“Row Over Security -
O-

dled recent security disclo-
sures, These were topped by
yesterday's revelation that!
diptomat-turned-newsmen Har-
ie Philby was the mysteffous)
“third man” who warned ren-
legade diplomats Guy Burgess
land Donald Maclean to flee
England in 1951.
Burgess and Maclean have
been in Moscow since and
Philby is believed to have
slipped across the Iron Cur-
tain since he disapppeared
from Beirut last January.
Commons Stunned
News that Philby, once first
secretary of the British em-
bassy in Washington and be-
lieved head of security there,
has actually been a Sovict
agent stunned the House of
‘Commons. When Macmillan
was Forcign Scerctary in 1955
he had said there was no evi-
dence against Philby.
Verbal sword-crossing in
‘Commons first started when
a Conservative member of
Parliament asked Macmillan
if he planned to appoint a
Minister of security. '
The Prime Minister repticd,
that he would have to await)
the result of a judicial in-|
quiry into the John Profumo-
Christine Keeler - Yevgeny
Ivanov affair before deciding,
Wilson then asked if Mac-
millan would appoint a new
judicial inquiry into the Phil-
by affair “assuming you have
lenough” judges to go around.”
He charged Macmillan with
ducking questions.
The Prime Minister replied
angrily that “the questions
you have put to me were com-
plicated and offensive.”
He continued:
“If we are to reach a situa-'
tion when every success of
the security services is treated!
as a failure, we are going toj
have a vested interest in not}
Gistuvermg a failure.” ———
