Under questioning, Oppenheimer said he Is "very much satisfied" with what the AEC has done ex- ccrl for one "I think the commission can so further toward making information public which Is now secret." For himself, Oppenheimer warmly defended the policy of exporting certain types of radio-active Isotopes for research.

Lamphere Is Ihe author of two FBI "decoy" prominently Coplon, 28, former Justice Department political analyst.

One of the documents, dated January 27, apparently never reached the Justice Department's Foreign Agents Registration Section, where Miss Coplon worked. She had notes from Ihe other paper, dated March 3, when she was arrested in New York the next day along with a Soviet engineer, Valentine A. Gub- itchev, 32. Lamphere testified thai he drafted these "decoy" papers with the Idea lhat they would come to Miss Coplon's attention. The January 27 paper said, among other things, that the FBI had information that "Amtorg employees have functioned as Soviet espionage agents.

"I furnished information to that effect, yes, sir," Lamphere said in reply to a question by Palmer. The agent added lhat he included Ihis information in an FBI report. Answering another of Palmer's questions, Lamphere said he did not know to his personal knowledge what Ihe FBI did about it.

Lamphere and Palmer frequently' shouted at each other. At one point Palmer told the FBI man not to lose his temper with me. "Don't 'lose your temper with me," Lamphere shot back. Prosecuting and defense attorneys entered into a stipulation today as to what- typewriters were used to write the 34 so-called data slips found In Miss Coplon's purse. This agreement, as drafted by prosecutors, originally said that seven of the papers were "true copies," meaning carbons, of papers on file in the foreign agents registration section and were the property of the government.
