Haig. had taken advantage of President '4
Reagan's general ipproach by seeking to
assert his pre-eminence over a broad
range of foreign policy issues, including
somethat had fallen in the past under the
'jurisdiction of other agencies like the
Treasury and Defense Departments.- As
one White House official said, "Haig's
=vi eve initially was that everything beyond
the water's edge was foreign policy." ? -
Rather than immediately approving
the initial Haig-Allen formulation,, the
White House asked for the views of other
agencies. Mr. Haig met with Defense Sec-
retary Caspar W. Veinberger to work out
a new proposal that gave the clear lead to
the Pentagon on defense policy issues and
to the State Deparanent on foreign policy
matters.- That -prroosal was eventually
accepted two wee.as ago and became the
basis for the final organization.

lyASHINGTON ( FNS ) ? Spring came ear-
ly to the White House at the Reagans'
first official dinner, where the President
honored his political alma mater ? the
governors. Two ficus trees with multicolor tulips at
the base welcomed guests onto the dance floor. Ear-
lier, the Reagans greeted guests in the Red Room,
filled with red tulips.
In short, the governors of the two biggest
states, Hugh Carey of New York and Jerry Brown
of California, who decided to skip the show, missed
a great party.
Guests dined on supreme of fresh cold salmon
with sauce verte and cheese twists, broiled cha-
teaubriand bernaise, almond croquettes, tomatoes
florentine, mixed garden salad, Bel Paese cheese
with fresh pineapple en surprise and petit fours for
dessert. Wines included Dry Creek dry chenin
blanc, Louis Martini cabernet sauvignon 1974 and
Chandon extra dry Champagne.
The big topic of conversation was not Rea-

gan's economic program but the bowdlerized ver-
sion of "A Chorus Line" Joe Papp put together for
the group. "I missed 'T and A,' "said Kacie McCoy.,
referring to one of the racier songs that was
dropped. "I didn't think it would be appropriate for
the White House," explained producer Papp. But
not all the guests agreed. "It really was a sanitized
version. Especially when the one dancer said 'Oh
Shoot,' "said Carolyn Deaver. "But I was intrigued
to see how the dancers all succeeded in jumping be-
tween the chandeliers."
The other hot topic among the wives was the
coming marriage of Prince Charles. "Everyone
loves a good romance," said Sharon Rockefeller,
wife of the West Virginia governor. Jean Ariyoshi,
wife of the governor of Hawaii, agreed. "I think it's
marvelous," she said.
Meanwhile, governors were busy running up
to chat with Nancy Reagan, who looked super in a
veteran Bill Blass brown chiffon dress and a three-
strand pearl necklace, pearl bracelet and pearl and
diamond earrings. "We talked about them coming
over to Wexford to visit but nothing definite was de-
cided," said Texas Gov. Bill Clements, referring to
his Middleburg, Va., farm, which the Reagans rent-
ed before winning the election.
Also ? ying for Nancy's attention was India-
na Cov. Robert Orr, who was delivering
greerings from a state security guard back
home. "The Reagans stayed at the gover-
nor's house last summer and one guard who went
out to get Nancy Reagan some Rolaids wanted me
to say hello to her," Orr told the President. To
which Reagan replied, "Tell him Nancy's husband
also says hello.' '

Reagan orders new curbs
NEW YORK (FNS) ? Revlon, Inc., reported Wednesday a 21
percent increase in earnings for the fourth quarter ended Dec. 3 and a
23.9 percent gain for the year.
In the quarter, the company had net income of $54,781,000, or
$1.34 a share, compared with $45,277,000, or $1.28. Sales were up 26.5
percent to $638,830,000, against $504,951,000.
Earnings for the year reached $192,407,000, or $4.87 a share, com-
pared with $155,335,000, or $4.39. Sales went up by 26.5 percent, totaling
$2,203,324,000, against $1,741,763,000.
Currency losses in the fourth quarter were $700,000, compared
with a loss of $600,000.
For the year, Revlon said foreign currency losses were about $5,-
400,000, compared with losses of $6,400,000.
Sales and earnings of Technicon Corp., acquired in a purchase
last year, are included in the 1980 results after May 2, Revlon reported.
Revlon increased its domestic market share in cosmetics by one
percentage point to about 20 percent, according to Michel Bergerac,
chairman and chief executive officer.
Revlon's international beauty business reported strong sales in-
creases, Bergerac said, although margin pressure was experienced in
some overseas markets because of difficult economic climates.

II), II ICHARD iGirrmAN
WASHINGTON ( FNS ? The Reagan
administration has ordered fresh curbs on a
range of Chinese apparel imports following a
sudden and potentially disruptive surge in
shipments of products not already covered by
specific import quotas.
But the move was promptly assailed
Wednesday as being "too little and too late"
by U.S. manufacturers, who charged imports
from China are skyrocketing on a broad front.
They urged a far more extensive crackdown.
The order, which went into effect Tues-
day, applies to men's and boys' cotton coats
( category 334); women's and girls' cotton
coats (category 335), and men's and boys' cot-
ton knit shirts ( category 338.)
In each of these product areas, China
has become a leading U.S. supplier, with
spectacular growth in shipments registered
during recent months, officials reported.
As a result of the administration's di-
rective, which is provided for under the terms
of the Sino-American textile-apparel
agreement, strict limitations are imposed on
clearance of these three items for the next 90
days, during which time attempts will be
made to negotiate mutually acceptable quota
levels.
The action by the Commerce Depart-
ment follows a similar crackdown ordered
last fall on all types of Chinese wool sweaters.
When subsequent negotiations proved fruit-
less, importers scrambled to get their mer-
chandise into the country, with the result that
an outright embargo on the sweaters went
into effect earlier this year.
Paul O'Day, the acting undersecretary
of commerce who heads the agency's textile
programs, reported Wednesday the Chinese
are giving "clear indications" they are ready
to retuni to the bargaining table.
() Day said the U.S. government,
through it:, embassy in Peking, has been in
touch w.th the Chinese and talks may get un-
der wa,), within the next two or three weeks.
O'Day iso reported China is willing to dis-
cuss not only the three items now threatened
by embargo, but also the wool sweater issue.
O'Day made his report ata meeting of
the Importer's and Retailers' Textile Advi-
sory Committee and his announcement pro-
voked angry charges that the retail industry
finds it "very difficult" to do business faced
with the constant threat of embargoed mer-
chandise. One delegate noted more than 30
U.S.-imposed embargoes hampered trade
last year, creating an environment of doubt
and confusion in the industry.
Meanwhile, Tuesday's order affecting
Chinese exports had the immediate impact of
reining shipments during the negotiating pe-
riod.
In the next 90 days, imports of men's
and boys cotton coats will be limited to 45,772
dozen; imports of women's and girls' cotton
coats will be limited to 64,250 dozen; while im-
port of men's and boys' cotton shirts will be
limited to 145,981 dozen.
The latest available data show total
shipments in the current quota year for the
three categories, respectively, were, 130,634
dozen; 183,571 dozen; and 417,088 dozen.
Under the complicated mechanism of
the bilateral pact, the Chinese -- failing a mu-
tually agreed quota level ? would be allowed
to ship in the succeeding 12 months, respec-
tively, 148,694 dozen; 201,956 dozen; and 482,-
124 dozen.
Above that level, and if a bilateral deal
fails to materialize, the axe automatically
falls and the embargo goes into effect.

Carolina Underwear wins round in Iris suit
NEW YORK ( FNS) ?Caro-
lina Underwear Co., manufactur-
er of children's sleepwear, may
proceed in arbitration with
Springs Mills over a contract in-
volving Tris-treated fabric.
State Supreme Court Jus-
tice Margaret Taylor denied
Springs' order to stay arbitration.
Between 1973 and 1976, Car-
olina bought a substantial invento-
ry of Springs' fabric, allegedly
treated with Tris. The companies
had a contract with a clause stat-
ing any controversy arising from
sale of goods could be settled by
arbitration. Carolina charged the
Tris-treated fabric breached the
contract, and the company had
sustained damages totaling
$485,000.
Carolina demanded arbitra-
tion in April. Springs claimed the
demand was barred by a statute
of limitations and that notice was
not given in time. "Springs' argu-
ment that the respondent is bar-
red because notice was not given
within a reasonable time does not
strengthen Springs' defense,"
Taylor said.

Simpson-Sears,sees
earnings off for '81
TORONTO ( FNS ) -- Simp-
son-Sears, Ltd., will report a sales
gain of more than 12 percent for
the year ended Feb. 4, but lower
earnings than those posted in fis-
cal 1980, John D. Taylor, presi-
dent, said.
In the 52 weeks ended Jan.
30, 1980, the 50 percent-owned af-
filiate of Sears, Roebuck & Co.
earned a record $67,900,000 C -
nadian, or 85 cents a share. on
sales of $2,620,000,000. Fiscal ; 981
included 53 weeks.
Taylor did not specify how
much profits fell in the latest
year. But he said because of a
"great" Christmas season, the
full year's decline was not as se
vere as the first nine months when
? the company's earnings dropped
38 percent to $19,100,000, or 22
cents, from $30,700,000, or 4(1

Ted Bodin, Kattan
buy Tropical Knitting
NEW YORK ? Ted Bodin,
founder of Bodin Apparel, has
bought Tropical Knitting Mills, of
Hialeah, Fla., along with partner
Abraham Kattan.
The pair paid about $2 mil-
lion to purchase the mill from the
Development Corp. of America, a
Hollywood, Fla., firm. Bodin is se-
nior vice president and Kattan is
president.
Bodin, who was fired from
the company which bears his
name about 18 months ago, said
the new company does not make
apparel. He said he expects sales
at Tropical Knitting Mills to reach
$20 million this year, a $5 million
increase over 1980.
Bodin is still the largest
shareholder in Bodin Apparel with
about 35 percent of the stock. The
financially strapped company has
suspended manufacturing opera-
tions while it sells its plants and
equipment.

Ronald Reagan Woos the Heads of 5tates

2"If - the bombs fell in this room,"
President Ronald Reagan said to
America's governors at the White
House last night, "it Would certainly -
be a strain on the country." iWeak
laughter. . ,
The president was playing host and.
earnest suitor 'on a stage in the East
Room, and from the looks of things,
he gently won over some of the gov-
ernors. In the candle-lit White House
the.t:Chandon Extra Dry bubbled

"I don't think 'this changes any-
body's mind on specific issues," said
Gov.:- Bruce . Babbitt of Arizona,
I)emocrat, "but it's awfully important',
in the long run. r think it will pay'
back some dividends to the presi-
dent." -
But from a Republican, Virginia's
John N. Dalton: "The resolution we
passed backing his program had only
two dissents, which represents the'
strength of the feelings by the govern-
ors that he's on the right track."
The black-tie dinner was the flat-
tering windup to a two-day courtship
organized for the governors by thefl
president and: his advisers. "Between
president had said earlier
during his toast, "we are going to see
America solve its problems and have
the cooperation between you -- the
chief executives of the states = and
.the federal government that was cre-:

His remarks were ex-

_ _ _
Report from the new CIA
chief's statement to the
Senate Select Committee
on Intelligence at the re-
cent confirmation for him.
Apparently alluding to
hearings in the mid-70s on
alleged CIA shortcomings,
Casey said that while intel-
ligence agents cannot
receive public recognition
for particular tasks well
done, they rightfully ex-
pect the support of the
government they serve.
"All too often, their
'failures' are widely
publicized, but their suc-
cesses, by their very
nature, are hidden.",l.
Generally there is poor
public perception and 'un-
derstanding of the value of
the American intelligence
community to the security
of the Free World, Casey
stated.. The CIA in par-
ticular, he said, suffers
from self-doubt and this
needs .to be changed.

ments in the Cuba invasion

Rudd, in a statement in
the Congressional Record.
said U.S. intelligence -
gathering capability has
been "increasingly
threatened" by disclosure
of the identities of under-.
cover agents by "anti-
intelligence" publications.
Shortly after a disclosure
in Greece, Richard S.
Welch, station Chief for
CIA in Athens, was assas-
sinated. In another exam-
ple cited by Rudd, the
published identification in
1980 of 15 CIA agents in
Jamaica was followed by a
machinegun- attack on the
home of the 'agency chief.
The "Intelligence Agents
Protection Act" would
'prohibit disclosure of infor-
mation identifying 'an
agent to an unauthorized
person, with extremely
stringent penalties for
violation.

Soviet Nuclear Facilities in Vietnam?
Truong Nhn Tang, a high-ranking Vietnamese defector now
in Paris, says the Soviet Union is building piers and other facilities
to service nuclear submarines at a former U.S. supply base in
Vi etnam. Tang is a former justice m inis ter in Vietnam's Communist
regime. Pentagon sources maintain there is no evidence to support
his story, but foreign intelligence agents say they have been told
that U.S. satellite photos have confirmed Tang's report of nuclear
construction at Cam Ranh Bay. Such an installation would fa-
cilitate a Soviet presence in the Indian Ocean.
The Battle for the GSA Job
Nevada Sen. Paul Laxalt and CIA director William Casey
have used their clout in the Reagan Administration to reward
Gerald P. Carmen, the New Hampshire Republican leader who
engineered Ronald Reagan's primary victory in the Granite State
a year ago. Top White House aides battled for their own candidate
to head the scandal-plagued General Services Administration,
but Laxalt and Casey have apparently prevailed in their backing
of Carmen?even though the last business he ran was an auto-
supply store in Manchester, N.H.

NATIONAL AFFAIRS
The CIA's New. Super Spy
t is only 20 miles from Central Intel-
ligence Agency headquarters on the Po-
tomac River in Langley, Va., to National
Security Agency headquarters at Tort
Meade, Md. But at times the two seem -
light years apart?institutional rivals for -
prestige, power and money in the top-secret -
world of espionage. The CIA is far better
known, but the NSA, the code-breaking:
arm of the Pentagon, is an elite group that
frequently has more clout inside govern?
ment. The institutional rivalry is such - -
that at Fort Meade the CIA is re-
ferred to as "TBAR," shorthand for
"those bastards across the river.",:
Now, in a widely praised bureaucrat:, '
in shuffle, NSA boss Bobby Ray In-
man is moving across the river to
become the No. 2 man at the CIA.
Inman, 49, a superstar in the in:-
teLligence community, will team up
with CIA boss William J. Casey, 67,_
in an effort to restore power and mo-
rale to an agency that has suffered
from scandal and budget cuts in re-
cent years. Casey, who was Ronald
Reagan's campaign manager, will be
Mr. Outside, guaranteed a sympa-
thetic ear at the White House not.
only from President Reagan and Vice-
President Bush (a former CIA di-
rector) but from top aides Ed Meese,
Jim Baker and Michael Deaver, all
of whom worked for Casey during.
the campaign. Inman, who knows the
boss Stansfield Turner tried to wrest contrt
of NSA from the Pentagon. When Delete
Secretary Harold Brown learned of a lunc
between Turner and Attorney Genen
Griffin Bell to discuss the plan, Brown di
patched Inman in a helicopter to pick u.
Bell and give him a whirlwind tour of NSA.
No one was more surprised than Turner
when Bell showed up for the lunch at the
CIA helipad freshly persuaded by Inman
to leave things as they were. "He's a very

intelligence bureaucracy flu-
ently, will be Mr. Inside, run-
ning the CIA's daily oper-
ations. The two men are likely
to play complementary roles in
other ways, too. Casey will give
special attention to -human in-
telligence," drawing on his
own experience as an OSS spy:-
during World War IL Inman.-will concen-
trate on stre-Amlirling the agency's bureau-
cracy and maintaining cordial relations
with Congress. . .
Persuasive': Inman may well turn out
to be a key player in rebuilding the CIA,
which has gone through five directors
in eight years. A Texan from the small
town of Rhonesboro,90 miles from Dallas,
he has spent 28 years in the Navy, rising
to admiral--a rare accomplishment for
someone who did not attend Annapolis.
As NSA director, he was a tough-minded
administrator wNREEttitVrii9 Ritickue

persuasive man," says Bell.
e At first, Inman was not eager
to join the CIA; with two sons to put
through college, he planned to seek a high-
paying corporate job. But Casey promised
him a fourth star (making him one of the
youngest full admirals in history) and even
arranged a personal plea from the President
himself. Inman agreed to sign up, and at
his Senate confirmation hearings last week,
he won high praise. "If ever there was
unanimous consent and enthusiasm, this
is it," gushed Sen. Richard Lugar.
Like Casey, who reassured jittery CIA
employees last week that there would not

rienced analysts and agents at the CIA.

for the OSS veterans association," says onei
associate.
Tinkering: Casey and Inman also needi
to upgrade the CIA's ability to evaluate
information. The agency has consistently
underestimated Soviet strength and has.
i
sometimes failed to give early warning on
such major political upheavals as the Ira-
nian revolution. Casey will make greater
use of university consultants as analysts..
Also on the agenda: beefing up the CIA'si
counterintelligence unit, asking Congress.
for some relief from the Freedom of In-
formation Act and for a ban on publishing
the names of undercover agents. Much of.
this is tinkering, but the CIA will certainly
benefit from an increased budget, from hay- !
ing so many friends in high places?and 1
above all from the administrative abilities
of an old spy and the young admiral he 1
I
recruited from across the river.

sserting Rightward Course
The Ronald Reagan show, despite
some accommodations and legitimate
conservative beefs, is still something of
a joy to behold in these first few weeks.
Every day seems to bring forth a fresh
and sparkling5 surprise. There's the
retroactive hiring freeze, the immediate
deregulation of oil and the well-deserved
Sacking of our pro-radical ambassador
to El Salvador, Robert White (a vindi-
cation of Sen. Jesse Helms, by the way,
who Ted the fight against his confirma-
tion). - - .
Major tax .ancl- spending slashes,....
judging by the President's TV address, -
are-still-in the offing, while the defense
_budget is scheduled to boom_ Even the
grain- embargo?the first test as . to
-.whether the- President would put his
? pledge to the farmer over his duty to
stand up to the Soviets?is going to be
;retained.
Each dawn conservatives wake- up
and rub their .eyes in disbelief as the
- good news pops up on the pages of
their newspaper. The Washington Post
and the New York Times, those twin
pillars of the Liberal Establishment,
are actually forced to fill their pages?
if they Want to discuss the Reagan Ad-
ministration at all?with choice little
tidbits that make our pulse quicken
with pleasure. .
Even many of those Cabinet appoint-
ments we'were worrying about are per-
forming better than expected. Defense
_Secretary. Caspar -Weinberger talked
last week of increasing our presence in
the Indian Ocean, putting. "additional
carrier task forces" in other parts of
the world (a view that undoubtedly
pleases. our new hardline Navy secre-
tar)', John Lehman), and building the
weapon the Soviets thought they had
buried, the neutron bomb.
Secretary of Education Terrel Bell,
who helped create the department and I
? lovingly embraced bilingual education,
- seems to be developing into something
- of a turncoat so far as the National-
Edikation Association crowd is con-
cerned. He now says he's going to help
dismantle the education agency and set
off hallelujahs throughout the country I
when he terminated those mandatory
bilingual regulations.
? Conservatives were rightfully alarmed
when Donald Regan, who cast his com-
pany's PAC fortune before liberal
Democrats, wound up as Treasury sec-
retary, but Regan looks as if he has
been co-opted by the tax-cut advocates_
Two of the nation's key supply-side ar-
? chitects, Norman Ture and Paul Craig? ;
Roberts, have wound up in top Trea-
sury posts. "Treasury looks as if Jack
Kemp filled the slots," says one on- ,
looker, and, in a way, he did, since so '
many of those working for Regan--in-
eluding Roberts and Ture?were
recommended by Kemp and actually
developed the Kemp-Roth legislation.
Other Cabinet and Cabinet-level
members, Snch as Richard Schweiker
of Health and Human Services (he's
? reaching ,out to the Moral Majority),
David Stockman of OMB, James Watt
of Interior (he's still enraging the envi-
ronmental extremists) and William
Casey of the CIA are all saying. and do-
ing things that are pleasing tofans of
the President.? .

MAITLAND, Fla. ? The victims of
the "Halloween massacre" may soon ?
be vindicated. They were the old Can- ---
? tral Intelligence Agency hands sum;
manly dismissed by Admiral Stans-
field Turner in a large-scale purge on
Oct. 31, 1977, because he "preferred to ?h
get new young people, to promote
promotions and flowthrough." Most of
them were highly trained and experi-
enced intelligence officers of the senior
and middle levels; some were station
chiefs in London, Vienna, Bonn, Otta-
wa, and Latin America. It is said in
Washington that William 3. Casey, the
new Director of Central-Intelligence,
will bring back many of these former
"spooks" to rehabilitate the "plant."
? Severe criticism at the C.I.A.'s ef-
fectiveness has been leveled by friend
and foe. Some say that it-has failed to
forecast turmoil in the world's trouble
spots because it has relied heavily on
technology instead of using human
agents on the scene. Others complain
that shortages of electronic means,
spy satellites, and trained analysts are
responsible for faulty estimates. The
truth is somewhere In between. ?
More distressing is the often heard
charge that the White House has used
the Agency as a tool to justify predeter-
mined policy, rather than as a means of
providing policy makers with solid in-
formation as a basis for sound decision-
making. This charge, it tete, would be
contrary to Congress's intent in creat-
ing the C.I.A. The National Security
Act of 1947 directs the Agency to col-
lect, evaluate, and provide the policy
makers with processed intelligence.
The act also states that the C.I.A. will
perform such other Arnett= and
duties as the National Security Council
may direct. By Implication, the C.I.A.
has been directed by the Council to
conduct clandestine operations, pond-
cal and economic warfare, and "dirty
tricks." These are not intelligence ac-
tivities, but a dubious means of carry-
ing out nationalpolicy,
To prove this point, critics focus on
the Agency's role in restoring the Shah
of Iran to power in 1963, its support of
his secret police, the Savala and its
failure to accurately assess the situa-
tion in 1978-79 that led to the attack on
our embassy in Teheran. If the C.I.A.
had anything to do with these events, it
,was not performing an intelligence .
role but simply carrying out predeter-
mined national policy. '

Friend and foe also recall the Agen-
cy's shortcomings in 1961: the-Bay of
Pip fiasco, the failure to give ade-
quate warning of the construction of
the Berlin Wall, and the rift between
Syria and the United Arab Republic.
Our greatest failure since Pearl
Harbor, some say, involved the sur-
prise deployment of Soviet missiles in
Cuba. Despite aerial surveillance,
,ehey,went undetected for more than a
- year until mid-September 1962. Why?
A Senate committee concluded that
the C.I.A. had ignored reports from
Cuban refugees and exiles, considered
biased and unreliable, and that there
was a "predisposition of the intelli-
gence community to the philosophical
, coneiction that itew_quIdebe incompat-
ible with Soviet policy to introduce
? strategic missiles in Cuba."
? Evidently our intelligence chiefs
have lost sight of their responsibility to
produce timely and evaluated intelli-
gence,. Unquestionably these failures
existed long before Admiral Turner
took over the C.I.A. in March 1977, but
his infatuation with technology and
inexperience in intealigence operations
de-emphasized the trained field opera-
tive and the specialized analyst in
Washington in favor of more-glamor-
ous devices. His decision to eliminate
field operatives perpetuated the Agen-
cy's deficiency in determining intent.
Radar, satellites, and listening de-
Vices can and do produce hard infor-
mation, but they cannot tell us when or
why an action will be taken ? in other
words, the intent.
Jimmy Carter admitted In Novem-
ber 1978 that he had been "concerned
that the trend. . to get intelligence'
from electronic mean% might have been
overemphasized" and had asked his
? aides to improve methods for gathering
information on sensitive developments
abroad. This has not been done.
The C.I.A. seriously needs rehabili-
tation, especially in the area of valid
estimates. Nothing is more crucial in,
International affairs than the relation-
ship between intelligence and policy,
or, put differently, between knowledge
and action. Here is where the C.I.A.
has been weakest. Too often our deci-
sion-makers have not had the benefit
of adequate intelligence, skillfully syn-
thesized into valid estimates.
- One hopes that the Casey team will
return to the basic precepts of intelli-
gence ? the use of people to collect,
? analyze, and report information. Not
that technology should be abandoned;
rather, it should assist and augment
the field operative and analyst. Only
humans can Make value judgments
and forecast intent.

The Presidential Pals Toast to Tfitunph
By Mary Battiata
The Group," that small but social pride of Californians,
flew into' town last week to help their friend, President
Ronald Reagan, celebrate his 70th birthday. And the cele-,
brating didn't stop after Friday night's White House "sur-
prise" spectacular.
Before their dancing heels had a chance to cool, they
were off again, to a Saturday lunch at the Fairfax Hotel
hosted by Kansas City socialite and GOP fund-raiser Carol
Price and husband, Charles ? and then to a dinner at the
Watergate's Jean Louis restaurant given by two of the in- ,
augural impresarios, Charles and Mary Jane Wick. .
"After this weekend, we may almost be partied out ?
almost," said one of the crowd.
At the J.00n Louis, there were truffles, and tales, and
toasts to triumph. '
"If it weren't for the efforts of this group," the president
joked to the crowd of 48 during his toast, "I'd be making
? this speech before the Chamber of Commerce."
"These people have been with the president through
? thick and thin," said a more recent addition to the crowd.
"They, knew him when."
James Stewart serenaded his table with "Ragtime Cow-
boy Joe," and according to one guest announced that he
will soon be going on the road with an abridged version ofl
the play "Harvey."
. House Minority Leader Robert Michel (R-Ill.) got up
relaunched into "Old Man River," and then "Send In the
lown.s." "He looked a little sheepish at first. I don't think
was expecting to be asked to sing," said one guest.
The crowd included cabinet member William French
Smith and his wife, Jean, CIA Director William Casey, Al-
fred and Betsy Bloomingdale, inaugural co-chairman Rob-
ert Gray, and Walter and Leonore Annenberg and Virginia
and Holmes Tuttle. ..? ?-

What's sauce for the CIA isn't sauce
for the FBI.
Independent Agents
Although almost nobody noticed, the incoming Rea-
gan administration has just handed an important vic-
tory to the FBI, one its agents and high-ranking offi-
cials have wanted for nearly a decade. Several weeks
ago the Reagan staff announced that the new presi-
dent will not install his own FBI director, but will leave
the current director, William H. Webster, on the job.
Webster thus becomes virtually the only top-level Fed-
eral official appointed by President Carter who will
serve the Reagan administration. By allowing Webster
to continue in office, the Reagan people seem to have
established, once again, the principle that the FBI's
leadership does not change hands after presidential
elections. This principle was in doubt during the 1970s.
The FBI, in other words, not be subjected to the
sort of immediate political control and direction that
other agencies of the federal government must soon
confrontt Instead, it will be regarded once again, as it
was in the days of J. Edgar Hoover, as a semi-
autonomous organization.
Consider, by contrast, the situation at the nation's
other leading intelligence agency, the CIA. Out in
Langley, Virginia, the expectation seems to be that the
CIA director should clean off his desk as soon as the
president who appointed hi'm retires or is defeated.
President Carter found a college classmate, Admiral
Stansfield Turner, to take charge of the CIA in 1977.
Now Reagan has picked his former campaign director,
attorney William Casey?the sort of guy a president
used to name as his attorney general?to be CIA direc-
tor. While the FBI director is supposed to be an inde-
pendent fellow, it seems, the CIA director is now sup-
posed to be part of the president's foreign policy
"team." This is a new tradition at the CIA and a surpris-
ing one. Not even presidents Kennedy, Johnson, and
Nixon--none of them usually reluctant to assert polit-
ical authority?tried to replace sitting CIA directors
when they took office.
The controversy over presidential control of the FBI
began in 1972, when Nixon was in the White House
and Hoover was FBI director. That line-up can be
viewed as a Mexican stand-off. The cranky, autocratic
style of Hoover's final years gave a bad name to the
cause of independence for the FBI. Nixon's ham-
handed manipulations, on the other hand, gave a bad
name to political control of the FBI. When Hoover died,
Nixon installed L. Patrick Gray as FBI director?and

outraged, and some 'of them helped to dig up and
00200008-7
GRAY WAS succeeded as FBI director by Clarence
M. Kelley. During the 1976 campaign Jimmy
Carter attacked Kelley for what seem in retrospect like
'relatively minor improprieties, such as allowing FBI
workers to build window valances in Kelley's-subur-
ban apartment. Carter implied that, unlike President
Ford, he might have sacked Kelley on the spot. Kelley
was already nearly 65 years old, and he might have
been expected to step aside quickly when Carter won.
Instead, shortly after the election, Kelley appeared
before 350 Washington-based FBI supervisors and
announced he would stay on as director through the
end of 1977, in order to prevent the FBI from becom-
ing "politicized." Kelley told the agents that if he
retired at the beginning of 1977, he might set a prece-
dent under which a new FBI director would be
appointed every time a new party took control of the
White House. President Carter and his attorney gen-
eral, Griffin Bell, went along with the year-long delay,
in part because they were having trouble finding a
suitable replacement for Kelley.
Congress, meanwhile, under the prodding of Sen-
ator Robert Byrd, passed a law setting a 10-year term
of office for the FBI director. The legislation ostensibly
was intended to prevent future J. Edgar Hoovers, byl
setting a maximum period that FBI directors could
serve. The law does not (and probably could not) limit
the right of a president to replace his FBI director if he
wanted to do so. But in practice, the 1976 law was
taken as a signal that FBI directors were meant to have
something other than four-year terms. Webster said
last sunimer that he felt the 10-year term set by Con-
gress "suggests an intention that, as long as a director
is doing his job, he shouldn't come and go with changes
in political administrations." ?
There does not seem to be any good explanation for
the different treatments of the FBI and the CIA, other
than bureaucratic politics. CIA officials have not
mounted a vigorous campaign for independence, as
FBI officials have. CIA officials may have decided they
are better off being headed by a White House loyalist
who can provide political protection.during times of
controversy. ? - -
Logically, keeping the CIA director independent
makes at least as much sense as doing so for the head
of the FBI: The CIA is supposed to be, primarily, an
intelligence-gathering agency, which collects and ana-
lyzes information for- use by policy-makers. Putting a
member of the administration's "team" in charge of
the CIA increases the chance that the agency will tell
the White House what it wants to hear and sift out the
bad news:

This will leave the new teenkfrea to concentrate on:

Richard Allen, President Reagan's national security .
adviser, which in -my .view- holds the promise of ac-
complishing the objective in ways fully..., consistent
with the righta of
to?Ji ":0 I
f The key elements of this reform effort ere: '1) the
separation of the clandestine service for covert collec-
tion and operations frora the rest of the CIA, which:
_ would become an analysis agency, 2) the encourage-
ment of multiple centers of analysis and of competing.
'estimates rather than joint intelligence communityi
products and 3) the creation of a new intelligence co-
ordinating position in the White House.- '
Each of these proposals would meet stiff resistance
from some parts of the intelligence commimity; an&
Casey expressed general opposition to reorganization;
at his confirmation hearings, suggesting that there
have been too many reorganizations. -However, the.
fact is that these fundamental restructuring proposalsi
have yet to be seriously considered. Taken ;together;

- The splitting of the CIA would permit the appoint
ment of an analyst to the post of head of the CIA fop? j
the first time. (I am assuming that Casey would`
sume the White House intelligence role if these"
schemes were adopted.) It would permit that agefiq
-to concentrate on producing unbiased intelligenCei
without responsibility for any collection programsaird

develop of having the agency headed by e careerOtfil

without excessive secrecy and should be able -to de-

This new intelligence agency shouldnot devote sub:-
stantial time to producing joint intelligence products.
If such efforts are not proscribed, they, should be Ern-
ited to situations in "which - an agreed estimate is

should be made to prevent the hiding of profound difa

liam J. Casey; the W;a1rStreetlawyer

Reagan, already confirmed by the
Senate as CIA director.
Shortly before the intelligence
panel took its informal bailor; the
Senate Armed Services Committee
voted to approve Inman's promotion
to full admiral. '
In testimony before the intelli-
gence committee, Inman, SO, said
Casey would be responsible for the
CIA's covert spy operations. - -
Inman, meanwhile, said he will
look after the budget and adminis-
tration of the agency, technical
methods of intelligence collection.
like spy satellities and the CIA's
ability to correctly analyze the
information it gathers. -
As director of the super-secret
NSA, Inman headed an agency that
monitors radio and telephonic sig-
nals of othernatioias to gather intel-
ligence. ?
Inman held intelligence jobs
through much of-his Navy career,
including three years as director of
J%laval Intelligence.' '
' Through-- much-of the ,1970s,.
Inman- .said,..,the CIA badly- mis-
judged and underestimated the
rapid buildup of Soviet military
forces.
.- Despite predictions that Soviet
,citizens would demand less military
?'spending and greater production of
consumer goods, Inman said the
Russians added 3 percent or more to
? their military budgets annually, in-
cluding extensive expansion of de-
fense production facilities. -
Meanwhile, he said, the United
States slowed its defense expansion
because of the war in Vietnam and
the impact of inflation on ,military
spending.
Inman estimated that the Soviets
have three times as many people as I
the United States Working in its
intelligence agency, and said the
-CIA suffers from a marked shortage
of competent_ intelligence officers,
' both analysts and covert agents.
Over the past few years, Inman
said, "the national security account
suffered a big reduction," which
needs to be reversed.
The CIA, Inman said, needs many
more analysts who know enough
about various countries, including ;
Third World nations, to make it ;
possible to understand political and
economic changes quickly. I
? To find competent new analysts
and linguists, also in short supply,
Inman said he plans to reopen ties I
between the CIA and American uni-
versities and colleges. Many univer-
sities have been _reluctant to ac-
knowledge connections to the
agency because of disclosures of.
past CIA abuses, including involve-,
ment in foreign assassination at-
tempts during the 1960s.
Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., the-
chairman of _the Intelligence Com-
mittee, .: had . personally
recommended that Reagan and
Casey choose-Inman for the depu-
ty's job; and Inman was .warmly
praised by all members of the panel.

Not trying to take over ABC: Tisch
By BARBARA ETTORRE
STAT
The man whose company now owns more-than 6% of ABC says he is in it
for the money only. Furthermore, he says that if ABC stock doesn't
perform, he will sell his holdings.
"I have no Intention of doing anything else than owning this stock for
investment," states Larry Tisch, chairman of the Loews Corp.
Today Tisch is doing two things: expanding Loews' hotel empire and
taking a close look at cable television, an industry in which Loews lags.
Tisch is considered one of the most astute stock market players in
corporate America today. He has parlayed a small string of hotels bought
.20 years ago into a $4 billion corporation that includes the Bulova Watch
Co.; CNA Financial Corp., a_ property and casualty insurance underwriter;
P. Lorillard, maker of Kent, True and Newport cigarets; a hotel division
comprising about 20 hotels in the United States and abroad; and a theater
division operating 128 motiortpicture screens in 26 cities.
- So, when Larry Tisch moves, everybody watches.
At a time when others are touting New York real estate and downplaying
network television, Tisch has?characteristically?gone against the trend.
.Last year, Loews sold the Warwick Hotel and, just last month, the Drake,
two big New York City hostelries. Then he bought into ABC.
Reports persist that Loews wants ABC for its television and radio
franchises and its potential in cable television. '

What of persistent reports- that a deal will be
consummated shortly, giving Loews 20% of ABC's
shares?
"THEY AVE SO FAR out of the ballpark," Tisch
said.-"There is no deal, no thought of one. It is pure
nonsense. Loews has bought this stock for invest-
ment purposes only. We treat it no differently than
any other holdings. Whether we buy more stock or
sell ABC will depend on the price of ABC in relation
to the market that day."
Tisch said he decided to sell , the hotels because
Loews was "perhaps a little overstocked" in New
York. NoVy the company has 2,000 rooms ,here and
intends to expand its operations as rbidly as
possible over the next two years, opening 10 hotels in
new markets both here and abroad.
He also noted Thatthe Drake 'deal, made with
Swissair, Ltd., set a record of $115,000 per room. As
he said: "Our hotels were bought in a different era.
There's a big difference in buying a hotel for
$115,000 a room and owning it at one-tenth the priee."
Who is this man with the Quotron near his desk, a
man who is watched in awe by a large cluster of top
executives on both coasts?
He is small-framed, modest and polite. He wears a
well-cut, navy pin-striped suit and polished shoes and
sits in a big wing-back chair behind the "semi-
antique" oak table he uses as a desk in his -small
corner office at 666 Fifth Ave.

success, had earned both a bachelors from New York
and public funding of $850 million.
The couple lives in Manhattan during the week,
attending an average of Six functions a week. Tisch is
a trustee at NYU and in charge of the school's search
for a new president. On weekends they escape to a
stone house on Manursing Island in Rye, where
Billie Tisch has placed an enormous metal statue of a
scarecrow by.Miro in the backyard.
TISCH SAID THAT Chicago food executive Nate
Cummings introduced him to the charms of the stock
market. "In 1959, I was living in Florida while I was
managing our Americana hotel in Bal Harbor," he
recalled. "Loews was in the process of splitting its
MGM and theater divisions by court order: Nate
suggested that I take a look at it. All the stock that I
bought,! bought within a one-point range in a year.
Before! knew it, I had 25% of the company."
Tisch, who will be 58 in March, maintains a sizable
portion of Loews' capital in securities--an unusual'
position for any corporation, let alone one the size of '
Loews. His stock purchases usually, are visible, often
controversial. Many of his deals are so astute, that'
some observers accuse him of playing on inside,'
privileged information. _
"I know nothing that other people don't know," he
said. "In fact, I never want to know anything that is

Tisch's:name is Laurence,, but he is called Larry
"by guys I never met. Maybe that informality is a
good sign for the country:2 ?,? -
THE AMICABLE, INFORMAL combination of the
personalities of Larry and his Younger brother
Preston Robert (who, appropriately; is often called
.Bobby and. is the president of Loews and its opera-
tions man) 1s what makes the company tick. The
brothers run,Loews with the kind of independent
power. note often seen in kinlemporary American
business 4?.4_5;,A _ -
"I have no feeling of any0ower at all, said: the
Loews chairman. "I don't,feel" that I have power or
lack of power. Most corporate officers c,onie to their
jobs as ,'professional managers., I ,am, pore_of , an

"PEOPLE THAT DEAL_ with him, feel that he
deals up front," said Robert Linton, president of
Drexel Burnham Lambert. Linton has played tennis
regularly with Tisch on summer weekends in a group
including John Gutfreund, head of Salomon
Brothers; and Donald Stone, a stock specialist "All -
Wall Streeters---and Larry's the lone customer. He
buys industries when the Street is down on them."
Of course, there have been big mistakes, like the
? purchase of 500,000 shares of the Equity Funding
Corp. in March, 1973?the same month that Equity
Funding became the center of a now legendary
scandal." We bought a stock that turned out to be

The Casey-Inman team is in keep-

ian heads the agency, the deputy
spot goes to a military man, and vice

Stansfield Turner, a Navy, admiral,
and his deputy was Frank Carlucci,
a civilian who has been tapped by

Over 120 VIPs, in New York's banking, industrial, legal and media
-.worlds turned out to salute William Casey, the new head of the CIA, at
'a very closed reception and dinner at the Harvard?Club. Democrat '
Jerry Finkelstein'', who dominates the New York Law Journal and the
_ National Law Journal, picked up the tab because Casey is an old pal
and a member of the editorial board of the publications. .
, In attendance: Gov.. Carey, William Rogers, John Martin, Tornr-
Bolan, Robert Abrams, Ned Regan, Herman Badillo, Lawrence Cooke,
"Sol Wachtler, Lawrence Tisch, etc. Carey lauded his fellow St. John's
alum, but it was a letter from Stanley Sporkin, of the Securities and
?Exhange Commission, that was most ebullient in' praise. Sporkin said
it's rare that a man as qualified as Casey gets the job. He said Casey's
-task at the CIA will be equal in importance to "breaking the German
qpde in the Second World War.Which is exactly what Casey did.

they are considered vulnerable to black-

Senators who deal frequently with Ad-
miral Inman said that his briefings dif-
fered from those given by most other offi-
cials. :.Most intelligence officials I hedge
their comments," said Senator Joseph R.
Biden, Democrat of Delaware. "Inman is
a straight talker. I've watched him blow
away other officials and their comments
by J)roviding simple, non-opinionated
data. He deals in facts." , ,? ?
Admiral Inman's colleagues said that
he occassionally slipped out of Washing-
ton and traveled tourist class on commer-
cial airlines to address small groups of
professors and students at Harvard, the
Massachusetts .Institute of Technology,
Stanford and other schools in an effort to
build bridges between the intelligence-
gathering and academic worlds. His
friends said that Admiral Inman, dressed
in a business suit and driving a rented car
unaccompanied by aides, looked like a
traveling salesman.
-, Information Begets Power
e
The modest demeanor belies the impor-
tance of.Admiral Inman's position. In a
city where information is often said to be
power;"Admiral Inman, as the security
agency's director, has access to more
raw intelligence information than anyone
in Washington.
?,e- The security agency's operations are
-Conducted in strict secrecy. Its headquar-
,ters is - a large office building on the
grounds of Fort Meade, in the Maryland
countryside near Washington. Intelli-
gence officials estimated the agency's
budget to be more than $2 billion a: year,
larger than that of the Central Intelli-
gence Agency. eye::: ' ?

es, The security agency's headquarters is
-the. nerve center for a network of facili-
ties and employees around the world, as
well as numerous satellites that monitor
communications. Aided by computers,

phone calls and coded messages looking
for anything considered significant on
subjects ranging from Soviet militaryac-
eevity to world oil trade, according to in-
telligence officials . ? t
In the 1960's and early 1970's, the se-
curity agency's eavesdropping capabil-
ities were used domestically as part of
the Government's effort to gather data on
