Records Of Spy Work

WASHINGTON, Sun. (10 a.m.).—The contral intelligence agency reported to Congress that 32 representatives of foreign governments who had been given visas to enter the United States had records of spy work abroad. The agency said that in addition officials had been admitted to the United States. Rear Admiral Roscoe Tillenkoctter. director of the agency, said his report concerned operations of the persons concerned outside the United States, and that information on their activities in the United States would have to be obtained from other Federal Government agencies such as the FBI. Admiral Tillenkoetter's report was made to a Senate sub-committee whicli is studying legislation to prevent alien subversives entering the United States and to expedite the deportation of those now in the country. The deputy Under-Secretary of State (Mr John Peurifoy) told the subcommittee that the department approved the entry of about 10 aliens to the United States, despite recommendations against their entry on the ground of security. In all these cases the State Department decided that the security phase of each case was not sufficient to outweigh other aspects.
