called stater:_an'_-s by James Antho y `like John Birch screaming
except fro t-.e other side. ''
He "ascribed Anthony's claim that the CIA has planted
agents among tha Peace Cort?,s' 70 volunteers in Fiji "a rathe
unimportant charge."
"This is a tired question," said of the accused

any other international agency."
Each of the Peace Corps volunteers goes through normal
Civil Service check to see if he or she is employed by any
other federal agency or cf,rice, Stalker said.

the Peace Corps delegation to Fiji," he added.
A spokesman for the CIA in Honolulu said today he had
no coim2n t on Anthony's c'-arge and that he had no knowledge f it.
