U. N. May Be
Bringing In
Undesirables
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Secretary
of State Marshall announced to
day that he is creating a commit
tee of three citizens to investigate
whether the United Nations is
bringing persons into this coun
try who are a danger to American
security.
Marshall declined to give a
news conference the names of the
three citizens but promised they
would be announced later. He de
scribed them as distinguished cit
izens.
The investigation will cover all
classes of persons associated with
the United Nations. Marshall said,
including foreign delegations and
their staff, newspapermen and
other reporters, members of spe
cialized U. N. agencies and the
staff of Secretary General Trygve
Lie.
The investigation grows out of
testimony of two state depart
ment officials before a congres
sional committee that hundreds
of secret agents from Europe’s
communist countries may be us
ing U. N. credentials as a means
of getting into the United States
to stir up trouble.
Marshall reiterated today what
he said a week ago after this tes
