EXPRESS SHOCK AND DISMAY
Washington, DC
ROBERT McCORMICK: "The Central Intelligence Agency
got another going aver in the Sanata today. This time the
criticism was based on a latter published in the St. Louis
Globe Democrat, signed by Richard Halms. Helms is the new
Director of the CIA.
"The letter praised an editorial in the paper which
criticized Chairman Fulbright of the Foreign Relations Comm-
ittee for his part in trying to extend Senatorial control
over the Agency. "

"Senator McCarthy, the Minnesota Democrat, called
the Senate's attention to the letter . Many of his colleag-
ues joined him in expressing shock and dismay that Helms
should have written such a latter.
"All this came -about 12 hours after.. the Senate rel-
easad a carefully censored version of what'happaned on the
Senate floor when the Sanata held an unusual secr~st session
on how much control the Senate should exercise over the
intelligence agency." ,
