Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) House Speaker Carl Albert is uncertain why President Ford offered to help track down the person who leaked the House intelligence committee's final report, so he isn't rushing to accept the offer. White House Press Secretary Ron Nessen said Thursday that Ford was offering Albert the full cooperation of the government in tracking down the source of the leak. But an aide said Albert could not tell if Ford's offer was a simple good-faith offer or a political one.

So, Albert decided to make no immediate response, the aide said. "He decided that if the President is serious about it, he'll probably follow up personally," the aide said. Nessen said Ford had offered Albert "all services and resources of the executive branch" to help find out who provided segments of the secret report to the weekly Village Voice, which published them. In making the offer of assistance, Nessen said Ford believes the report was leaked by someone in Congress. Members of the House panel have suggested the CIA or the Ford administration leaked it.

Asked if Ford's offer included FBI and Internal Revenue Service agents, Nessen replied: "You need to go ask Carl Albert." Newsmen pressing Albert's office for a comment the rest of the day finally were told that Albert would have none. Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger, meanwhile, accused the House committee of so distorting secret information in the final report as to present over-all "a vicious lie." "What we are facing is a new form of McCarthy ism," Kissinger said at a news conference Thursday. Misuse of secret in- Pellet is fired at Paris home A northwest Paris woman reported to city officers Thursday that someone had fired what apparently was either a pellet or BB through her residence. The woman told officers she had been caring for her baby in her front room when the pellet entered her front living room through a window.

No one was reported injured in the incident, however, police said. 3390 Clarksville reported to city officers that someone had stolen his CB radio from his vehicle while his vehicle was parked in the underground garage at St. Joseph's Hospital. formation turned over to the panel, Kissinger said, has damaged U.S. foreign policy.

The report accuses Kissinger of pressing for covert operations over CIA and other agency objections, having a "passion for secrecy" and in one case lying. The House report accuses Kissinger of lying when ho said he never holdup reports of alleged Soviet arms agreement violations more than two months. Chairman Otis G. Pike, said at a public hearing the committee found cue report was held up six months The report says Kissinger, as director of the National Security Council, was instrumental in getting approval of the covert aid operation in Angola, even though a task force opposed it. It also says Kissinger approved the CIA's channeling of million to Italian political parties in 1972, despite a report from the CIA's station chief in Rome that the money would do little good in the U.S.

effort to prevent communist election gains in Italy. The Village Voice for the first time published passages of a draft of the report. The New York Times and CBS correspondent Daniel Schorr had publislicd details apparently based on at least a reading of drafts of the report. THERESA E. Jones, alias L.
