Star TV Critic

The timing could hardly be
sharper, in view of the Domini-/
can Republic fighting. Producer
Ted Yates couldn't make yes-
terday's screening because he's
in Santo Domingo.
It's not that the program has
any startling revelations to'
make; it's simply that it is the
;best TV illustration of the
subject I've seen yet, as exciting
as .it is disturbing. From the;
opening shot of Chancellor!
riding a Russian tank ("you!
could say, we stole it") there is
no letup. in interest. The inter-
views with Allen Dulles, Richard
Bissell and Sen. McCarthy -
who wants a tighter moral hold
against "just what might be-1
corr,e a kind of completely,
immoral or amoral operation"-I
are revealing. But the excite-
ment of the show is in the
interviews, in the field (the
seemingly" contradictory one
with a former air attache in
G u ate ma I a; the legendary' '
soldier-of-fortune type, Jerry De
Larm; the rebel Guatemalan in
the hills.)
Chancellor states it well in they
conclusion. "The CIA's on active
'duty in.a constant, secret, dirty'
war. . . The problem we have is
how to'-reconcile the necessity of
.the CIA,with its secret offenses;
against our Public morality.'
These days, it's getting more
and more uncomfortable to be
an American, and there doesn't
seem to be much we can do
about it."
"When John kunanceiior)
reads about a seemingly inno-
cent fatal accident involving
some key person in a troubled
country, he wonders; he's'
developed antenna." A colleague
of Chancellor's made the obser
vation after screening "The.
Science of Spying," an NBC
special whiph is more accurate-i
ly an examination of our Central
Intelligence Agency . and its,'
controversial hot-and-cold warj
role. I can believe the antenna;:
I can't get my hat on either.
Try watching the show tonight
(10 o'clock, WRC-4); you'll see
what we wean.
