Spy Cases Stir Little Public Reaction Across Washington
A two case espionage update from Washington draws muted public reaction. Retired Army Lt Col William Whalen, 51, accused of conspiring with Soviet agents to share atomic, military, and defense plans while an aide to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, faces a $5,500 payoff across six payments. State Department employee Frank Maeva, who aided the FBI after reportedly working with two Czechoslovak diplomats, collected $3,440 over five years for information and a bugging device later turned over to investigators. Public commentary questions the FBI timing and the broader fight against communism, noting a long, patient spy pursuit.
