His only offense, he insisted, was that when summoned by a Senate subcommittee, he gave honest answers to 'questions about procedures which seemed designed to protect, rather than expose, security risks. Forty thousand state department employes all other government workers will be watching the outcome of the Otepka hearing. So will congressional committees which depend upon government witnesses for candid testimony.

Issue at Stake The consensus in Washington is that the issue at stake is whether federal employes shall put loyalty to their superiors above all other considerations and his trash basket searched for information against him. Two superior officers, who denied under oath the wiretapping incident, hastily resigned when threatened with prosecution for perjury. Both, however, were transferred to other high-paying posts. Otepka hired a lawyer and kept demanding the right to be when called to testify before Congress.

His attorney, Roger Robb, was assured there will be no more delays. Otepka's piea for an open hearing, however, has been rejected. The state department ruled that -secrecy must cloak the proceedings because the customary rules call for "protection of the employe" in such cases and because classified documents will be involved in the evidence.
