Amcrica's greatest newspaper "of record" the New York Times, ignored the story, as did the Washington Evening Star and most other papers. The Washington Post carried the story as a small item on page ten. It was confirmed that editors were well aware of the story and its importance. . The August 10 filing of a suit in Wash- ington against CIA Director Richard Helms and other government officials was a mat- ter of court record and easily accessible to the news media. In addition, a news re- lease containing essential facts about the'. story was hand delivered to the Washing- ton Post, the Evening Star, the Associated Press and United Press International. . A week later, not one line concerning it had appeared anywhere in the country. *Special to the Virginia Weekly America's "invisible government,', the A call to one of Washington's two. dail- ies produced this comment from a leadirrg reporter: "You can call it a 'press con- spiracy' if you like, but we're not going to print it and I'm sure no one else is either: The Washington suit followed closely a trail-blazing decision on July 20 of this year by the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia.

More than 100,000 are expected to throng the streets of New York on April 22. Large delegations of demonstrators from Boston, Cleveland, Philadelphia and cities in Connecticut, New Jersey and upper SIew York State were making plans to come to the New York action. A key factor in the developing support for the April 22 demonstrations was the renewed "vigorous support" given the ac- tions by both the national office and regional offices of the People's Coalition for Peace and Justice (PCPJ). At a press conference in New York City, PCPJ spokesman David McReynolds restated the organization's call for "full support to April 22." He urged all antiwar forces to participate in the action. Among the contingents planning to participate in the New York march was the Attica Brigade.

A couple of times after Large theoretical ques- tions, phrased quite natu- rally in Marxist terms, were also frequent. "Can you describe the American social structure?" was one request I met with a couple of times. Or, "What is the form of struggle of the American . working class?" 'Workers, as one 3night ex- pect, ask questions about workers, such as how much they make, whether they live in dormitories, and whether workers can be fired at the whim of their employer In a workers' dormitory where I lived for two nights, the three young men with whom I shared a room had lots of specific questions about salaries, rents. the prices of food and clothing. Rent $1 In the dormitory. they pay about $1 a month for rent and about $7 for food out'of their monthly $20 salaries. Their response on being told American prices was to re- port quite proudly, "We al- ways thought Americans were very rich people. But now we see that your life is actually much more dif- ficult than ours." When I pointed out that . many American workers were actually well off by comparison with Chinese workers, they countered, "But American workers don't own the means of pro- duction like Chinese work- ers do. They are still ex- ploited." At Wuhan and Peking Uni- versities, many people want- ed to know about the Ameri-. can student movement, its tactics and organizations. "Now," I was asked fre- quently, "can the students be openly opposed to the Vietnam war and still re main in the United States? hearing the International, the world Communist an- them. students and workers both wanted to know if the *?Png could be sun., openly in the United States. Some I pemed a bit dubious when I laimed it could. At the universities, ques- .ions about teaching meth- ds, curriculum and student- eacher relations are com- aratively rare. So are ques-. lions about students' future plans. In fact; if a Chinese is asked what he wants to do after graduation, his reply more often than not will be: "That depends on the needs of the state. I'll do whatever I can to serve .the people." Only once did somebody state a specific choice for the future. A young female student at Peking Univer- sity who had been a bare- foot doctor in the. country- side told me she hoped to become a doctor after grad- uation. There are also a lot of de- tailed questions. Shill Yung- Chih, an old Honan peasant at whose home I lived for a couple of days, was interest- ed in knowing how old peo- pie live to be in America and how liar it is from the eastern to the western bor- ders. He also asked how cold it gets in winter, on what kind of beds Americans sleep, and whether they eat primarily millet or wheat for breakfast. He also wanted A o know' how much my watch, my camera and my coat cost. ,searching questions anybody asks in China are those of Premier Chou En-lai's. In a recent interview with a dele- gation of the Committee of Concerned Asian Scholars, the premier remarked that. he has not yet had a chance to go to the United States, though many Americans have come to China. Until then, he added, discussions in Peking would have to serve as his window on the West. With that brief preface, the premier launched into a series of casual, but pene- trating, questions about var- ious aspects of American., life. He asked about pollu- tion, about industry, about social changes in American cities. He also wanted to know if there was a CIA agent this year studying at the Harvard East Asian Re- search Center. To those who had been to Taiwan, lie asked about the conditions of life there and whether Taiwanese students would like to visit the main- land. And he admitted that the Chinese know little about the West and that they should know more. The discussion was infor- mal, but Chou was not mak- ing small talk. His questions were searching, and he built succeeding questions on prior responses. He was not satisfied with easy generali- zations. The premier was relaxed and gracious. But one thing was clear. He, like many Chinese, wanted to know.. And he was. very curious to kknow why, when I detached my -camera lens and held it at arm's length, the image, appeared upside down.

The questions, moreover, often say more about the way Chinese look at Amer- - - lea .,than the visitor's an- swers are likely to tell him about what America is like.

Because if there is one word Lansdale uses re- peatedly it is "help"-and he uses it personally, simulating a Lone Ranger- like urge to offer spontaneous assist- ance. Thus, the first day he ever saw Diem,. ".. . the thought occurred to me that perhaps he needed help.... I voiced this to Ambassador Heath... . Heath told me to go ahead." The in- formal atmosphere continues when Lansdale, upon actually meeting Diem, immortalizes him as "the alert and eldest of the seven dwarfs deciding what to do about Snow White." Further desires to serve inform Lans- dale's concern for the - "masses of people living in North Vietnam who would want to ... move out before the :omrrmunists took over." These unfortu- ,iates, too, required "help." Splitting over of the Hanoi region in early October [1954] including items about property, money reform, and a three. day holiday of workers upon takeover. The day following the distribution of these leaflets, refugee registration tripled." The refugees-Catholics, many of whom had collaborated with the French-were settled in the South, in communities that, according to Lans- dale, were designed to. "sandwich" Northerners and Southerners "in a cultural melting pot that hopefully would give each equal opportunity." Robert Scigliano, who at this time was advising the CIA-infiltrated Michi- gan State University team on how to "help" Diem, saw more than a melting pot: N With the exception of the Pentagon Papers, Edward Geary Lansdale's memoir could have been the most valu- able eyewitness account of the inter- nationalizing of the Indochinese war. Lansdale, a "legendary figure" even in his own book, furnished the model for the Ugly American who, from 1950 through 1953, "helped" Magsaysay put down the Huk revolution in the Philip- pines. He then proceeded to Vietnam where, between 1954 and 1956, he stucx close to Ngo Dinh Diem during Diem's first shaky years when Washington couldn't make up its mind whom to tap as the American alternative to Ho Chi Minh. Lansdale's support insured Diem as the final choice for Our Man in Saigon. While the book's time span is, therefore, relatively brief, the period it covers in the Philippines and Viet- nam is genuinely important. There is only one difficulty with In the Midst of Wars: from the cover to the final page it is permeated with lies. That Harper & Row finds it possible to foist such a package of untruths on the public-and for $12.50!-several months after the emergence of the Pentagon Papers, and years after the publication of other authoritative studies, exhibits contempt for a public trying to understand the realities of our engagement in Vietnam. The lie on the jacket describes Lans- dale merely as an OSS veteran who spent the years after World War II as a "career.oflicer in the U.S. Air Force." In the text Lansdale never offers any explicit evidence to the contrary. In- deed, on page 378-the last of the text- he states that at the very time Diem was being murdered in Saigon, "I had been retired from the Air Force." For all I know Lansdale drew his pay from the Air Force and, as the photo- graphs in his book attest, he certainly Wore its uniform. This is irrelevant.

Bay area radicalism had its first major eruption some seven years ago when UC Berkeley staged a major campus revolu- tion. That was the beginning of a militant campus regime that spread rapidly to many other campuses over the nation. SAN FRANCISCO-Berkeley, seat of the University of California, probably must be rated as the nation's most radical and leftist city-at least its city government. The Berkeley City Council has moved to halt any expansion of war-related in- dustries. In a resolution adopted by a vote of 6-2 the Council ordered the plan- ning commission to begin investigation of the city's ability to regulate activities and locations of all war-related industries and to use "city ordinances and zoning laws to prohibit any further expansion of such industries." The city attorney's office was directed to "work with interested persons in the community to prepare reports every three months on what war-related in- dustries are operating in the city. The resolution defined war-related industries as those that have "contracts with the Department of Defense or Central In- tellivence A y related with t i~war in South-cast Asia," Presumably the resolution also includ- ed the university. The radical action did not end with that resolution. A second resolution passed by the same 6 to 2 vote called on the U.S. "to stop all bombing in Southast Asia, cease all support of the Saigon regime and withdraw all troops from Southeast Asia now."

In the meantime Berkeley had become the mecca for young radicals and leftists who had no connection with the university. They were attracted to the ? university city because of the school's militant activities. Thus Berkeley's radical and leftist population greatly in- creased. These radicals and militants do not yet enough to make for a powerful political factor when they "hang together." That is what ? they did in the election that catapulted three radicals. into the city's council. The majority vote of mid- dle-roaders and conservatives was divid- ed among too many candidates.

Well, they're all loyal Americans and they all share space in a remark- able preference work called "Who's Who in CIA." For at least a decade, broad areas of American intelligence operations have been known -intimately by mem- bers of the press and by leading newspaper, magazine and broadcast- ing executives. Some of these people were in the service of the CIA them- selves. Others presumably allowed members of their staffs to cooperate with and report to the CIA. This information does not come from The New York Times or the Co- lumbia Broadcasting System. It does not come directly from classified doc- uments within the CIA. It does not come from a gossip column or a late- night news show. It does not come from the Rand Corporation. It comes from a 605-page book ti- 'tled Who's Who In CIA and subtitled A Biographical Reference Work of the Officers of the Civil and Military Branches of the Secret Services of the USA in 120 Countries. By Dan Pinck . ' ' In his introduction publisher Mader refers to the United States' "disposal- subversionis t war" and he writes that "the intelligence service in the USA is the largest and most in- fluential in the imperialist' world" .and further observes that "the intelli- gence service of the USA has always been the domain of the fanatical ene- mies of democracy and a stronghold of the anti-communists." There's no doubt where Mader's sympathies lie. In his introduction he also notes those who helpea him compile the book. These include Mohamed Abdel- nabi, of Beirut, Lebanon: Ambalal Bhltt, of Bombay, Fernando Gamar- ro of Mexico City, and Shozo Ohashi, of Yokohama.* There are 3000 entries in the reference work and they range from US ambassadors, artists and museum curators to the directors of Asian and Russian research centers at leading American universities to political. affairs officers, cultural af- fairs officers and AID controllers at various US embassies overseas to em- ployees of The New York Times and CBS. The listing is an impressive one and even allowing for errors that even intelligence services can make, it is likely a reasonably accurate ac- counting of certain leading opera- tives and associates of the CIA.

In one embassy with approxima- tely 55 staff members, for example, the book picked out one person as the CIA operative. Since that particular name was known to me it began to give a ring of authenticity to the en- tire listing. When it noted certain US officials that I had met on several tours in 16 African nations as being CIA-associated, the sense of authen- ticity grew firmer; when it listed the name of Dan A. Mitrione, who was kidnaped and killed in Brazil several years ago and who was identified at that time as an AID official, as an op- erative of the CIA, it's additional evi- dence that the work is as legitimate (and as nefarious) as it can reason- ably be. . The book lists the operatives who have served throughout the world. The German Federal Republic leads the roster with 264 operatives.

Informal discussions indicate that perhaps a third of University faculty meni- bers who have attended international con- feiiences abroad or who have traveled abroad in connection v,'iti, their academic interests have, at sonic time, been briefed or debriefed by the CIA'or FBI before or after their trips. Last summer, for example, two related international conferences were held in the Soviet Union. Despite the fact that there is no classified research going on either in the United States or in the Soviet Union in this particular field (elementary particles) many of the U.S.- participants were visited by the CIA or FBI. As a matter of fact the question of whether a conference deals with fields involving classified re- search appears to be unrelated to the in- telligence agencies' interest in it. History, sociology, medicine, 'English, as well as ph}si?cs, engineering and computer science are only some of the departments that have Consider what must be involved when an agency such as the CIA is interested in obtaining some information from an international conference. The CIA must decide whether to brief selected faculty participants (whose discretion and coopera- tion can be relied upon) in advance of the conference, or depend primarily on a larg .-scale debriefing afterwards, or a combination of both. It is precisely here that information accumulated about, in- dividuals through surveillance, questioning of colleagues and superiors, and compila- tions of names of petition signers, con- tributors to causes, etc., plays an important role. Suppose, for example, the CIA asks a department chairman, as ' it has been known to do, if one of the members of his department. will cooperate' with them. Any definitive an'g'er to such a question is necessarily ta::amount to a political char- acterization of the faculty member under discussion, at least as far as the CIA--and conic under the eye of the CIA. its fraternal agencies are coicerned.

What about the faculty member who is asked to supply information to 'the intelligence agency? While many would prefer not to have any dealings with such agencies, it takes a good deal of courage to refuse.' Does not the University have the duty to shield the faculty from such pres-? sures, especially in the case of those who depend heavily on federal funds for re- search and junior, inexperienced faculty who feel that their entire careers may be jeopardized by a "wrong" attitude? Perhaps the more serious question is the impact intelligence activities have on thS atmosphere at international gatherings, the impediments they place to the developmcr.?t of international collaboration and free exchange of information in all fields.

I Approved For'Release 2001/03/04: CIA-RDP80-01601 The Academic Senate of the University of California at Sari Diego is asking an end to clas- ?sified or "secret" research, in- eluding that funded by such federal agencies as the Defense Department and the Central Intelligence Agency. In approi-ina"h resolution rc questing this, the senate said research programs should be judged on the ? basis of their content and service to the uni- yersity and the public, rather ? - than on the needs of an agency seeking the research. Fund Report Asked In a companion resolution, the senate requested the Office of Graduate Studies to provide an annual report on the amount, source and nature of research funding on the campus. "This report should serve to indicate the degree to which freedom of research is bein g maintained for the faculty," S. the resolution said. The senate, which repre- sents the university's 454- member faculty, asked for less reliance on "mission ori- ented research . . . research in which the funding agency demands specific results and sometimes severely circum- scribes the methods to be used by the researcher," said Dr. Gabriel Jackson, chairman, of the senate. s-Month Study Cited Jackson said such liulita- tions often interfere with the `'unfettered pursuit of truth which must always be the main objective of a prcfessor engaged in research." The action comes after an eight-month study of research being conducted at UCSD. Dr. Herbert Stern, chairman of the 10-member study com- mittee, said no UCSD students work in classified or restricted research. However, he said some pro- fessors are working oh classi- fied- projects, most of which are for the Navy. Reasoning Explained "The question was whether military funded research pro- granms were distorting the pur- pose of the university." Stern STATI NTL said. "No student can be cclu- cated in graduate $chgol it. that eCudatie n is in ,.a clhssi- fied a;--ea, since snider" those circumstances, work would not be open to inspection."
