The question of whether this administration has adopted a policy of secrecy through silence also was raised over the weekend by Representative JOHN E. Moss. of California. chairman of a House information subcommittee. I share his curiosity about why the Department of Justice classified as secret or confidential a report filed by Immigration Commissioner. Gen. J. M. Swing. on alleged wrongdoing by the United States border patrol. As we see members of the executive department keeping their doings secret. it is somewhat reassuring to find that the freedom of information committee of the Associated Press Managing Editors Association finds that the wall of secrecy around the publics right to know has at least cracked in 14 State governments. I ask unanimous consent to insert in Post story giving details of the committees findings.
