McNamara Is Accused Of Disservice to U.S.
WASHINGTON — (UPI)— Chairman John E. Moss of the House Government Information subcommittee today accused Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara of committing "a gross disservice" to the United States with his statements on military information.
MOSS VOICED the criticism following publication of testimony in which McNamara said he was shocked by the amount of military information made public and that he was tightening defense department security restrictions.
The Defense Department later issued a statement saying McNamara did not mean to mislead the American people but only the Russians.
But Moss said McNamara's statement before the Senate Armed Services committee "expressed an attitude which while not news is nevertheless most alarming."
"ADVOCACY OF a program of misinformation," he said, "constitutes a grave disservice to a nation already confused and suffering from informational malnutrition."
Moss said the "American people are mature and reliable. They respond correctly when informed correctly."
"The secretary suggests," Moss said, "moving silently in extending control of information. I want to assure him that however silently he moves the subcommittee I head and the American public will be watching."

Radio Warsaw said its information was based on predictions by "Moscow scientific circles."
Mufflers and Tailpipes Installed Free Open 24 hrs. with mechanic on duty Brakes Rellined.
According to Soviet scientific experts, the broadcast said, the new flight will be much more advanced technically and scientifically than the first one.
One of the astronauts to make the trip would probably be Major Yurn Gagarin since he was the only Soviet citizen who has had practical experience in space, the broadcast added.

It is also possible, it said, that the second Soviet flight will circle the earth several times instead of just once. In that case, it added, the astronauts would have to remain in orbit for more than 10 hours.
AEC Funds Bring KU Spectrometer
A $90,000 spectrometer, used for research in high temperature physical chemistry, will be installed at KU this week.
In 1959, the Atomic Energy Commission granted funds for the instrument and research to be led by Paul W. Gilles, professor of chemistry.
The instrument identifies individual molecules that are produced in high temperature vaporization experiments and measures the concentration of these molecules.
Prof. Gilles said, "No other piece of equipment we could buy or build would be more valuable in giving us this information."

He said that the instrument will be used in basic research on the fundamental properties of matter.
"But the practical consequences of high temperature chemistry research can be seen in its important relation to nuclear power generation, rocket propulsion and the re-entry of missiles," said Prof. Gilles.
