WASHINGTON ? Because it has
different strategic needs than the
Soviet Union, the United States need
not seek point-for-point equivalence
with the Soviet military, former CIA
director William E. Colby said yester-
day.
"We don't have to match them on
everything," said Colby. "Forces and
weaponry must be chosen (careful-
Ty) and the temptation avoided to
mirror-image the Soviets."
Colby cited several areas where, he
said, it would be foolish for the Unit-
ed States to attempt to match Soviet
military deployment. ,- . ?
:He said the U.S. Navy did not need a
fleet of offensive submarines compa-
chief questions
o match Soviet arms
rable to the Soviets because "the
American need is for effective anti-
submarine warfare for- our convoys
to Europe and Japan." - -
And the United States does not
need a nuclear first-strike capability
because cruise missiles, the MX mis-
sile and other second-strike weapons
would provide the necessary mill-
tary deterrence, Colby said.
, ?
Speaking at a seminar on foreign
policy issues sponsored by the Arnett':
can Enterprise Institute, Colby sugv
gested that U.S. strength in the deo,
ade would depend as heavily on the
vitality of its economic base and the
vigor of its political leadership as the
preparedness of its armed services; :J

Colby Defends C.I.A., but Al
? Assuring his audience that he was
"not a cloak-and-dagger man showing
only the cloak and not the dagger," Wil-
liam E. Colby, the former Director of
Central Intelligence, 1.14ted the cloak a
bit Monday night at a, free-wheeling
'"dialogue meeting" a the Humanist
SOciety of Metropolitan New York.
According to an infiltrator at the
meeting,in a not-so-secret upper room
at Hosoff's restaurant, Mr. Colby was
Boni candid and disarming as lie de-
fended the need for a secret intelli-
gence agency. He fielded spirited chal-
lenge' from such civil libertarians as
Prof.' Paul Lehmann of the Princeton
Theological Seminary and'Algemon D.
Black, head of the Ethical Culture Soci-
ety. ? -
?When Carlin Lamont, the philoso-
, pher, recalled that he had won both
damages and an apology after suing
?, ?
so Concedes Its Flaws
the C.I.A. for opening mail he had sent
his wife from Moscow, Mr. Colby said
? that the practice had stopped and that ?
he had been against it all along. '
Conceding that "wedid a lot' of things
. :
wrong," Mr. Colby provided reassur-
ance of sorts when he said the "stupid-
est" thing the C.I.A.. had ever done was
, to. enlist organized-crime figures in an
effort , to kill Cuba's President Fidel
; Castro: "You couldn't find a more inept
?:crowd than the Mafia," he said.
