the State Department.... It is quite intolerable that the CIA should be
allowed to get away unreproved with the performance it has just turned

The CIA :operatives who' ..hold the:con-

falling behind rather than catching up 'With.'.1.

said, and that isn't 'all. Agricultural 4produc-
*;:tion figures for .1963 are. 10 per cent' below.
those of 1953. .- .
These figures are- so disparaging of the
Soviet economic performance that a number .
:or nongovernrnent specialists, mostly Kok's-4.:
sors at United. States universities,. have, ex-',..
pressed their skepticism. in', such . phrases as
"it's fantastic" and .."I, just can't believe, it!.'

. one supposition is that the agency is
tired of being known only for its mistakes

by a CIA spokesman, who said Presid.entJohn-

1I1A1".111,E Central Intelligence Agency is net,
? ? as thought, wholly disdainful of the people, is
seen in a curious bit of lore dished out as news
ast week.
? As everybody knows. CIA is a spy outfit swollen
to thousands .of operatives and evaluators, who
have functioned a mite this side ?
' or brilliant in the international ?
? maze of the past decade. '
Ordinarily these folk are '
.? ; Moles, concealing identity and ac-
lion behind a pious shield of na-
tional security, and wouldn't give
a Congress or even a President
.? the time of clay.
. But their computers ?have
been buzzing like angry bees this winter, and have
come up with a stunning notion, to wit,' that the ;
annual rate of economic growth of the Soviet Union .
.. has fallen in 1962-63 from a buoyant 6-10 per cent .
to a sickly 21,4.: per cent, below the American rate. ,
* * *? .
. .
. . . ,
TN THE DOMAIN of economic fetish worship thii;, :.
.?
? -'? .is hot stuff?if true. ? ..
? But its aceuracy is somewhat tarnished by
? :
CIA's blend of arca.na and bumbling, hardly en-
deacing it. to. the 1.90 million dummies, who also hap- ..
pen to be rich. This manifestly accounts for the
iipeO to chanL;e 1.1-,e image, with CIA playing Great-.
1,-,;.;;1 in the new, jungles. ? ,
Nobody is forgetting the image offered by CIA
. .
in Cuba, where Fidel Castro could be knocked ovei%,
with a feather, hence the Bay of Pigs. Nor that CIA.
, was doodling in phone booths when the Diem-N1u i
:nob was cleaned out in Saigon, and was surprised t
:Is hell. Nor, farther back, the U-2 affair, a dazzling. : h
CIA,, feat which made an involuntary liar;?of, the''
, President'or. the Urtitc4 States;,,,,',?:?;-'.,'-???;?"1.;.?'i; .
- .
It ,would be stratitze if the and other ?brum--;
magems did not cast doubt on the CIA estimate. or, ,
the . a ' of the, Soviet economy.' ?
TT DM NOT, hovtever, require a dubious CIA
-1- guess-record to 'set off several eminent non4.,;..,
government economists.
Prof. Nicholas Spulber, City University, New ,
. .;?
York: "I just can't believe it." (the CIA figure). He"
would accept 4 per cent. Prof. Warren Eason, Syra.-4
ruse University: "Low. I would want: to look at it :
long and ?hard." Prof. Robert Campbell, Indiana.
'yard
"Fantastic." Levine and Bergson of Har-
vard, were "surprised," but thought it possible.
These and other professors, c"xperts in the- So-
viet economy, based their reactions, on their own
studies, and .on the unlikelihood of such a sharp
drop in two years. Everybody, .including Rhru-
crops. ? ' ?
IthelleV, concedes tome decline, due in part to poet.

William Hogan 18 and 19 dune on Wise and Boss' "Invisible Government":

The authors are two respected, hard--

'describe includes the Central Intelligence,

Combined, these groups .annually spend
