CHICAGO (AP) Sigma Delta Chi's national Freedom of Information Committee said Sunday that some of the highest officials of the Johnson administration have been "deliberately misleading the public, the press and the Congress through flat lies, through half-truths and through clever use of statistics that distort."

He has it well organized for a White House snow job The report, leveling sharpest thrusts at the State Department, Defense Department and National Aeronautics and Space Administration, was released in advance of the professional journalism society's convention, which opens Wednesday in Minneapolis, Minn. The report questioned the State Department's decision in conducting a "seciet hearing" in the effort to fire Otto F.

Otep- ka, former chief security evaluator. He was accused of improperly leakinp information to congressional committees. The report said: "A study of this case makes it obvious that the State Department was misusing a claim of national securi- ty for purport '-ling or obscuring the record." The Sigma -fi Chi committee -ipplauded the Defense De. partment's abolishment of a. 19G2 rule requiring all Pentagon officials to report all contacts with the press, but the report added: "The Defense Department continues to be the Washington reporter's biggest single challenge."
