Ex-OSS Man Charges Leak In State Dept. New York—A former executive officer of the wartime Office of Strategic Services charged that a State Department "leak" sip honed top secret documents into' the offices of Amerasia magazine. O. C. Doering Jr., now a part ner in a New York city law firm, issued a statement which he said was an answer "to criticism of OSS by an assistant Attorney General regarding the Amerasia case." "The discovery that Amerasia had obtained secret Government papers was made through the alertness fo a member of the OSS staff," Doering said. ___ He said the staff member, who was not named, read an article in the magazine which "set forth the contents* of a secret Govern ment document" he had prepared. The OSS raid on the now de funct publication's office followed, Doering said, and five copies of the published secret document were recovered. Saying that there was no indi cation that anyone with OSS was responsible for any breach of se curity, Doering added: "On the contrary, they found dear indications that the princi pal cause of the leak was in the State Department because in the office of Amerasia they saw hundreds of ''other confidential, secret, and top secret, army, navy, State and other Government doc uments bearing a stamp showing that they had been obtained from the State Department." —.— o The funds given of the American Cancer Society in 1947 represent an average of less than $65 per cancer death in the U.
