The secretary also cut down the number of military and civilian officials authorized to stamp documents "top secret." And he asserted that differences among the Armed Forces dare fact of natural manifestation of a vigorous defense organization." WILSON issued comprehensive new directives to carry out proposals of the Coolidge committee on classified information. He had set up the committee under former Assistant Defense Secretary Charles A. Coolidge last year to seek means of stopping leaks of secret information which he considered alarming. The new directives called for stern disciplinary action against military men and Government contractors who let real security information become public. In "extreme cases." businesses could lose out on future contracts and even be prosecuted if they release secret information.

Wilson strongly attacked the problem of "overclassification" in line with the Coolidge committee recommendation to "cease attempts to do the im-1 possible and stop classifying information which cannot be held secret." (Classification in Govetnment language means to make information secret or Trying to hide an airplane or missile which has reached the stage where it is in public view is "an empty gesture."

But The Aga Khan's shrunken body now lies at a slight tilt in a temporary white marble tomb in the flower banked rear courtyard of his Nileside villa near Aswan. It has already cost his family and mourning Ismaili Moslem followers at least 000 in travel costs and expenses to get it there. Before the late spiritual leader's coffin is removed to an imposing new $420,000 mausoleum on a nearby black sand hillock probably by 1959 the Ismailis will have spent an estimated one million dollars for what they call "final love and respect" for the man they re. garded as 48th direct line descendant of the prophet Mohammed.

Jury To Get Clinton Case On Tuesday KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (P) An all white jury from the hill country of Tennessee faces an unprecedented decision here Tuesday when defense and government attorneys present final arguments in the trial of 11 segregationists charged with hindering integration of Clinton. high school.

The jury of ten men and two women will be asked to furnish an answer to one of the thorniest questions facing the south -how far the government can go to back up the Supreme Court's integration order.

Both the defense and govern ment cases will be spelled out to the jury Monday in summary form.
