?Meany, Elmo Roper, Arthur
The ' U.S. government doesn't
Imow- Whether to cry or laugh
over a hew East Germ an.publi-
;eation called "Who's Who in the
,CIA" which purports to expose
:3,00o score U.S. agents around
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
that after going through the
book he's spotted about a dozen
honest-to-goodness CIA agents,
V and that includes Director Rich-
ard Helms.
Because of its enticing title,
the book has become something
of a hot item in certain unsophis-
ticated foreign offices, and more
than a couple have sent mes-
.sages?:to Washington inquiring if
KV
uoS.vrrm
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
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 1044 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 hy;
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."

INR.
"Nobody from the CIA ever,
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."
The book is in very short sup,?
ply in Washington and has taken'
on the same "in" quality as Mao
Tse-tung's "Quotations" did in
Its first days of publication. The'
Saville Book Store' had five cop;
ies at $4.95 for a while, and nova!
is awaiting- a new order-from-
1ast Berlin.
