White House irked by Benson Ladejinsky move
White House officials express irritation over Secretary Benson's handling of the Ladejinsky case while affirming the security program is sound. A senior official says Benson could have avoided the controversy by conferring with Secretary Dulles first, a rule requiring interdepartmental discussion on security matters. Ladejinsky, a naturalized American born in Russia, was ousted from his Tokyo post over security concerns, later hired by FOA for a land reform role in South Vietnam after a full FBI check. The president delegated the decision to Herman Adams and Bernard Shanley with Eisenhower not directly involved.
