The ' U.S. government doesn't
know -whether to cry or laugh
over a new East German publi:
:cation called "Who's Who in the
?CIA" which purports to expose
3,000 secret U.S. agents around
the world.
They're all in there-such
`agents" as Sen. Eugene J.
McCarthy, Vice President Hu.
bert - H. Humphrey, George
?Meany, Elmo Roper, Arthur
Goldberg, Sen. Frank Church,
John Gardner and Lyndon
Baines Johnson.
There also are about 2,000
State Department 'and' Foreign
Service officials who never have
served a day in-the CIA and
some 800 or so people who were
in the OSS during World War II
and have.. limited their, intelli-
gence work since then to'reading
James Bond novels.
A top Intelligence officer says
book he's spotted about a dozen
honest-to-goodness CIA agents,
and that includes Director Rich-
ard Helms.
Because of Its enticing title,
First Secretary So and So is
really a CIA man.
The State Department Inevi-
tably says., no and is somewhat
annoyed by the whole business
since the book is so 'patently
uninformed.
It was written by Julius Mad-
er. He lists his collaborators as
Mohamed Abdelnari of Beirut,
Ambalal Bhatt of Bombay, Fer-
nando Gamarro of Mexico City,
and Shozo Ohashi of Yokohama.
What they apparently have
done is go through a series of ,f`
U.S. biographic books, such as
the State Department's Bio-
graphic Register, known affec-
tionately as the "stud book."
Anyone with any sort of intelli.
gence background is automati-
cally listed.
Thus, McCarthy who worked
for one year in 1944 in military
intelligence, is listed. Likewise
for Prof. H. Stuart Hughes of
Harvard, who is anti-war, but
who worked during the war for
OSS. The same for Goldberg
who worked for OSS during the
war.
Work for Bureau
The State Department's prob-
lems stem from the fact that
many of its officers put in a tour
of duty in its Bureau of Intelli-
gence and Research, headed by,
Thomas L. Hughes. This bureau
is not an espionage organization,
but makes studies and reports
for policy makers. Anyone who
works for INR (as it is called) is
so listed in the "stud book."
And bycoincidence,the
"Who's Who" begins to list peo-1
ple as working for the CIA when`
they first started working for
INR.
"Nobody from the CIA even
has an? INR cover," one official.
said. "It is too obvious. Anyway;
INR has to compete with the.
CIA in making evaluations, so it
is hardly likely to want to be
staffed by CIA men." j
The book is in very short sups
ply in Washington and has taken
on the same "in" quality as Mao
Tse-tung's "Quotations" did in'
its first days of publication. They

the book has become something
of a hot item in certain unsophis-
ticated foreign offices, and more
than a couple have sent mes-
