These sources argue that the experience and pl ofessfonahsm of Its staff are so great that ny lack of these quaijjefln Admiral Raborn IN scarcely felt. But they dd not agree that "Red" Raborn is just a front man. He is different-as would be expected-drom Any direc- tor who preceded him. but there Is evidence available to suggest that he may not be such an un- fortunate chore as has been suggested in a! number of crit- ical articles in the press. The admiral is Raid to have President Johnlon's confidence, although in a, different way from.' the confidence President Kennedy placed in Mr. McCone. The latter was a valued mem- ber of the group that argued out high policy and Influenced the President'sl decisions, not with facts but also with opin- ions and -recommendations. Admiral Raborn is said to make little fort to exert such an Influence on policy. Partly, this is bicause Mr. John- son appar ntlyl does not want the C.I.A. director in such a role --and among those interviewed by The New York Times there was . a belief that one reason John McCone loft the post was that he could opt play as infii- entlal a role a~ he had in the miral's a his Navy Of a ser"1G than a poll He believes a Is his duty toe lay the best av*llable facts be- fore the President and those other high officials who make or Influence policy, so that their judgments may be as informed as possible.

Among knowledgeable offici-l als, moreover, dmiral Raborn is credited whet at least two administrative developments within the ag cy-both stem- g g in,eom his Navy Lsag-*e$s Planning He has instkiled an opera- tions ouster, not unlike a mili- tary command Post or a Navy ship's "combat nformation cen- ter."
