But they dd not agree that
"Red" Raborn is just a front

be expected-drom Any direc-

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

as possible. To enter Into policy
discussions as an advocate, in
his view, would Inevitably com-
promise his roe as an impartial

is even less evidence, that he

eWhen C.I.A. operations c-'i
