Rep. Jack Brooks, D- Texas, head of the Government Operations Committee, said trips on ocean liners at prices several times the cost of equivalent airplane trips were turned up by a study begun last year by the General Accounting Office, tfie investigative wing of Congress. T he c h ai r m a n ma d e the statements in a written announce ment that his committee has called State Department and U.S. Informa tion Agency officials to explain at a hearing Wednesday why their em ployees “travel in the lap of luxury on cruise ships rather than on coach- fare airlines.” Brooks also said officials would be asked to discuss a GAO finding that the two agencies “have been very lax in accounting for millions of dollars in travel advances provided their employees.” Copies of the GAO report have not been made public by the com mittee, but a source familiar with the document cited two examples found by the GAO of ocean liner travel by State Department personnel. In one case, an official and his family, returning to Buenos Aires, Argentina, from home leave in Los Angeles, flew to Cartengena, Colom bia, and then took a 25-day cruise to Buenos Aires, according to the source. The source, who spoke on condi tion he not be identified, quoted the GAO as saying the voyage cost $1H, 156, compared to $3,360 had the trip been made by air. In the other case, an employee and his six dependents flew from New Delhi, India, for home leave in Spokane, Wash., and began the re turn trip by Hying to New York. There they boarded the Queen Eliz abeth II for a five-day crossing to England, w'here they took a flight back to India. The cost of the ocean liner pas sage was $18,407, nearly four times the $4,732 for airfare from New York to England, the GAO report edly found. Brooks ordered the investigation in March 1984 after his committee held a hearing into the case of a USIA employee who took his family on a taxpayer-funded $17,371 trip up the Mississippi on the plush Delta Queen as he was returning home from an assignment in South Amer ica. The USIA said at the time that the riverboat ride was approved by the State Department, which handles travel arrangements for USIA, with out the information agency’s knowl edge. At the 1984 hearing. Comptroller General Charles Bowsher, head of the GAO, said that while federal reg ulations allow government-financed home leave trips, they are supposed to he made by the “most direct and expeditious routes." Brooks said in the statement that the GAO report supports his com ment at the 1984 hearing that the Delta Queen cruise might have lx*eii only “tne smallest tip ol an enor mous iceberg.” Expansion of secure phone system needed to reduce security leaks Associated Press WASHINGT ON — Some expels believe a shortage of secure telephones and carelessness by officials who sometimes are too impatient to use them are giving away national secrets to foreign powers. “We’re getting eaten alive oy the bad guys," said one official, who spoke on the condition he would not lx* identified. Expanding the network of secure phones “has always been a low priority because of the cost,” he said. But with government officials more aware of the po tential damage of losing vital national security informa tion, a new network of secure phones — capable of scrambling transmissions before they pass through the atmosphere where they can be intercepted — is being developed under a $44 million National Security Agency contract. With delivery scheduled to begin in 1987, at least 500,000 of the new phones will be installed at govern ment desks and in the of fices of def ense contractors, who often deal with classified information. As many as 2 million of the phones are expected to be bought by other firms in the private sector, including major cor porations, high-tecn companies and financial institu tions, the NSA says. NSA. part of the nation’s intelligence network, is in charge of protecting government communications and listening in on the communications of foreign powers. "We want to get (sensitive information) scrambled and get people used to that. People are just so used to using (unsecure) phones,” said Sen. Patrick j. Ljcahy. D- Vt., vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Commit tee. “People get careless because there are a limited num ber (of secure phones), he said. “It’s like someone who says, T can leave the safe open for a few minutes while I run down the hall.’ Once they’re more available, that will stop.” The government won’t say how many secure phones it has. J.C. Sharp, deputy chief of information policy at the NSA, said the information is classified because it would “indicate to adversaries w hat the size of the ef fort is.” But the source said the government’s network of se cure phones is not much larger than it was in the late 1950s. l^isl March, the NSA selected RCA, Motorola and American Telephone 8c T elegraph Co. to develop the new phones. T he companies are required under the contract to deliver prototypes by the middle of next year and to begin delivering the new phones the follow ing year. Sharp said. Caller claims another Soviet captive is dead Associated Press BEIRUT, Lebanon — An anonymous caller claiming to speak for the kidnappers of four Soviets said Sunday they have killed a second captive and dumped his body near the Cite Sportive stadium in south Beirut, the Voice of Lebanon radio re ported. But a police search after night fall was called off after tin hour when no corpse was found. The Christian radio station quoted the caller as saying in Ar abic, “One captive was executed 15 minutes ago. His body is lying at the Cite Sportive. The police are invited to go there to pick it up.” Five police patrols and Shiite Moslem Amal militiamen combed the area, surrounded by muddy empty lots and garbage dumps, but found no body. “There’s no way to assert the authenticity of the call,” said a po lice officer searching with flash lights among piles of rubble sur rounding the sports complex. The body or a Soviet diplomat, i consular attache Arkady Katkov, 32, was dumped at the bomb- ! blasted stadium Oct. 2, two days after he and the three other Sovi ets were abducted in Moslem west Beirut. Anonymous callers who said they represented the Islamic Lib eration Organization told radio stations the group had kidnapped the Soviets. The callers said the goal was to pressure Syria, Moscow’s main Arab ally, to call off a leftist of fensive against Sunni Moslem fundamentalists in the northern port of Tripoli. Joponese officials studying U.S. schools Associated Press PRINCETON, N. J. — “What would make Japanese education bet ter? Is that possible?” an American educator asked the delegation from Japan. “We hear it’s perfect.” The retired Japanese diplomat suppressed a smile, shook his head and replied, “We think it’s strug- gling” So the dialogue began on a jocular note as Blast met West over lunch at the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, where three members of a blue-ribbon Jap anese council came last week in their search for ways to improve their schools. They told their host, Ernest L. Boyer, president of the Carnegie Foundation and former U.S. com missioner of education, of their dis content with the quality,and breadth of higher education in Japan, where two national universities — Tokyo and Kyoto — sit atop a sharp pyr amid that produces the Japanese elite. Ryozo Sunobe, the retired diplo mat, spoke admiringly of the U.S. system in which many of the most prestigious universities, such as Princeton and Harvard, are private. Drawing shapes in the air with his hand, Sunobe expressed the hope that Japan’s sharp pyramid could be converted into a broad, thin box with numerous top-flight universi ties. “Everybody wants to go to Prince ton” or rather, its Japanese equiva lents, and those who cannot feel deeply disappointed, said Sunobe. “We should have more variety of higher education ... so that every student can be happy and can (en ter) the university of their choice,” said Sunobe, a professor of interna tional relations at Kyorin University, a small private institution in Tokyo.

Equal opp. em ployer. editorial editor of the Nohon Keizai Shinbun, were among 25 people chosen last year by the government to scrutinize Japan’s highly central ized school system. They and three other council members are on a two- week tour of schools and campuses in the United States and Great Brit ain. The Provisional Council on Edu cational Reform, in its first of four reports last June, concluded that Ja pan’s schools — the “driving force” behind the country’s postwar eco nomic boom — face numerous prob lems. The emphasis on rote memoriza tion in the early grades thwart,s cre ativity and prevents children from developing the ability to think, the council said. The council criticized the inten sive competition for university en trance and said Japanese society puts too much stock in test scores and academic pedigrees. Copies of a Japanese translation of Boyer’s 1984 hook, “High School,” about shortcomings in U.S. secondary education are promi nently on display at the Carnegie Foundation. But Boyer has an even closer tie to Japanese education. “Our grandchildren have at tended Japanese schools and they speak Japanese more fluently than English,” Boyer told his visitors. His daughter, Beverly Reed, who recently brought her three young children back from a three-year stay in Tokyo, helped translate the lun cheon conversation. Her oldest daughter, Leah, 7, spent last year in a Japanese first-grade class. Reed said, “T he biggest differ ence between the two school systems is the flexibility . . . and the idea of the individual vs. the idea of the group.” In her daughter’s Japanese class, all 43 students progressed at an equal pace. Saito said Japanese schools need more flexibility. mrm ana •« >2* i w Sat A Swn An Saatt C E7 fl *CAA K.m.ty N.t*-Uon V M \J\J -«tam'am.ir Nite-Tt*! UE ui.ftiMitt Stw«e«M» current t0TO A4M SirfejC.
