Intelligence Set-Up Held Difficult But Necessary Resigns Post Br CLARKE BEACH ' WASHINGTON, July 10 (IP) Does the United Statei plan network of undercover agents abroad? How far is our government able and willing to go? It would be naive to expect direct answers from the depart ments concerned, but certain facta and altitudes can be learned. "If we are to have a spy sys tem, it is not going to be in the state department," says Dr. Wil liam L. Langcr, who is in charge of that department's research and intelligence. "Our people are not going to be doing any gumshoe work or ducking around corners. Ambas sadors and their staffs can't do dirty Jobs like that It would compromise their position, as diplomats." Intelligence officers in the Explosion Rips Longview Area LONGVIEW, July 10 (JP) A terrific gas blast that rocked the Longview-Kelso area during the early morning hours injured three persons and spread destruc tion through the Western Gas company plant and the Ecco Frozen Foods company building here. Most seriously injured in the explosion was Ted Pare, who was burned about the head and body. Others hurt were William Allen; night foreman at the Ecco plant, and Maude Williamson, who was packing berries at the plant Both sustained cuts from flyine slass. Fire Chief H. M. Clarke said the blast apparently resulted from a leak in the gas plant equipment History Tour Due On Sunday The Siskiyou Historical society has invited all interested Klam ath people to join them in a historical tour leaving Yreka, Calif., Sunday, July 14, at 9 a. m. After dedication exercises at Ft. Jones at 10 a. m. the group will visit the old site of the Hudson's Bay company. Also on the sightseeing list is an old arrastra in Quartz valley and the first flour mill in Siskiyou county. The jaunt will be ended with a picnic at the Etna camp gounds. Mrs. G. D. Grizzle, 927 Jeffer son, is in charge of arrangements for any Klamath county people who wish to travel to Yreka for the trip. army and navy have the same point of view. Their representa tives abroad are .chiefly military and naval attaches accredited to American embassies and lega tions. If their activities offended the governments with which they were working they would have to be recalled. Navy Shies Off "Our naval attaches must sot their information through legiti mate means." says Commodore Charles J. Rend, acting chief of naval intelligence. War depart ment intelligence officials feel the same way. The central intelligence group, the over-all intelligence agency, which works directly under the new national intelligence author ity, has no personnel abroad and very little in Washington. It is still in the organizing stage. The state, war and navy de partments, however, do have hundreds of civilian employes in intelligence. The departments say they are mainly specialists, I such as engineers, economists and sociologists, retained to make exipert analyses of intelli gence data and to provide pro fessional guidance to those re sponsible for plans and policies. The truth seems to De tnat Uncle Sam does little if any undercover work in foreign countries. Extensive War Activities During the war of course the army, navy and office of strate gic service (OSS) carried on ex tensive spying and sabotaging. Usually they worked with re sistance movements, such as those in Korea, China, Burma, the Philippines, the Southwest Pacific, Africa, Yugoslavia, France and the Netherlands. But such activities have ended. When OSS was dissolved last fall the state department took over its research branch, includ ing about 500 historians, geogra phers, anthropologists, and other specialists. This is the unit which Dr. Langer is organizing. The wartime international sleuths of OSS, now designated the strategic services unit, have been transferred to the war de partment They have valuable files and highly trained person nel, but the unit's future is un certain. Some intelligence experts be lieve that a system of secret agents is necessary to supple ment the work of the attaches, diplomats and official observers but they foresee great difficulty in establishing it. Americans are traditionally opposed to spying on other coun tries with which they are at peace. And nothing could be done without appropriations from congress.

Ellsworth (R-Ore) asserted today it is doubtful if congress will pass a price control bill thai will do moro than hold down rents and possibly the price of a few commodities. Ho said that would be the re sult if the absence of controls does not rvault In "skyrocket" inflation but warned In his state ment that "on the other hand if prices do advancn alarmingly controls will go on again even more binding than before." Ellsworth said that it was the opinion of "most members with whom I have talked" that Presi dent Truman expected congress lo overrltio his veto of tho price control legislation. "He apparently took a long gamble on that expectation and lost," Ellsworth said. "Uy veto ing the bill, and then having congress override his veto, Tru man could have disclaimed any responsibility for the accumulat ed and future failures of Ol'A. That foolish Idea backfired, l'rrs Ident Truman, by his veto, creat ed the present uncontrolled sit uation and will, therefore, be re sponsible for whatever action is taken In the near future."
