(

At tpe outset, it is immediately apparent that the title of this bill is its greatest, and perhaps only, fault. As it now stands, there is little won­der that some of ·the Members of Congress :r-egard the bill with misgiving or even apprehension. A more flagrant example of mislabeling can hardly be imagin­ed. The title oJ.ea.rly implies, either that naval. agents are to meddle in civil affa:i.rs., or else that the protection of the United States Navy is a function

·and responsibility of civilian a.genoies in which we ~e to be allowed to "assist". Either of these con­ceptions is seriously in errorl

In the first place, as everyone knows, the Navy· has never usurped the prerogatives of oiviJ.ian autho:r-i ties and certainly does not propose to do. it now w, '') , ; , , -,, , , , ,1 ,;

Nothing could be further from the intent, purpose ~r_,i: --, · (\ :;:: ',.;;,ti/)··li\J'\1 t\ provis:l.ons of this biJ.l. than to allow the Navy to l,g\1fl,}rn,1,J•\\t;.hJ~Q h~.JJ institute a kind of military or secret police to ·· abridge the civil rights. Yet this is implied in the titlel

In the second place, the protection of the Navy against espionage and sabotage is just as mu.oh the · responsibil:i.ty of the Navy as is its protection against shot and shell. Civilian agencies_, to a 1:i.m­ited extent, m.ay effectively share in this responsil)... il:i.ty., but they can never assume it, f'or it is a universally recognized milit,ary function. Yet the contrary is im.pl:l.ed in the title l

If the title were suoh as to truly renect the purpose and provisions of the bill, it would read about as follows, "A Bill to enable the Naval Inves­tigating Servioe to carry out its proper functions., and to do so legally". -I,!:i~ would be an honest, des­criptive title and one which would accurately out11.ne the prov:i.sions of the bill.

But the title is not important. Its only import­ance lies in the fact that it might cause the bill to be defeated. This must not be allowed to happen, for the bill itself is wise, it is reasonable., and it is urgently needed.

What are the prov:tsions? 'rhey give to the naval agent the following powers:

(1) To serve warrants and subpenas.

(2) To make seizures under warrant.

(3) To :make arrests without warrant felon:i.es,

Ui-) To carry firearms.

for probable

Let us inquire into the need for these prov:tsions. Under the present le,ws., the naval agent may serve no warrants or subpenas at all! If he needs to see a hotel register, to check thc-i telephone calls 11k'1de by an espi.o:nage agent., to examine a bank account, to trace a telegram or to :i.nspec·t; the contents of a spy's safe­deposit box., :i.t cannot be done quickly, and at the same time, legally. He must set int,o motion the ponderous and oftentimes slow machinery of the law. He must apply to the United States Attorney o:r. ·t;o the Un:tted States Commissioner, frequentJ.y to be found in another o:tty. In his efforts to ce>ntact them he must use telegrams., telephones., garagea etc. to transmit his desires. When he has reached these officials a search warrant or sub-pena is issued., which must be served by a Uni·t;ed States Marshal. '.rhese are not al:ways available; when they are found and made to serve the warrant, the naval agent must share with them the imp<>r·t;ant secrets of the Navy. 'I'his process ·t;akes many hours at best; some·l;imes several days a:r.e required, dur:l.ng which timf.~ ·the alien agent, who is always alert, sensitive and apprehensive, may have bem•

l~ln1tiitJ\lJ~_lli!A"lLtb Is there no alternative which· the ag~nt may cho?se, · ~ ,, • Ii to escape from this cumbersome process? Yes, there is

one. In his devotion to duty, in his loyalty to his country and in his desire to protect it - he may break the law. He may do even worse, he may induce others to do sol He might even go to a telegraph office and ur­gently request to see a copy of a telegram sent by a fleeing espionage agent. And if the telegraph agent were patriotic eno:11-gh to furnish this information., they both would b~ .. J.-1'.able to arrest and imprisonment 1

1lle b:i.11 proposes to allow· naval agents t,o make seizures under warrant. This provision would enable ·the naval agent to ~~ll_z and m:.,ivate.1z conduct the search o.f premises which he believes are being used by espion.:1.ge or sabotage agents. This i.s a most necessary provision. Under the present law., aft,er having comple·bed the laborious process of obts.ining a search warrant., as already described, the naval agent may not even be. allowed to ta,ke pa.r·t in the search at all. His status is still only that of a citizen and he may be excluded from the premises while the search is conducted by untrained officials who have no intimate knowledge of the case. Such a search is worse than useless, because not only may valuable evidence be overlooked but the occupnnt,s of the premises are certain to be ·warned. Under the present laws, it is virtually l-J!l.J20~.~:i..~J& for the naval agent to legally conduct a discreet searohl

The next provision of the bi;Ll allows the naval agent to make arrests without warrant for felon:tes believed to be committed. This power is ~~ ~s~_;y;- .for the effective operation of any Federa.J. investigating agency; as is amply proved by the fact that it has already been granted to the following a.gencj.e s :

(1) u. s. Marshals and Deputy Marshals.

(2) Agents Federal Bureau of Investigation.

(3) Customs Investigation Unit.

(4) U. s. Customs Patrol.

( 5) The Coast Guard,.

(6) The Bureau of Narcotics.

(7) 'l'he Alcohol '.rax Unit Enforcement Division.,

(8) The Secret Service.

(9) The Bureau of Internal Revenue Intelligence Unit,.

Surely it is just as impo:r.ta.nt to protect the Navy against foreign spies and saboteurs as it is to.apprehend smugglers, tax-evaders and letter-box thieves.

This provision would, for the first time., enabl.e the Naval Intelligence a.gent to apprehend., on s1.ght, .foreign· agents who otherwise wi.11 invariably escape. In fact, these escapes have occurred with alarming f:req:nency. 1rhe Japanese spy, Toshio Miyasaki., escaped ao:ro ss the Canad:l.a.n border; Dr.. . Grie bl e soaped to Germany; Lt. Comdr. T. Omae got away to Japan; William Lonkowski fled from New York to Canada by plane, and this by no means completes the list.

Harry Thompson, the Japanese agent who is now serving a fifteen year sentence at l\/IacNeil's Island for espionage, would have escaped if a Naval agent had not broken into his room. th:I.rty minutes before

· he was to depar·b and arrested him without due legal formality. What che,nces did this agent take in seiz~­ing a Japanese spy? He ran the risk of being sued for false arrest, which might have forced him to pay dam.ages for having served his country. This j_s ha:r:•dly a situation to encourage and stimula:~e rw.val agents to greater efforts,.

The next provision of the bi.11 is to restrict the authority granted to mattet•s pertaining to espionage., counter espionage, sabotage and other. matters affect­ing the Natiom1l defen.se and the Naval Service. This is a wise though not a necessary provision.

I·~ is wise because it an·ticipates and removes objecti.ons to the bill which might be based upon the fear that the naval agent wi.ll. trespass beyond the sphere of naw.1 interests •

,l: ~ It is not necessary., because the laws of the Navy .. ,r {~: .,.. ' have already st:r:l.ctly limited the activity of naval ~r c{! 0. .: agents to affairs pertaining to the Navy and the · 01:,:,,

protection of firearms. The a.J.ien agent is no common criminal who carefully calculates and weighs the legal consequences of his a.ct. On the contrary, he is often inspired by loyalty and devotion ·t;o his own country in whose service he would not hesitate to kill. These agents are as dangerous as any fanat:l.cs.

Only a few months ago a sabotage agent was surprised in the act of attempting to burn down an airplane hangar belonging to ·lihe U. S., Marines, at Quantico, Va. He unhesitatingly turned and shot down the sentry, and on.1y the faot that the sentry was armed, and returned the fire, prevented him from successfully completing his dt~struotive act.

The naval agent without a warrant may be shot and killed as a common felon. 1'his bill prevents that possibility.

The beneficial effects of this bill m.,',l.y be briefly recapitulated as follows:

(1) Provides equal powers where responsib:i.1:1.ty. is equal, ·bhus correc·cing an unjust and 1.nequitabJ.e cond:lt,ion.

(2) Protects the naval agent against charges of f'als(-3 arrest, burglary and other offenses.

(3) Enables civilians to freely and legally cooperate with naval agents, without fear of civil suit •

(4) Provides personal protection. .for ·bhe agent by means of firearms.

( 5) Adds forty-eight hou.rs to t,he time a sus .... pact nay be held for investigation.

(6) Makes poss:l.ble the capture of fore:tgn agents who may otherwise escape.

(7) Gives n;:1,val agen·bs the same powe:r• to protect the Na.vy as has already been given to many civilian agencies.

( 8) Provides authority commensurate with the r,---~...._ __ ponsibility which has long since been acknowledgect DECLAS~D · ·-·

· ii/I \lo 'l.V STATEMl!m RllLATIVE TO sUBJEC'r BILL,

11' ,,Jlt'Y Under the President'• Direotl.ve of June 26, 1939,lthe Office of

fl' Naval Intelligence was given certai.n functions ii1 the controlling and

handling of cases of espionage, counter--espionage, and sabot~ge, to­

gether with the Office of Military Intelligence and the Federal Bureau

of Investigation.

In order to carry out the intent and purpose of the President's

Directive, end to protect the Na.vy against cases of espionage, counter­

espionage, sabotage, and other :matters affecting the National Defense

and the Naval Service, the immediate enactment of this Bill is consj_dered

essential to the security of the Navy" \ lN.'.ft\ This Bill provides tha.t the Secretary of the\ttw~,~

authority to appoint Naval agents2who, in cases of sabotage, espionage,

counter-espionage, and other matters affecting the National Defense and

the Naval Service, shall have the power to serve warrants and subpoenas, I

make seizures under warrants, make arrests w:ithout warrants where the

agent ha.s reasonable grounds to believe that the person is gu:i.lty and

tha.t there is a possib,ility of the person escaping before a warrant can

be obtained. In either case the person arrested shall be immedia.tely

taken before a committing officer. In. addition, these agents shall be

authorized to carry firearms.

This Bill will enable the Naval investigating service to carry out

its proper functions and do so legally. At the present time a Naval

Agent ha.s no more power than a private citiz,en. As a result of which

he may serve no warr1:mts or subpoenas at all. It is necessary that he

set into motion the ponderous and oftentimes slow machinery of the law,

by applying to the United States Attorney or to the United States Com­

missioner who is frequently not available at the time. The ultimate

result of such a delay is app~irent. By permitting an agent of Naval

Intelligence to serve such a warrant will allow him to move in the sam.e

manner and with the same effectiveness as an agent of the Federal Bureau

of Investigation who is performing parallel duties.

f J i The next provi.sion of the Bill, which would ~illow an· agent to make

f ~ a Tizure under such a warrant, is equally as important. It would ena.ble

i ()i the: ... agent to personally and privately conduct the search of premises j ~ • i_~ wh¾~h he believes are being used by espionage and sabotage agents. Under -'\ . Q ! thi present proct3dure, after an agent has obtained a search warrant he

.~. *'"' • • .1 ! m~ not even be allowed to take part in the search at all. In other words, °': \ . ~ i"""\un<\,er the present laws, it is virtually impossible for the Naval Agent ~ z(}, = ~\) j t to ?-egally conduct an intelligent search. In order that a Na.val Agent

MI rt~aJ apprehend on sight such persons as foreie,'11 agents who would otherwise \\I 1'~ :

. :"· inv;r·ia,bly escape., it is necessary that power to make arrests without a ' . Cl)

war~rant for felonies believed to have been committed should be given an tJ

agent where he has reasonable grounds to believe that the person is guilty.

This power is absolutely necessary for the effect1.ve operation of the

Domestic Intelligence b1~anch of our Office, espec;i.ally at this par­

ticular time.

The fact that this Bill restricts and limits the foregoing powers

of- a Naval Agent to cases of espiona.ge, counter-espionage, sabotage,

and other matters affecting the National Defense and the Naval Service,

is most significantQ The purpose of this provision is to limit defi-·

nitely the a,uthority granted to a Naval Agent to that ti.bsolutely nec­

essary to carry out his dut,ies. There is one point that we want defi-·

nitely understood, and that is that it is not the intent of this legis­

lation to set up a military police to abridge civil rights. Its object,

is to protect the Navy, which responsibility and duty the Navy must

alone a.ccept.

The last provision of the Bill is that which aut,horizes the Naval

Agent to carry firearms. It is, indeed, a most necessary provision and

it is considered unnecessary to elaborate as to the reason for it.

' in conclusion the most, beneficial effects of this Bill will be: ~

(1.) That.a Naval agent will be protected.against charges

of false arrest, burglary and other offenses •

(2) That civilians will feel free to ooopera,te with Naval

Agents without fear of being ple1,ced in jeopa,rdy by

civil suit.

( 3) Personal protection is provided for the 'agent,.

(~J A period of 1+8 hours is ultimately added to the time

a suspect may be held .for investigation.

Navy and things connected therewith with the same power

a.s has a.lready been given to an agent of the Federal

Bureau of Investigation.

The directors of these three a,gencies are to functiqn as a committee to coordinate their activities. "

No investigations should be conducted by any.investigative agency of the Government into matters involving actually or potential­ly any espionage, counter-espionage, or sabotage, except by the three agencies mentioned above.

I sha,11 be gla.d :if you will instruct the heads of all other investigative agencies than the three named, to refer immediately to the nearElst office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation any data, information, or material that ,may come to their notice bearing direct­ly or indirectly on espionage, counter-espionage, or sabotage.
