CHAIRMAN ACCEPTS APOLOGY
CPYRGHT
MORGAN: "CIA Director Richard Helms, in office
only a month, went before the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee this morning and personally apologized to
Chairman William Fulbright of Arkensas for sending a
letter to the editor of the St. Louis Globe Democrat
praising the paper's editorial criticism of Fulbright.
"Helms said he had made a mistake, was sorry
he had praised the paper for an editorial attacking
Fuibright's efforts to gain a say in CIA activities for
his Foreign Relations Committee. The Chairman accepted
the apology, but Democratic Senator Morse was not satis-
fied, demanded that Helms resigned, declared 'Until he
does, the American people can't rest secure in the belief
the Agency is living up to its legal mandate,'"
