Sec Rogers confirms that Atty Gen Mitchell ordered FBI agents to question State Dept officials in effort to discover source of news leaks, press conf; insists there is nothing unusual in use of agents; discusses probes in terms of law enforcement, discounting suggestions that they might intimidate officials or discourage them from discussing pub business with newsmen; cites as example NY Times story on July 23 concerning disarmament talks with USSR, although he says probes followed 'a couple' of other news leaks; Times article disclosed US bargaining positions, which Rogers says US agreed to keep secret; he implies that top officials suspect 'deliberate leak' by someone who wants to sabotage talks; asked why dept did not use own security agents to probe leaks, Rogers gives impression that FBI probe would be in order whenever top-secret information appears in print; he says 'law makes it clear that top-secret matter, if divulged, is criminal offense' and says it is FBI's role to investigate law violations; there is no Fed law that makes it crime to disclose top-secret information, as such; dept repr says later that Rogers referred to '17 Espionage Act; in reply to suggestion that agents' presence in dept recalls memories of anti-Communist probes initiated by late Sen McCarthy, Rogers says dept has 'suffered from scars of those days'; he pledges to do all he can to be sure it does not occur; he says he told top aides to remain accessible to press; says probes include other agencies also, and says no dept personnel have been found culpable by investigators; dept officials have told newsmen they were asked to sign affidavits detailing their disclosures to newsmen and that they were given lie detector tests; Rogers brushes off question about reptd tests; says lie detector is 'good instrumentality for showing innocence,' but is not very conclusive in proving guilt
