partnership
in a very real sense between the
national government and local
communtiy." The electric facili
ties will stimulate the economy
of the Northwest, he said, and
"as the northwest United States
rises, so does the entire coun
try." Jackson compared the Han
ford electric project with Grand
Coulee dam. He said proponents
of both projects had to wage
bitter congressional fights be
fore they became realities.
Hanford will produce about
half as much electricity as
Grand Coulee.
About 21,000 Americans art
killed by accidental falls each
year, and one-half of the victim
are 65 or more years old.
