McClellan (D-Ark) who will take over the Investigations subcommittee chairmanship from Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis). says this group will abolish "one-man hearings," which have been a subject of deep controversy He said he hopes his committee, the Senate Internal Security subcommittee and the House Un-American Activities Committee can avoid duplication in probes of communism.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 1955. W. SECRETARY plans for investigations pending a shakeup of, the staff of the Un- American Activities Committee, of which he becomes chairman. The outgoing chairman, Rep.

Kefauver (D-Tenn), a bitter foe of the project, has already had a preliminary look at the project. Sen. Olin D. Johnston (D-SC) has announced plans to investigate the Eisenhower administration's announcements of security risk firings.

Johnston calls it "a numbers racket that misleads more than it informs." A report Monday listed 8,008 persons dropped as security risks in a period of 16 months. Of the total, 2,096 were said to have "subversive data" in their files. "I hope to show," Johnston said, "whether these figures represent a deliberate attempt to magnify also will "look into evidence that qa 'rhaati eH sriid yneotuitsiu points in the direction of partisanship" to discredit prior Democratic administrations. Red Paper Says US Forces Filled With Drug Addic Soviet Publication Claims Heavy Dope Addiction in Far East MOSCOW Star declared today the U.S. Army and Navy are filled with drug units stationed in the Far East.

The Soviet armed forces newspaper quoted figures it claims to have taken from the U.S. newspapers Army Times and Navy Times concerning an alleged rise in narcotics addiction among members of the U.S. armed forces. "All the facU are interesting." Red Star said. "They testify to the extremely low moral level of American military men at home as well as abroad.

A policy of aggression and a military psychosis is producing its results. "Narcotlcism is a natural and characteristic feature for the American army an army of ravlshers and murderers and it is useless for American commanders to pretend they could change the situation." Red Star quoted the American newspapers as reporting that the use of cocaine, opium and heroin has Increased among American troops stationed in Japan and Korea, "But the smell of narcotics," it added, "is felt not only in American troops stationed in foreign countries. Narcoticism Is flourishing also among military men stationed in the territory of the United States, despite statements of some representatives of the Pen tagon that soldiers and sailors, a well as officers, use narcotics only THEATRE On W.

"Every sailor and soldier at the San Diego base getting a pass to go downtown," it said, can find the most vicious amusements.

They can easily find openly operating opium dens where there also are women and gambling. And if the soldier just crosses the border to Tl Juana, Mexico, he can find even more evils." Ladejinsky Is Hired By FOA WASHINGTON W) The Foreign Operations Administration announced today it has hired Wolf Ladejinsky, fired as a security risk from his post as agricultural attache in the Tokyo embassy, to do a land reform job in Viet Nam. Foreign Aid Administrator Harold Stassen said in the announcement that FOA has reviewed Lade- Jlnsky's file and found him "eligible for certification for security and loyalty." He commented that ''in this very difficult matter of evaluating personnel from a security standpoint, individuals sometimes reach different conclusions even as judges of any court sometimes have dissenting opinions." The shift to FOA, which had been predicted earlier, was at least a partial solution for a problem that had ranged the Agriculture Department and the State Department in opposition to each other. Ladejinsky had security clearance from the State Department but his post was shifted to Agriculture Department control by an act of the last Congress and Secretary of Agriculture Benson, on advice of his security officer, ruled against retention of Ladejinsky in the attache position. In addition to the security finding, the Agriculture Department SNAILING ALONG -Six- year-old Michael Kane, of New York City, has a nose for nature.
