GLOS PRACY REPORTS ON 'WASHINGTON JUNTA'
Warsaw GLOS PRACY 24-26 December 1965--A
(Article by J.W.: "A Junta in Washington")
(Text) Sipping his first cup of tea in the morning, President Johnson first of all
r aches for a sealed envelope placed on his tray. He opens it and takes out a small
a eet of thin paper which he quickly and carefully scrutinizes. This is a secret
r port drawn up by Ray Cline, head of the "department of interpretation"-of the CIA.
Tie "department of interpretation," which is one of the four main departments of the
A erican intelligence service,. does not employ agents hiding behind the brims of the
ts, or waiters eavesdropping on merry guests, or cleaning women rummaging in office
w stepaper baskets. Mr. Cline's aides are people with higher education, often
iverlity professors or outstanding specialists in free professions.
to fact that they are employed by the CIA "department of interpretation" is a deep
cret and it is in this sense that they are, secret agents of.the intelligence
rvice. Their task is to separate the "grain" from the "chaff" gathered by other
its of the American intelligence service and to draw up a concise report for the
esident, the secretary of defense, the secretary of state, and the special
viser to the President. This last post has been held by McGeorge Bundy, who is
1o become president of the Ford Foundation in February.
ie report contains information on the most important and most secret_events in
arious areas of the world which the 40,000 agents of the American intelligence
ervice managed to collect the previous day and night. "The working day" of Ray
line's specialists begins at 3 a.m. so as to provide the latest information for the
S. President by 8 a.m. It is easy to imagine how great.an'influence is exerted on
he decisions the President makes that day by the content of the report compiled by
he CIA ""apartment of interpretation" ahd?how much depends on the evaluation of this
nformation by heads of the CIA.'
o American Journalists, David Wise and Thomas B. Ross, disclosed in their book
ublished in New York a year ago many secrets surrounding the activities of the .
invisible government" of the United States, as they named the American intelligence
ervice. The past year provided us with a greatideal of fresh information on this
invisible government," which the Italian press did not hesitate to call a
'Washington Junta."
his definition does not seem to be an exaggeration if we take into account the
onnections between the intelligence service, government departments, numerous
ongressmen, even more numerous businessmen, and above all military end civilian
nctionaries of the ministry of aggression, or Pentagon. This combine of the
ightiest elements of the legislative and executive powers, of banks, industry, and
tate contractors is almost omnipotent.
in 1963,the "Junta" got rid of Kennedy and in 1964 it tried to place Goldwater in t
bite House. In 1965 it has been trying through various methods to convince the
American government and people that the best solution tc the Vietnam problem would
be the bombing of Hanoi and Haiphong and a sea blockade of the Indochina peninsula.
ccording to the latest data published by the Washington weekly U.S. NEWS AND WORLD
REPORT, the network of the American intelligence service consists of nine different
units. Their activities are controlled by the "Presidential advisory committee for
intelligence problems." However, despite its extensive powers with regard to contr
over intelligence activities, this committee has no powers to issue instructions to
or to manage intelligence agencies.

 The key positions among the nine units of the American intelligence service is
occupied by the CIA. Its former chief, Allen Dulles, a brother of the latt secretary
of state, tripped up by launphing the frustrated provocation against Cuba--the
notorious Bay of Pigs landing.
Dulles was followed by William F. Raborn. At one time Raborn was a vice admiral.
He is known among U.S. governing circles for organizing.. the production of the Polaris
nuclear missiles and completing this production ahead of schedule. Full of glory
and awards, he retired from the Navy in 1963 to take up the lucrative post of
vice president of the Aerojet-General Corporation, which supplies jet planes to the
U.S. Government. Last March he was transferred to the CIA, an institution that has
at its disposal several billion dollars a year and whose budget is supersecret and
not subject to any control.
Aside from the "department of interpretation," the CIA has three other
departments-'-information, subversion, 'and counterintelligence. A sample of the
character of the department of subversion is provided by a fact which was recently
related by Senator S. Young of Ohio on his return from Vietnam. Young found out that
CIA agents, dressed in the clothes of National Liberation Front fighters who.had
died or were taken prisoner, organized bestial massacres of Vietnamese women and
children.
A great many other CIA secrets became known to the public, giving rise to concern not
only abroad but also among the more enlightened minds of American society. Various
congressmen led by Senator Fulbright have proposed nine times that the activities
of the American intelligence service be investigated. None of these proposals has
been implemented.
Despite all its might, the American intelligence service had to acknowledge a great
deal of frustrated or at least unmasked designs directed against the sovereignty of
other states and the prestige of the United States and threatening world peace.
Aside from the embarrassment of the Bay of Pigs in Cuba, CIA agents engineered the
overthrow of the Iranian government of Mossadegh, who had "dared" to nationalize
Iranian oil, and organized the first antigovernment coup in Indonesia. In Burma
CIA agents organized Chiang Kai-shek'sbnnds. The organizer of the frustrated Bay
of Pigs operation, Frank Bender, was later transferred to the Congo, where he
recruited mercenary pilots for Tshombe.
The list of 58 "communist agents" was forged by the CIA to serve as a pretext for
armed interference in the Dominican Republic. CIA agents continue to take advantag.9
of the occupation of this country by U.S. armed forces under the banner'of the OAS,
trying to assassinate the leaders of the constitutionalists headed by Colonel
Caamano.
The breakdown in the peace negotiations between the republicans and the royalists in,
Yemen also occurred with the participation of CIA LEent Kennedy; an American "Colonel'
.Lawrence" who would take his place among the delegates of the dethroned Imam '
dressed as an Arab. The information launched into the world through. the American
press that the U.S. Government offered to supply the King of Saudi Arabia with
.weapons worth 200 million dollars was not without influence on the failure of
negotiations. Who was behind this information?
More and more one can find in the world press various indiscretions exposing the
machinations of the sinister "Washington junta." The head of the CIA suspects that.
these "leaks" must take place at a high level. This is why he recently dismissed '
one of his closest aides and promises further expulsions. In addition, he issued an
extremely drastic instruction: Every functionary is obliged to report to the CIA
in writing every conversation with any journalist and to state, where and when
the conversation took place,''what 'was the' subject, and what subjects were.-of
special interest:to the.journaliat. :Up to how such :regulationa'.haye'been binding
.only in the ease of foreign journalists. Now conversations with American journaliSts
must also be reported.
