He stated "Because some of the outrageous abuses that have been perpetrated at State over the last few years have not received adequate attention or publicity, I think it is advisable to comment on the situation and offer possible recommendations. The unparalleled successes of Soviet espionage | cver the years should have resulted in a highly refined security system at S:ate, but recent experiences indicate that coverups of security violations anc purges of qualified security personnel have provided a possible fertile field for Communist penetration. "' He set forth information on the Pailby-Burgess-Maclean case as an example and during these comments staied "With recent disclosures in the British press there can remain little doubt as to who was responsible for the intelligence leak in Washington which 80 benefited the Chinese Reds. Philby arrived in Washington as British Baison to the FBI and CIA and in November 1950, Maclean came to Washington as head of the Foreign Office's American department."" Mr. Ashbrook referre¢ to hsarings held by the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee regarding security at the State Department and stated "Had it not been for the persistent eticris of this body, and Otepka's refusal to make a 'deal' with State, mich of the information now made public would have gone uncovered. - - -- A number of months before the subcommittee had completed its hearings, Sexator James Eastland introduced S, 3388 which was designed to corre a number of security problems at the State Department whieh were ore tt ed during the hearings, - - - - Here are the nine provisions of the legislation: ---- Fourth.
