We arranged to meet at a mili-

fixed seats.
Colonel Stratton turned out to

long sideburns, at least for a mili-
tary man. Ile sat at the instruc-
tor's desk, and a younger man
took a seat in the fifth row and off
to the side. I was asked to sit in
the first row.
The conversation was friendly,
warm and informal. The colonel
asked questions about my back-
ground and schooling, while the
younger man took notes. .
Colonel Stratton didn't seem
terribly interested in me until at
his invitation I began speaking
Russian. He was surprised that I
could carry on a simple Russian

I could speak other languages.
He gradually grew enthusiastic.

Dear Pierre:
This is in reply to your letter
of Nov. 3. Let me respond to
three points raised in your letter.
First, I did not respond to you
following your phone call of Oct.
25 because the information you
passed on was not put in a form
which called for a reply. You
offered me advice on how "I
could avoid becoming a war
criminal." Since the advice was
offered for my benefit and you
made no suggestions that you
were offering it for your benefit, I
thanked you for providing me
such counsel and said that I would
look into it.
Second, .the-_ CIA _.pp~rehtly
bad_. never intended to visit, the
campus. There was an error in the
original listing of the interviews.
The CIA merely left application
forms for those who might be
interested ih employment with
that agency. I therefore had no
occasion to attempt to persuade
them that they should not
interview at Stanford. Nor would
I have done so, for reasons that
I'have stated publicly a number of
times.
Third, since I regard your
position on complicity as
untenable. I am not persuaded by
your mere assertion to take it
seriously. It seems to me utterly
without substance to suggest a
notion of criminal liability which.
I regard as so strained as to be
absurd.
As I see it, your position must
follow this logic: Honeywell is
charged (not by anybody
competent to bring charges) with
producing weapons which are
used in violation of international
law. (I assume you would agree
that it is only a charge. The
Nuremburg Principles guarantee
the right to a fair trial.)
IJoneywell's -conduct ? i s therefore
argued to be in violation of the
law, and Iioneywell's recruiting
here is in furtherance of that
alleged 'criminal course of action.
My permitting Honeywell to
recruit here puts me into
complicity with those actions.
Absurd Conclusion '
It would follow then that any
other corporation accused of
criminal behavior, a violation of
the anti-trust laws for example, is
furthering its alleged crimes when
it recruits here, and I am guilty of
those violations along with the
corporation by not refusing it use
of the Placement Center. You
may honestly believe that, but I
don't and can't imagine any court
of law reaching such an absurd
conclusion.
In addition, your complicity
notion seems to rest on a belief
that any involvement in the war
effort., no matter' how remote,
constitutes complicity in the
crimes which may have been
committed in the course of that
effort. This must mean that those
of us who pay our taxes, a sizable
portion of which goes to financing
the war, are guilty of complicity
in war crimes. Do you pay your
taxes? Are your own salary and
research support not provided by
a government which you beleive
guilty of war crimes? I believe
that the answer to those questions
is "yes." However, I do not
believe that you are, thereby,
guilty of war crimes although you
may feel differently.
In short, your complicity
arguement is in my view a red
herring. You wish that Honeywell
would not recruit here. Therefore
you conjure up a patently absurd
legal theory. You have to do
better than that.
Tolerance For Error
Freedom has many valuable
privileges and many prices. The
price of. freedom includes a
tolerance for error and a tolerance
for difference of opinion. Whereas
I may carry my fights on one issue
or another as far as I can on an
individual basis, I would not
institutionalize intolerance for
ideas with which I do not agree.
In your last paragraph you
indicate that you were shoved on
top of another professor by an
individual in my employ. You also
state clearly that you do not
intend to name the individual or
to bring charges against him. I will
certainly not initiate any actions
against an individual whose name
I do not know, based on charges
that have not 1,...,a made,

serious other than

mentioning the incident, it is not
clear to me what that purpose
might be. .
Strained Argument
Finally, in your very last
sentence, you add one more link
in your strained argument on
complicity as a war criminal. You
suggest that I would be in
complicity in a war crime if .I
failed to take appropriate action
against this unnamed individual
who is supposed to have shoved.
you down on top of another
professor while you were
attempting to engage in dialogue
with a, 'recruitment officer who
works for a company which
manufactures military materials,
which it sells to the U.S.
governinent,which the U.S.
government uses in warfare, and if
used in warfare may or may not
be used in a manner that violates
international law.
Such a far fetched argument is
unjust to those distinguished
jurists and others who have given
serious thought to the subject; it
is, in short, an insult to
intelligence. Persons such as
yourself, who have overextended
the argument and clothed ? your
actions in such far fetched
notions, have impaired the serious
war protest of this country by
diminishing its credibility and
beclouding the real issue of the
political . responsibility of our
elected officials for the policies
they have pursued.

Criminal Action
Your failure to act also left
those of us who interpret the law
in the way I have outlined with
little choice. Some of us spelled
this dilemna out in the Stanford
Daily in a letter published Nov. 1.
In the light of previous repressive
actions by the Stanford University
Administration, we did not feel
that students, staff, members of
the community, or non-tenured
faculty could be expected to
directly oppose the scheduled
criminal action by means which
would incur certain penalty.
But some of the tenured
faculty appeared at the Placement
Center Thursday morning in the
hope that we could exercise our
responsibility as academics and
members of the international
community of scholars in
opposing what we believed to he a
clearly criminal action.
Since the Stanford University
Administration has removed from
the ranks of tenured faculty one
of our members in a way that
some of us believe violates both

America had supplied.
Hanoi retreated from this
position by agreeing to let ex-

As that equipment wears
out, the draft agreement says.
It can "be replaced on a one-
for-one basis by weapons of

Kissinger said nothing about

The 1962 Laos agreement re-
quired the withdrawal of all
foreign troops and military
personnel, with none to be
reintroduced. Foreseeing prob-
lems, the countries that sought
to neutralize Laos added a
protocol which said:
"The term `foreign military

Q. I note in the Watergate caper, in which five men
invaded Democratic National Headquarters, several
former FBI and CIA men are involved. I thought the
FBI and CIA hired men of high honor who believed
in upholding, not violating, the law. All these years
have I been living in ignorance?--Mrs, R.T.T., Chevy
Chase, Md.
A. The FBI and CIA try to hire honorable men, but in
the course of their activities, some agents learn to
violate the law with impunity. Later when these men
leave the FBI and CIA, they are hired exactly for that
reason. In some instances the FBI and CIA hold their
agencies above the law. When, last, for example,
has Congress investigated the CIA or the FBI?

despair of a man who has lost his
faith. It was over.
He had just sat across the desk
from Richard Helms, director of
the CIA, for the last time, had told
him no, he wasn't moving to an-
other job, but yes, he was work-
ing on a spy novel.
It came out in 1971. It was about
a poor boy from a Pennsylvania
mining town who makes it all the
way up to executive assistant _to
the deputy director of the Na-
tional Intelligence Agency, and
then, for no apparent reason,
starts selling, the Soviets every
secret he can xerox, photograph
or tape-record.
Helms had noted Marchetti's
steady rise from a year of clandes-
tine field work to the analysis
desks of the Intelligence Directo-
rate, to a slot on the national esti-
mates staff, which measures mili-
tary and political potentials of
other countries; then up to the
executive suite to he the "token
dago" as fvta-chetti puts it, of the
14 men who attended morning
coffee every weekday at 9. They
were all "spooks," Marchetti re-
calls, meta ning that the inner cir-
cle that runs the CIA is not coni-
posed of the sort of tidy intellec-
tuals who Could spend 20 years
stud-ing Kurdish newspapers
down in the directorate, but of
the guys ,who savor the spook
game for the game's sake--ev-
erything from locking the type-
writer ribbons up at night to run-
ning airlines in, say, South Amer-
ica; everything from "termination
with extreme prejudice," which is
what the CIA calls assassination,
to the toppling of a particularly
aggravating Middle Eastern re-
gime.
Marchetti was executive assist-
ant to the number-two man in the
Rufus Taylor.
In 1969, at 39, Marchetti looked
like a comer-.--dressing a bit less
establishment than the pin-stripe
CIA dons, and sometimes playing
the professional Italian, which
was strange, seeing that his
ancestors were German-speaking
Tyroleans, only Italian by sur-
name--but still promising. "I
never thought of Vic as naive,"
says an associate from those days.
"Vic was smart. Smart and . . .
can't think of the right word .. .
isn't 'devious'..."
Perhaps he only needed a little
seasoning. Perhaps he could have
risen very high if, like most men
in very high places, he learned to
relish working not only on the
strengths of his convictions or his
cynicisms, but on pure animal
survival instinct.
Anyhow, Helms had seen it
happen to a lot of bright young,,
meth. He had seen them go stale,
get nervous, get; bitter or compla-
cent. Sorrietirnes they quit, like
Marchetti. Sometimes they built
little bureaucratic fiefdoms for
themselves. Sometimes they just
waited out their pension time.
It was the kind of sea change
that's an occupational hazard in
any outfit that demands loyalty
bordering on infatuation-the
Marine Corps, for instance, or
soipe Ivy League colleges-the
kind of organizations whose min-
ions purse their lisps and nod Their
heads every so often and vow that
they're "going to write a book
about it someday."
So Marchetti wrote his book
about it.
"Listen, I'm no Daniel Ells-
berg "I;1e says n(.5 w. "I never loved
anything in rimy life so much as the
CIA. I was going to be one of
these guys who Let special dis-

(Between discreet "no com-

siasm was quoted to him.)

OP'EI itA T ON1..r ,0 3y
by John W. Tuthill
everybody seems to talk-or write-about the
bureaucracy, but, like the weather, nobody does
anything about it. A faceless and pervasive force,
it overwhelms people, and few ever confront it.
One man who did was John W. Tuthill., a
career Foreign Service Officer who came to the
simple conclusion that in Brazil, where he was
appointed Ambassador in 1966, there were too
many official Americans. His remarkable attack
on the "system," or systems, had far-reaching con-
sequences for it helped set in motion successive
rounds of personnel cuts throughout the world---
by both the Johnson and Nixon Administrations-
which have actually resulted in an over-all reduc-
tion in U.S. officials overseas. Here, for the first
time, Ambassador Tuthill tells his own story. He
called his project "Operation Topsy," because, as
lie putts it, "it sought to deal with an organization
that had not been constructed on the basis of a
comprehensive decision of the U.S. government,
but had `jest grooved.' "-The Editors.
Operation Topsy resulted in considerable
budgetary and balance-of-payments advantage
for the U.S. government. These benefits,
however, were not the basic reason for its
being. Operation Topsy came about because
of a political judgment.
U.S. government personnel in Brazil had
increased 'steadily since the spring of 1964,
when the corrupt and ineffective Goulart
regime was overthrown and General Castelo
Branco was proclaimed President of Brazil. By
mid-1966, there were 920 U.S. citizens, plus
about a thousand Brazilian employees in the
American mission.
This number did not-11n-clude the 510 Peace
Corps volunteers. While Operation Topsy
was to involve all major U.S. government
ngdncy operations in Brazil including the pro-
fessional staff of the Peace Corps, it did not
include the volunteers. This was the only im-
portant exception to the cut in personnel, and
it was based upon my conviction that a huge
country like Brazil could easily absorb several
hundred Peace Corps volunteers, who were
engaged in useful work, often in remote parts
of Brazil.
Castelo Branco, who was put in. office by
the military, nevertheless was an extraordi-
nary head of government. Intelligent, trained
to public service and of unquestioned integrity,
his interest was to bring his country out of the
disorder, the lack of growth, and the corrup-
tion that had existed during the immediately
preceding years of the Quadros and Goulart
regimes.
After years of corruption, drift and infla-
tion (at rates up to and above 100 percent a
year) the American government welcomed
with enthusiasts-some thought _ with exces-
sive enthusiasts-the Castelo Branco govern-
ment. The result was a staggering expansion
of the role and personnel of the American
government between 1964 and 1966.
The U.S. government assured Castelo
Branco of a very considerable increase in
economic aid along the lines of the Alliance
for Progress. Previously, U.S. aid had pretty
much been limited to local "islands" within
Brazil, in an effort to be of help to the Bra-
zilian people, but at the same time, to avoid
giving support to a corrupt and inefficient gov-
ernment. In addition-and this of course was
more controversial- the U.S. government
agreed to increase its military aid and im-
plicitly to increase the number of military
advisers in Brazil.
Like most governments, the U.S. govern-
ment is hard to move. However, once the
governmental mass begins to move, it is ex-
tremely difficult to change its direction. It is
also almost impossible to prevent bureaucratic

Austin
By DAVE IITAYES
Staff Writer
You almost have to do a little
cloak-and-dagger work yourself
to find the Austin office of the
Central Intelligence Agency.
Go to the Federal Building on
East 8th and you won't find it
listed in the office index.
Neither will you see its name
posted on any office door.
As in most spy thrillers,
however, the mystery can be
solved if ? one does the
unexpected ' but obvious thing.
In this case look it up in the
telephone book.
A woman will answer your
call by repeating the phone
number, but don't be uncertain
you've found it.
"We try to maintain a low
profile," began William 13,
Wood of the CIA. It's his name
that appears in the index at the
Federal Building and beside the
door of Room 520.
't'he door, complete, with
peephole and nightlatch, opens
into a green-carpeted two-room
office shared by Wood and his
secretary.,
But here the James Bond
scenario ends. The impression
quickly registers that neither of
these CIA.folk has ever clicked
a picture with a camera hidden
in a cigarette lighter, or
snuggled microfilm anywhere.
They probably don't even own
trench coats.
Wood, An
well-polished map, ? is one of the
dozen CIA representatives in
Oklahoma and part of New
Mexico.
The recruiter said he prefers
to work with applicants on a
one-to-one basis, in an effort to
make a "personalized analysis
of an individual."
If? the applicant seems
the country who does recruitin
for the agency.
The CIA tries not to be
obvious in Austin, lie continued,
because as a recruiting office it
has no reason to be otherwise.
"We don't ' really have to
advertise ourselves," he 'said,
because the agency ? has
never had to worry about getting
enough applications.
It seems the CIA is more
concerned with caps and gowns
than cloaks and daggers.
Wood said he receives
'resumes from many people with
background's in law
enforcement because there is a
popular but mistaken notion
that the CIA is some Lind of law
enforcement arm of the
goveriunent.
Ile. maintains that the CIA has
no such duties,. in fact has no
domestic responsibilities, but
works exclusively in gathering
foreign intelligence for the
National Security Council.
Consequently, the CIA . is
looking for people with
-highly-developed intellectual
,,' skills in virtually all fields of
social and'physical science and
technology.
The most' fertile grounds for
recruiters are the university
graduate schools, Wood said.
For this reason, the agency in
1965 located its recruiting office
in' Austin where the University
of Texas maintains the largest
graduate school in the South.
Wood's -recruiting territory
ir ccludes Texas, Louisiana,
promising and does well on a
test similar to the graduate
record exam, lie fills out, a
lengthy application, goes to
Washington, D.C. for further
screening, and undergoes a
thorough security check.
"The entire process may take
between four and six months,"
Wood said.
The number of people.
employed by the CIA is
classified, but Wood
characterized it as one of the
"smaller" governmcnt
agenci.es.-
Most of them work at CIA
headquarters in Washington, ho
added.
Wood points out with pride
that the CIA has the lowest
turnover rate of any
government agency, attributing
this to the "esprit do corps"
that exists among staff
members.
Himself a. career CIA man,
Wood joined the agency in early
1950's, not long after it was
created under the National
Security Act of 1947.
The University of Texas
graduate said he specialized in
Russian studies befor?
becoming a recruiter in 1965.
"The CIA is' a unique place in
which to work, he said. "For an
understanding of the total
dimensions of - a foreign
problem, there is no other plac
to get it."

5 JULY 19 22
By George Conk
. The Nixon adininistration suffered an important setback last
week in its ongoing efforts to curtail the democratic rights of the
American people.
At issue was nothing less than the ?lth Amendment to the U.S.
Constitution and the U.S. supreme court, for reasons of its own,
rallied to its defense in an 8-0 decision outlawing government
wiretapping of "domestic subversives" without obtaining a warrant
beforehand.
The Justice Department, under the leadership of Nixon's chief
crony, former Attorney General John Mitchell, first disclosed its
wiretapping policy in the .1969 pre-trial hearing., of the Chicago 8,
under indictinent for their role in the 1908 demonstrations at the
Democratic national convention,
The. practice of wiretapping, however, started much earlier, it
appears to have begun during the Roosevelt administration in the
1930s, bloomed under Truman's reign, run rampant in the
Eisenhower-McCarthy period and continued right to the present.
The rebuke to Nixon's current policy stemmed from the case of
"Pun" Planiondon and two other members of the White Panther
party, n "cultural revolutionary" youth group centered in Michigan.
The court. declared the warrantless wiretaps used by - the
prosecution in the case unconstitutional and ordered the justice
Departrii'nt to turn over its logs of Planiondon's conversations to
his defense attorneys or to drop the charges. (Tile three activists
were charged with dynamiting a CIA office in Ann Arbor,
,jMichigan.)
For its part, the government sought to avoid disclosure and to
establish the legality of the taps through an affidavit from Mitchell.
The government admitted to the court that the taps vvere "not all
attempt to gather evidence for specific criminal prosecutions," but
.,an ongoing' intelligence gathering" effort against "subversive
forces,"
Tapping will go on
According to government statistics, such taps can remain in use
for months, many times longer than the usual duration of court-
ordered taps. It would also be a mistake to believe that, with the
court decision, such taps will stop. They will not, it is only their use
as evidence in court that will be curtailed.
In handing down the decision, Nixon appointee Justice Lewis F.
Powell, Jr., joined by five others, developed further the Warren
court's extension of the 4th Amendment in the area of electronic
surveillance. In 1967 the court field that taps and bugs were
"searches" and in 1968 required the disclosure of records of such
surveillance to its victims.
Former Deputy Attorney General, Justice Byron White,. in a
separate opinion, found the wiretapping in violation of the 1968
Omnibus Crime Act and did not pass on the 4th Amendment issue.
Justice William O. Douglas, while, joining the majority opinion,
went significantly beyond it in a concurring opinion. Justice
William If Rehnquist, the right-wing former Deputy Attorney
General, took no part in the decision, presumably because of his
role in the planning and implementation of the now-rejected policy.
The rebuke to the executive branch was clear. The ad-
ministration failed to garter a single vote on the court. Pow-ell's
in tile '1968 Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act which
disclaimed any congressional intention to "limit the constitutional
power of the President (\) protect the nation against hostile foreign
powers or any clear and present danger to the structure or existence
of the government."
The Nixon administration seized upon this language as,
congressional approval of its claim 01' broad sua\rillan4e powers.
But the congressional debates, as the I'o\\ ell opinion makes clear.
showed simply a desire to avoid a direct clash with the extends e b\
pushing the decision into the laps of the judiciary.
Bold claims
The Justice Department was extraordinarily bold in its claims of
wiretapping pow'er. Its affidavit alleged no "clear and present
danger," no use of force or unlawful means by thost'.t ein sur-
veilled, no links with "hostile foreign powers." no attempt to
overthrow the government, no specific criminal insestieations.
It simply spoke of "gatlierin,g intelligence deemed necessary to
protect the nation from attempts cif domestic organizations to
attack and subvert the existing structure of government. ..." A
request for carte-blanche surveillance of radicals. at the least.
The prosecution based its claim on the "inherent power" of the
President, The Sixth Circuit C'ourl of Appeals found in the
.government's legal argument "no suggestion of limitations on this
power nor any recognition that the sovereign power of this nation is
distributed among three branches of government,"
The key to this progressive decision--by a court w hich has been
moving steadily to the right when dealing with other basic
freedoms--perhaps lies here. The presidential claim of un-
trammeled power has prompted a convergence of those forces
concerned about the waning power of Congress with the judiciary's
desire to guard its "integrity
The supreme court took offense at "tile government's ar?gutnent
that internal security matters are too subtle and too complex for
judicial evaluation," "Courts regularly deal with the most difficult
issues of our society," wrote Powell.
Douglas, noting, the threats to popular political freedom posed by
police informers, grand juries, the FBI and the military would h,an
virtually all wiretapping and bugging. He suggested that since a'
wiretap warrant could not "specifically name the conversations to
be seized," any such authorization "would amount to a general
warrant, the very abuse condemned by the -lilt Amendment,''
Unanswered questions'
The court left many questions open. It did not deal with whether
the procedures for obtaining a federal wiretapping warrant set forth
in the 1968 Act are adequate to the 4111 Aniendnret[t. U.S.
judge
Joseph Lord in Philadelphia has recently held them too lax.
It did not express any opinion "with respect to the activities of
foreign powers or their agents." The message was not lost on the
Justice Department; which has stated it will not disconnect its
"foreign security" taps. . .
Not only are the congressional requirements quite loose, but the
"foreign agent" loophole could be a barn door, as history, hotly
recent and not so recent, has demonstrated.
This was the most important victory since the supreme court
allowed the publication of the Pentagon papers, but it is not an area

just how valid are the charges against the Central .lntelligence A elncy? ttri a%
guaraontees do Americans have that it is under fight..contr'ol? A point-by-point de-
fense of fhc~'or anization comes f roan a man who served in top posts for .1 yearfs.
Following is on analysis of intelligence operations
..by Lyman G. Kirkpatrick, Jr., former executive direc-
for-comptroller of. the Central Intelligence Agency:
The Central Intelligence Agency was created by the Na-
tional Security Act of 1.917 as an independent agency in the
executive branch of the United Slates Government, report-
ing to the President. Ever since that date it has been sub-
jected to criticism both at home and abroad: for what it has
allegedly clone as well as for what it'has failed to do.
Our most cherished freedoms are those of speech and the
press and the right to. protest. It is not only a right, but an
- obligation of citizenship to be critical of our institutions, and
no organization can be inmiutic from scrutiny. It is necessary
that criticism be responsible, objective and constructive.
It should be recognized that as Americans we have an
inherent mistrust of anything secret: The unknown is always
a worry. We distrust the powerful. A secret organization de-
scribed as powerful must appear as most dangerous of all.
It was my responsibility for my last 1.2 years with the CIA
-first as inspector general, then as executive director-
comptroller-to insure that all responsible criticisms of the
CIA were properly and thoroughly examined and, when
'required, remedial action taken. I am confident this practice
has been followed by my successors, not because of any
direct knowledge, but because the present Director of Cen-
tral Intelligence was my respected friend and colleague for
more than two decades, and this is how he operates.
It is with this as background that I comment on the cur-
'rent allegations, none of which are original with this critic but
any of which should be of concern to any American citizen.
CIA and the intelligence System Is Too Fig
This raises the questions of how much we are willing to
pay for national security, and how much is enough.
First, what are the responsibilities of the CIA and the
other intelligence organizations of our Government? '
Very briefly, the intelligence system is charged. with in-
suring that the United States learns as far in advance as pos-
sible of any potential threats to our national intei:ests. A
moment's contemplation will put in perspective what this ac-
tually ene.ans. 1 1 can range all the way from Russian missiles
pointed at North America to threats to U. S. ships or bases,
to expropriation of American properties, to dangers to awry
one of our allies whom we are pledged by treaty to protect:
It is the interface of world competition between superior
powers. Few are those who have served in the intelligence
system who have not wished that there could be some limita-
tion of responsibilities'or some lessening of encyclopedic re-
quirements about the world. It is also safe to suggest that our
senior policy,makers undoubtedly wish that their span of
required information could be less and that not every dis-
turbance in every part of the world carne into their purview.

tions, the IT. S. is expected to exert its leadership to help
solve the dispute. It does mean that we will resist subversion
against small, new nations. Thus the demand by U. S. policy
makers that they be kept informed.)
What this means for our intelligence system is world-
wide coverage.

istration in Washington that has not been actively concerned`

Mr. Cohen teaches philosophy at the University of illichiian,
Anri Arbor. He is the author of-two books soon to be pub-.
iished: Democracy (University of Georgia' Press) and Civil
Disobedience (Cohimbia University Press).
Secret, electronic surveillance of private ,cttlzens, by gov-
IC
ernment agencies, is a serious loves on ?p;E;privacy, and
does irremediable damlge to the Idecen q of our civic
life. l"low can it be stopped? One legal weapon against it,
Which 'can have important effect, is the refusal of the
courts to use or to receive' evidence in this tin-
savory Way. Over the retention and strengthening of that
weapon legal battle now rages.
Some bachgroiirid. first. The Fourth Amendment of
the U.S. Constitution lays it down that:
The right, of- the people to be secure in their persons,
houses. papc'rs, and effects, against unreasonable searches
and seizures, shalt not be violated, and no Warrants
shall issue, but upon. probable cause, supported by Oath
of. aftirmat?ion, and particularly describing the place to
be'searched, and. the persons or things to be seized.
Oil-this basis it is a long-standing principle of our courts
that the government may notbuild its case against a
iJefendant in a criminal action upon evidence obtained
by unconstitutional methods. Even where that evidence,
were it to be accepted, might clearly establish guilt, it
must not be accepted, or even heard, because permitting
any use of, it is direct encouragement to law enforcers
to gather such evidence in future cases. In applying this
irilportant exclusionary principle to search by wire tap,
'the U.S. Supreme Court also held in, 1969 (Alderman
v. United States) that the government illust disclose to
a defendant any record of conversations he participated
in, or which occurred on his premises, which the govern-
ment acquired by means of any illegal electronic surveil-
lance. (The practical importance of this ruling appears.
in the current Planiondon case, cited below:)
But when is electronic surveillance legal and when
illegal? The Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act
of 1968, far less restrictive in this regard than it ought
to be, does lay down strict conditions within which elec-
tronic, surveillance may be carried out. Probable cause to
believe that criminal activity is in progress must be sworn
to before surveillance is undertaken, and a duly constituted
court, or magistrate must authorize specific surveillance
and issue a warrant therefor. Unauthorized electronic
surveillance by government officials is a serious cringe.
But the. Act also provides, unhappily, for exceptions to
its own restrictions. By its own words the Act? does not
limit the constitutional poster of the President to take
such measures as he' deems necessary to protect the
Nation against actual or potential attack or other-hostile
acts of a foreign power, or to obtain foreign intelligence
Information deemed essential to the security of the,
United States, or to protect national, security informa-
tion* against foreign intelligence activities. Nor shall
anything contained in this chapter be deemed to limit, the
constitutional power of the President to take such meas-
ures as he deems neccsst?ry to protect the' United States
against the. overthroww of 'tile Government by force or
other unlawful means, or a ainst any. other clear and
present danger to the. stru ture or existence of the
Government... .
.Through this hole in' the,~dike the Attorney General
of the United States and Ms subordinates have surged,
and the federal courts Iiow 'dace the difficult problem of
restraining the zeal of law enforcers eager to tap the wires
of anyone who night, by their lights, be deemed a threat.
to "national security." The' threat, more deeply under-
stood, is from the government---and the privacy of citizens
The rub lies here. Wlia decides what is necessary
for "national. security"? The, President, acting through
the Attorney General, is authbrized to conduct electronic
surveillance without judicial warrant to pl'otect the nation
against the hostile acts oT foreign powers. That is itself
worrisome. But is the exception to be enlarged? Is wire
tapping to be permitted, and its results received by the
courts, in matters of alleged internal security? ?
The issue is not only theoretical. A case now before
the U.S. District Court, Eastern .District of~ Michigan;,
presents the practical p'roblcm starkly. The defendants are
charged with conspiring to injure .government property,'
and one of them, Lawrence "Pun" Planiondon, is charged
With the actual bombing of a CIA of7ice building in Ant:
Arbor. The trial is about to begin. Electronic surveillance
of Mr. Plamondon's conversation"s has. been conducted
by the government, undertaken "inittedly without tile'
judicial authorization that the law requires. The sealed
logs of these wire taps have been delivered to the court,
and with them an at iclavit from the Attorney General.
This affidavit does not assert that''at the tirlie these wire
taps were installed, law-enforcement .rgents had probable
.cause to believe that criminal activity 'was actually being
plotted. (If such probable cause could have'been shown
--=-that, for example, the illegal o.verthrow of the govern-'
ment by violence was being planned-a proper warrant
could surely have been obtained.) The affidavit argues,
badly, that the Attorney General, as agent of the Presi-
dent, may by himself authorize electronic surveillance of
"attempts of domestic organizations to attack and subvert
the existing structure of the government." Therefore, he
concludes, wire tapping iii this case, although without
judicial warrant or control, is yet legal.
It is to the enduring credit of the U.S. District Court,
in the person of Judge Damon J. Keith, that this argument
by?the go~erninerit has been flatly rejected. Keith's force-
ful amid distinguished opinion, handed down on January
25, affirms thc`constitutioaal right of citizens to be protect-

The ruling, the clepr.i'trleut
'said yesterday, "could result in

distinction between the I 'lumon-

right to eavesdrop against for-
eign subversives even without

Atty. Gell. John N.'n Mitchell will ask for a federal appeals
court this week to rule that he alone may decide ide when to eaves-
drop secretely on "donlesti.c subversives."
That authority, which would put a glowing use of hidden Es-
tolling devices beyond any court review, has been Wed invalid
twice and upll ld twice by lower federal courts.
Mitchell is the first attorney
general to claim that, in cases
involving "violent disorders" in,
this country, lie need not possess
a court order before authorizing
wiretapping or eavesdropping.
his decision to take that ques-
tion to the 6th U.S. Court of
Appeals in Cincinnati follows a
ruling against hint on Tuesday
by U.S. District Judge Damon
Keith in Detroit.
Keith's decision followed al-
most exactly the reasoning that
a federal judge in Los Angeles
used Jail: 11 in the first ruling
rejecting the attorney general's
positioli,
Secret Legs At Static
If Mitchel had not planned an
appeal from Keith's decision, he
either would have had to dis-
close today the *secret logs of
overheard ' conversations of. a
elan charged with a bombing
.conspiracy or drop the charges.
After-Judge Keith was notified
that an appeal would be filed, he
postponed the scheduled opening
of the bombing trial until Feb. D.
In addition, h ; saaIcl he would
"assist the government, in ob-
taining ... reivevw" of his deci-
sion by the Appeals Court be-
'causo it involved "an important
issue of first impress.ion," He
did not explain what l o would do
to help.
It now seems likely that this
test, case will be the first to take
the issue of homcfront caves-
dropping to the Supreme Court
for an ultimate ruling.
One of the lower court deer,
sions which upheld I,litchell's
authority is already before the
7th U.S. Court of Appeals in Chi-
cago, but that is in the famous
Chicago Seven conspiracy case
--- all appeal that probably grill
not be decided for many months.
The Chicago case was the first
one in which Mitchell had
claimed that the "inherent pows^-
ers" of the president to protect
the country could be delegated
to Mitchell as the sole authority
needed to justify eavesdropping
on individuals or groups in-
volved in 'domestic subver-
sion,"
Mitchell and his aides worked
out that constitutional theory
after being in office about five
111o11ths, and they asked U.S.
District Judge Julius J. Roffman
to-uphold it, in June 1969.
No Appeal Filed
On Feb. 21, after to conspira-
ey trial was over, Hoffman
agreed with Mitchell's argument
and ruled that avesdrop logs on
some of those accused in the
conspiracy case iced not be
turned over to them.
On Sept. 1, U.S. District Judge
Arthur J. Stanley of Kansas City
similarly ruled in Mitchell's f~-.

'Unlike the ruling of Jan. 12
by.Judge warren J. Ferguson in
Los Angeles, in which the Cov-
ernmeut oval given 30 days to
appeal, :Judge Keith's decision
today` said that the wiretap
evidence must be turned over
immediately to the defense at-
t,orneys.
48 Hours to Decide
But Judge Keith did give the
Government X18 hours to decide
on .what to do after Ralph B.
Guy Jr., the United States At-
torney for the Eastern District,
told the court that only Attor-
ney General John N. Mitchell
could make the decision be-
cause matters of national secur-
ity were involved. Mr. Guy said
that he was unable to reach tiro
Attorney General this after-
71oon.
According to Mr. Guy, the
Government can decide to drop
the case, it can make'tha Nvire-
taps available to the defense or
it"can appeal the judge's cleci-
sion to the Supreme Court.
Mr; Guy said in an interview
that, if the decision stood, it
could make it impossible for the
Government to gather wiretap
evidence on domestic groups
without a court.-order. Attorney
General Mitchell has maintained
that this power was granted Al,

said: "An idea which seems to
permeate much of the Govern-
ment's argument is that a dis-
sident domestic organization is
akin to an unfriendly foreign
power' that must be dealt with
in,the same fashion.
"There is a great danger_in
aIi argument of this nature, for
it strikes at the very cunstitu-
tional privileges and imnutni-.
ties that are inherent in United
States citizenship."
.The judge held' that the'
Goveriuncnt was in error when
it contended that "attempts of
domestic organizations to at-
tack and subvert the existing
structiu?e of government" were
a crime.
'Judge Keith denied a second
motion in which the defense
asked that young people be-
tween 18 and 21 should he able
to serve on juries. The defense
contended that radicals such'as
the three defendants could not
get a fair trial from juries
made up of people over 30 be-
cause the jurors would take
out their hatred of the youth
culture on the defendants. ..
-The Supreme Court ruled re-
cently that 18-year-olds bava

the nameless assistant director.
"])car -Sir:
I write a hutilan-interest column for
The Evening News of Newark, N.J. I am
interestc'.d in writing a piece about the CIA
operation in the New York metropolitan
area. -
This is not a put-on. I fully realize that
the nature of my work is inimical to your.
work. lint I suspect that there is some in-
formation about t 1w, CI;:'s activities out of
the New York office that can-be published
without harm to national security. There
may, in fact, he soup' infornmlatioil that, if
printed, would be lieu fail to you. i do not
know what facts are available to me, and
this is why I am writing to you. Please
After I mailed the letter..1 convinced
myself that my missive would be filed,
Inicrofilined, and cross-indexed. If the CIA,
hears my name again, I thought, they will
retrieve this letter and know for sure that
I am dangerous and must be watched.
Yesterday, there was a large.' brown en-
velope in my mailbox. Enclosed were two
reprints of articles clone about the CIA.
Both were extremely unrevealing and, no
doubt, this quality earned thorn the CIA.
imprhriatur. 'There also was a brochure
entitled, "'Intelligence Professions," that is
probably used by the CIA's college recruit-
ers. And there was a blue pamphlet,
which contained the CIA's statutory au-
thorization and some generous compli-
ments from our Presicirut.
Letter Froin"Director's Aide
With the enclosures was a letter from
Joseph C. Goodwin, the previously anony-
mous assistant to the director.
"Dear Mr. Cicetti:
I am enclosing some material which,

graph on "Policy on Public Disclosures" on

Eleven years ago 'C, P. (now Lord)
Snow caused a stir in intellectual
circles by his perceptive analysis of
the widening gulf between scientists
and humanists in modern society. To-
day that rift still exists and it is
related to a greater and more serious
social phenomenon, the growing cleav-
age between the university world and
the Government.

Meanwhile, the President-asks Conn.
gross to authorize the Federal Govern-
ment to take the initiative in dealing
with carrlpus violence. Marc than half
of the state legislatures have already
enacted laws to curb disorders within
the colleges and universities. Univer-
sity administrators are exhorted to
deal more firmly and decisively with
campus disruptions.
In Illy judgment it is wrong to'con-
clude that the root of the ill-feeling
lies merely in the hostility of the aca-
demic community to Vietnam. The
basic source is a Sim] 'p disagreement
over the primary function and respon-
sibility of a university in a time of
social upheaval.
Legislators and Government officials
fully appreciate the importance -ofour
colleges and universities. They are
prepared to spend much public money.
on education. In Washington, the bil
lions appropriated annually to support
research, student aid and the creation
of new academic facilities reflect a
similar commitment. In return, the
lawmakers-?and the general public--,
expect the colleges and universities
to supply a flow of men and women
who have been trained to cope with
these expanding needs. They expect
these graduates to be responsible
citizens. Understandably, they are out-
raged when 'such a huge investment
seems to be producing a crop of mal-

Many academics simply cio not hold
this view. Tb them, University auton-
'only is basic. All outside interference
is viewed as a threat to academic
freedom, which in this context means
the right to criticize Government
whenever a scholar is moved to do so.
Just as student 'iadicals have seized
the spotlight by their rioting, so the
more radical faculty members often
are regarded by the public as speak-
ing for the academic community.
Why, then, do the nonradical profes-
sors, who constitute the majority of
the senior men on any canlpu.s, allow
a small, shrill group of colleagues to
hold the limelight? Partly, it is be-
cause they are stilt prisoners of the
long academic. tradition of liberalism,
Few faculty members like to think of
themselves as conservatives.
Somehow, because our universities
and our Government are ever more
interdependent, campus rifts between
radicals and conservatives and be-
tween the humanities and the sciences
must be diminished. Interference by
public authorities in university affairs
ought to be limited to support for
the academic authorities in their ef-
forts to free the campus from disorder.
Our universities are too inportant to
be allowed to suffer from the activi-
ties of a small group of men "who
seek to distort the spirit of a unive.r'-
sity and who, in their mistaken 'ef-
forts, have been allowed to benefit
from the healthy tradition of academic
tolerance.
