Oen, Brownell ruled Thursday Uiat neither an FBI report on security risks at Ft. Monmouth, N. J nor a document from Ben. McCarthy should be msde public. He ssld the senator's psper msde "unsu thorlted use" of secret material In the FBI report. Both documents have been sub jects of bitter controversy at hear ings by the Senate subcommittee investigating Uie Army-McCarthy row. Brownell made his ruling In a letter to subcommittee Chair man Mundt (R-6D). Brownell ssld both documents contain confidential Information and It would be "contrary to the public Interest" to make them pub lic. He added that a check with the FBI shows Uie FBI never author ized Uie release of any of Uie In- lormation, except to two generals who received Uie original FBI memorandum on Jan. 36, 1051. Brownell's letter wss resd at the close of a stormy forenoon ses sion of Uie Senate subcommittee during which McCarthy once cried "perjury" at Secretary Stevens and Democratic senators celled for prosecutions ss a result of what one of them celled McCarthy's "irsudulenl letter." The attorney general ssld It is Important to Uie FBI's "vital work" Uiat Uie agency be free to exchange Information with other government departments without fesr that classified Information would be msde public.

B. M. TutUe, chairman of Uie economic disaster committee of the Rogue River Valley Traffic Assn., said Uie request was for warded to Uie Portland office of Uie Farmers Home Administration lrom Uie Grants Pass ofllce. He said It was accompanied by documents to show the need. An estimated 65 to 75 per cent of Jackson snd Josephine counties' orchard crops were destroyed by the freeze. The vslley's orchard crop most ly pears but with some peaches and apricots has an annual value of about 15 million dollars. Tuttle estimated that about 1 million doUsrs in loans from the government agency will be needed. This Is based on a need for $100 an acre this year to care for the trees and keep them in shape for next yesr, and $400 next yesr when there will be a crop as well as trees to care for. . The need is believed to be about 6 million, but half of It is expected to be taken care of by banks and other local financial agencies. Only growers who were hit hard by Uie freeze and who have a record of production that suggests ability to repay, would be eligible for the loans. Before the Farmers Home Ad ministration can approve loans. Agriculture Secretary Benson must declare the valley a disaster area.

But Uie hope for quick action faded with the lack of agreement on Uie chairmanship and the fact delegates from Cambodia, partner of Viet Nam and Laos in Uie as sociated states of Indochina, have not arrived in Geneva. A Paris crisis over Uie Indochina wsr situation competed for the at tention of toe diplomats in Ge neva, The fate of Premier Joseph Lanlel's government was tied to a vote of confidence in Uie French National Assembly, Experts predicted that, after hours of debate, Laniel would win.
