WHO PICKS REPORTERS TO TELL CIA STORY? column by Westbrook Pegler
Re Richard and Gladys Harkness and their story about the CIA
-advise?tadas-orpro:r
!(Naguib and Nasser!) when the
time seemed ripe for a palace'
lcoup, and they indicated bow suchl
devious matters were best ar-
ranged."
? So, for any people naive enough'
, to think that the phrase "free,
'world" means countries where the,
.people choose _their own govern-
ments are DOW informed how the!
CIA choose governments for other'
!countries, being specialists in "pal-1
lace coups" and "how such devious
matters were best arranged"!
In the same spirit of boastful,'
admissions of how CIO overthrows!
and sets up new governments the.
authors write: .
"A pother - influenced
triumph was the ? successful over-
throw, in Iran on the sunnocr of
1953, of old, Mossadegh and the
return .to power of this country's.
friend, Shah Mohammed Biza Pah-
levi."
For any Americans who shudder
at the thought of having that homo-
cidal king of Iran as their."frighd"
we hasten to?eiplain that when the
authoi' p19k1 of '"this Country's
friend" they mean that the Shah
took his' country's oil and gave it
over to Standard Oil of New jer-11
sey and Anglo-Iranian Oil.
And finally the authors also showi
that it was CIA which sparked thel
overthrow of the recognized re-
gime .in Guatemala, that we fur-11
nished the arms and leadership,
from outside Guatemala for the in-
vasion which put the junta head-
ed by dictator Castillo in power.'
And for any who might think that
there are any limits to the spon-:
sorship of force and violence in
other countries by CIA, the author'
quotes a speech by Senator Mike!
"That CIA liad subsidized al
Mansfield of Montana:
Nazi-type organization in West
Germany which had marked lead.,
ers of the Social Democratic politi.1
cal party for liquidation . . . that
CIA was maintaining the tatterde-
Ari,ftlion .remains of a Nationalist
Chinese' Army in Burma, despite
Burmese; protests to the United
Nations.

, SO ARROGANT -are these sup.
jot bars of this organized iutctfer-
ence, into the affairs of' other toun?
tries that they taunt theThaily,
Worker for not. knowTng even a
small part of how much interfer-
ence abroad is actually being or-
ganized by our government.

"Grasping at a wisp of evidence,",
the Harlmesses ,write, "the Com-i
munist newspaper ' lie New York-
)
Daily yo4er Asiti, 4- out for at-
tack- a 11.06000,17100 Wind voted by
Congress in the Mutual Security,
Act of 1951." This fund was to be
used to arm "selected persons" and
organize "military formations" to;
overthrOW government's with which'
we maintain 'diplomatic relations.'
I So the,14rie?seS'in the Sateve-
izost giVe'us-iiOt a Wisp of evidence,
but bushels of evidence that sub-
version, force and violence, and the
overthrow of governments which 1
dpn't meet Standard Oil specifica-
tions is the reitular business of our
gbvenupent through the agency
headed by Allen Dulles.
And still tbe Administration in
Washington has the gall to term
lany effort by peasants in some co-
lonial country to get ownership of
the land they till as proof -that it
is the Soviet Vnion -whi('h is sub-'
