Russell (D-Ga) denounced today what he termed "sword of reprisal" tactics against Adm. Arleigh A. Burke, chief of naval operations, for opposing the administration's military-reorganization plan.

He charged that the remarks Secretary of Defense McElroy aimed at Burke for his testimony before the committee are in conflict with the Secretary's prior promises to the committee that witnesses could speak freely. McElroy, speaking to newsmen at Quantico, Saturday expressed disappointment and regret at Burke's stand on reorganization.

His remarks were widely interpreted as a public rebuke to Burke, but the Defense Secretary later said this was not so. He said he could disagree with a service chief without rebuking him. Russell released his blast in a prepared statement at a news conference, at which he rejected McElroy's statements that his remarks were not a reproof. Russell pointed to the call-down of Burke as evidence that any reorganization plan which is adopted now should contain provisions guaranteeing the right of military personnel to testify frankly, "The clear implication in the secretary's statement that the joint chiefs must conform or be purged," Russell said, "is more in keeping with the totalitarian concept of government 4 "A witness testifying under the sword of reprisal will find it difficult to give his honest viefs. "In these circumstances, I doubt whether further testimony from the military chiefs will contribute anything to a greater understanding of the issues involved by the Congress or the people of the country.

"For this reason, and until the committee can be assured that these officials may testify in complete candor without being threatened overtly or covertly, I am canceling the appearances of Gen.
