All told, then, several hundred

by the defector, once a high-
ranking KGB official, will draw
first scrutiny for a very spe-
cial reason.
They could provide a two-
Way look at the job yet to
be done - a look inside. the
State Dept. as well as a look
abroad. The latter would be
via our once spy-riddled em-
bassy at Warsaw.
It Is reasoned that a close
scrutiny of the Warsaw Base
of 1960-61 would show how the
four diplomats and the foreign
service officer's wife were com-
promised; and how, later, after
their exposure, they were saved
by a magic wand- waved from
the State Dept.'s command
post in Foggy Bottom.
VITAL EMBASSY
Warsaw is an important em-
bassy for several reasons, but
mostly because it is where the
U. S. maintains direct contact
with the ambassador of Red
China.
Goleniewski, it can now be'
revealed, was a STIP-a stay-
in-placer-in those days. He
1had sent a few messages to the
,CIA indicating he wanted to
(defect. He was told to stay-in-
}place, that he would be more
useful ae he was.
This imposed an additional
}worry on him-but the infor-
tmation he produced was sen-.
sational. It was a ' CIA ten-
strike.

The Foreign Relations Com-
mittees of both Houses of Con-
gress can be counted in on the
act. They have perked up their
'interest in the recent flops of
CIA and State abroad; espe-
cially the bumbling of both
agencies in ignoring the coun-
sel of our former Ambassador
to Panama, Joseph S. Farland.
For months before his resig-
nation last summer, Ambassa-
dor Farland had c a i l e d the
turn-and filed reports on-the
widespread sabotage and revo-
lutionary plots of Castro agents
throughout the Caribbean, in-
cluding Panama.
In the Feb. 25th issue of the
Congressional Record, Mr. Far-
land is quoted as follows.:
"When I arrived home in
