Reports On Nation's Espionage Activities

EDITORS NOTE: Fictional spies accomplish the impossible In the nick of time and usually win a beautiful girl. Real life spies for the United States operate in secrecy and probably see little glamor. In the following dispatch, the first of four, UPI national reporter Harry Ferguson begins a report on U.S. espionage activities. By HARRY FERGUSON United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) —America’s super-spy organization lists its number in the telephone book and once issued a road map showing how to get to its headquarters. But frankness stops right there and no organization in Washington wraps itself in such a thick blanket of secrecy as the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Congressmen frequently complain the CIA is-toa secret. They are frustrated because they cannot find out precisely what the organization does, how much money it spends and whether the charge is true that it sometimes exceeds its authority by dabbling in U.S. foreign policy even to the extent of helping overthrow governments. Thus there were many quiet smiles in Congress when Lytton H. Gibson, a lawyer representing some construction firms, told a story at t zoning commission hearing in nearby Fairfax County, Va. The CIA was building its new beadquarters at Langley, Va., and Gibson’s clients planned an apartment project nearby. They wanted to know how many persons would be employed at CIA headquarters. “I called several congressmen and senators,? Gibson said, “and was told they couldn’t get the information. On the spur of the moment I phoned the Russian Embassy. The second person I talked to told me his information was that CIO had about 3,500 people at Langley and eventually would have 11,000.” Has Ready Statement Reporters attempting to check such things are likely to be handed this statement by CIA: “The Central Intelligence Agency does not confirm or deny stories of the press whether good or bad; never explains its organization; never identifies its personnel except for a few in the top echelons; and will not discuss its budget, its methods of operation or its sources of information.” What the critics of CIA fail to consider is that if it didn’t oper-

ate in secrecy it would be out of business within a month. You cannot conduct espionage in the openhanded way that the Agriculture Department collects figures and issues crop reports. But the fact seems to be that congressional irritation over the CIA reflects a distaste on the part of Americans for spying. It goes all the way back to the end of World War I when Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson ordered the disbandment of the “Black Chamber,” a group of experts who had been cracking enemy codes. Noting that the war was over, Stimson explained: "Gentlemen don’t read each other’s mail.” Until Pearl Harbor That philosophy prevailed until the Sunday morning when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. Informed persons are substantially in agreement that there was plenty of little pieces of information abound Washington to warn of the attack. But no organization nor person was charged with the duty ot fitting the pieces together and making a picture of what was about to happen. That is now the function of the CIA. It is not the only intelligence agency in Washington. The Army, Navy and Air Force have intelligence agencies, and recently an over-all group has been set up by the Defense Department. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is charged with the duty of fighting Communist subversion and sabotage inside the United States. The State Department and the Atomic Energy Commission have intelligence units. Meet Often Representatives of all these organizations meet once a week, or more often if developments indicate the necessity. They must be ready on short notice to come up with facts that will help the National Security Council and the president formulate policy. It is the responsibility of the director of the CIA to assemble and evaluate the information collected by all these intelligence groups. He also must prepare a daily “intelligence bulletin” which is placed on the desk of the president every morning and contains the latest information from all parts of the world. Remain Anonymous Except for the men in the top jobs, agents of all these intelligence units remain as anonymous as possible. Charles Corddry, UPI Defense Department correspond-

Rainfall Ends Winter Drought Over Indiana By United Press International Thunderstorms replaced heavy snow and sub-zero cold as the latest weather plagues in Indiana, with most Hoosier areas getting their first rain since early December—or even earlier. Drenching showers fell on the snow which accumulated last Friday up to depths of 10 inches and combined with temperatures in the 50s and 60s to melt the soggy blanket. The resulting runoff of melting snow and new rain measuring up to an inch or more in depth gave Indiana streams and rivers a flushing they have not had for many weeks. The rain ended l. winter drought for a two-months period during which precipitfP/On was generally less than one-third iicrmal. It also appeared to have ended, at least for r. week, the historic cold that prevailed during nearly all of the December-through-Feb-ruary period. Temperatures reached as high as 66 along the Ohio River Sunday, and the upper 40s and 50s in northern and central areas. Overnight lows were some degrees above freezing as the electrical storms came. Highs today will range in the 50s and 60s, lows tonight in the 30s and 40s, and highs Tuesday from the 30s to near 50 as a colder trend develops. However, the outlook for the week indicated temperatures will average near normal highs of 36 I to 53 and normal lows of 20 to 33, with Tuesday's cooler trend repeated near the weekend and moderation in between. Precipitation will be mostly rain, averaging one-half to threefourths of an inch north and threefourths to an inch elsewhere. There’s a chance the rain will change to snow over the northern two-thirds of the state sometime before it ends Tuesday. Rainfall overnight included an inch at Muncie and Covington. Other totals included Anderson .73 Winchester .71, Crawfordsville .87, Lafayette .65, Frankfort .53, Peru .61, Columbia City .24, Wabash .64 Elwood .70, Spencer .52, Bluffton .56, Fort Wayne .34, Indianapolis .33.

Scribe, Pamela Ratliff. ent who knows his way around the Pentagon better than most major generals, had never seen nor heard of the young man who conducted the nationally televised briefing on the Russian weapons in Cuba on Feb. fl. He was John T. Hughes, 34, a special assistant in the Defense Department’s intelligence unit. Apparently he is a specialist in briefing generals and admirals, but he never has been available to Pentagon reporters and now that his brief hour as a national television celebrity is over he has again retired into the shadows. One phrase that Hughes kept repeating — “the intelligence community”—puzzled many persons. He was referring to all the intelligence groups that gather weekly with the CIA to trade and evaluate information. The CIA keeps “watch officers” on duty around the clock under orders to call the director if something significant comes in. The director decides which government officials must be notified immediately. Nobody can get the President of the United States on the phone so fast as the director of the CIA.

(EDITOR’S NOTEi Republican leaders put Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona high on their list of potential rivals to Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller for the IM4 GOP presidential nomination. As a result, UPI asked the senator about a wide range of current issues, including the political outlook, Cuba, Red, China and the nuclear threat. The interview follows.) By WILLIAM THEIS and JOHN A. GOLDSMITH United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) — Sen. Barry Goldwater believes President Kennedy is a victim of “indecision” and that the Republicans can oust the New Frontier from the White House in 1964. The Arizona jet pilot, whose political prestige is soaring among GOP conservatives, also says his party’s 1964 presidential nomination Still is —nip for grabs.” Goldwater gave this assessment of the current political scene in an exclusive interview with United Press International. Touching a wide variety of subjects, both domestic and foreign, the senator: —Said Communist China may explode a nuclear bomb any day now. But he said Peking’s “rickshaw” economy could take 25 years to build a delivery system and fashion a nuclear strike force. —Ruled himself out as a vice presidential candidate. Goldwater said it would be “ruinous” to have a presidential candidate pushing liberal causes while he was attacking them. —Said $7 to $lO billion could be cut from President Kennedy’s proposed budget without touching space or defense efforts. But realistically, he said, the economies will not be made because the Senate will restore House cuts. —Complained that administration defense planners are trying to substitute the President’s civilian authority for necessary tactical and strategic judgments of experienced military leaders. “That is the big mistake Hitler got into — the Kaiser got into,” the senator said. Reserve Air General Goldwater, a reserve Air Force major general, was almost engulfed in plane models — he tries to get a model of each plane he flies — as he sat at his desk and attacked the methods and goals of Kennedy administration defense planning. Tne administration Is considering, defense strategy, he said, “talks about freedom for the President to select the weapons—that can’t be done.” Goldwater said Pentagon planners are operating on the as-1 sumption that U.S. forces, in any

brush-fire war, would have to abandon conventional arms in favor of a full nuclear exchange as soon'as either side used nuclear arms. “I don’t believe either side wants to go into nuclear war. .. but we don’t leave ourselves any room for negotiation or pause,” Goldwater said. Some small nuclear weapons are better for a given job than TOT weapons, he said, and it isn’t necessarily 1 true that their use would result automatically in all-out nuclear conflict. “At any time you could pause and say: ‘The next step may be an attack on one of your airfields with this kind of a weapon,’ ” he said. “I think we are engaged in unilateral disarmament,” Goldwater said. “If Russia has been kept at bay it has been because of the men of the Strategic Air Command.” As their. ..role is diminished by the substitution of missiles for planes he said, U.S. strength is downgraded as against Russia’s. Ahead In Some Fields In some technical fields the Russians "are probably ahead of us,” the senator said. One of these, he said, may be sophisticated radar for judging height and distinguishing between true and decoy warheads. If this is the case, he said; the Russians might be closer to having an anti-ICBM missile than has been disclosed. “This alone might be cause for our seeming willingness to give away everything in order to reach a nuclear test ban agreement with Russia,” he said. Q—What about the risk that Red China and other countries will develop nuclear bombs compared with the risks inherent in a test agreement? A— “l think Red China can set off a bomb anytime. Maybe she has already done it, but she has to be able to deliver it. If she is still running arhund in rickshaws I don’t think she can develop delivery vehicles for perhaps 25 years without Russia’s help, and I don't think she’s going to get it. Even France would be hard pressed to develop delivery vehicles in 5 to 10 years.” Q —You have complained about a lack of policy enunciation by the administration, what about Defense Secretary (Robert S.) McNamara’s statement that the U.S. will not accept combat operations in the Western Hemisphere by Russian troops? A— “We could have justified anything we had to do in Cuba or in Laos if such a policy had been in effect. If there is one glaring weakness with this administration it is the inability. . .or refusal to reach decisions.. .indecision is 'our greatest problem. Look at Congress. Isn’t it swamped down in committees and committees and committees! Proposes Cuba Blockade Q—Against all this, what policy would you propose for Cuba? A— “l still think a blockade. We know enough about the shortages. . .food.. .oil. . .that if we put up a blockade and enforced it, I think we could do it without the danger of war, giving the Cuban people help in sabotage, weapons.. .If need be actual military help, but I don’t think we’d have to go that far. I asked Lemnitzer (Gen. Lyman L. Lemnitzer, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) and Taylor (Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, the present chairman) if Russia would defend Cuba. The answer was ‘No, she wouldn’t*. . .she couldn’t. . .”

Stale Traffic Toll Increased To 160 By United Press International The death of a Chicago man in a Hammond accident today followed a six-fatality weekend in Indiana and raised the state’s 1963 toll to at least 160 compared with 151 this time last year. Alfred J. De Cero, 48, was killed two hours past Sunday midnight when his car smashed into a steel guard around a traffic information sign on a median strip between a dual-lane highway at the north edge of Hammond. De Cero was dead on arrival at St. Margaret’s Hospital in Ham. mon, his chest pierced by the steering post of the car. Police said he apparently had been driving in the wrong lane and was trying to get back in the right lane when the accident happened. Rain which swept the area may have obscured De Cero’s vision and contributed to the accident, as did the weather in all three fatal crashes during the 54-hour weekend.
