President Eisenhower will nominate William F. Tompkins of Maplewood New Jersey as U S attorney directing a new Internal Security Division. The appointee, age 41, will head a unit charged with speeding prosecution of spies and subversives while continuing efforts against racketeering gambling and related crimes. The White House announced Sunday night.
The Criminal Division will centralize handling of treason espionage and security cases. The plan assigns prosecution of Smith Act and subversive act rulings to ensure constitutional protections while FBI cases proceed. Tompkins will head the new unit, to be joined by Raymond Del Tufo Jr as successor in New Jersey.
Washington news reports Col. John M. Johnson 72, chairman of the Interstate Commerce Commission, escaped with minor injuries when a mishap involving the Simplon Orient Express near Bethesda Maryland overturned. Among the passengers were Michael Barkovic 31 born in the United States but raised in Yugoslavia, Ahmed Buzalik 35 economics student from Sarajevo, and Janko Maroslav 28 Bulgar studying law in Zagreb.
