EMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Support
SUBJECT: Historical Farm Traces on Campus
I had a call from the National Capitol Park Service's
Jim Putnam, telephone [phone]. They have discovered a 1776
farm site adjacent to our campus. They propose to do something
about it in a reconstruction or historical park sense. They
think there may be some adiacent archeological remnants to
this farm on our property. They ask if someone who might have
access to old plats, early survey maps, etc., etc. prior to
the development of the area get in touch with then.
I told the man that unless he turned out to be the OR
trying to dig a hole in our campus, I am sure we would be
glad to get in touch with him and do for him whatever we could.
I would appreciate it if somebody could get in touch with
Ir. Putnam. I gather that some of our prople already are
exchanging data with the National Capitol Park people on our
property here. Mr. Putnam said he would be glad to keep us
posted on any press releases they do on the matter.

14 CITY POLICEMEN
GOT GIL TRAINING
Learned How to Analyze
and Handlo Information
By DAVID BURNHAM
. Fourteen New York Police-
men--including First Deputy
Police Commissioner William
, H. T. Smith and the com-
mander of the department's
\i Intelligence Division?received
training from the Central Intel-
ligence Agency in September.
( A spokesman for the C.I.A.,
V Angus Thuermer, confirmed
that the 14 New Yorkers had
been Oven training but denied
that the agency had regular in-
struction programs for local
police officials.
Mr. Thuermer acknowledged,
however, that "there have been
a number of occasions when
similar courtesies have been
?extended to , police officers
from different cities around
the country."
Its response to an inquiry,
Mr, Thuermer said he was not
Able to determine how many
police officials or how many
departments had come to the
Washington area to receive
agency training.
' "I doubt very much that they
keep that kind of information,"
he added.
? Mr. Thuermer scoffed when
asked whether the agency's
training of policemen?some of
whom are responsible for col-
lecting information about po-
litical activists?violated the
Congressional legislation that
created the C.I.A. to correlate
and evaluate intelligence relat-
ing to national security, "pro-
vided that the agency shall
have no police, subpoena, law-
? enforcement powers or internal
, security functions."
Twelve of the New York
policemen?one captain, three
lieutenants, five sergeants and
? three detectives?received four
days of training from the C.I.A.
1/in a facility in Arlington, Va.,
y'. beginning last Sept. 11, accord-
ing to the Police Department.
Commissioner Smith and
Deputy Chief Hugo J. Masini,
commander of the Intelligence
? Division, attended one day's
. training, on Sept. 13. ?
Commissioner Smith said dur-
ing an interview that in con-
neCtion with the reorganization
.of the department's intelligence
work, "we decided we needed
some training in the analysis
and handling of large amounts
of4nfoymation."--- -? - ? ? -? -. I
STATI NTL
Mr. Smith said the depart-
ment had decided that the
C.I.A. would be the best place
for such training. "They pretty
much set this up for us," he
explained. "The training was
done gratis, only costing us
about $2,500 in transportation
and lodging."
Both the International Asso-
ciation ?of Chiefs of Police, a
professional organization that
does police efficiency studies
and runs training seminars an
a variety of law-enforcement
subjects, and the Federal
Bureau of Investigation said
they were not equipped to pro-
vide instruction on the storage,
retrieval and analysis of intelli-
gence ?information.
One branch of the Police
Department's Intelligence Divi-
sion, the security investigation
section, is the subject of a
pending suit in Federal court
here. The suit, filed by a group
of political activists, charges
that the. surveillance and infil-
tration activities of the secur-
ity section violate "the rights
of privacy, free speech and as-
sociation granted and guaran-
teed" the plaintiffs "by the
United States Constitution."
The present reorganization of
the security section?and the
part of the Intelligence Division
that collects information on
organized crime?is being fi-
nanced by a $166,630 grant
from the Law Enforcement As-
sistance Administration, a
branch of the Justice Depart-
ment. As of Oct. 13, a police
roster indicated that there were
365 policemen assigned to the
Intelligence Division.

Bratwurst at.C.I. A, Cafeteria
Sample of New.Capital,Fare,
STATI NTL
Special to The Neer York nines -
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20?If
you could get security clear-
ance, you could treat yourself
to a German-style lunch of
bratwurst with sauerkraut, or
knackwurst with red kohl, at
a little out-of-the-way spot
called Die Wunder Deli Bar.
Security clearance to get
into a delicatessen? Absolutely,
when it's in the cafeteria of the
Central Intelligence Agency,
tucked away in the woods of
Langley, Va., just northwest of
Washington.
But ? say you're more the
Meat-and-potatoes type. If you
had business to do at the
State Department, you might
drop into the cafeteria: there
to pick out a likely looking rib
eye steak, have it charbroiled
to order by an agile grillman
who wears a black 10-gallon
hat, and sit down to a hearty
meal, with french fries and
sliced tomatoes.
All this is possible these days
because of a move by the Gov-
ernment to make more inviting
the 145,000 lunches that it
serves every day to Federal
workers in the Washington area
?a task that compares to feed-
ing the entire population of
Paterson, N. J.
A Mixed Reaction
The remodeled State Depart-
ment cafeteria, with its orange-
paneled pillars and side walls
the color of underripe bananas,
is the most recently completed.
Along with the grill, which also
serves up barbecued spareribs
and chicken platters, there is a
seafood line that includes scal-
lops and fish and a shrimp bas-
ket with french fries and cole-
slaw.
The reaction of customers
has been mixed,
"Well, it's brighter, and
they've put an some new equip-
ment," an executive secretary -
in the foreign aid area said
over lunch one day. "But I was
satisfied the way it was be-
fore."
On the other hand, a young
foreign aid specialist who had
just emerged from the grill area
was happy about the whole
thing.
"I've been spending more
money on lunch because I'm
more attracted to the food," he
said. "I used to spend about
SO cents; now I average about
S1.30, $1.60 a day."
The improvement program
was begun about three years
ago, when the Government's
housekeeping agency, the Gen-
eral Services Administration,
discovered that the 35 cafe-
terias that ..are serviced under
one contract in Government
buildings here were losing cus-
tomers and money.
A Side Benefit
The nonprofit corporation
that has run the cafeterias for
going on 50 years was told to
bring in some new management
talent and fresh ideas to im-
prove the food and surround-
ings.
"We're trying to get away
from the institutional- stereo-
types ? the long lines, green-
gray walls, the dull appearance
of foods?and create as much
atmosphere as we can, like the
cook in the cowboy hat," ex-
plained Frank Capps, the G.S.A.
official in charge of Govern-
ment buildings.
The trick was to provide all
this and still keep ? the meals
reasonably priced by the stand-
ards of Government workers
who, according to cafeteria
managers, seem to think ? of
lunch as a side benefit of their
employment.

The tract was owned by the Federal

Wiretap Case
DETROIT (UPI)---The Jus-

bomb conspiracy c har ges
against Lawrence (Pun) Pla-

Its wire tap evidence.
The 26-year-o1d co-founder
of the radical but now defunct
White Panther party had spent
most of the 31/2 years since he
was indicted either in hiding
or in jail. He had been on the
FBI's Ten Most Wanted list.
Charges against two other
former White Panther leaders,
John Sinclair, 29, and jack W.
Forrest, 22, were also dropped.
The case was the third aban-
doned by the government
since the June 20 Supreme
Court ruling that wire taps
.against domestic subversive
groups without court .authori-
zation are illegal. .
Plarnondonl SinClair and
Forest were charged with con-

in late 1968. Plamondon was
also charged with the actual
bombing. . ?

,7,-01.F. three secrecy oaths
I signed by Victor L. Mar-
chetti during the -course of
his career as an agent for
t h e Central intelligence
Agency, had come back like
'persistent ghosts to haunt
him. The problem last week
for the 42-year-old ex-CIA
executive - turned - author,
though, was the locale the
CIA "spooks" had chosen:
the' courts.
A U.S. District Court in
Alexandria, Va. ? a suburb
- of Washington ? had grant-
ed the government unprece-
dented "prior restraint" aft-
er the CIA had filed suit
against Marchetti to in Lizzie
him on the subject of intelli-
gence activities in the U.S.
Marchetti, who had turned
to. writing as a way of mak-
ing a living since he quit (in
good graces) his CIA job in
I909, had published one spy
novel and had had publish-
ing offers for other work in
a tnonfiction category.
CIA Alarmed
Given to statements sitch
as, "This excessive secrecy,
the sanctity of the cult of in-
telligence, is just so much
crap," and "In my opinion,
the CIA is not qualified to
decide what violates. nation-
al security," Marchetti had
roused the apprehension of
.his former colleagues
?
nonfiction work. Apparently
alarmed, the CIA 'had then
filed suit in Superior Court,
without informing Marchetti
of its intent to do so.'
The result had been the
temporary restraining or-
der, and the little-noticed
emergence of a test case
that showed signs of major
significance in the contest
between freedom o f the
press and 'government cen-
sorship.
The court had 'accepted
government allegations of 35
breaches of sectjrity (pub
lishing of classified materi-
al) in Marchetti's writings
I n magazines and ? other
forms of publication. Mar-
chetti had admitted only two
of the alleged disclosures:
the code name. of a down-
state Virginia CIA training
"farm," and the title of the
Air Force satellite recon-
naissance organization.
However, on the strength
of -arguments- that the gov-
ernment could obtain ' no
adequate monetary compen-
sation for damage caused by
release of classified materi-
al, and that such disclosure
constituted a violation of
contract, District Court
Judge Albert V. Bryan Jr.
had ruled against Marchetti
and had made the restrain-
ing order permanent. -
The White House reported-

WASHINGTON ? A little-notic.cd?
government suit against an ox-CIA.man is under way and could have
far, greater impact on government
secrecy restrictions than the Penta-
/
gon Papers trial in Los Angeles.
A U.S.-district court in Alexandria,
Va., has enjoined -Victor L. Marchet-
ti, 412, now a writer, from violating
the pledge of secrecy in his CIA con-
tract. It granted the government. un-
precedented "prior restraint" via- ci-
vil process on his writings On intel-
ligence subjects. *
If the government's view is upheld
through appeal courts, authorities
will have a. potent new weapon for
curbing security leaks.
The White House has followed the
case closely and is considering in-
serting- the same CIA secrecy provi-
sion into all government employ-
ment contracts ii the snit is upheld
. in the ccufts,
This would proba.bly inhibit press
contacts with officials who would
become more vulnerable to govern-.
ment legal action. Much less proof is
needed to show a breach of contract
in civil court than the 'heavy bur-
den" required of the government in
criminal CRSOS,like Daniel Ellsberg's,
where intent to harm the national
interest, as well as actual harm to
those interests, must be proved.
? On the other hand, if the courts
uphold all of Marchetti's arguments,.
as presented by the American Civil
Liberties -Union, the CIA contract's
secrecy agreement could be declared
unenforceable and much more intel-
ligence information would become
:public from former CIA employes.
This, aside from making a living,
is Marchetti's declared aim. Tic
wants to open the agency up to
? greater congressional and public
scrutiny and to force the refoi'm of
what he calls its "clandestine-orient-
? ed" attitudes and practices.
"This excessive secrecy, the sanc-
tity of the cult of intelligence, is just
- so much crap," Marchetti said in an
interview in his comfortable subur-
ban home. He alleges there is enor-
mous waste and inadequate congres-
sional control over the CIA's S700
Million annual budget and the oper-
ations of its 17,000 emplbyes. ?
The CIA refuses to discuss the
case.

WASHINGTON CLOSE-UP
konage, to CIA DrEm
-
The American Medical Asso-
ciation, which predictably of-
fers few surprises at its an-
nual meeting, achieved the un-
expected this year.
As one entered the conven-
tion's exhibition hall in San
Francisco's Civic Cent a r,
-one's nostrils were assailed by
an odor more appropriate to
that city's Haight-Ashbury dis-
trict ? an aroma strongly
suggestive of the burning
leaves and blossoms of the fe-
male Cannabis sativa plant.
The scent fired the curiosity
of all in the hall who had ever
sampled marijuana and drew
from the wife of one physician
attending the meeting the re-
mark that she had smelled
that odor many times in the
back of the school bus she
? drives.
That was only-the beginning
of the surprise. Following
one's nose, one soon came
upon a booth housing an exhib-
it on drug abuse which fea-
tured a display about many
drugs including pot, and a de-
vice that generated a synthetic
smoke that was close to, if not
identical with the real thing.
There was still more surpise
to come in this display, which
? it turned out?had won
the gold medal in the AMA's
coveted Billings Prize compe-
tition as one of the outstanding
scientific exhibits of the meet-
ing. The exhibitor was no
mere doctor or pharmaceuti-
cal firm, or even your aver-
? age, run-of-the-mill science-
oriented government bureau.
It was that most unlikely of
contenders for an AMA
award: The . Central
Intelli-
genee Agency.
Dr. Donald Borcherding of
the CIA was on hand to ex-
plain the exhibit's origins.
Like most agencies, he said,
the CIA has . an occupational
health division whose job it is
to promote the well-being of
Its personnel. When CIA offi-
cials at the agency's Langley,
By Mit 1-1 RANDAL
- Va., headquarters bee a me
worried about pot, LSD, speed,
heroin and the like, Borcherd-
ing and his colleagues assem-
bled the display.
According to the CIA medic,
it was an immediate hit, not
only at the Langley "Spook
Farm" but also among groups
in the community, such as
Knights of Columbus lodges
and parent-teacher associa-
tions. The CIA is thinking
about putting together "how-
to-do-it" instructions so that
other groups can build their
own replicas.
Gr an t e d, the crusade
against drug abuse needs al
the help it can get. But the
trouble with the CIA exhibit is
that it does not tell things
strictly as they are. For exam-
ple, i( implies that the use of
marijuana sets the stage for
later use of heroin. This issue
is by no means settled and, as
a matter of fact, there is a
good deal of evidence to sug-
gest that alcohol, rather than
marijuana, is the first drug to
be abused by most peaple who
subsequently become . heroin
addicts.
In any case, many experts
believe that if there is any
connection whatever between
pot and heroin, it is their ille-
gal status and that if the for-
mer were "decriminalized,"
its link with the latter would
tend to disappear.
More important to this dis-
cussion than an argument
about the casual relationship
of the two drugs is the point
that the CIA does not come
into the campaign with com-
pletely clean hands. Reporters
have been hearing for more
than a year that the agency
has been supporting the heroin
traffic in the Golden Triangle
region of Laos, Thailand and
Burma, and that this opium
byproduct has been one of the
more important cargoes car-
ried by Air America, an air-
line operating in Southeast
nght ironic
Asia whose charter business i
almost exclusively with the
CIA. The Golden Triangle re-
gion, incidentally, is said to
grow 70 percent of the world's
illicit opium from which mor-
phine base, morphine and
eventually heroin are derived.
For more details on the
CIA's complicity in the heroin
mess, one might consult an
article entitled "Flowers of
Evil" by historian Alfred W.
McCoy, in the July issue of
Harper's magazine. Part of a
forthcoming book called "The
Politics of Heroin in Southeast
Asia," the article spells out in
detail how Vag Pao, long the
leader of a CIA secret army in
Laos, has become even more
deeply involved in the drug
traffic and what role this traf-
fic has played in the importa-
tion of heorin into the United
States and its use by our
troops in South Vietnam.
Writes McCoy of the situa-
tion: "As a result of direct and
indirect American involve-
ment, opium production has
steadily increased, high-grade
heroin production is flourish-
ing and the Golden Triangle's
POPPY fields have become
linked ? to markets in Europe
and the U.S."
The CIA went away from the
San Francisco meeting with a
gold medal and, no doubt, a
good many doctors who saw
the exhibit went away im-
pressed. Some of them proba-
bly learned for the first time
what pot smells like.
But for others there was a
bitter incongruity in the gov-
ernment's super-secret spy
arm winning a medal for an
exhibit on the horrors of drug
abuse. To some it was a little
/like the Mafia getting a top
V award for a display of the
evils of extortion, prostitution
and gambling ? and a few of
the more socially aware physi-
cians present dM not hesitate
to say so.

tied over the next several months. No-
body has mentioned how much we have
wasted on research and development.
The CHAIRMAN. The time of the gen-
tleman from California has expired. ?
(By unanimous consent, Mr. LEGGETT
was allowed to proceed for an additional
minutes.)
Mr. LEGGETT. Mr. Chairman, no-
body has mentioned how much we have
wasted on the full 12 site deployment
program, which is clearly banned by the
SALT agreement..
I am sure there is nobody in this room
who doubts that the SALT Treaty is go-
ing to be approved, and also the law
which has to be enacted by this House
and by the other body respecting the
limitation on offensive weapons.
So far as the Safeguard system is con-
cerned, our whole effort in building the
progra.m around Malmstrom and Grand
Forks was to guarantee that we would
have a retaliatory force that would be
Invulnerable to a first strike by the So-
viet Union. So therein lies the reason
why we were stampeding ahead to build
at this billion dollar rate.
We have to recogni,ze that as a result
of the SALT agreements and our ability
to monitoi? 'front very high altitude there
will be no ability on behalf of the Soviet
Union to effectively make a first strike.
Therefore, we have no reason to protect
the Minuteman missile sites.
I believe we should go ahead and per-
haps complete them, but why, I say, at
this Scandalously high rate of accelera-
tion, in view of the fact that we have
probably wasted in excess of $2 billion
making this a _bargaining chip? We can
go ahead to proceed at the $403 million
rate rather than the $700 million-plus
rate and still complete Grand Forks, and
study whether or not we need a Minute-
man site at what we call the National
Command Center, which now is Wash-
ington.
I always thought that, our National
Command 'Center was in a rock hole at
Colorado Springs, but now it is Wash-
/Ili gton
I know we have hard sited the Penta-
gon and hard sited the CIA. I say that if
the National Conunand Center in the
White House, why, the President is only
there about one-third of the time, and we
ought to be spending at least two-thirds
of this money at Key Biscayne or at San
Clemente.
do not mean 'to he facetious, but we
are really stampeding ahead trying to
meet the Soviet Union because they have
the Golosh system around Moscow. I be-
lieve the record shows that as the result
of the deployment of the mechanical and
rather obsolete Golosh system around
Moscow, according to Some of our experts,
including Secretary Laird, Moscow is less
secure today than it was before the de-
ployment of the Galosh system.
Now, if we want to make Washington
less secure, all we have to do is go ahead
and stampede forward and put the 100
ABM sites around the city. That means,
instead of just targeting two or three
ICBM's for the Capital, we will be tar-
geting about 102 or 103.
My God! I hope that ABM system
works, Otherwise we are really in worse
shape, because if we have only a 75-per-
cent effectiveness rate out of it, we have
multiplied the missiles that will be
knocking out the Capital by several thou-
sand percent. So I think we can really
slow down in this program.
The: President has said as he signed
the SALT agreements that we want to
stop the arms race. Secretary Laird has
said, let us stop the arms race, but we
have to accelerate these other programs
and be ready in 5 or 10 years when the
5-year agreement on offensive missiles
expires.
I do not think we ought to accelerate
under the SALT umbrella. That is the
fundamental question that has to be de-
cided by this Congress. I will ask for a
record vote on this amendment. I think
we have to either take the President at
his word that he wants to deescalate the
arms race, or else we are going to be
spending all our money for these quality
accelerations under the terms of the
agreement. I think we can well afford to
cut out at least $350 million from this
item without degrading our defense one
Iota, but merely looking forward to not
having quite so expensive bargaining
chips as we have had in the past.
Mr. ARENDS-. Mr. Chairman, I rise in
opposition to the amendment.
Mr. Chairman, I would like to have
the attention of the gentleman who just
preceded me, the gentleman from Cali-
fornia.
I thought you were doing pretty well
until you mentioned Bob McNamara,.
Then you lost me.
Mr. Chairman, as a result of reduc-
tions, made by SALT, the bill reduces the
Safeguard ABM authorization $532 mil-
lion below the original request.
The amendment of the gentleman from
California, would delete an additional
$350 million from the Safeguard pro-
gram..
The gentleman's amendment would re-
sult in eventually raising the cost of the
system. The components of the Safe-
guard's complex system are procured
over a period of years but the amend-
ment would cut so deeply that it would
interrupt the pipeline and force a reduc-
tion in the production process.
The site at Grand Forks, N. Da.k., is 90
percent completed. Dr. Kissinger has told
us very clearly that this was one of the
big incentives in getting the Russians to
agree to sign an arms limitation agree-
ment. To fail to complete the deployment
new would be sheer folly. It would either
mean that eventual completion of the
system would be more expensive or it
would mean failure to complete the sys-
tem which would take away the incen-
tive for the Russians to continue further
arms negotiations.
Some of the materials on order for
Malmstrom, Whiteman, and Warren, the
discontinued sites, can be used at the
Washington, D.C., site. But the gentle-
man' amendment would cut so deep that
it would prevent continued orderly pro-
curement of materials and probably
eventually raise the cost of that site.
I earnestly urge that the amendment
be defeated.

Rumours are rampant in Washington that a Britieh.
film unit has been allowed to wander inside the super-
secret headquarters of the Central Intelligence Agency.
It is the first .time in all its bizarre history that
the agency has thrown open it's doors to cameras, and
I gather the whole affair caused some angst at high
. levels in the U.S. intelligence ,community.
Michael Winner, the normally witty and talkative
director who has been in Washington to shoot his new
' ? film, "Scorpio," a spy thriller starring Burt Lancaster,
Paul Scofield and Alain Delon, is shrinkingly reticent
on the subject. Ile refuses comment of any kind.
? Other sources say the film publicity will not mention
the 'extent of the CIA's hospitality, and the full story
of this extraordinary episode may not be known for
years.
. The .. CIA until now it has managed to preserve
a monastic privacy by tight security and a press office
_which seems to have taken Trappist vows.
Not long ago the CIA wanted to talk Congress into
buying them extra land in Langley, Va., so as to make
the headquarters even harder for outsiders to approach.
; ? .
Some agents climbed to the top of a nearby hill and
took pictures of the director's seventh-floor office using'a telephoto lens.
Then they enlarged the original photograph many
tithes. In the final print the grainy and blurred head
of the CIA .director could just be discerned, working
at his desk. ? They showed it. to Congress which quickly
agreed to buy the land.
Now this fabulous Vatican of Western intelligence
, ? has been breached by a young English film director.
"Scorpio" is a taut. suspense drama in which Burt
? Lancaster plays an American agent suspected of selling
out to the Russians and Alain Delon is a freelance
assassin blackmailed by the CIA into trying to murder
him. The script reeks of alienation as do many of
Winner's films, but it makes no severe moral judgments
about the sometimes ruthless methods of American es-
ptonage.
"We only show the CIA killing nasty agents," Win-
ner said. leaning back in his director's chair and puffing
at a $3 cigar. 'Young people in America think the CIA
shbuld not exist, but that is naive."
The abundantly talented Winner, who manages to
look simultaneously debauched and cherubic, says he
found. the CIA officials "terribly charming and cheerful
and gentlemanly at all times."
?
"Scorpio" has created the biggest movie sensation
In Washington since Otto Pretninger ordered senators
around during the shooting of "Advise and Consent"
nearly 10 years ago.
One congressman, James Wright of Texas, dressed
up as a priest and collected $25 for a days work as
an extra when Winner filmed a sequence at Washington
airport. Huge mobs of onlookers assembled in Georae-
' town to watch Burt Lancaster shoot John Colicos with
a gun wrapped in a brown- paper bag,
At a' roller-Skating rink, all sounds drowned by the
'throb of a mighty Wurlitzer pipe organ, Winner ex-
plained that he keeps away from studios wherever
possible and takes his cameras athong real people in
authentic surroundings.
"Its like modern guerrilla warfare," *he said. "I
go out into the streets and shoot. If I get into trouble
in one place, I can move somewhere else. And it saves
spending large sums of money on extras. If I neen

; Three Young Marines sta-
tioned in Arlington will have to
be a little more careful in the
future what they do for excite-
ment while they are drinking.
If they aren't, they could end
up in jail.
The three were arrested ear-
ly the morning of May 6 after
they entered the super-secret
Central Intelligence Agency
complex in McLean by climb-
ing over twei fences ? one 8
feet high and topped with
harbed. wire.
In court yesterday on
'charges of trespassing,
Charles Stephen Huff, 24, told
Fairfax County Court:Judge J.
? Mason Grove that he and his
two companions meant no
harm but were just "intrigued
by the glamor" of breaking
into, the CIA grounds;
Larry Peter Kreps, 21, testi-
fied that the three had been
drinking and had "no destruc-
.tive intent." Perry Wayne
Weatherly, 22, said they left
the house where they had been
drinking while watching kbas-
ketball game on television and
drove down the George Wash-.
ington Memorial Parkway.
WHEN THEY SAW the
fences surrounding the CIA
grounds, they climbed over
them in the name of "adven-

they had had no intent to de-
stroy anything.

:whole affair, telling the Ma-
rines that their escapade was
"not a Halloween prank" but
"serious and in bad judge-
ment."
After telling them "this is
what happens when you start
drinking," he fined them $100
each and sentenced them to 10
days but suspended the jail
term as long as they stayed on
good behavior.
The three were found on the
CIA grounds between 2 and 3
a.m. near a large electric
transformer which not only
serves the spy installation but
much of McLean as well,

SECURITY GUARDS had
seen the Marine's car parked
near- the installation and
called on Fairfax County po-
lice to help search the
grounds. The Marines were ar-
rested about 45 minutes later.

of the county supervisors, CiA

gation, a review of the facts

Three Marine Corps corpo-
rals have been charged with
trespassing after breaking
into the Central Intelligence
Agency compound in Langley-
and getting to within 500 feet
of the power plant.
Some authorities say they
think the Marines entered the
highly guarded spy headquar-
ters on a dare. But Richard
Helms, CIA director, said he
did not rule out the possibility
Of a sabotage attempt.
The incident occurred be-
tween 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. on
May 6. Security guards spot-
ted a car ? parked on George-
town Pike near the CIA head-
quarters and requested assist-
ance from Fairfax County po-
lice.
After a search of approxi-
mately 45 minutes, according
to a police sergeant who par-
ticipated, the Mkrines were
found and arrested.
.?
? ? FAIRFAX POLICE identi-
' ifed the three arrested as Lar-
? ry. Peter Kreps, 21, Charles
. Stephen Huff, 24, and Terry
Wayne :Weatherly, 22.
In a letter to Dr. William S.
' ?
?
?
erze
Hoofiagle, chairman of the
Fairfax Board of Supervisors,
CIA boss Helms wrote in part.:
"I have been informed of an
incident which occurred early
in the morning on 6 May 1972
a n d involved unauthorized
physical penetration of this
agency's headquarter com-
pound. Although the case is
still under investigation, a re-
view of the facts available to
us now does not rule out the
possibility of sabotage." ?
The letter goes on to thank
Members of the Fairfax police
department for their assist-
ance.
An officer who participated
in the search said the Marines
were carrying a flashlight and
a pair of pliers. They had
scaled a four-foot outer fence
and then had 'climbed the
main perimeter fence, which
is eight feet high and tipped
with barbed wire. They were
climbing a third inner fence
guarding the power plant
when they were captured, the
cfficer said. ?
ASKED HOW three men
would have penetrated far
into the compound and re-
mained undiscovered for near-
ly an hour without being spot-
ted by security guards, a CIA
jspokesman said yesterday the
intrusion was not regarded as
a major breach of security.
"The whole tring was mi-
nor," said the spokesman.
"Nothing happened."
The Marines were taken by
Fairfax police to the McLean
substation and charged with
trespassing on federal proper-
ty, a state offense. They were
released on $1,000 bond each,
police said. The men were
questioned at length by federal
authorities but no federal
charges have been filed.
A Marine Corps public infor-
mation officer said the men
were members of A Company
attached to battalion head-
quarters at Henderson Hall in
Arlington.
"They have been returnedlo
a normal work routine and
they are under no restraint,"
the officer said. "It is a civil
matter at this point and no
Marine Corps action is antici-
pated until after the civil ac-
tion is completed."
Weatherly ' was reached by
telephone yesterday but re-
fused to discuss the incident.

IZ Yreedoan Inalienable?
If not, it will be alienated, and ultimately destroyed.
That is the paramount issue of the Victor Marchetti censor-
:ship case. [See Marchetti's "The CIA: The president's
Loyal Tool"; The Nation, April 3.]
Marchetti, now 42, graduated from Pennsylvania State
University in 1955 with a degree in Russian studies and
history. Ile was recruited for the CIA by a professor, who,
.interestingly enough, was 'secretly on the agency's payroll
as a talent scout. In time, Marchetti was promoted to
the CIA executive staff .and served finally as executive
assistant to Adm. Rufus L. Taylor, deputy director from
1966 to 1969. Marchetti was with the agency for fourteen
years, resigning in the same year as did Admiral Taylor.
Obviously, Marchetti knows a lot about the CIA?that is
part of the trouble.
Ile was well thought of by his colleagues. Richard
Helms, CIA director, presented him with an autographed
picture inscribed, "To Vic?With appreciation for his
support." But the longer Marchetti served the CIA the
less he 'appreciated it and .its work. Among his reasons
for Ic.aVing he cites "the clandestine attitude, the amorality
of ..it all, the cold-war mentality?these kinds of things
made me feel that the agency was really out of step with
the times." .And: "It's one of my strong beliefs that the
CIA has to be more tightly pverviewed by 'Congress. As
it is now, the agency operates almost exclusively under
the authority of the President." Thus the CIA is one of
the factors in the subordination of the legislative branch
to the executive. For that matter, once it is let 'loose on a
project, the agency is subordinate: to the exeCutive itself
only in, a very loose sense. As everyone now knows, it is
carrying 'on a war in Laos at a cost of roughly $500 mil-
lion a year, using tribesmen as mercenaries and running
its own airlines, etc. In the Kansas City area it maintains
an arsenal, with a "huge inventory" of weapons, for its,/
foreign operations; it has bases for training. and 9ther
purposes elsewhere in the United States. -
The Marchetti case assumes constitutional importance
because Mr. Marchetti, when he joined the CIA, signed
the usual agreement not to write or talk about the agency's
activities even after he left it. Marchetti came to the at-
tention .of The Nation when he wrote. a spy novel, The
Rope Dancer, which had apparent reference to the CIA.
Since this was in.fictional form it does not appear to have
agitated the CIA management; nor did The Nation article
which, together with some interviews Marchetti gave to
newspapers, was read 15y Admiral Taylor, who had some
reservations about accuracy but concluded that there was
nothing damaging in .any of the material. But when Mar-
chetti contracted with Alfred A. Knopf to write a non-
fiction book about the CIA, the government got into
action. Although Marchetti is willing to have the CIA re-
view the book for classified material, the government went
before U.S. District Judge Albert V. Bryan., Jr. in Alex-
andria, Va., and obtained a temporary restraining order
prohibiting Marchetti from writing the book for Knopf?
a book of which he has not yet set down a single line.
The American Civil Liberties Union is trying to get the
restraining ApprovedeEotoRaleaseu2001(13/04 : C IA-RDP80-01601 R000100100001 -2
The question raised by the action on behalf of the goy;
ernment is whether a U.S. citizen can agree to waive. iiis
freedom of 'conscience, of thought, of moral sentiment in
the manner prescribed by the CIA. The case dramatizes
the fact that the CIA is essentially an alien institution--
alien to American custom, alien to the Constitution, and
incompatible with both the forms and the spirit 'Of democ-
racy. In our view, Marchetti not only has the right but
the moral obligation to write his book, just as it was his
moral obligation to write the article .commissioned by
The Nation.
A ruling to that effect by the federal courts would not
impose an unreasonable limitation on the proper and law-
ful activities of the CIA, or any other agency. It can set
up rules, office policies, and normal administrative means
of enforcement, but it cannot compel a former employee
to waive his freedom to?say or write what he sees fit, once
his employment is terminated. If an agency of the govern-
ment deems something that has been published to be in
violation of law, it may proceed against the author and
publisher, but pre-censorshi is repugnant to American
institutions. STATINTL

Starting tomorrow, the spring offensive of the

" High on the list of targets are General Electric,

and ihe Air Force.

Teace," recently organized in secret by a coalii;

In Lexington is the first big target.
, It is hoped that 1000 revolutionaries and their
? sympathizers will make 10 calls each, the assump-
tion 'being that 10,000 calls are more than enough
to immobilize even the largest corporation. -
Callers are being asked either to say "StOp,
,the war," before dialing again to repeat the
message, or to ask to speak to plant exec-
utives. Ultimately "bottling them up" in ex-
tended verbal harassment over the presi-
dent's escalation of the air war in Indochi? .

TO INSURE telephone saturation at the
Bedford plant, the "Dial for Peace" organi-.
zers have plucked its number from more than
a dozen Raytheon telephone listings, and have
circulated it in printed form throughout the
greater Boston area.

the Boston office of the Central Intelligence

The telephone campaign will end Friday',
following all 'day harassment of Polaroid's
main switchboard in Cambridge.
Because of possible legal ramifications,
no one group is claiming credit for the or-
ganization of "Dial for Peace."
THE MAJOR revolutionary and pacifist
groups in Boston and Cambridge readily ad-
mit their "familiarity" with the week-long
campaign, but are unwilling to say 'much
beyond believing the idea to be a good one."
At the Greater Boston Peace Action Co-
alition's (GBPAC) Cambridge headquarters
last Friday ,spokesmen disclaimed origina-
tion of the idea to utilize telephone harass-
ment as a feature of the continuing spring
offensive, but thought the. idea "effective."
GBPAC, a spearhead of this year's spring
offensive alona with the revolutionary
People's Coalition For Peace And Justice
(PCPJ), believes the latter group to be the
sponsor of the printed instructions outlining
the ? telephone campaign.
Those instructions were widely distribu-
uted throughout Boston and Cambridge on
Friday.
Printed on van-colored letter size hand-
bills, the ,instructions included by name and
number, all five daily targets.
Anonymous, the handbills specified that,
"1,000 people" place 10 calls each, the
"10,000" total adding up to a kind of "do-it-
yourself" campaign certain "to stop busi-:
ness for a day."
THE HANDBILL'S final line read: "If
they won't stop the war, we'll stop them."
At PCPJ's Brookline street, Cambridge
headquarters, however, denials 'were issued
Friday that they had put the telephone in-
structions in circulation.
Like GBPAC, PCPJ spokesmen thought
the telephone campaign to be worthwhile,
but believed it probably originated at the
Cambridge offices of the Quaker American
Friends Service Committee (AFSC).
The friends didn't seem to mind that

ne Thing About CIA-It's Free :
WASHINGTON, April 13?In an effort
to Cheer taxpayers just before the in-
come tax filing deadline, I have made
an exhaustive study of the 1,103 page
efederal budget book searching for bar-. -
gains.
On page 860 there is a real winner. It
is the Central Intelligence Agency. Ac-
cording to the auditors, the CIA is not
costing the taxpayers one red cent this
year. In 1971, yes, it cost $2 million for
a new building. But today, nothing.
This is amazing, especially when one
considers all of the accounts of how the
CIA is running airlines in South Ameri-
ca, financing armies in Cambodia, and
diggihg all of those tunnels under the
Berlin Wall.
According to some accounts, the CIA
is at least as large as the State Depart-
ment, and over there in Foggy Bottom
the administrative cost is roughly $250
million, depending upon how Sen. Wil-
liam Fulbright [D., Ark.] feels at any
given moment. ,
Of course, the CIA is located in the
low rent district of Virginia in the hills
and valleys near the Potomac River.
Bit even so, nothing is not very much
to pay for even that kind of land and
all of the people walking around on it.
And, there are a lot of people working
in those buildings, according to my as-
sociate, Hit Henderson, who slipped in
there the other day with the cleaning
women on a No. 56 bus. Henderson re-
ported that he saw several hundred
cars in the free parking lots accorded
' to the spies and assistant spies.
In addition, several hundred other
persons were coming to work on the
second shift as the ' day-time crowd
rushed home with their attache cases. ?
Henderson slipped in under the guise
of a nursery worker [trees, not babies]
and .also reported back that the CIA's
formal gardens were nicely landscaped,
the furniture in the headquarters build-
ing was new and modern, and there
were deep-piled rugs on some of the
executive wing floors.
He mentioned that the sign-in sheet
for visitors must have Cost at least
$100, namely because it was on a swivel
and made several copies. On the way
out, Henderson noted that his stashed
car, waiting in the visitors parking lot,
was blocked by other visitors.
Oh, yes, the murals on the walls were
modern art, altho Henderson himself
prefers the classics. He could not esti-
mate a cost, if there was one.
/ In a further effort to'find out hoWs the
CIA operated on a no-cost basis, I per-
sonally got in touch [the method must
remain secret] with Col. C. Gordon
Furbish [ret.], one of the most knowl!
edgeable persons in the metropolitan
area of Washington. [Furbish is the
creator of the saying, "Remember, no
matter where you go, there you are."]
"I am not at liberty to discuss the
financial operations of the CIA," Fur-
bish said for the record. "However, I
can tell you on a not-for-attribution ba-
sis that they snitch money out of the
rest of the federal budget with special
code designations."
The colonel confided that the code
word for the CIA in the rest of the
budget was listed under "things." Sure
enough, he was right. It's even on the
White House budget, put down as
"transportation for things?$1,000.". In
the Department of Agriculture, "trans-
portation of Olngs" was recorded at
$63,000. In tie Rural Electrification Ad-
ministration, "things" cost $38,000.
Even the sub budgets listed "things."
And there you are, another Anderson
expose: The CIA's money comes from
"things." And if readers think they are
being bearded, the whole "thing," for
CIA and everybody else, the entire fed-
eral budget, adds up to roughly $256
billion this year. So, tonight, if you get
indigestion while filling out income tax
returns, take a couple of pills. You can
tell your wife "I can't believe that I

Mr. Marchetti was on the director's stag of the CIA when
he resigned from the agency two years ago. Since then, his
novel The Rope-Dancer has been published by Grosset &
'Dunlap; he is now working on a book-length critical analysis
of the CIA.
The Central Intelligence Agency's role in U.S. foreign af-
fairs ? is, like the organization itself, clouded by secrecy
and confused by misconceptions, many of them deliberately
promoted by the CIA with the cooperation of the news
media. Thus to understand the covert mission of this
agency and to estimate its value to the political leadership,
one must brush myths aside and penetrate to the sources
and circumstances from which the agency draws its au-
thority and support. The CIA is no accidental, romantic
aberration; it is exactly what those who govern the country
intend it to bd?the clandestine mechanism whereby the
executive branch influences the internal affairs of other
nations.
In conducting. such operations, particularly' those that
are inherently risky, the CIA acts at the direction and with
the approval of the President or his Special Assistant for
National Security Affairs. Before initiating action in the
field, the agency almost invariably establishes that its oper-
ational plans accord with the aims of the 'administration
and, when possible, the sympathies of Congressional lead-
ers. (Sometimes the endorsement or assistance of influen-
tial individuals and institutions outside government is also
sought.) CIA directors have been remarkably well aware
of the dangers they court, both personally and for the
agency, by not gaining specific official sanction for their
covert operations. They are, accordingly, often more care-
ful than are administrators in other areas of the bureau-
cracy to inform the White House of their activities and to
: seek Presidential blessing. To take the blame publicly
for an occasional operational blunder is a small price to
pay in return for the protection of the Chief Executive and
the men who control the Congress.
? The U-2 incident of 1960 was viewed by many as an
outrageous blunder by the CIA, wrecking the Eisenhower-
Khrushchev summit conference in Paris and setting U.S.-
? Soviet relations back several years. Within the inner circles
of the administration, however, the shoot-down was
shrugged off as just one of those things that happen in the
chancy business of intelligence. After attempts to deny
responsibility for the action had failed, the President openly
defended and even praised the work of the CIA, although
for obvious political reasons he avoided noting that he had
authorized the disastrous flight. The U-2 program against
the USSR was canceled, but work on its follow-on system,
the A-11 (now the SR-71,) was speeded up. Only the
launching of the reconnaissance satellites put an end to
espionage against the Soviet Union by manned aircraft.
The A-11 development program was completed, neverthe-
less, on the premise that it, as well as the U-2, might be
useful elsewhere.

The reorganization of the U.S. intelligence commu-

the clandestine action arm of American foreign policy.
Most of the few changes are intended to improve the finan-
cial management of the community, especially in the mili-
tary intelligence services where growth and the technical
costs of collecting information are almost out of control.
Other alterations are designed to improve the meshing of
the cammunity's product with national security planning
and to provide the White House with greater control
over operations policy. However, none of that implies a
reduction of the CIA's role in covert foreign policy action.
In fact, the extensive rzview conducted by the White House
staff in preparation for the reorganization drew heavily on
advice provided by the CIA and that given by former
agency officials through such go-betweens as the influential
Council on Foreign Relations. Earlier in the Nixon Admin-
istration, the Council had responded to a similar request
by recommending that in the future the CIA should con-
centrate its covert pressure tactics on Latin American,
African and Asian targets, using more foreign nationals as
agents and relying more on private U.S. corporations and
other institutions as covers. Nothing was said about reduc-

American forces on Taiwan, re-

9,000, are there to help defend
the Chinese Nationalist refuge
and they also support Ameri-

there are sizable repair facili-
ties.Transports often stop there

American defense responsi-

exercised by the Taiwan De-

Vice Adm. Walter Baumberger.
The command has only a few
hundred men but could be en-

Truman said that the United
States would . not become in-
volved in any conflict over the
island, to which Generalissimo
Chiang Kai-shek and his fol-
lowers had fled.
But when the Chinese Com-
munists entered the Korean war
toward the end of 1950, Mr.
Truman affirmed American sup-
port for the nationalists and be-
gan military assistance to Tai-
wan. President Eisenhower in-
creased military aid.

-' Por example, Rand Corp.' Sinologist William- W. Whitson" ?
STATI NTL, has come up with a theory fitting the known facts. It suggests
that the power struggle was the culmination of a debate within
? the Chinese hierarchy over ailocation of resources to China's
nuclear weapons program?and that Chou's victory over Lin
will make China less of a threat to U.S. allies in Asia in the
? ,Immediate future than it has been considered in the past.
Whitson, a military specialist, is one of those China ex-
perts who does research for the government and also maintains
ties with the academic community. His new book, "The
Chinese High Command, 1927-1971?a History of Communist
Military Politics," will be published this spring.
According to Whitson, Lin Piao vigorously opposed last
year's decision by Chou?with Mao's concurrence?to reduce
tensions with the United States. .
?The reason was that TA n and his supporters in the Air
Force and Navy needed the supposed American threat to
justify development of bigger and bigger nuclear weapons and
long-range missiles to deliver them.
The cost of China's nuclear and missile programs are 2%
.of the still underdeveloped country's total national product?
,so high that Whitson argues that "some people across the river
(a euphemism in Washington for CIA headquarters in Langley, /
.Va.) say that we ought to encourage them to keep at it, because
it will make them go bankrupt."
Challenge fo Lin
Whitson's contention is that Chou En-lai, in contrast to Lin,
irecognized that the real threat to China was from Russia?
: which had massed one million troops on China's northern border
and threatened a "surgical strike" against Chinese nuclear in-
stallations?instead of from the United States, which the premier
'could see was in fact withdrawing from Southeast Asia.

ktjl NE of the eight black-bound loose-leaf volumes that
President Nixon studied in preparation for his journey
to Peking contained a top secret analysis by the Central
i Intelligence Agency of the strange and still only parti-
ally explained events in China last fall?and the effect
.that the internal power struggle they revealed may
have on his summit talks, with the surviving Communist
leaders.
What went on in China in mid-September is still shrouded
In mystery. Communist cadres in the provinces have been told
that Defense Minister Lin Piao?until then the regime's no. 2
mall?was involved in a conspiracy to assassinate party Chair-
man Mao Tse-tung and that when toe plot failed, Lin and his
cohorts were killed in a plane crash in Mongolia while trying
to flee to the Soviet Union.
A British-built Trident jetliner, one of four purchased by
China; from Pakistan and used exclusively by high-ranking
Chinese officers, did indeed crash M Mongolia, 100 miles be-
yond the Chinese border, on the night of Sept. 12. But American
analysts doubt that Lin was among the seven men and two
women whose bodies were recovered from the airplane, burned
beyond recognition. .
But it is clear that the power struggle has ended?at least
for the time being?and that a moderate faction led by Premier
Chou En-lai triumphed over a radical faction led by Lin Piao.
'Lin -and hundreds of his followers have beenn purged, but are
though to be still alive.
Whatever the reasons for the purge, the timing for it seems
to have been sparked by Chou's invitation to Nixon to visit the

To Cope with the Soviet threat, China needed tactical nuclear
-weapons as well as more modern conventional armament?not
necessarily long-range ICBMs. Therefore, it is Whitson's belief
that Chou wanted to slow down the costly advanced weapors
program and thus welcomed Nixon's overtures to_end the 23- .
year-old confrontation between the United States and China.
- But the invitation to Nixon presented a challenge to Lin and
the generals associated with past strategic planning. Whitson

ation, probably including Lin Piao, Wu Fa-hsien, Li Tso-p'eng
and Huang Yung-sherg, the historical image of the United
States as the principal adversary most heavily armed with nu-
clear weapons targeted against China must have been the cor-
nerstone of their premises for strategic planning and weapons
development.
"President Nixon's visit to China could not have been a wel-
come shift in the image that had presumably guided their
strategic thinking for 20 years."
Smaller bangs
Since the mid-1960s, China has exploded 13 nuclear devices,
including three hydrogen bombs with yields of three megatons
each, in 1968, 1969 and 1970. But the last two tests, in November,
1971 and January of -this year, were of smaller devices with
yields of 20 kilotons or less?the size of the Hiroshima A-bomb.
According to the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, the
latest two tests could either have been of triggers for larger
thermonuclear weapons or of prototypes of comparatively small,
tactical nuclear warheads. If they were the latter, it would tend
to confirm Whitson's theory that-Chou, after defeating Lin, has
shifted priorities to concentrate on medium and intennediate
range missiles instead of a costly intercontinental missile -
arsenal.
"Such an emphasis would provide an immediate deterrent
against the Soviet Union," Whitson says. "It would also promise
the greatest intercontinental utility once an appropriate sub- ?
marine or two had been built."
? If Whitson is right, this will be disconcerting to U.S. mil-
itary planners, who have advocated construction of an anti-
ballistic missile defense system for protection of the United
States against Chinese ICBM's expected to be operational as
-early as 1975, as much as against the nuclear-tipped Soviet
intercontinental rockets already in their underground silos.

HE adventurous operations
often bordering on the bizarre
which the Central Intelligence
Agency pursued in many parts
of the world are usually
ascribed to one man: Allen Dulles.
They culminated in the abortive in-
vasion of Cuba in 1961. When Dulles
departed from the directorship of CIA
after the Bay of Pigs debacle, he
certainly left an indelible stamp of his
influence as the architect of the mighty
CIA edifice and its worldwide rami-
fications.
The policy of his successors has,
however, been no less forceful. CIA
activities under its present director,
Richard McG arrah Helms, may
appear less aggressive because they are
? being conducted with greater caution
and less publicity, and because they
have been adroitly adjusted to the
changing climate in international poli-
tics. In the past CIA gained notoriety
by promoting revolutions in Latin
American banana republics, and sup-
porting anti-communist regimes in
South-East Asia. Its operations in
Africa were more skilfully camou-
flaged. For many years they had been
on a limited scale because the CIA had
relied on the British secret service to
provide intelligence from an area
where the British had unsurpassed ex-
perience and long-established sources
of information. But with the emergence
of the many African independent
countries, the wave of "anti-colonial-
ist" emotions, and the growing in-
filtration of Africa by Soviet and
Chinese "advisers", British influence
declined. Washington forcefully
stepped, through CIA, into the breach;
with the avowed aim of containing
communist expansion.
. . .
Financial investments in new in-
dustrial and mining enterprises, and
lavish economic aid to the emerging
governments of the "underdeveloped"
countries, paved the road for the influx
of hundreds of CIA agents. Some com-
bined their intelligence: assignments
with genuine jobs as technical, agri-
cultural and scientific advisers.

? THE CIA AND DECISION-MAKING
By Chester L. Cooper
"The most fundamental method of work ... is to determine our working policies ac-
cording to the actual conditions. When we study the causes of the mistakes we have made,
we find that they all arose because we departed from the actual situation ? .. and were
subjective in determining our working policies."--"The Thoughts of Mao Tse-tung."
IN bucolic McLean, Virginia, screened by trees and sur-
rounded by a high fence, squats a vast expanse of concrete
and glass known familiarly as the "Pickle Factory," and
more formally as "Headquarters, Central Intelligence Agency."
Chiselled into the marble which is the only relieving feature of
the building's sterile main entrance are the words, "The Truth
Shall Make You Free." The quotation from St. John was
personally chosen for the new building by Allen W. Dulles over
the objection of several subordinates who felt that the Agency,
then still reeling from the Bay of Pigs debacle, should adopt a
.somewhat less lofty motto. (In those dark days of late 1961, some
suggested that a more appropriate choice would be "Look Before
You Leap.") But Dulles had a deeper sense of history than
most. Although he was a casualty of the Bay of Pigs and never
sat in the Director's office with its view over the Potomac, he /
left a permanent mark not only on the Agency which he had
fashioned but on its building which he had planned. ,
Allen Dulles was famous among many and notorious among
some for his consummate skill as an intelligence operative
("spook" in current parlance), but one of his greatest contribu-
tions in nurturing the frail arrangements he helped to create to
provide intelligence support to 'Washington's top-level foreign-
policy-makers.
Harry Truman, whose Administration gave birth to both the
National Security Council and the Central Intelligence Agency,
recalls that, "Each time the National Security Council is about
.to consider a certain policy?let us say a policy having to do
with Southeast Asia?it immediately calls upon the CIA to
present an estimate of the effects such a policy is likely to
have. . . .1 President Truman painted a somewhat more cozy
relationship between the NSC and the CIA than probably
existed during, and certainly since, his Administration. None
the less it is fair to say that the intelligence community, and espe-
cially the CIA, played an important advisory role in high-level
policy deliberations during the I9505 and early 196os.
To provide the most informed intelligence judgments on the
effects a contemplated policy might have on American na-
tional security interests, a group especially tailored for the task
was organized in 1950 within the CIA. While this step would
probably have been taken sooner or later, the communist victory

In late November the Central Intel-
ligence Agency conducted a series of
"senior seminars:: so that some of its
Important bureaucrats could consider
its public image. I was invited to
attend one session and to give my
views on the proper role of the
Agency. I suggested that its legitimate
activities were limited to studying
newspapers and published statistics,
?listening to the radio, thinking about
the world, interpreting data of recon-
naissance satellites, and occasionally
* publishing the names of foreign spies. I
had been led by conversations with a
number of CIA officials to believe that
they were thinking along the same
lines. One CIA man after' another
eagerly joined the discussion to assure
me that the days of the flamboyant
covert operations :were over. The
upper-class amateurs of the OSS who
stayed to mastermind operations in
\iGuatemala, Iran, the Congo, and else-
where?Allen Dulles, Kermit Roosevelt,
Richard Bissell, Tracy Barnes, Robert
Amory, Desmond Fitzgerald?had died
or departed. .
In their place, I was assured, was a
small army of professionals devoted to
preparing intelligence "estimates" for
the President and collecting informa-
tion the clean, modern way, mostly
with sensors, computers, and sophis-
ticated reconnaissance devices. Even
Gary Powers, the U-2 pilot, would now
be as much a museum piece as Mata
-Hari. (There are about 18,000 em-
ployees in the CIA and 200,000 in the
entire "intelligence community" itself.
The cost of maintaining them is some-
where between $5 billion and S6
billion annually. The employment
figures do not include foreign agents or
mercenaries, such as the CIA's 100,000-
man hired army in Laos.)
A week after my visit to the "senior
?inse inar" Newsweek ran a long story
n "the new espionage" with a picture
of CIA Director Richard Helms on the
cover. The reporters clearly had spoken
to some of the same people I had. As

one sense.

The world of Richard Helms and his beet
"specialists" does indeed differ .from ized
that of Allen Dulles. Intelligence organ- Hell
izations, in spite of their predilection
for what English judges used to call
"frolics of their own," are servants of
policy. When policy changes, they
must eventually change too, although
because of the atmosphere of secrecy
and deception in Which they operate,
such changes are exceptionally hard to
control. To understand the "new
espionage" one must see it as partof

But we cannot comprehend recent lige
developments in the "intelligence Com- ner

Mr. Helms and his employees actually Pr(

journalists from making the attempt.
"You've just got to trust us. We are

made each year to the small but
growing number of senators who want
a closer check on the CIA. In asking,
on November 10, for a "Select Com-
mittee on the Coordination of United
States Activities Abroad to oversee
activities of the Central Intelligence
Agency," Senator Stuart Symington
noted that "the .subcommittee having
oversight of the Central Intelligence
Agency has not met once this year."
Symington, a former Secretary of

VIENTIANE, Dec. 21?
Communist forces have re-
captured the Plain of Jars
in northern Laos two
months earlier than in the
-last dry season, raising
doubts here that govern-
pent forces will be able to
retain a toehold to retake
the strategic area next year.
Some CIA sources suggest
that with the added time
.gained from the early capture
of the plain yesterday, the
North Vietnamese and Pathet
Lao forces may move south-
west toward Long Cheng,
headquarters of the CIA and
Moo tribesmen, less than 30
miles from the plain's south-
ern edge.
? [Wire services reported to-
day that Long Cheng was at-
tacked early today by 20 Com-
munist commandos who dam-
aged three aircraft and killed
three Laotians.]
All U.S. government sources
here indicated that Gen. yang
Pao, commander of progovern-
ment irregular forces on the
plain, had intended to main-
tain control of the plain
through the 1071-72 dry season
to relieve pressure on Long
Cheng.
CIA-supported Meo and Thai'
irregular forces abandoned
the government's remaining
fire support bases on the west-
ern edge of the plain yester-
day retreating under intense
enemy artillery fire off the
plain itself.
The 30-square-mile Plain of
Jars is about 100 miles north
of Vientiane. This is the
fourth time it has changed
hands in the last 21,i years,

and relinquishing it in the dry
season to the Communists.
Two firebases covering the
plain, Sting Ray to the west
and Cobra to the south, are re-
ported to be under heavy artil-
lery attack with little chance
they can be held, sources say.
Laotian Defense Minster
Sisouk Charnpassak put Com-
munist losses during the first
two days of fighting at 1,500
dead out of a reported 13,000
attacking. He said the govern-
ment had from 6,000 to 7,000
troops on the plain during the
attack. Government losses
were described as heavy.
Though Communist infan-
trymen "paid the price of tak-
ing the plain," they apparently
consider the prize worth the
'price, U.S. sources said.
The prize itself may only be
the psychological effect on
government and progovern-
ment troops of suffering a
major setback early and
quickly, or this year it may be
control of all the mountain re-
gion, sources here believe, in-
eluding Long Cheng itself,
leaving the governrnent no-
toehold to mount an offen-
sive during the next wet sea-
son.
Air cover for retreating
troops and remaining posi-
tions in the west is minimal
because of weather. Sources
say bombing is impossible on
the eastern half of the plain as
Communist trucks ferry men
and equipment southward
under an umbrella of intense
antiaircraft fire described as
the heaviest ever in northern
Laos.
Yesterday Defense Minister
Sisouk reported the loss of
two Laotian bombers to
enemy ground fire, including
the loss of their pilots. Sisouk
also noted the presence of
North Vietnamese Mig fight-
ers slightly north and north-
east of the plain, a presence
U.S. sources here confirm and
say appears part of the Com-
munist strategy of keeping
U.S. air support minimal.
About 20 U.S.-supplied how-
itzers are believed to have
been lost to enemy action on
the plain with only the howitz-
ers at Cobra and Sting Ray
now remaining in action. Thai
gunners are reported to have
spiked their weapons with
phosphorous grenades to make
them inoperable when aban-

During a press conference
Wednesday to announce the
rally, its sponsors played a
tape of a phone conversation
with ex-Beatle Lennon and
Yoko Ono.
"We w o n 't be bringin a
band," Lennon said, "I'm only
here as a tourist, but I'll prob-
ably fetch me guitar, and I
) know we have a song we wrote
for John (Sinclair) and that's
that."
LENNON RECENTLY pub-
lished, but has not as yet re-
corded a song about Sinclair
in which he calls out, "Gotta,
gotta set him free ...
"It ain't fair, John Sinclair
in the stir for breathing air,"
the song starts and then
proceeds:
"If he'd been a soldier man
Shooting gooks in Vietnam
If he'd was a flying man
Dropping dope in old Siam
He'd be free, they'd let him
be
Breathing air like you and
me."
Lennon is expected to sing
the song at the rally Friday.
"We're really thinking in
terms of John Sinclair," Yoko
Ono said in her taped phone
conversation, . "a n d our
friends, our brothers and sis-
ters who are in pain, and we
really feel the pain with
them."
The rally will be broadcast
live in Detroit on FM radio
station WABX.

EARLY three million Americans
have now served in Vietnam. Of
these, about 600 have been Foreign
Service officers.
Thus, roughly .20 percent of the
Foreign Service has been exposed to
many of the stimuli which have
turned "nice" kids from Middle
America into peace freaks, hawks,
junkies, and even assassins.
For the FSOs, however, the ex-
perience generally has not had the
radicalizing effect that it has had on
many of the military men. The
FSOs tended to be older and less
malleable than the American sol-
diers in Vietnam, and their personal
thought processes were more subtle
and less striking than those of the
GIs. Some FSOs were essentially
untouched by the whole experience,
reacting no differently than if they
had been in Paris or Rome. But for
most, and especially the young, Viet-
nam meant change. It meant a
violent breaking away from the tra-
ditional diplomatic life and an ex-
posure to the realities of war.

signed to the Pacification program

Nevertheless, FSOs have been

Many served in proto-combat

While not participants, they re-

crimes he investigated in Vietnam.
As far as he knows, no action has
ever been taken to punish the
guilty. Because he is a supporter of
the President's Vietnam policy, and
because he fears the effect on that
policy of additional war crime con-
troversy, he has not chosen to make
his information public. He also is
undoubtedly aware of the negative
result disclosure would have on his
career prospects.
His example is extreme, but it
points up the fundamental proposi-

like serving elsewhere.

percent of the FSOs had experi-

The Mall From Ann Arbol....
There is a laugh-provoking scene in the movie "Taking
Off" in which a club of white middle-class parents Of run-
away children take a lesson in pot smoking to help them
"relate" to their children.' . .
? The question arises, though the lesson is in a good 'cause, about
the 'penalty for such a mass smoke-in if there was an arrest. Their
young teacher raises his eyebrows and replies, " A man in Michigan
was sentenced to prison for 10 years for having two joints."
No joke, the man is John Sinclair and getting him released has
become a major cause for his wife, friends and others who believe
his .sentence in 1969 represents a prime example of unjust laws.
His wife, Leni, has been commuting between New York and 'her
home in Ann Arbor, -Mich., working with some prominent but still
unrevealed names to organize a.benefit concert for her husband in
December. An appeal to reverse his conviction is currently Ptaf.ore
the Michigan Supreme Court.
While Sinclair may not have the pop prominence of Berry Gordy,
he Carries his own special clout in the field of Detroit music. Through
his - organization and management, the hard-driving rock quintet.
called MC-5 came to national prominence. In a new Look, "Music
and Politics," Sinclair speaks of the MC-5 and lggy and the Stooges,
another group whose music has the subtlety of an auto shassis
stamping machine, as examples'. of "high energy level music," the
important function of which is to "reflect and shape the purest and
highest stages of people's consciousness, i.e., revolutionary conscious-

.Pre-Sinclair_people say he has clone nothing except smoke grass
and irritate the establishment through his life style.-
The. situation brings to mind other notable examples of pot
users who were caught. Stripper, Candy Barr got 15 years in Texas
in 1.958 for possession of one joint and a quantity of loose grass
stashed in her bra. She was released after three years.--Gene Krupa
reri.cd three months in 1643 for sending his teenage valet to pick
'DP:ft pack of reefers from his hotel room. Krupa still is 1-)P4ing
his 'dues by lecturing high school students on the dangers of drugs.
In perspective, such -furor over smoking pot seems extravagant,
but Robert Apablaza just beat a 50-year sentence for holding a
matchbox full of marijuana by escaping from the .Louisiana jail
where he was held and fleeing to New York. The governor of New
York persuaded the governor of Louisiana to drop extradition pro-

The strain of Leni's efforts to :get her husband released shows
in her face and .voice but she doesn't show: vindictiveness; 'even
when telling how her husband was arrested by the tame under-
cover agent who had an-ested him in 1960. "De used the name

ity .to oversee all the intelligence agencies (the National capers, of a kind that could have been made known only
SecuritY Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency, etc.). by the agency that is so super-secret it feels compelled to
and to Cut "bureaucratic fat" and professional overlapping conceal its activities from the Congress:
wherever possible. There may be merit in this new or,
but there is incontdtable merit in Sen. Stuart Symington's
reaction to it. The Senator notes that the CIA was
.brought into existence in 1947 by an act of Congress. Its
nowers.and duties are defined by legislation adopted by
the Congress. The director and deputy direcZot are sub-
ject to confirmation by the Senate. Last year the Congress
appropriated between $5 billion and $6 billion -for the
intelligence establishment; no one knows the exact
amount, since, part of the CIA's budget is artfully con-
cealed. Yet the Senate was not consulted about the pro-
posed. reorganization. Senator Symington serves on the
,CIA subcommittee of the Senate Armed Services Com-
mittee. To his knowledge, the subcommittee was not,
.cOnsulted about, nor did it approve, the reorganization
ordered by the President. As a matter of fact the sub-
coMmittee has nOt met once during.the current year. This
is an amazing state of affairs. Surely the Congress has a
right tO be consulted about the reorganization of an agency
which owes its existence to an Act . of Congress and is
sustained by annual appropriations voted by the Congress.
The fact is that the-CIA enjoys an autonomy almost as
complete as that enjoyed by the FBI. Whatever the orig-
inal intention of the Congress, the. CIA functions today as
. an adjunct of the White House. The intelligence it gathers
is available to the President; it is not available to the Con-
gress. Under the proposed reorganization, it will be even
more directly respOnsible to the President, and by its over-
sight control over the other. agencies will be- supplying him
with a unified appraisal. An agency that gathers informa-
tion for the President may be tempted to provide him with
the estimates it thinks he wants (as the Pentagon Papers
,have shown, intelligence reports that do not coincide with
White House opinion are apt to be ignOred), and as Joseph
Kraft pointed out in a recent column, there is much to
be said for diverging, even conflicting, _reports in the
highly subjective area of intelligence evaluation.
The CIA is closed off from scrutiny by the press, public
and the Congress; like the FBI, it functions in splendid
bureaucratic isolation. Mr. Helms is .such a gray eminence
that a private elevator takes him to and from his office in
the .CIA structure in Langley, Va. Like Mr. Hoover, he..
is usually not "available," except at budget time. Re-
cently, however, he has been trying to give the agency a
new, or at least a brighter image, since he is well aware
of a growing restiveness in the ,Congress and of the need
to slash budgets. ,A Nation. editorial of May 3 called at-
tention to the way in which Mr. Helms was "breaking
covet" to- talk about the brilliant achievements 'of the.
Congress should not take any more of this guff from
the agency or its director. It has authority to insist that
its authority be respected and it has a clear responsibility
to act in that spirit. In an editorial last August 2, we re-
marked on a measure, introduced by Sen. John Sherman
Cooper, which would recuire the CIA to make its intel-
ligence reports available to the chairman of the germane
committees of the .Congress (Armed Services and For-
eign Relations) and also require the agency to 'prepare
reports at the request of the Congress. There is precedent
for suCh legislation in the instructions given the AEC.
After all, the CIA often gives to foreign governments
information-and reports 'which it will not make available
to the Senate or. the House. This is selective secrecy
carried to a grotesque extreme.
Hearings will be held on Senator Cooper's bill- (S. 2224)
during the first week of February. It is a wise and sensible
proposal. We hope it is adopted. We hope. too that the
CIA subcommittee will come alive and begin to exercise,
a real degree of oversight over thc agency. Better still,
the Senate should adopt the resolution offered by Sena-
tor Symington (S. 192, November 13) to create a. select
committee which would oversee the -CIA. But there is
really only one way to deal with the problem of the CIA
and that is to make it direaly responsible to the Congress.
If it is engaged in activities of such a character that they
cannot be reported to the Congress, then it should be
told to abandon those activities. There is no place for a
secret agency of the CIA type within the framework of a
constitutional democracy, which is how Justice Stanley
Reed once characterized our form of government. As
long as the CIA can plead, secrecy,' Congress will be un.-
able to exercise effective oversight. The time has come,
to make both the FBI and the CIA subject to close and
continuing Congressional supervision and control.

OPERATION GINO
NEWSCASTER; Speaking of curtains, syndicated columnist Jack Anderson
reports how the CIA's security curtain was breached by a group of little boys.
JACK ANDERSON; The legendary security_of the Central Intelligence
Agency has been penetrated by a secret spy mission called Operation Gino.
Here is the hush-hush story. The CIA enclave is enclosed by cyclone
fencing and protected by electronic detection devices. Guards swarm all over
the place. The only way tp get inside is through the main gate which is care-
fully watched by the security men. But four schoolboys, led by li-year old
Stewart Andrews of McLean, Virginia found a series of manholes in an old
federal road testing facility near the CIA. They got the covers off and ex-
plored the underground tunnels. Their subterranean travels took them past the
great security wall and up into secret CIA territory.
They went back day after day, telling their parents mysteriously,
they were engaged in Operation Gino.
But the manhole covers were overgrown with greenery and the boys
soon broke out in a familiar rash. The rash led to more probing questions from
their parents. Thus was Operation Gino foiled by a case of poison ivy.
The 'CIA deals in operations so secret that its waste paper is
classified. Yet it receives more publicity than government agencies that ad-
vertise. So, understandably, the CIA isn't saying anything about the school-
boys who infiltrated their headquarters.
But maybe the CIA security wasn't so bad after all. Perhaps the
poison ivy was a CIA plant.
This is Jack Anderson in Washington.

" Behind the scenes Presidant Nixon's confidence

M. Helms has .taken a new leap forward. Mr. Nix-
On believes (correctly) that our nation's in-
telligence setup is a sick elephant. He has quietly
assigned Mr. Helms to correct its

secrecy keeps our public from knowing even the
.size - of this elephant, to say nothing of how sick
:it is? . .
. , . .

Inceedibly, we spend close to $6 billion a year.
for intelligence. Just the CIA alone is larger in
scope than the State Department and spends more
vthan twice as much money. Legendary Gen.
William J. ("Wild. Bill") Donovan's Office of
Strategic Services conducted obi* entire World
War II espionage throughout four years and
throughout the world for, a total $135 million. The
budget of the CIA (secret) is at least .$1.5 billion
a year.
NEXT TO THE PENTAGON. with its 25 miles
of corridors, the world's largest office building,
the CIA's headquarters in suburban Langley, Va., ?
" is the largest building in the Washington area. The
CIA has jurisdiction only abrLd, not in the United ?
/ States. But the CIA maintains secret offices in
/
most major U.S. cities, totally unknown to the
public. .
?
About 10,000. .people work at Langley and
another 5,000 are scattered across the world, bur-
rowing everywhere for intelligence. These include
many, many unsung heroes who secretly risk their
lives for our country in the dark and unknown
, battles of espionage and treachery. I could name
many. And as a p'art of its veil of secrecy the CIA
has its .own clandestine communications system
with Washington and the world.. ?
?? The -Pentagon spends $3 billion a year on in-
telligence, twice as much as the CIA. Like the
CIA, its Army, Navy, and Air Force intelligence
; arms . operate worldwide, of course, ? and --
"largely unknown ? they also have an immense
adjunct called the National Security Agency which
I rivals the. CIA in size and cost.
' ? Then there -exists the 'important Intelligence'
Section of the State Department, likewise world-
wide. Its chid reports directly to Under Secretary
of State John N. Irwin 2nd it is tuiderstandably
very close to its vest.
ADDITIONAL Intelligence agencies ? all;
growing, all sprawling, all costly " spread out hi--
to the world from the Office of the Secretary of
Defense, the Atomic Energy Commission, National
Aeronautics es Space .Administration (NASA) , and
even the Department of Commerce.
In fact, there are so many additional hush-hush
agencies that recently in West and East Berlin
alone there Were at least 40 known U.S. in-
telligEnce agencies and their branches ? most of
them competing with one another. -
Mr. Helms himself defines intelligence as "all
the things which should be known in- advance or
initiating a course of action." The acquisition of
intelligence is one thing; the interpretation of it is
another; and the use of it is a third. The 19171
statute creating the CIA limits it to the first two. It
also makes the CIA directly responsible to the
President. But it is simply not true that the OA
is the .over-all responsible agency, as is so widelY
believed. ? " ?
Again and again, no one and everyone is
responsible,
. .
" THE FUNCTION of intelligence is to protect us
from surprises. It's not working that way. The sick
elephant is -threatening our national security by'
surPrise, Surprise, surprise.
?
- Alarmed President Nixon has given Mr. Helms .
new ? and sweeping intelligence reorganization
authority on an over-all"basis. He has given him
the first authority ever given anyone to ra.aiew,'",
and thus effect, all our foreign intelligence'
agencies' budgets. The President believes Mr.
Helms, this undercover world's most experienced
pro, can cut at least SI. billion out of the morass:
:'The President confided that he is totally fed tiP':
With the intelligence community's duplications.; ?
contradictions, self-protective vagueness and
dangerous rivalries. He has made it clear that he -
'wants its output brount closer to the. needs of thd.
President's so-called 40 Committee (actually six,.
men), which serves the National Security Council,
and the President hiinself. ? . . ,
In .amputating much of the sick elephant, Mr;
Helms' directive is to cut down on the surprises.
And the President could not have picked a more .
knowing, no-nonsense man to do it.

7?An "FBI Conference"
opened here today with the 55
participants painting a grim
picture of a, police state disre-
garding constitutional liber-
ties and repressing political
dissent by use of informers,
wiretaps, electronic surveil-
lance and agents provocateurs,
The FBI, charging . it was
cast as the "defendant" and
,found guilty before the fact,
has declined to participate.
-. Legal scholars,' political sci-
entists, journalists and former
justice Department personnel,
-FBI agents and informants
spoke of increasingly uncon-
trolled power of the FBI, espe-
cially in its attempts to moni-
tor. groups which seek social;
. economic 'and political change.
: While most of the partici-
Opals did not question the
FBI's ability to combat certain
types of crime, many ex-
pressed their dissatisfaction
with the bureau's efforts to
fight organized crime, protect
civil rights workers, infiltrate
protest groups and promote
the .FBI's image as a vigilant
and incorruptable investiga-
tive agency,
- William Turner, a former
IFBI agent asked to resign in
3951, charged that be knew of
several instances in which FBI
'agents had forged checks, sto-
len property, been involved in
drunken driving accidents and
otherwise acted outside the
law. Turner said that none of
these agents was charged be-
cause it it sureau policy to
persuade local law enforce-
ment officials to drop charges.
Turner said that the MU
'?,..,,as been so unsuccessful. in its
ttempts to- uncover foreign.

f;spionage agents working in
the United States that the CIA.
Illias been forced to set up its
own bureaus around the cowl-
try.
... Vrof, Thomas J. .Emerson of

the FBI regularly violates the
First and Fourth amendments

of the constitution. Emerson' ended, or only that concerned
said that wiretaps, bugging
and the use of informers tend
to lirnit freedom of speech and
violate the Fourth Amend-
ment's protection from illegal
searches and seizures.
Emerson said that the FM's
"political warfare against dis-
sident groups raises the
spectre of a police state." The
Yale law professor said the
only remedy for current FBI
practice is the creation of a
public board of overseers and
an ombudsman, to protect the
public from arbitrary FBI
practices, such as the inclu-
sion of persons' names in
practices, suchn s the inclu-
sion of persons' names nip.

Prof. Frank Donner, also of
Yale law school, said political.
with political, dissent, There
was a strong- feeling, ox-
pressed by John Boar, for-
mer assistant attorney general
for civil rights awing the
Kennedy admiii)istrrltion, that
the use of informants was
necessary in protecting civil,
rights workers and combatting.
organized crime. ?
The use of wiretaps and elec..'
tronic surveillance was the sub-
ject of an other paper, pre.:
pared by Victor N;-ivalky, au-
thor of . "Kennedy justice,"
and Nathan Lewin, f' -Washing- '
ton attorney.
Navashy charged that there
has been "a hiStory of deceit,
ambivalence and confusion
v,,ithin the government con-
cerning bugs and taps." he
said the. use of "suicide
taps," illegal- wiretaps by FBI
informers used by the FBI are agents to obtain informattion
"intended as a restraint on
free expression, as a curb on
movements far change,"
"It can hardly be denied
that the self censorship which
it (surveillance by informers)
stimulates is far more damag-
ing than many c.xppressed sta-
tutory or administrative re-
straints."
Former FBI agent robert
Wall supported. Donner's
charges. Wall said be resigned
from the Washington bureau
hi 1970 because he became, dis-
gusted by the FBI's surveil-
lance activities.. "Anyone who
would say something against
the Vietnam war had to be
watched and watched closely:.
The chilling effect was very
real," he said.
Donner concluded that
"thoughful Arnerleans must
begin to ask themselves
whether 'national security'
really requires that .we cor-
rupt and bribe our youths,
blacks, professors, students
and others_ to betray friends
and associates; whether there
is no other way to defend
ourselves. . . than to institu-
tionalize the surveillance of
non-violent protest activity."
The participants in the con-
ference questioned whether
all surveillance should be
without authorization from ei-
ther the courts. or FBI Direc-
tor j. Edgar Hoover, was wide
spread..
The FBI Conference, Spon-
sored by. Princeton's Woodrow

- A Six-member jury in U.S.
District Court here yesterday
awarded the Airlie Foundation
and its executive director, Dr.
Murdock Head, $510,800 in
libel damages against The
Evening Star.
? The jury, 'which deliberated
early yesterday afternoon,
? awarded .$100,000 in damages
to Dr. Head and 8419,000 to
the foundation, which oper-
ates a large conference center
called Airlie House in Warren-
ton, Va.
The case involved The Star's
;news coverage in September,
11967, of a news conference in
which it was alleged that the
foundation was secretly sup-
ported by the Central Intelli'-
gence Agency or other govern-
Ment agencies.
A few days later, The Star
,ran a ."Statement on Airlie"
that said, in part, "The editors
of The Star ,having examined
the records of the Airlie Foun-
dation, are persuaded that this
institution is privately fi-?
nanccd." .
The judgement was one of
the, largest libel verdicts ren-
dered by a jury in recent
Years, according to Washing-
ton lawyers. .

The Airlie Foundation and its

yesterday won $519,800 in libel
;damages against .The Wash-

The verdict by a six-member
U.S. -District Court jury hero
called for an award of com-
pensatory damages of $160,000
for Head and $419,800 for the
foundation which runs a con-
ference center in Warrenton,
Va. No punitive damages were
awarded.
U.S. District Court judge Oliv-

six-day trial which ended Tues-
day, gave The Star 10 days to
file motions asking him to over-
turn the jury verdict, a standard
procedure in civil cases.
Conference Center
Mi-lie House, which is operat-

1,200-acre conference center lo-
cated just east of Warrenton in

Sept. 14, 1967, story in The Star
reporting a charge by William
Higgs that Airlie House was se-
cretly supported by the Central
Intelligence Agency, the State
Department and the Pentagon.
It Was ;testified that Higgs, a
lawyer disbarred in Mississippi
who has been a civil rights ac-
tivist ?and a supporter of radical
causes, made the charge at a
press conference at which he is-
sued a 1.6-page statement which
he said supported the charge of
covert ties between Mille House
and the governmental agencies.

Following the appearance of
these stories, Airlie ? representa-

ords to The Star to support their
contention that the Higgs charge
was without foundation. And on
Sept. 18 and 19, The Star
published a story reportinc,b that
a study .of Airlie's books indicat-
ed, that the institution was sup-
ported solely by private sources.
That story was accompa-
nied by a statement that the
editors of The. Star were per-
suaded by the records that the
foundation was privately fi-
nanced and that "the foundation
has demonstrated conclusively
to them (the editors) that it is
not, as charged last week, se-
cretly supported by the Central

government agencies."

editors failed to show proper re-

true or false and, in fact, printed

MONTE CART,O, Monaco ? The
Spindrift Of the cold war is the human
,spray blown .hither and thither by
ideological gusts. This is typified by
-dissidents who flee Communist lands
in seal-eh of freedom, by draft dodgers
seeking to escape the U.S. armed
forges abroad, by American black rev-
olutionists in foreign havens and by
defectors from rival diplomatic or
espionage cStablishments who for dif-
?ferent reasons abandon their native
;lands.
? One of the most puzzling of these
instances is that of Jozel Szall, Hun-
gary's senior career ambassador and
most recently special adviser to his
Foreign Minister. Szall fled Budapest
last ,year, spent a considerable time
ander interrogation by Italian secu-
rity representatives in Rome, where he
had long been envoy, and early this
year was flown to the United States
by the Central Intelligence Agency
whose voluntary guest he remained
for weeks.
Szall, his wife and 12-year-old boy
benefited from the hospitality of ? a
C.I.A. safe house near Washington
during which time the family acknowl-
edges it was amiably treated. They
visited Washington theaters and mu-
seums but were isolated from direct
contact with friends or non-C.I.A. of-
ficials.
, - However, although the C.I.A. offered
to facilitate the Szalls' permanent ad-
mission, the ambassador remained un-
certain that hp wanted to ? make the

this group of tiny islands has, in the last 100 years, been
occiipied by a succession of colonial powers Spain, Ger-
many .and later Japan; after World War 11 another ex-
panding empire, the United States, stepped into the void
left by the defeated Japanese. All but oblivious. to the
existence of Micronesia, many Americans will recognize

Micronesia became an American "protectorate" in
1947, under a unique arrangement of the United Nations
Trusteeship Council which invested the United States with
full responsibility for the islands' economic, social and
political development, full -authority over their internal
affairs, and permission to build military installations, con-
duct nuclear explosions, and generally use them as a
buffer ?against powers in the Far East which long ago
ceased to be hostile. Technically, the arrangement was ?
provisional, it 'being assumed that eventually the Micro-
nesians would be "ready for self-government." Their
murky political statys. as a U.S. -"trust"' was upde.ilined.
when Washington, anxious to avoid a colonial blemish,'
handed the job of administering the territory over to the
Department of the Interior?which, for its part, followed
a policy of "benign neglect" reminiscent of the behavior
of its Bureau of Indian Affairs. Before 1964, the trustee-
ship proceeded on. a shoestring budget that never exceeded
.$77 million, half of which went to pay the salaries of
Interior Department personnel. The Defense Department's
Micronesia budget for nuclear tests alone exceeded the
combined State Department and Interior DepartMent
budgets by more than $1 million; not surprisingly, the
DOD wound up making most of the important administra-
tive decisions?includinq the forced evacuation of resi-

laminated most of their food supply. "Social and economic
development" iemained almost moribund as the territorial
administration, fearful ,of "outside. influences" that might
undermine U.Si.control, enforced a near-total quarantine
on foreign trade. At least one Micronesian died and many
others were .disabled by live bombs which the United
States never bothered to remove after World War II.
By 1964 this blatant mismanagement succeedied ? in
provoking a Trusteeship Council investigation, the up-
shot of which was a resolve by the investigators to come
back again in three years to determine what changes, if
'an)', had been made. The prospect that the United States
might be stripped of its trusteeship if conditions On the
islands did not significantly improve could not be taken
lightly, particularly because of secondary effects stemming
from recent escalation of the war in Vietnam. The
Japanese leftists had responded to that development by
stepping up their attacks ? on the Japanese-American
Mutual Security Pact, which in 1960 had been extended
for ten years. Fearing that the pact might not survive
beyond 1970, United States policy makers were even
more apprehensive lest sizable U.S. investments inside
Japan be threatened. by rising political instability there.
To appease the Japanese, Washington began giving serious
consideration to the idea of abandoning its base on
Okinawa, itself the scene of growing anti-American dem-
onstrations. What was needed was a site of comparable
strategic value to which .the Okinawa operation could be
transferred. Thailand and South Korea' were too close
to enemy territory; the political situation in the Philippines
was already too volatile Micronesia was another story.
Not only was it out of reach of Chinese and Soviet. medi-
um-range missiles; but if the United States could maintain
the kind of control over the islands' internal affairs that it
had Once enjoyed, the political results of operating a mili-
tary outpost there ? could be held to a. minimum.
-The impending U.N. investigation posed an immediate
and irritating stumbling block to these designs. President
Johnson and. his advisers were well aware of the need
to engage in some housecleaning in Micronesia before
the investigators arrived; at the same time, they knew that
if the Micronesian people could be prevailed upon to .
enter into a voluntary association with the United States,
all U.N. authority in the matter would end. In 1966,
without waiting for the customary invitation from the host
nation,' Mr. Johnson dispatched a contingent of Peace
Corps volunteers to .the islands, hoping simultaneously
to mollify the U.N. and to persuade the natives that a
permanent "free association" with the United States really
was in their best interests. Most of the volunteers promptly
busied themselves with land management, teaching
(usually English or American history) and "community
development." ? r. ? .

. OUTSIDE London's Marlborough
Street magistrates' court one morn-
ing last week, a throng of newsmen wait-
eel impatiently. The object of their in-
terest, an ostensibly minor Soviet trade
official named Oleg Lyalin, 34, failed
to show up to answer the charges against
him--"driving . while unfit through..
drink." He was resting instead in ,a Com-
fortable country house near London:.
where, for the past several weeks, he..
had been giving British intelligence a

weeks ago. to carry out the most 'dras-
tic action ever undertaken in the West
against Soviet spies: the expulsion of
105 diplomats and other officials?near-
ly 20% of the 550 Russian officials
based in Britain.
The case generated waves from Mos-
cow to Manhattan. As soon as Soviet
Party Leader Leonid Brezhnev returned
to the Soviet, capital from his three-
day visit. to Yugoslavia, he took the ex-
traordinary step of convening an emer-
gency meeting of the 15-man Politburo
right on the premises of Vniikovo Air-
port. The, high-level conference, vLich

Is the CIA .taring to spy on Americans at home?turning talents and mo.
against students, blacks, others? That is one of several key questions raised in
a wide ranging criticism. A direct response starts on page 81.
STATINTL
? The following was Nvritten by Edward K. DeLong of
United Preis .International, hosed on an interview with
a Centro! Intelligence Agency official who has re-
signed. The dispatch was distributed by UPI for pub-
lication oh October 3. ' ?
Victor Marchetti embarked 16 years ago on a career that
was all any aspiring young spy could ask. But two years ago,
after reaching the highest levels of the Central Intelligence
Agency, he became. disenchanted with what he perceived to .
be amorality, overwhelming military influence, waste and
duplicity in the spy business. IIe quit. ?
-- Fearing today that the CIA may already have begun "go-
ing against the enemy within" the United States as they
may conceive it?that is, dissident student groups and civil-
rights organizations?Marchetti has launched a campaign for
thore.- presidential and congressional control over the entire
U. S. intelligence community. ?
-"I think we need to do this because we're getting into
an awfully dangerous era when we have all this talent
(for clandestine operations) in the CIA?and more being de-
veloped in the military, which is getting into clandestine
"ops" (operations)?and there just aren't that many places
any more to display that talent," Marchetti says.
"The cold war is fading. So is the war in Southeast Asia,
. except for Laos. At the sanie time, we're getting a lot of
domestic problems. And there are people in the CIA who?
,'if they .aren't right now actually already running domestic
operations against student groups, black movements and the
like?are certainly considering it.
"This is going to *get to be ? very.. tempting," Marchetti
said in a recent. interview at his comfortable riorne in Oak-
' - ton, [Val, a 'Washington suburb where many CIA men live. -
"There'll be a great temptation for these people- to sug-
gest operations. and for a President to approve them or to
kind of look the other way. You have the danger of intelli-
gence turning against the nation itself, going against the 'the
enemy within.'
Marertetti speaks of the CIA from an insi'cler's point of
-View. At Pennsylvania State University he deliberately pre-
pared himself fkrenan intelliLT4co Caj:cerg _gladUakoli t ab

_ _ . . .
Through a professor secretly on the CIA payroll as a_ talent
?seout, Marchetti netted the prize all would-be spies dream
of-1-an immediate job offer from the CIA. The offer came
during a secret meeting in a hotel room, set up by a stranger
who telephoned and identified himself only as "a friend of
your brother." ?
Marchetti spent one year as a CIA agent in the field and
10 more as an analyst of intelligence relating 'to the Soviet
Union, rising through the ranks until he was helping pre-
pare the national intelligence estimates for the White House.
During this period, Mar-
chetti says, "I was a hawk.
I believed in what we
were doing."
Then he was promoted

and as executive assistant

director, V. Adm. Rufus

"This put me in a very
rare position within the Agency and within the intelligence
community in general, in that I was in a place where it was
being all pulled together," Marchetti said.
"I could see how intelligence analysis was done and how it ?
fitted into the scheme of clandestine operations. It also gave
me an opportunity to. get a good view of the intelligence
community, too: the National Security Agency, the DIA.

munity and the outside, This change of perspective during

- If you wonder 'what has happened to cur chi-
seas' privacy, listen to a summary I have just
conipleted. Incredible? One would have thought
so. Impossible? One. would have hoped so. Un-
fortunately, it is. the squalid truth. Here are the
ugly facts: ?
More than 2,600 computers are now \ varking
away ? clank, clank, clank -- in, Wa.F.?,11:ngion..
They have a -full-time potential of supplyiug a
stack of records 2,000 miles high 'every year.
About 2:50,000 -- yes, 220,000 government em-
ployes are chiefly involved with filing the paper
into cabinets. These cabinets cover 25 million
cubic. feet of . floor space. That's more than 11
times the entire rentable floor space In the vast
102-story Empir?f State Building; -- only for the
filing cabinets. The exectitive branch alone has
two million. ?
. Yet the government is now installing addi-
tional data-processing eon-Tutus at the astound-
ing rate of 000 .a year --- \:.51.11 an emphasis on
piling up information about our citizens.
"PRIVACY," SAID late, great Prof. Clinton.
Rossiter, "is an ? unbreakable wall . of dignity
against the entire world.". But start with your la-
conic tax declaration ? probably the most pri-
vate, intimately revealing thing demanded of citi-
zens. Nearly SO million of us taxpaying peasants
filed these with the Internal Revenue Service this
year. The declarations started out to he inviolate.
Today, largely unknown to the SO million, that
essential privacy is a mere charade.
Ifwenty4lirce federal agencies now have direct
access to our citizens' income tax returns for an
official total of 100 reasons.
Do not hold the IRS responsible for this. It
has -fought. intrusions tooth and nail. But outside
agencies have contrived their intrusions to the
IRS's utter dismay. . - ? -
? NYITH THE 109 lIEASONS available to the 23.
agencies, what an outrageous opening for scat-
tered bureaucratic insiders. And what an oppor-
tunity for crooks, pressure boys, spite artists in
?%01.11: neighborhood, political oppeuents of men in
public life; business rivals and. other.s who can
quietly get your declaration by cozy relationships,
bribery and other means ? .
The last Census, which N still In the -data.;

? population, as the Constitution demands. It was,
instead, a systematic penetration of -our privacy,

undoubtedly useful but expanded nevertheless in
accord with the over-all invasion ? this worm in
the American apple.
The Civil Service Commission,, on Inquiry, re-
plies that, yes, it now does compile "lead in-
formation relating to possible que,stions" that
might come up about countless pecple. So does
the Post Office Department. So does the Depart- .
ment of the Interior. Ridiculously, even the ole.
pi:anti:lc Interstate Commerce Commission,. to
our country's shame, gets into this intrusion on
such a scale that maybe the ICC should give .up
its true ? finiCtion entirely and just go into the
business of building libraries for
THE .P.ENI?AGON ADMITS it has dossiers'on
20. million Americans outside the armed forces.
Its data bank also keeps files on 7,060 organiza-
tions, II you can conceli,o of that many.. In fact,
the Pentagon admits that it processes an average
1,200 requests a day for undisclosed information.
The Justice Department lists 13,200 names.. of
persons known to have. urged violence. And there
are, of course, the vital files of its investigath?e
.agency, the FBI.
The Secret Service has compiled on its own
a colossal file of what it tells me are "person's
of interest." These include those whose only bid
for Secret Service attention is their criticism of
government policies.
TILE Central Intelligence Agency's personal In-
formation files are top secret ? and tremendous.
The CIA has jurisdiction only abroad, not in the
United States. Neverthele.ss, the CIA maintains
secret offices in a score Of U. S. Cities totally
unknown to our public. ?
Big Brother's intrusion into our American fife
is not new, nor is its incredible undercover, un're-
vealed .expansion schemed and planned in the
sense of a sinister design. Actually, it's a drift,
like a spreading cancer is a ,drift. And, behiqc1
the scenes today's electronic technological ad-
vances arc spreading the drift on a scale that
should frighten our public out of its boots.
'These advances allow Big Brother to acquire;
store and use tremendous files of information
Big Brother collects on us with a correlation, and
? speed.which completely changes the potential for
the invasion of privacy. And how Bag can this
hidden pilcstitution of our intended government
continue without wrecking every democratic coa-
cept in one democratic system?

_On this .basis it is along-standing principle of our courts

Important exclusionary principle: to search by wire tap,
'the U.S. Supreme Court also held in. 1969 (Alderman
v, lAited States) that, the govanment .must disclose to
a defendant any record of conversations he participated
in, or which occurred on his pr-emises, which the govern-
merit 'acquired by means of any illegal electronic surveil-
lance. (The practical importance of this ruling appears.
In the current Plamondon case, cited below.)
?
-ETA when electronic surveillance legal and when
Th Omnibus Criro.e Control and Safe'Streeis Act
-43f 194. far less restrictive in this regard than it ought
to be, does lay down strict conditions within which elec-
(ronic. surveillance may be carried out. Probable cause to
believe that criminal activity is in progress must be sworn
to before surveillance is undertaken, and a duly constituted
court or magiStrate must .authori-ae specific. surveillance
and issue ? a warrant therefor. Unauthorized electronic
surveillance .by government officials is a serious crime.
But the ? Act also provides, unhappily, for exceptions to
itS own restrictions. By its own -words the Act does not
limit the constitutional power of the President to take
such measures as, he deems necessary to protect the
Nation against actual or potential attack or other' hostile
acts of a foreign power, or to obtain foreign intelligence
information deemed essential to the security of the,
STATI NTL
United States, or to protect national security informa-
tion against foreign intelligence activities. Nor shall .
anything contained in this chapter be deemed to limit the
constitutional power of the President to take such meas-
ures as he *deems necessary to Protect the United States
against the overthrow Of the Government by force or
other unlawful me'ans, or against any 'other clear and
present danger to the strUCture or existence of the
. Government... .. ? ?
. Through this hole in' thcfl(dike the Attorney General
of the United States and his subordinates have surged,
and the' federal courts now face the difficult, problem of
restraining the zeal of law enforcers eager to tap the wires
of anyone who might, by their lights, be. deemed a threat.
to "national security." The threat, more deeply under-
stood, is from the government--and the privacy of citizens
is Its victim.
?
The tub lies here. Who decides what is necessary
for ."national. security"? The. President, acting through
the Attorney General, is authorized to conduct electronic
surveillance without judicial Warrant to pfotect the nation
against the hostile acts cif foreign powers. That is itself
worrisome: But is the exception to be enlarged? Is wire
tapping to be permitted, and itS results received by the
courts, in matter of alleged internal seculity? . ?
'The issue is not only. theoretical. A case now before
the U.S. District Court, Eastern 'District of.
presents thice' practical piohlem starkly. The defendants are
charged' with conspiring to injure -government 'property,-
arid one of theme Lawrence "Pun".Plamondon, is charged
with the actual bombing of a CIA office building in Ann.
Arbor. The trial is about to begin. Electronic surveillance
of Mr. Plamondon's- conversalion, has, been conducted.
by the government, undertaken '''Ornittedly without the'
judicial authorization that the law requires. The sealed
logs of these wire taps have been delivered to the court,
and with them an affidavit froM the Attorney General.
This affidavit 'does not assert that'-at' the time these wire
-taps were installed, law-enforcement ,tgepts had' probable
cause to believe- that criminal activity was actually being
.plotted. If such probable cause could haVe 'been shown
?that, for example, the illegal overthrow of the govern-'
ment by violence. was being planned?a .proper warrant

badly, that the Attorney General, as agent of the Presi-
dent,.May by himself -authorize electrOnic surveillance of;
"attempts of domestic organizations to attack and subvert

concludes, 'wire tapping in this case, although without
judicial warrant or control, is. yet legal. ? ?

.Remember 'Mr. Philbrick? His multifaceted
existence in the 1940s?"Citizen,? Communist,
Counterspy"?was the basis of an autobiogra-
phical book, Led Three Lives." in the early
1050s, these reminiscences were ifiade into a
wildly popular- television series, wherein Mr.
Philbrick (as portrayed by actor Richard Carl-
son) spent the better part of a half-hour each
week routing the Red tinchsruound in the U.S.
As you may recall, Herb Philbrick (or, as
? many viewers came, to know him, "Comrade
%Hort%) actually did lead three lives. From 1940
to 1949, he was. (1) a New England advertising

abruptly in 1940 when .-Nfr. Philbrick's testi-

. "Lots of people accuse me of being a profes-
sional anti-Communist," Mr. Philbrick says. "I
just smile broadly and say, 'I hope I'm not an
amateur.' We need more professional anti-
Communists. There are too many amateurs."
To hear the Philbricks telt it, professional-
ism in their chosen field means living a life
filled with fatigue and fraught with peril. "Oa brick himself, some are "sponsored" pieces

There are, however, other ways to .reach the
uncencerned. For more than a- year, Mr. Phil-
brick has owned and operated U.S. Press Asso-
ciation, which sends politically rignt-of?center
editorials to 1,200 newspapers, most of them
small weeklies. -
The six editorials sent out each week are
predominantly anti-Comminlist or conservative
in tone. While most are written by Mr. Phil-

Mr. Philbrick's own editorials have ranged
is recent months from an attack on Sen. J. MI.-.
liam Fulbright to an analysis of what he
termed the "smear campaign" that killed the
Supreme Court nomination of Judge Clement
haynsworth. A not-atypical series of spon-
sored editorials concerned what were called in-
flationary union demands being made against
General Electric Co. The sponsor was General
Electric, and the corporate giant paid U.S.P.A.
.$400 an editorial.
?
A Lot oLAliases
Lift:sal-the ,U.S.P.A., however, is i.nore than
a heady round of editorial w?riting. Each week,
the Post Offee delivers'some. 1,800 newspapers
to the Phithilchs, who, vi1lr a few partstime
helpers, scour each and every page for reprints
of the assoielation's Material. Paying sponsors
are then rriftiled any relevant editorials to show
them what they got for their money.
Further burdening the Bethesda postal sys-
tem, the .11.'ailbricks also' receive regular mail-
ings of propaganda from Communist countries,
as well as copies of the Daily World, the organ
of the U:S.: Communist Party. All mail from
.the enemy Comes addressed to assorted aliases
assumed by Mr. Philbriek. A recent letter from
Radio Havana, for example, arrived at-the
Philbrick readeRe addressed to one "H. A.
Arthur." Communist mail received by the Phil.
bricks has one destination. "We turn it over to
the FBI," Philbrick says,
The Philbricks' relationship with the Pm is
close. Mr. Philbrick says some Communist
Party members still provide him with informa-
tion, which he then passes on to the bureau.
And every December, he adds, a Christmas
card arrives extending greetings of the season
from J. Edgar Hoover.
The bureau also serves as a handy watch-
dogs. '!Once there :vas a threat and an FBI
agent showed up mysteriously .and stayed with
us the whole time," Shirley Philbrick says. The
federal government's watchfulness is made
easier by the fact that the?Philbricks' house is

belonging to C1h FBI and other goveenment
employes. ? ?
A Busy Life
Time spent by the Philbrielts in Bethesda
can hardly be called restful.- Besides running
the U.S.P.A., Mr. Philbrick teaches seminars
for the Christian Anti-ConsmunisM Crusade,
makes radio .and televHion appearances, and
is active in several anti-Communist and con-
servative organizations. He's atho involved in
rewriting "I Led Three Lives" as a textbook
on communism..
Mr. Philbrick's writing- has periodically ap-
peared over the .past 20 years in a variety of
anti-Communist publications. A typical -Phil-
brick article appeared in a book titled "Your
Church?Their Target" and took on folksingers
in general and Pete Seeger in particular for.al-
leged Communist connections.
--
herb Philbrick says his Anti-Communism
dates from 1940, when he discove?red that an Os-
tensibly independent group called the Massa-
chusetts Youth Council was controlled by the
Communist Party. He quickly informed the
FBI, which advised him to participate in the
council's activities and in turri to -keep the bu-
reau informed. ? _

Appeals for the Si:WI Circuit to
order Judge Keith to vacate his .
disclosure order. The request was
in the form of what is known as a
petition for a writ of mandamus.
In commanding the disclosure,
the petition says, Judge Keith
11m-
ited the Justice Department to
only two courses of action, "either ?
of which," it said, "would result in
grave and irreparable harm to le-
gitirnate governmental interests."
.The first course of. action, the
petition says, would be the clisclo-
sure of sealed information that .
"would prejudice the national secu-
rity."
The second course would be to
'refuse to comply with the order,
"in order to protect the natibnal '
security," which would result in a ?
disrnissal of the indictment against
Plamondon.
The logs of the surveillances,
according to the petition, were giv-
en to the District Court judge in
Detroit in the form of a sealed
exhibit for Judge Keith's inspec-
tion only. Records show that when
Plamondon's attorneys claimed the
surveillance was illega 1, Judge
Keith granted their motion to dis-
close the information.
. Notified by the Justice Depart-
ment that an appeal would be
made to the Sixth Circuit, which

THESE disclosures came in
Senate Appropriations hear-
ings.- They are shocking be-
cause of the blatant hoodwink-
lug which has gone on now for
more than 20 years, but they
are not really surprising..
Four years ago it was dis-
covered that CIA funds had
been routed into the National
Student Association through a
series of fake "foundations."
The hue and cry of that disclo-
sure resulted in adoption of a
policy that "no federal agency. -
shall provide covert support, '
direct 'ef indirect, to any of the
nation's educational or volun-
tary organisations." -
Radio Free Europe, theoret-
ically both educational and 1
voluntary, has consumed pos-
sibly $100 million in CIA
money since President John-
son .approved that policy four
years ago.

Fall .Legaliz at ion
If the courts ultimately hold
that .Mitchell, may decide on his
own to approve surveillance on
"d omestic 'subversives," it
would not only mean that he
would have much more flexibili-
ty in using that method of inves-
tigation.
It also would mean that any
eavesdropping would be consid-
ered completely legal. That
would insulate the records or
tapes of (Tic eavesdropping from
any possiblee disclosure to indi-
viduals whose cortvers ions had
been piclaed up.
Under a Supreme Court deci-
sion on March 10, 1969, in the.
so-called "Alderman ease," any
records of illegal eavesdropping
must be turned over to defense,

tialjurors, presently drawn
from persons registered to

election, should be broadened
to include younger persons
down to the age of 18. ?
Poet Allen Ginsberg of New
York argued that the opinions

'those of older Americans be-
cause young people have "the

tion led to the White Panther
defense motion currently be-
ing argued here before U.S.
District Judge Damon J.

Keith accepted Ginsberg
and Vaughn as expert wit-
nesses about young people
though strenuous objections
were filed by Assistant U.S.
Attorney John H. Hausner,
head of the prosecution team.
? HAUSNER called the

Ginsberg "the fantasties of a
middle-aged man who can't
admit that his youth is gone."
Hausner said Ginsberg,'s
testimony did not prove a gen-
eration gap exists, but only
indicated there is "a Ginsberg
gap, the gap between those
who agree with him and those
who don't."

DEFENSE ATTORNEY
Leonard Weinglass said that
in the court's district there
are about. 450,003 persons be-
tween 21 and 29. Of these only
630 are on the 1968 jury list
and all but 74 were excluded
as prospective jurors because
they were students, service-
men, or mothers with young
children.
Veitiglass said the Congress
had. stipulated that if a jury
list does not reflect an accur-
ate cross-section of the com-
munity it should be su,)ple-
merited With the names of'pro-
spective jurors taken from
other lists, such as census
roils.
Calling the present list un-
constitutional and against the
congressional rnandate,
Weinglass said, "This court
has the power . . . to expand
this jury list so we have a true
cross-section of the commun-
ity." -
If Keith throws out supple-
ments the present list it would
mean a postponement of the
trial which is scheduled to
statr Jan. 26.

comes in entirely without
bias," he said.
Although lawyers attempt to
weed out biased jurors, Bond
.said this can't be done com-
pletely. What is hoped for; he
? said is that all attitudes should
:be represented on the jury -so
I there can be an "averaging
lout of bias."

plans to take time off from her

John's upcoming trial
-Sinclair says he's innocent:

office in Ann Arbor until I reed

Of course Elsie believesi in her

abandoned her plan to retire

will be enough money to pay for

But after I began to see the way
the police harassed and perse-
cuted him I began to read and
think a little more about what
he was saying and it made
sense."
Sinclair's family and friends
believe he is apolitical prisoaer,
but his rebellion has not been
strictly political. As his wife
Leni explains:
"After John finished cam
and moved to Detroit in la91 lie
decided against simply joining
the local Committee to End the
War in Vietnam. It was too easy
to be just one more middle-class
radical commuting in from the
suburbs to protest the war. Pro-
test seemed like a sideline, he
wanted to set up an alternate
life-style."
Sinclair's. idea was to find a
for his friends to support
themselves 'through their own
creativity. Be founded the De-
troit Artists' Workshop, ar-
ranged club jobs for musicians,
sold poetry feral staged success-
ful photographic exhibitions.
Every Sunday afternoon there
were poetry readings, concerts
and shows at the Artists' Work-
shop storefront near Detroit's
John Lodge Freeway. Sinclair
also rented sbe- old homes near
the Workshop foi? $50 a month
each and turned them into com-
munal accommodations for 50
workshop members.
The police, however, saw the
Artists' Workshop as the base of
Detroit's spreading drug culture.
Undercover agents soon began
infiltrating the group, searching
for marijuana. One agent gave
himself away by showing up
asking: "Is this the place where
I can get some dope and hippie
broods?"
But en Jan, 21, 1937, the police
stiored. Agents arrested 56 per-
SCMS, includiug Sinclair. The ba-
sis for the sweeping raid was
Sinclair's gift of two marijuana
cigarettes to narcotics agent Va-
han Kapegian nearly a month
earlier. Kapegian had posed as a
Ii ippie candlemaker named
?Louita He was not without soul,
Shortly before the Jan. 24 bust,

about it after being released on
bail. Ile kept busy expanding the
Workshop commune into a psy-
chedelic conglomerate 'called
Trans-hove Energies.
Soon five rock musicians from
suburban Livonia joined up and
gave Trans-Love a national rep-
utation. The musicians called
themselves the MC-5 and an al-
lied Trans-Love light company
brought psychedelic perform-
PneOS to appreciative young au-
diences. ?
By late :J.9$7 Sinclair's hair bit-
lowed past his shoulders and he
was articulsting the Trans-Love
philosophy: rock and roll, dope
and love-making in the streets.
Sinclair rejoiced over the ability
of the MC-5 arid similar groups
to capture the minds of the
young and destroy the old order:
"You don't need to get rid of all
the bookies, you Just rob them of
their replacements, let . them
breed, atrophy and die out, with
the heirs cheering triumphantly
all around."
But as the MC-5 soard to the
top of the charts with "Kick Out
the Jams," Trans-Bove begari
having problems with the com-
munity. Menorahs were tossed
at the commund and building
inspectors found code violatons.
In June 1932, after the -band
was charged with several noisc
violations, the commune decided
to migrate 40 miles west to An
Arbor. Two big - communal
homes were rented in the middle
of the UnivCasity of Michigan'a
fraternity row. The White.
Panther party was formed to
provide a practical political
organization for young white
rebels.
Modeled along the lines of the
Black Panther- paaty, this orga-
niaation now elairria about 3,900
members in various chapter
across the country. The printery
goal of the party is liberation of
the youth culture. Specific aims
include aboittion of money, dis-
solution of all political bounda-
ries, legalization or marijuana,
release of all political prisoners,
free 'education and an end to the
draft.
, Panther literature began going
out to high school ancients, par-
ticularly in the Midwest, and an-
gry parent's asked postal offi-
cials to ban it.

"It's strictly the filthiest stuff
I've ever seen. Ten, 11 and
12-year-olds are receiving it. I'm
bewildered with some of it and it
frightens -me." Two Panthers
were charged with distributing
obscene materials to minors
and several cbseenity ? cases
were brought against recoil
store clerks who sold the MC-5'a.
' "Kick Out the ? jams.."
One national magazine wrote
that the record album was ''run-
old with rotten revolutinary
rhetoric, and the 111.1731C
there's no music, juai sound:
ugly crashes airci bLogs zaal,
whizzes and wings and dings ...
manic, vulgar sound." ?
Sinclair ignored the criticism
and worked hard to redece ten-
sions between Ann 1?a-ber youth
and police. He encoaraged
youths "to attend city comicil
meetings and make therns,?lves
heard instead of sitting around
bitching about: cotalitirtaa,? ?
The Panthers negotiated with
the city fathers to obtain per-
mits for Sunday afternoon con-
certs in local parks. They VIEUIL.-

morphine and barbitreatos. ?
By the summer of 1.080 Sin-
clair was 'so busy working on
these problems that he had near-
ly forgotten about the 1.937
marijuana offense. But when he
was notified of a July trial date.
he didn't panic; he organized au'
elaborate deferee challenging
t Ii e constitutionality of
marijuanitprohibition.
In court medical ex-parts told a
three-judge .panel that
marijuana was not addictive arid
that it was safer than cigarettes.
But the panel threw out the chal-
lenge and on July 25, 1989, he
was convicted.. He was son;

troit Recorder's Court Judge,
Robert J. Colombo:

time has . come. Tie day has
come. And you may laugh, Mr.
Sinclair, but you have a long
time to laugh about it. Because
it is the judgment of this Court
that you, John Sinclair, stand

A greatly intensified effort to protect pub-
lic se' \rants from politically motivated harm
has been undertaken by the Secret Service,
/the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and
the Central Intelligence Agency.
The chief members of the government
here, as well as the personnel of foreign em-
bassies in Washington and American em-
bassies abroad, are being given a rapidly
expanded .guard.
Meanwhile, programs to train 'specialized
police and intelligence agents for this pur-
pose are proceeding under forced draft.
Very little is being said in public about
? this effort, lest ideas for blackmailing gov-
ernm.ents and their ofilCials be planted in
militant .or unstable minds. The results of
, the inteleisitled 'protection. are visible as 'well
as known to Washington news correspon-
dents, however. . .
The issue is pointed up by the Berrigan
affair which iic.)w is being ,given widd pub-
licity because 'it is unavoidable-, in view of a
public grand jury indictment, and because it
? shows what Is .represented by the indictment
-as successful police work by the

presume the possibility of conspiracy to blow
up the heating pipes for some federal build-
- ings here, and thereafter to kidnap Presi-
dential Assistant for National Security Af-
fairs Henry A, Kissinger.,
It is assumed by the FBI that an anti-?
war group -calling itself the East Coast Con-
spiracy to Save Lives including . a 'number
? of Roman Catholic priests like the Rev.
Philip F. Berrigan, a former priest, and
nun who were. included in the indictment, is
not paCifIst as claimed, but willing to corn-
Omit crimes to try to stop the fighting in
Vietnam.,.
This is denied by those of the defendants
? who have spoken 'publicly, and by other
members of the so-called East Coast Con-
spiracy.
Without -drawing any -conclusions from
? this 'case, which is yet to be tried, it shows
the greatly enlarged bffort of the FBI to
deal with the clangers of a period in which
both norMal and abnormal persons have'
been increasingly involved with violence be-

been declared against governments and their
hitherto vulnerable top men. It is conducted
by persons and groups who are willing to
use illegal violence to protest what the gov-
comment considdrs to be a legal form of
violence in the Vietnam war.
Without attempting a judgment on the
political and social questions involved, or
the legal questions, the result has been a
wave of efforts to blackmail governments
.on the part of frustrated citizens.
Americans are highly conscious of. the .
three assassinations of- two Kennedys and
Dr. Martin Luther King, and -of the hijack-
ing of airplanes in the recent Jordanian
crisis. They have heard of the kidnappings
of American, British, Canadian, and Latin-
American diplomats and public figures.
They have been told that security agents
now are flying on American international
plane routes. . ? . -
catt5es'
What they have
not seen is the guards ac-
companying many more officials than Mr.
Kissinger, Or standing outside embassies
here.
In his most recent issue of Uniform
Crime Reports, FBI Director J. Edgar
2
,
Hoover makes a discreet reference to the
"social causes"- along with other causes
of the sharp increas.e in crime in the past
year. He refers to controversial legislation
passed by, Congress and state legislatures,
which he calls "positive action" to meet,
among other things, "civil disorder crises."
He does not mention the shaui.'increase
in agents of his and other. protection
agencies, which appear only ein legislative
appropriations.
STATI NTL
The ,,citiestions which arise of protecting
innocent persons from a wave of new
security measures and from public pres-
sures to solve crimes of this sort are yet
unanswered and only began to be discussed
by the expiring .Congress in any detail.
But the known and unavcr.ved incidents
of the new kinds of guerrilla war are press-
ing on the police and they are responding
under counterpressure.
A new era embracing new levels and
techniques of law enforcement, along with
its attendant problems of personal liberty
and defense of the- innocent, seems to be
opened. Whether it 'will abate with the
-winding down of the Vietnam war, assum-
ing that takes place as hoped,- remains to
be seen. ?

SAIGON, Jan. 4 (AP)--The:
saga of the Green Berets in
.Vietnam came to an end today
with the transfer of the laL
' two Special Forces camps to
the South Vietnamese.
? The move reflected the
Vietnamization of the war and
.-the downgrading of the Green
Berets, currently out of favor
.with U.S. Army regulars
though their exploits won
'them fame in song and story,
'and even a movie.
