! For some reason, though, there j
I are few bad .traffic accidents."
The group traveled some H.imio

"The Russians feel that gras-
is safer to land on than coiiciete,"
Bob said. "And when we landed
we had no seat belts. You couid
stand up. if you wanted to."
"We had no hops ovei six
hours," he said. "We were served
sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, cav-
iar and jelly fish Filling enough

Officer Under
Shadow Moved
By (HAR1-KS COKWIKY
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15 U;.P>—
The Army officer whose office
w a s said to have leaked docu
ments attacking administration
military strategy was transferred
Wednesday to a Florida post con-
cerned mostly with reserve af-
fairs.
The officer i> I• i itr. Gen. Lyal
Metheny, •>". He heailed a top
level planning team called the
"co ordination group" directed un-
der Gen Maxwell. I). Taylor.
Army chief of staff.
The reported leaks from Me-
theny's office were in the form of
documents questioning the admin-
istration's emphasis on ail atomic
strategy. They reached the press
last May and helped fan the
flame:- of a smoldering intra-serv-
ice row which drew sharp com•
ni -nt from President Eisenhower.
Methenv's transfer to be chief of
the Florida Military district in
Jacksonville followed a move by
Defense Secretary Charles E. Wil-
son Monday to prevent unauthor
iied ilisclosures of confidential
material. Wilson set up a special
committee to plug leaks headed
by Charles A. Coolidge of Boston,
a former assistant defense secre-
tary.
WiUon asked Coolidgc for a fast
interim r-port "n how to "assure
greater protection" of secret or
confidential data.
The secretary was sufficiently
perturbed about the May leaks at
the time to call a special news
conference on the -.ubject at which
he attributed the disclosure to
"eager beavers" in various serv-
ices.
Shortly afterward a report was
published that Metheny had asked
for retirement after ">1 years of
sel V ice.
