The founding and the first year's activities of the Commor ? ? ? /4/0A.

an update on Thomas Troy's report. ? ?? ANS
Professional intelligence officers have traditionally beer ?

professional association which would bring public attent p

As Tom Troy wrote, "retired intelligence officers, old pros, ..? .
ceaseless round of accusations, investigations, revelations, and condemnations of
the intelligence agencies. They had organized in defense of themselves, their
careers, their craft, their agencies. At the same time, they had found natural
allies ? retired military, defense specialists, some academicians, public-spirited
citizens ? whose concern for national defense made them also supportive of a
strong, effective national intelligence system."
"Out of the collaboration there came on the Washington scene, in the last decade,
more than a baker's dozen of either new intelligence organizations or old
organizations with a new interest in intelligence. From them came in the
aggregate much talking, meeting, fund raising, and prompting of causes and
projects. So much, in fact, that retired Ambassador Elbridge Durbrow of the
Security and Intelligence Fund (now the Security and Intelligence Foundation) was
laughingly moved to complain, 'There are too damned many people barking up the
same tree. There's need for some coordination.'"

There had been some suggestion of a super-organization, to which all others could
belong, which would act as a coordinating body for- their efforts. Some
organizations talked of combining, but as is normally the case, the question of
which organization would be subsumed brought all these efforts to naught.
At the October 1981 convention of the National Military Intelligence Association
(NMIA) at the National Defense University in Washington, D.C., leaders of four
professional intelligence groups discussed the profession, and particularly the role
of their organizations. In addition to NMIA, the National

Dear Mt. Mirlish:
OLC 76-1043/a
21 April 1976
I have received your letter of 6 April referring to a request
by Mr. Gus Lanata, Caldwell High School, Caldwell, New Jersey, for
an Agency official to address his high school assembly.
We recognize the desire of the public to be informed about the
Central Intelligence Agency and we Make every effort to respond to
that whenever we can. We believe, however, that the best utilization
of our resources for this purpose is in a single speaker context; not
in a seminar or forum discussion with other speakers..
I regret that we cannot accept the invitation from the James
Caldwell High School. However, if a group or groups of these
students ever visit Washington we would be pleased_ to have them
visit our headquarters in Langley, Virginia and meet with an Agency
official.
I have enclosed a package of material about the Agency for
you to send to NT. Lanata. I believe that it will enable him and
his fellow students to get a better understanding of our role and
responsibility in our Government.
Sincerely,
SI=

? Two federal suits
aing combined dam-
ages of over Si. b;lion
were filed Monday at-
leging the government ,
? through the Central e
Intelligence Agency ?
conspired to gain an
unfair aviation advan-
tage over other
commerical airlines. ;
The suits, filed in Oke;
lahoma City federal;
court, claim "The gov-I
ernrnent of the United.
States of America was:
inextricably involved
in this conspiracy by;
the CIA and various of!
its agents and direc-1
tors."
One of the suits was
filed by U.S. Overseas
Airline, Inc., composedi
of five other aviation,
firms. The other was
filed by California Air
? Charter Inc. and Holi-
day Airways Inc.
The suits claim fed-
eral aviation agencies
and numerous airlines
conspired "to gain un-
just profit for their own
benefit and to the ulti-
mate detriment of the
? plaintiffs and the con-
sumers of commerical
aviation services of our
? country.7.- -
They j claim the al-
leged conspiracy
deprived the American
people. of "low cost,
high quality -commer-
cial air transportaion"
for years and caused a
loss to the nation's in-
dustrial development
"measured in the bil-
lions of dollars." -
The CIA's involve-
ment, according to the.,
suits; "was apparently
the agency's effort to
develop sources of in-
come to finance clan-
destine activities with-
out the inconvenience
of cortgressigliVarbwd
sight" from 193g to the
present.
Th a rlairn tha
vately held" commeri-
cal airlines, and were
allowed "to gouge.
greater profits from
military airlift con-
tracts as well as exces-
sive profits from con-
tract air services from
the private sector." 1
While the govern-
ment allegedly forced
the complaining avia-
tion firms to comply
with arbitrary regula-
tions and security con-
siderations, the govern-
ment-run firms were
"allowed a 'hands off'
status" the suits state.

Jeer Mr. Bullock:
Thank you for your kind invitation of 31 May to speak before the
Calvin Bullock /Forum on 3 October, 25 October, or 1 November.
I am aware of the program of the Forum and the fact that Mr.
Helms, on two separate occasions, spoke off the record to your mem-
bers. I accept your invitation and believe that 1 November would be
most convenient. Perhaps The Intelligence Community" would be the
best working title for my comments.
Needless to nay, my acceptance of your invitation is contingent
upon the outcome of my forthcoming appearance before the Senate for
confirmation as Director of Central Intelligence.

The Honorable William Egan Colby
Director
Central Intelligence Agency
Washington, D. C. 20505
Dear Mr. Colby:
0001-6
Once or twice a month a remarkably prominent group
of business men gathers at One Wall Street to hear a speaker dis-
cuss some matter of major interest to the business world.
Such meetings are usually held in mid-week and begin
at four o'clock sharp. The talk lasts half an hour and is followed
by a quarter hour question period.
Everything said is off the record. This permits
unu8ually intimate addresses and discussions.
A partial list of speakers is enclosed. Their eminence
and the character of the audience have given this institution an inter--
national reputation.
Won't you come from Washington as our guest and honor
our Forum on O'ctober 3rd, October 25th or November 1st? We
would promise you a distinguished audience. We hope you can say
yes.
Sincerely yours,
HI-1/es

STORIES get told and stories
eer teported. Frequently a
foreign corresporxient, trying
to penetrate the surface
appearance of an intricate
sst cf events filled with their
own macabre web of killings
and eeetaye.is, fails at dret to
get the report right Coups
d'etat or midaight butcheries,
occurring in distant spots at
:moments of ?? unexpected
crisis, area- often reported
with littleereal accuracy at
the- time. Few writers go
back to those reo-orts, once
nut on- page' one, to discover
later that-the real story was
a very different one.
-Just such a case occurred
Thur years ago on the night
of August le- 1975, when the
-rounding nationalist leader of
Bangladesh, Sheikh Mujibur
Ranerean was killed in a mili-
tary putsch. For The Guar-
dian.. Martin Woollacott and I
eled one of the most detailed
accounts of what happened.
It ran as the lead story on
August 23 1975. Looking
back, it appears that we in-
evitably missed a lot. But, as
with all such events' -when
they happen, no one except
the actual participants knew
what had really gone GIL
The coup happened. on one
of. those hot sweleering mon-
sooa nights that. .blow up
_ each summer from.. the Bay
of Bengal. It was :a quiet

As --they lined up in
. formation on the main run-
way, the cornrnanding officer
of the column, Major Farooq,
stood. GIT a tank and told his
tr.ene that that night they
would overthrew elujib'es re-
gime. It was ,a fire-eating
speech ad by the time Far-
ooq had enished they were
ready to go. They moved out
and split into three columns.
Within three hours Mujib
and-. more than forty
members of his family were
dead. -
The version ' of events
which 'emerged at the time
WaT.that six junior officers,
with three hundred men
under their command, had
acted on theiri own over- :
throwing Mujib. The motives!
for the coup were attributed
to a combination of personal
grudges held by certain of
the officers against Mujib and
his associates, together with
a general mood of frustration
at the widespread corruption
which had come to character-
ise Mujib's regime,
In reporting the coup no
foreign or Bengali journal-
ist probed beyond the super-
ficial. aspects of what had
happened. What contacts the
officers- had made before
August, which politicians had
been, contacted, were ignored.
The -version of events that
;
'the officers had acted alone,
-without prion political plan-
- rang. was -a myth that came
to stand as fact. _ -
The naornLarg Mujib and his
family were killed, the figure
by the young
majors- as President was
Mimed-akar Mustaque, gener-
ally aonside_red to be the re-
presentative of the rightist
...faction within eaujib's Awami
League. After the putsch,
Mustaque remained impec-
cably reticent about any part
he personally might have
-a.played in Mujib's
He neither conermed nor
denied his prior involvement.
He simply avoided Any public
discussion of the question
A year following the coup,
after he had himself been
,-toppled , from'-power and
-before his own arrest on cor-
ruption charges,. Mustaque
denied to me any prior.
: knowledge of the coup plan
or prior meetings with the
army majors who carried out
the action. The majors, how-
ever, have told a very differ-
ent story.
They have confirmed. prior
meetings and prior links with
Mustaque and his associates.
Knowledgeable Bengali and
foreign diplomatic sources
? now claim that Mustaque and
his political friends had been
involved far more -than a
year in . plans designed to
bring ablaut the Over:throw of
According to inform-
ation obtained from senior
US officials at the American..
Embassy in Dacca and from
well-informed - Bengali
sources, it appears that the
United 'States ? had, prior
knowledge of the coue which
killed Mujib, and that Amer-
ican Eirtbassy personnel had
held discussions with indivi-
duals involved in the plat
more than. six Tao-tabs prior
to his death.
According to one' etigealy-
placed US Embassy diplomat,
officials n at. :the.. Araericarre
Embassy- Were- approached by
people ?: intesiding -a to ? e over-
throw - 'the government
Sheikh alujibureee Rahman. ?
This Embassy source has,.
stated that a series of meet-
ings took place with Embassy
personnel between November
1974 and January 1975. These
discussions were . held with
the purpose of determining
the attitude of the US Gov-
towards a political
change in Bangladesh if a
coup d'etat were actually to
happen.
The contacts occurrred
during the period in which .
the Church and Pike Con-
gressionai Committee hear-
ings in Washington on CIA
assassinatior of fol--jtai
leaders were gearing up. Then -
creating great nervotiS ness
and anxiety. The American
press was openly speculat-
ing that senior American in-
telligence officials might face
imprisonment for illegal clan-
destine action .in Chile and
elsewhere.
In the atmosphere emanat-
ing .from the Senate hear-
ings, a decision was taken by
the US Embassy in Dacca in
January 1975. According to a
senior official: "We came to
art - 'understanding in the
embassy that we would stay
out of it and disengage from
those people." Although a de-
cision was made at. a high
Ievela.in the embassy that
there would be no further
contact- with the anti-Mujib
group, what happened subse-
quently is a matter of contro-
versy among US officials
interwieweds. .
Those- who knew of the
earlier meetings deny any
personal knowledge of what
happened alter ea-riy 1975.
Others allege that while con-
tact was broken ? off at the
level of diplomatic and for-
eign service- officials, who
wished to- remain, "dean."

the honorarium included. I am afraid, however, that I do not accept
such honorariums in my present position, as I believe it a part of
my official duties to explain the nature of intelligence today tuilti-

at having had the chance to do so at the John Carroll Society sad
consequently return the attached check.

Thank you very much for the invitation to speak
at the meeting of the John Carroll Society on Sunday,
October 19th. Barbara and I will both be very happy to
be with you on that occasion.
Obviously, I will speak about American intelligence
today. I hope I can clarify our country's need for good
intelligence, the excellence of our intelligence, the
true proportion of the missteps we may have made over
the past twenty-eight years and the way intelligence works
today. The idea of a twenty-or-so minute talk followed
by questions sounds very appropriate. I look forward to
the opportunity to meet this important audience, and I
will hope to bring along my application blank as well.
Thank you again.

spread collusion with Catholic Relief

charge of the agency's Vietnam program
has assailed the newspaper report as
'roll of halt-truths" and has defended his
policy of cooperating with the American
war effort. -
While such cooperation has been the
'subject of persistent rumors in the last
few years, the yearlong investigation by
Richard Rosake of the National Catholic
Reporter, an independent journal based
in Kansas City, Mo., raises these reports
,o a- new level of seriousness.
The paper, in its Dec. 17 issue, cort-
eludes that the agency went beyond its
:humanitarian mandate - as the foreign
. relief arm of the United States Catholic
. Conference by aiding the military in such
endeavors as forcibly uprooting Viet-
namese peasants and herding them into
refugee camps:
Among Mr. Rashke's contentions are
that the Catholic service unit supplied
huge amounts of food and other pro-
visions to prison camps and to reimburse
-Vietnamese military forces. Military of-
ficers were said to have worked in Cath-
olic Relief Service offices and provided

The Rev. Robert 1. Charlebols,
rected Vietnamese efforts for the organi-
zation, conceded yesterday that the
agency accepted material help from the
American Government and worked in
close cooperation with the military.
He argued, however, that these ar-
rangements were solely for the purpose
of assisting the poor, and represented e):-
pedient choices under severe wartime
conditions.
"When we found ourselves in the reali-
ty of the situation," Father Chariebois
said, "we made the best ofit that we
could." He added that the pressing situa-
tion led the agency to accept many forms
of help, among them transportation for
staff members by Air America, the line
operated by the Central Intelligence
Agency.
Father Charlebois, now an assistant to
the executive director of the agency, also
pointed out that the policies in questioo
saved lives. "What would have hap-
pened if we hadn't responded as we did
in many cases?" he said. "Death." lie
continued: "No doubt hundreds of thou-
sands of people were kept alive because
we fed them."
Reports of alliances between the mili-
tary and Catholic Relief Services have
floated about for- years. Many came to
light a year ago with reports that the
C.I.A. employed American rnissionarie4:1

During much of the Vietnam war,
Catholic Relief Services.abandoned- its.
apolitical: humanitarian rol-e and be-
came an. adjunct of the American mil--
itary effort, a leading Catholic weekly -
--has charged. ? -
The charges, which will appear in
the Dec. 17 issue of the National Cath-
olic Reporter, grew out of a year-
long investigation of CRS -by the
? weekly's -- Washington - correspondent, ,
Richard Rashke.
In his account, Rashke. alleges:
* That CRS turned over vast quanti-
ties of relief suppplies?food, clothing
and medicines?to U.S. and South Vi- ?
etnamese military units to be used as
pay for irregular . forces and
"incentives' for intelligence gather-
ing.

-policy and demanding U.S. military
withdrawal,
? The Most Rev. James S. Bausch,
general Secretary of the National Con-
ference of Catholic ishops?to which
'ens is ultimately responsible?said
? he has not yet seen the Reporter ac-
count and therefore could not corn-
? ment. He said that, if the charges are
substantiate.cl, the bishops would
"certainly want to take action."
Information in the Reporter ac-
count was derived largely from U.S.
government reports and interviews
with former CRS-Vietnam personnel
as well as staff members of other vol-
.-
untary and U.S. government agencies
who served in Vietnam.
CRS,, which Is headquartered in
New York, refused to make any of its
. files or reports available. Rashke said.
As the official humanitarian arm. of
American Catholics, CRS is supported
in part by collections in all churches
on a derAgrat,ed Sunday, usually in late
March. Like other worldwide relief
' agencies, it also derives a large part
of its budget from U.S. government
contribution of surplus food under
?.Public Law 4P.O. . ? ?
1iY75, church members gave 56.5
?riuion to CRS, or 3 per cent of CRS'
total, worldwide budget. . ??
CRS worked in Vietnam from 1934,
when it moved in to help feed, clothe
and resettle the nearly 1 million refu-
gees who fled south after the French
pullout, until the fall of Saigon in
.1975. Although there were earlier
charges of mishandling of relief
.goods, the Reporter account deals psi-
manly with the situation from 19-67.-
on, when the agency's 'Vietnam opera-
tion was directed,by the Rev. Robert
L. Charlebois.
In 1967, writer' Michael' Novak re-
ported after a visit to Vietnam- that
CRS, at the request of Gen. William
Westmoreland, was. supplying 7,000
tons of food and clothing a month to
150,000 Vietnamese civilian militiamen
and their 550,000 dependents. The sup-
plies were requested by the American
military to provide what- Novak said
was23 per cent of the monthly wages
of the Popular Forces/Regional Forces,
nicknamed the Ruff Puffs by the U.S.
Marines. , ? ;
After seven months of growing criti-
cism, CRS in New York ordered an
end to paying Ruff Puff salaries with ?
relief supplies. - Rashke's article
charges that instead of changing, its
-policy, CRS in Vietnam "merely
changed its accounting procedures.'-

military officers, who in turn gave it I
to the Popular Forces and their fami-
lies," the Reporter says.
It adds: "Charlebois and his Saigon .
successor, Father John 'McVeigh, vig- '
orously denied CRS continued to sup-
plement the salaries of the Ruff Puffs
after the New York order to stop" -
Despite Charlebois' insistence, in an
interview with Rashlte, that CRS pol-
icy prohibited giving CRS commodi,
ties to prisons or interrogation cen-
ters, Raslake said that former staff .
members told him such distributions
were made in several prisons, includ- -
fug Con Son. . --- --. .?

The Reporter claims that military

, work in CRS offices, in South Vietnam. -
, CRS officials in Newt York refused-,
to let Rashke see its reports, but a :for-

who typed some of them in Saigon, as;

One leads to another
"Many of the criticisms directed against fraternities are well founded, and
they are not entirely engendered by a feeling of bitterness on the part of some
disgruntled student who did not make a fraternity. The fraternity system cannot
be attacked in theory, but unfortunately we do not always carry out our ideals
and principles in practice. Snobbishness, political activity, extravagance, poor
scholarship, and many other often-quoted evils do exist in many of our chapters,
and these must be eradicated absolutely, if we are to justify ourselves in the
public eye."
? Written in 1913 by afield Secretary of a national fraternity.
1913, that was a long time ago, but much, if not all of those
criticisms are still true. So what is Chi Psi doing? Though in the
formative stages, both the Educational Trust and the Fraternity
are seriously working to battle the problems of relevance in the
fraternity system of today. Both groups aim to provide a mean-
ingful experience for not only undergraduates but also alumni.
"Yes, but I've heard that before," you may say to yourself.
Exactly why this editorial is being published. All of our members
should be aware of the initial steps being taken to reach that
goal.
The Chi Psi Educational Trust has embarked upon a cam-
paign to provide an experiential education for all Chi Psis. Part
of an undergraduate's educational experience in college relates
to the original ideals of fraternity. "For the cultivation of true
friendship, then; for mutual protection and advancement in
intellectual, moral and social life . . . " words taken directly
from the Preamble of the Chi Psi Constitution, written in 1845.
The Trust has committed itself to initiating new programs to
provide an "advancement in intellectual, moral and social life."
Description of a new program appears later in this issue. Briefly,
the pilot program provides a career internship capitalizing on
the benefits Chi Psi alumni can provide to Chi Psi undergrad-
uates with the assistance of the Trust.
In The Chi Psi Story, the national pledge manual, John W.
Anderson, Epsilon '90, sixth president of the fraternity is quoted,
" . . . it (Chi Psi) has expression only in the fellowship of its
bonds, begun when life is young and not broken in old age." The
Trust's Career Internship Program makes this quote a reality.
Existing Trust programs such as the "Program for Self-
Development" touched upon the experiential education for un-
dergraduates but now the Trust advances one step further.
The Fraternity also looks ahead to create a more meaningful
Chi Psi experience. As of this summer, the Central Office staff
underwent a reorganization assigning staff members to be re-
sponsible for all Central Office communications with specific
Alphas. In this manner, the staff member would become very
familiar with his Alphas enabling him to provide personal atten-
tion to them. Alumni Council members were also assigned spe-
cific alphas to visit. Through this, the Executive Council should
obtain first-hand input from the undergraduates.
The Chi Psi Executive Council, ever conscious of the under-
graduate student body, continues to devote five of its fourteen
positions to undergraduate representatives of Chi Psi's five
regions. This represents the largest number of undergraduates
on any national fraternity governing board. All the alumni
Council members agree that the input from these men proves in-
valuable.

President-elect of the Fraternity, Oliver Rowe, Sigma '25,
embarked upon a crusade within the fraternity for a "Program
for Excellence" last spring. Brother Rowe's program has created
great interest among the undergraduates, many alumni and
members of the Executive Council and the Educational Trust.
Brother Rowe's personal goal requires him to visit every Alpha
of Chi Psi presenting his visions of excellence for the Fraternity.
Brother Rowe's response to the question, "What is the Pro-
gram for Excellence?" describes "The Program for Excellence"
as "a movement within the Fraternity 'to give the Brotherhood
a serious and practical purpose. Its long-range objective is
to help the undergraduates achieve success in college and to
prepare them better for achieving greater success in any walk
of life they may choose after college.
"In college the Excellence they achieve would practically
assure their entrance into any graduate school, into law school,
into medical school, or into any professional school they desire.
Also, the reputation of the Fraternity would rise so high and the
achievements for excellence be so great on the part of our grad-
uates, they will have earned a preferred position in getting posi-
tions in industry or business.
"In life after college our graduates will achieve greater success
in their professions and careers, because of the habits they
have acquired and the things they have learned from their ex-
perience in Chi Psi. I call this the "stuff' on which success
is built,
"The Program for Excellence will raise our Brotherhood to
heights undreamed of in the fraternity world. So great will be
the improvement that colleges and universities will want our
chapters on their campuses. Our alumni will develop a new and
greater interest, because they will be proud of us.
"Excellence will bring about a considerable easing of our
financial problems and Rush will become a joy.
"Ours will be the "Success" Fraternity ? bent on turning
out superior men,"
In future issues, the Purple and Gold will present specific
programs developed as a direct result of Brother Rowe's "Pro-
gram for Excellence." Some Alphas have already begun to
design "Programs for Excellence" for themselves after Brother
Rowe has spoken to them.
Where is Chi Psi today? Chi Psi is in the process of implement-
ing the original ideals by which our founding fathers realized
their dream of "cultivating among its Brothers an awareness of
our Brotherhood with all mankind." Philip, we extend our apol-

John J. Kennedy 78
Once again, Alpha Pi is dominating
the athletic, academic, and social facets
of Union College. The Lodge itself is
thriving with a full house of 37 actives.
The Union football team, captained by
Brother Tom Hood '77, is bolstered by
the presence of ten other Lodgers, while
the Union soccer team is captained by
Brother Jim Manning '78, with support
from two other Lodgers.
Academically, Alpha Pi ranks fifth
among Union's fourteen fraternities. Re-
cent Clifford Williams Scholarship win-
ner Bob Clarke '77, has been initiated in-
to Tau Beta Pi, an honorary engineering
society, and has his eye on medical
school.
Socially, Alpha Pi saw many alumni
on Homecoming Weekend, and also an-
ticipates a typically excellent rush.
Finally, Alpha Pi would like to thank
Brother Hal Stephenson, Pi '38 for his
years of dedicated service to Chi Psi as
corporation president. He will be re-
placed by Brother John Strickland,
Pi '69.
ALPHA MU
Middlebury College
Ward Mann '78
Things are going well at Alpha Mu
this fall. The Lodge has improved in re-
cent years with substantial changes for
the better. Our cook of three years is
back and the food is great!
With 18 brothers initiated this fall,
our membership now numbers sixty.
This large number enabled us to wel-
come back our alumni brothers properly
on Middlebury's Homecoming Week-
end, October 8-9. The weekend was,
indeed, a success despite the frigid,
damp weather conditions. A moderate
alumni turnout enjoyed an afternoon
cocktail party and buffet dinner. An
Alumni Corporation meeting was con-
ducted on the morning of October 9th,
with trustees and the Lodge #1 and #4
attending. Brothers Schaefer, Cangiano,
Peck, Baxter, Barry, Brigham and Fraser
were attending. Money was alloted for
sprinkler additions and wiring repair.
Intramurals are going well. Alpha
Mu's touch football team is undefeated
through October 14th. including a de-
vasting 52-0 trouncing of DKE. The
Lodge soccer team, after two games has
a win and a tie.
The 1976-77 year promises to be a
great one, profitable in many ways.
We hope as many of you as possible will
stop by to see us.

The first semester at Alpha Alpha,
Wesleyan University, was highlighted by
the addition of a new rec room. The Bro-
thers refinished a room in the basement
of the Lodge and it was topped off with a
new pool table generously donated by
Mr. Morris Gaebe, father of Brother
John Gaebe.
The fall election of officers saw Bro-
ther Bob Latessa elected #2, Brother Neil
Fitzgerald elected #4 and Brother Pat
Kiley, elected #3. Our present #1, Jim
Carey, remains in office until January.
The Brothers of Alpha Alpha are
pleased to have an outstanding pledge
class this year. They are pledges Peter
Murphy, Richard Calantropo, Richard
Wilburn, Frank Lamonica, Mark Casey,
Greg Paladin?, Tom Cooney, Greg Al-
croft, and Tom Schofield.
Alpha Alpha was proud to have 14 of
our members on the outstanding Wes-
leyan football team this year, eleven of
them starters.
ALPHA ETA
Bowdon! College
K. James Caviston '79
A new fraternity ruling at Bowdoin,
increasing rush to ten days, gave many
freshmen an opportunity to see the
Lodge during its more relaxed moments.
The ruling proved fruitful. Under the
leadership of chairperson Sue Sokoloski
'78. Chi Psi had the most successful rush
on campus. We gained seventeen new
brothers as well as twenty-nine new
members. The brothers include: Mark
Kulp '79, Ames Ziegra '79, Mike Arel
'80, Michael Connor '80, Kenneth Fine
'80, F. Mark Gregory '80, Marvin Green
'80, Michael Haves '80, Douglas Henry

Murphy '80, Charles Nussbaum '80,
Anthony Ronno '80, Stephen Shriner '80,
and Timothy Wilson '80.
During the first formal house meeting
we resummoned Paul Young '79 as #3,
voted in Tom McNamara '78 as #2. and
expressed our unanimous confidence in
our #1 Dave Binswanger '78.
We were all saddened by hearing
about the death of Brother Glenn
McIntire '23. For those who knew Glenn.
we realize we have lost a personification
of the very spirit of Chi Psi Fraternity to
which we are endeared. Brothers who
wish to send their condolences to his wife
Marguerite should write to 9 Page St.,

ALPHA PHI
Hamilton College
Phillip William Barnhill '77
Alpha Phi of Chi Psi is once again off
to a financially sound and active fall
semester. We had a very good turnout at
our fall corporation meeting in October
with many alumni returning to the
Lodge. It is a good feeling for the actives
to know that they are supported not only
by the recent graduates but also by
alumni from the classes of the 30's, 40's,
and 50's.
During the corporation meeting. Phi
decided to move strongly in the direction
of a major fund raising drive to be held
sometime next year. The proceeds from
the fund drive are drastically needed to
replace plumbing, electrical wiring, and
a roof for our old but much admired
Lodge.
Rushing started October 14th and will
continue until the end of January. If our
success ratio continues to be as strong as
it has been in the recent past we will look
forward to another pledge class of at
least fifteen men.

Life in Ann Arbor this fall remains
consistent with the previous few, but
within the stately walls of Chi Psi, things
are changing, especially in athletics and
house unity. This is particularly en-
couraging in light of the tragic loss of
our beloved Brother and #1, Pete Haber-
korn, not to mention the turmoil that
existed in the later months of the last
winter term.
Undercurrents of tension have fallen
off to stronger bonds of friendship and
a general feeling of optimism has taken
root.
In the line of sports. the softball team
displayed moments of brilliance, for in-
stance, overcoming an eight run deficit
late in the first play-off game ? at last
gaining athletic respectability!
On October 14, we were honored to
have President-elect Oliver Rowe grace
us with his inspiring words and charis-
mic personality. Indeed, when he left
Ann Arbor the following clay, he left
some of his dynamic enthusiasm with
every member of the lodge.
In the kitchen the new steward, John
Ross. has things well in hand, including
this year's new gourmet cook, a foxy
little dish from Ohio.
Fall rush so far has resulted in the ac-
quisition of two admirable pledges,
Gernot Joachim and Jim Shaw, due to
the fine efforts of rush chairman, Ian
Callum.

ALPHA SIGMA

Gregory Nye '77
Alpha Sigma's Brothers arrived in
Chapel Hill late in August knowing that
new leaders would have to emerge this
year and continue the fine traditions of
the Lodge. The impressive achievements
of last year and the subsequent sweep of
convention awards this past summer
served as a reminder of what the Lodge
can be. The Brothers set out to make the
Lodge even better this year.
This semester, three new social chair-
men, Clint Corrie, Les Hamashima and
Paul Brown, took over the job of plan-
ning of the social calendar. Staley Moore
began organizing Parents' Weekend.
Louis Edmonds made plans to keep the
Brothers busy on numerous workdays to
maintain the reputation of the Lodge as
the nicest place to live on campus. Mike
Egan and Larry Gellerstedt began train-
ing programs involving nearly the entire
Lodge for the coming intramural season.
Tom Terrell and Tom Temple worked
hard to get the best possible rushees over
to the Lodge during rush, which was
rewarded in eleven outstanding pledges.
The Coffee House held in late Septem-
ber gave the Brothers the opportunity to
demonstrate their various talents, from
song and dance to juggling. With results
from last semester's academic work in,
Sigma regained its leadership among
fraternities with an average of 3.3 on a
4.0 scale. Brothers Egan and Gellerstedt
have succeeded in getting the Brothers
out of the library and onto the intra-
mural field ? at least long enough to
take a first in volleyball and a second in
the track meet.
With the new leadership in the Lodge
this semester, it appears that Sigma is
maintaining its reputation as the best
fraternity at the University.
ALPHA BETA

Alpha Beta initiated seven Brothers on
October 16. They are Paul Dennis Way,
Donald Wayne Havaird, David Randall
Lewis, William R. Von Harten, Jr.,
Joseph Charles Scoville, James Patrick
Robertson. John Steven Hill.
On October 9, Alpha Beta had its
annual Homecoming Drop-In which
turned out to be very successful. Many
alumni came to the occasion to meet new
Brothers as well as to see some of the old
ones.
Several weeks ago Alpha Beta spon-
ority. Through the hard work of Chair-
man Pruitt Martin, we raised nearly 100
pints of blood. Also, this semester we
installed a new study program for the
pledges in which the University instructs
them on how to study. Several Brothers
are also participating in the program.
ALPHA GAMMA
University (1/ IV!
13ill Lewis '77
Gamma is really excited about this
school year. Coming out of Convention
with the honors we received, we went into
rush with a fired-up attitude, and
pledged 32 of the best men that went
through rush.
Improvements at Gamma have com-
pletely reworked the thermostat system;
put in more insulation; recarpeted parts
of the Lodge; repainted the entire in-
terior of the Lodge, and rebuilt our
pantry and fireplace. Thanks to our loyal
alumni who offered us a $24000 match-
ing grant, we were able to instigate these
repairs.
Gamma was most honored when Pres-
ident-elect Brother Oliver R. Rowe,
Sigma '25, paid us a visit during rush.
The night of our pledge banquet he pre-
sented his "Program for Excellence,"
which impressed the new pledges and
brothers alike.
Gamma is now in the process of work-
ing on several major projects. Com-
munity service heads the list. For Hal-
loween, the Brothers of Gamma, along
with Pi Beta Phi Sorority, gave a party
for the children at the North Miss. Men-
tal Retardation Center. For Christmas,
we are working on some fund raising
events to help the under-priviledged
children of Oxford. We are also working
with the University on an academic pro-
gram for both pledges and actives. All
should be most fulfilling.
We welcome all Brothers to the Lodge
at Gamma at any time. Our doors are
always open. Stop by and visit soon.

The present year holds all the indica-
tors for a bright and eventful future for
the Lodge at Virginia.
We started the year with a work week
where pledges and actives did the neces-
sary housecleaning to put the house in
prime condition. In addition to the usual
painting and yardwork, many rooms
were given special touches by their new
tenants. Most notable is "Little Italy"
which now boasts an impressive loft
thanks to Phil Boudreau '79 and Jerry
Farmer '79. The physical appearance of
the Lodge as maintained by house man-
ager, Sky Alland '79, can only be over-

Homecoming Weekend proved to be
a high point of the semester. In addition
to the night time band parties, the actives
and alumni were treated to a pre-game
pig roast. The highlight of the day was
the presentation of a silver platter to
Bill Hearns to commemorate his 25th
year with the Lodge. Bill was extremely
appreciative and he delighted in seeing
all of the returning alumni.
Typically, rush is the most important
period during first semester. Under the
direction of rush chairman, Jeff Kauf-
man '78 the Lodge came out of the rush
with one of the largest and best quality
pledge classes of any house on the
grounds. Twenty-three bids were re-
turned and the event was celebrated at
a formal dinner followed by a cocktail
party. This was definitely our best rush
in many years and the Lodge will reap
the benefits of this supreme effort for
many years to come,
Due to the hard work of many actives
especially #4. Jeff Henry '77. the Lodge
is pointed in the direction of strength
and prosperity. All alumni are welcome
to visit at any time or just write and say
hello. Look for the next "Omichronical."
ALPHA PSI
Cornell University
Joe Lynch '78
The youngest class of Alpha Psi is per-
haps the most varied group of new initi-
ates in the history of the Lodge. Covering
ground on the football field are Dave
Rupert. Steve Caputi, Mike Tanner,
Frank Santamaria, Bruce McMahon,
and Dave Kintgh. Returning to the
NCAA championship lacrosse team are
Joe Szombathy and Riley McDonald,
while Scott Pickens and Tom Bishop
man oars for the lightweight and heavy-
weight crew teams respectively. Mike
Williams, Kevin Halloran, and Pete Call
are representing the Cornell cagers and
Joe Magid, recently recovering from a
shoulder operation. specializes in the still
rings for the gymnastic squad.
Despite this concentration in organ-
ized sports, Alpha Psi has put together
impressive intramural teams in football.
soccer, basketball, volleyball, hockey,
softball, swimming, track, wrestling,
badminton, and lacrosse, and with each
passing week the I.F.C. All Sports
Trophy looms ever closer.
Focusing the activities of our diversi-
fied Brotherhood is Jerry Krushin,
present #1 and the remainder of the exec-
utive committee. Thus far, our social
functions, including Homecoming, sev-
eral banquets, a surprise party for the
football team following their victory over
Harvard, and a few rush functions have
been very successful and the future
promises more of the same. Indeed, 1976
should be an enjoyable and extremely
worthwhile year at Alpha Psi.

ALPHA NU

On October 9th many alumni came
back to Alpha Nu for Homecoming.
With an active-alumni football game
and a Gopher victory, the day was as
good as any. A pancake breakfast was
put on by the pledges and a dance that
evening made for a thoroughly enjoyable
time.
This fall Nu has 25 pledges. Although
they slightly outnumber the active body,
we expect an excellent group of men due
mostly to the complete revamping of our
old, outdated pledge training methods.
In sports, besides the usual fall IM
teams in football and swimming, we now
have a soccer team. Although not doing
very well in the standings both the foot-
ball and soccer teams have an unprece-
dented high level of enthusiasm.
Initiation is scheduled for the week of
December 3rd with the formal dance on
December 4th at the St. Paul Athletic
Club. Everyone is, of course, welcome.
See you there.

Alpha Rho was very honored to have
as its guest this fall, Oliver R. Rowe.
Brother Rowe spent two days with us
and, in that short time, exchanged with
us many ideas of fraternity in general,
and more specifically, his most worth-
while "Program for Excellence". Oliver's
visit to Rho will be remembered as a
period of admiration and inspiration for
our brother who has done so much for
our fraternity and he leaves us a great
deal of inspiration, not only to be better
Chi Psis, but better men. Brother Rowe's
visit concluded when he presented the
fraternity's Distinguished Service Award
to Brother Tilford G. (Gerry) Wharton,
at a banquet held in Brother Wharton's
honor.
Alumni relations is a topic which has
been of great concern to Alpha Rho this
year. Brother Wharton is only one of the
many honored and distinguished Rho
alumni whom we, as actives, would be
honored to know and share our fraternal
experiences with. This fall we sent out
questionnaires to many of our alumni
and held post-football game receptions,
all for the purpose of getting to know our
alumni more closely. Brotherhood is
something we all have in common from
the day we are initiated until the day we
die; actives and alumni sharing their
experiences can only strengthen that
brotherhood.
ALPHA XI

Alpha Xi, led by Brother Ken Skor-
enko '78, has started off this term with
an outstanding pledge class of thirteen
men. We are certain that these men will
become fine Brothers under the inspired
leadership of Brother Robert Platt, '78.
Socially, this looks to be a fine year
with many parties and social events.
Highlights include Chi Psi Weekend
held the weekend of November 12, which
featured a cocktail party, a band party,
and a Broadway play. Also planned are
a Casino Night and an Alumni party.
In late October, we had a Halloween
party.
Athletically, the Lodge is having a
good season. Currently, we are in second
place in football and in first place in
ping pong. Playing for Stevens from the
Lodge are five lacrosse players and three
ning to insulate the attic. Other than
that there is nothing in need of repair.
We are still receiving fine cooperation
from our Alumni Association led by Bro-
ther Dale Jacquish, Xi '70 and from our
Parents' Club. This should be a very suc-
cessful semester.
ALPHA ALPHA DELTA
University of Georgia
Glen Joanis '79
A strong fall rush highlighted a prom-
ising quarter at Alpha Delta. During this
time we gained twenty pledges.
These will be the first pledges to par-
ticipate in our revised pledge and Big
Brother program. Basically, the program
involves a more informal method of
training the pledges in their duties and
responsibilities as they progress toward
becoming brothers. Also, the brother-
hood will be more responsible for spend-
ing more time with each pledge so that
both may have a better opportunity to
get acquainted.
House improvements including instal-
lation of a new sanitary system, painting
several rooms, and adding shrubbery to
the yard have all been successful projects
around the lodge.
In sports, Alpha Delta is continuing
its winning tradition. The football team
is undefeated after three games. We are
also excelling in tennis and there is an
excellent chance that our singles and
doubles teams will be league champs.
Academically, Alpha Delta is doing
very well also, with several brothers being
named to national honoraries and How-
ell Haunson, #1, being named to Grid-
iron Secret Society.
Fall quarter 1976 is every bit as pros-
perous as we hoped it would be and we
hope that any brothers and alumni who
are in the area will stop by to see us. The
invitation is always open.

They were supervised by #2, Rob Abele,
who also helped them paini: walls and

pating in community service. We held
our annual Halloween party for under-
privileged children with the Gamma

Lodge and were treated to a party after-
wards.
Intramurals are playing an important
part in Chi Psi's schedule. Our football
team is faring well with wrestling, bowl-
ing and volleyball starting soon.
Other activities this year have included
weekly functions, the selection of a court
and a Casino night housedance. A re-
treat on the McKenzie River is being
planned with the Alpha Phis.
A special invitation is extended to all
Brothers who may be in the area to stop

largest pledge class in many years.
Delta Delta has two alumni events
planned for the near future. The first
will be the annual Alumni-Family day
held before the Stanford-Cal, Big-game,

A healthy dose of black ink in last

what promises to be an outstanding
year for Alpha Epsilon Delta. Besides
catching up with the cost of living, there
has been a lot of internal investment in
the Lodge, including a new TV, two
sofas, carpeting, and fresh paint all over.
After a particularly industrious Clean-
up Week, the twenty returning Brothers
pledged eight very capable and enthu-
siastic new men. The Brothers and
pledges are currently continuing with a
strong informal rush, as well as rushing
our second class of Little Sisters and had
a successful Homecoming Weekend.
Also, Chi Psi IM teams are currently
undefeated, with the football team 2-0,
and the coed volleyball team 1-0.
The Brothers would like to invite all
actives and alumni to initiation, which is
tentatively scheduled for January 6.

Excitement at Alpha Psi Delta has
continued from last semester. The new
actives in the Lodge are the main reason.
Our fall pledge class brought in 13
outstanding potential brothers. It helps
carry forth our feelings that quality is
the most vital attribute of a pledge class.
The new pledges are: Chris Larson,
Westport, CT; Andy Makhobey, Little-
ton, CO; Jim Moran, Centreville, VA;
John Awald. Lakewood, CO: John

We were honored to have the Alpha
Psi Delta Directors over for dinner last
month. Many of the brothers had an op-
portunity to meet the members of the in-
tegral group behind the scenes at Psi

concluded the evening.
Our goal this semester is to increase
alumni participation in the Lodge. We
invite all alumni to stop by the Lodge in
Boulder and once again become part of

Alumni participation has increased as
demonstrated by the enthusiastic turnout
at last year's Alumni-Active Beerball
game, which the Alumni narrowly won.
The annual Alumni-Active Football
game was held this quarter. House im
provements have continued, following
last year's renovation of the living room
and card room. The renovation of the

implementation of such a program.
Comprehensive in scope, our program
intends not to leave one stone unturned
in our quest for excellence. Encompas-

Levings had the opportunity to meet
firsthand our twelve new pledges and to
encourage many prospective pledges to

The fall semester began with news that
Chi Delta substantially improved its
grade average last spring. This semester.
all indications are that Chi Psi at Clem-
son will again move up in academic
achievement.
Fall Rush has brought four outstand-
ing men to Chi Delta. This pledge class,
each member of which is well on his
way to becoming a Chi Psi gentleman, is
set to be initiated on the weekend of
January 7-4th.
Chi Delta is proud of its fund raising
project this fall. Through the sale of'
school spirit bumper stickers, the bro-
thers and pledges plan to raise well over
$1000. As has been Chi Delta's tradition.
great portion of these funds will be do-
nated to the National Cystic Fibrosis
Research Foundation.
As always, we urge anyone who is in
the area to drop by Norris Hall and say
hello.

What's Happening at
Theta ? Williams College?
Rumor told us that fraternities are re-
turning to Williams College. Alumni of
Alpha Theta, upon hearing this rumor
have been firing questions to the Central
Office about their old Alpha. Realizing
their concern, a staff member went to
Williams to personally investigate the
situation. To provide the source of these
rumors, a little background is appro-
priate.
Last spring, a group formed at Wil-
liams and called itself the Adelphic
Literary Society. The Society then peti-
tioned the Alpha Delta Phi International
to discuss the possibility of a reformation
of the Williams chapter of Alpha Delta
Phi. An article discussing this matter
appeared in the Alpha Delta Phi news-
letter, a copy of which reached the Chi
Psi Central Office.
On the day before the Chi Psi staff
member visited Williams College in
early October, the Adelphic Literary
Society had officially disband. Excerpts
from a letter written by the Society read:
"Those Students having formerly
participated in the activities of an organ-
ization known as the Adelphic Literary
Society wish to inform and assure the
College that the group has dissolved it-
self and that its members have dis-
banded . . .
"We have informed the national orga-
nization that our society will cease to
exist on or off the Williams College
campus. The Adelphic Literary Society
never recieved a charter as an Alpha
Delta Phi fraternity. Additionally, none
of its present undergraduate members
were ever initiated into the fraternity."
The Williams Record, the newspaper
of' the College, paraphased Dean Peter
Berek. Dean of Williams, stating "The
College 'respectfully and forcefully re-
quested' that the fraternity cease 'inter-
fering in the internal affairs' of Wil-
liams."
Upon arrival in Williamstown, the Chi
Psi staff member was introduced to Dean
Berek. Dean Berek assured Chi Psi that
Williams is not ready for the return of
fraternities nor will it ever be in the
future. Dean Berek expressed particular
concern and distress at any fraternal or-
ganization that would operate sub rosa.
Dean Berek justified himself stating that
Williams experienced incompatibility
with the fraternity system in the sixties
proving an incompatibility with the fra-
ternity system now and any time in the
future. Dean Berek was also quoted in
the Williams Record, as saying "The
College 'would have to take appropriate
action' if students turned to fraterni-
ties." A study at Williams conducted by
the Committee on Undergraduate Life
revealed that only 7% of the student
body favored a return of the fraternity
system.
To summarize the situation at Wil
Hams, President Chandler of Williams
College characterized the return of fra-
ternities as resulting in "a great deal of
diverted energy and attention that would
do no one any good."
Finally, Dean Berek quoted specifi-
cally to our staff member during their
meeting from the Williams College Stu-
dent Handbook: "Participation by un-
dergraduates in fraternities at Williams
College is prohibited as a matter of edu-
cational policy."
The Central Office can only assure
alumni of Theta that we will keep tabs
on the situation, dreary as it may look at
this point.
Trust's Pilot Program: Career Internship
Chi Psi Educational Trust approved
a new pilot program which it calls the
Career Internship Program. Five under-
graduates will be selected to test this
pilot program next summer. The Central
Office will seek an appropriate intern-
ship through Chi Psi Alumni able to pro-
vide such an opportunity to these under-
graduates. To establish an internship,
the Central Office will provide alumni a
description of goals the Trust would like
the internship to accomplish and ask for
suggestions as to how the internship
position might be developed in their
organizations. Through this, the pro-
gram hopes to establish a close relation-
ship between the Chi Psi alumnus and
the undergraduate will benefit from
close work with an alumnus actively
involved at a high level of a business or
a professional career. The undergrad-
uate can then evaluate his own desires
for such a career and measure himself
against the demands of that career.
Chi Psi has some 17,000 alumni in a
variety of occupations and professions.
The Trust feels that Chi Psi Fraternity
can provide the common link to join the
undergraduates to alumni with intern-
ships to offer. The Trust also feels that
most universities lack "experiential edu-
cation" for their students and that such
an internship program will be an inval-
uable supplement to an undergraduate's

As of September, the Chi Psi Educa-
tional Trust successfully completed rais-
ing contributions from alumni and
Foundations to match the $50.000 per
year, ten-year challenge gill from the
Temple Buell Foundation. In conjunc-
tion with this matching gift program, the
Trustees have committed themselves to
a substantial capital effort to increase
the Trust to live times its current size.
The motivation for this capital effort be-
gan with the Buell Challenge Gift, and
has been encouraged by many alumni
and foundations nationwide who are
expressing willingness to give to the
Trust to promote and extend experien-
tial programs available to undergrad-
uates and alumni of Chi Psi.
The Chi Psi Educational Trust, a pub-
lic foundation, is a tax-exempt vehicle
that can be of great help in promoting
educational opportunities lOr college
undergraduates. The Trust has tra-
ditionally offered scholarships and aca-
demic improvement awards, and over
the past 15 years has been active in sup-
porting and promoting the addition of
library and study facilities to Chi Psi
Lodges. Since 1965, the Trust has spon-
sored a motivation achievement pro-
gram, called the "Program for Self-
Development", which has been ac-
claimed and copied by other fraternities.
Because of the effectiveness of this self-
development program, the Trustees
are increasing support for the program
to further its effectiveness by providing
follow-up sessions to the initial weekend
seminar.
In an ellOrt to keep the programs of
I he Trust current with the needs of
today's undergraduates. the Trustees
are now in the process of establishing
new program emphases. The Trustees
recognize that Chi Psi is in a unique
position, having membership of both
undergraduateti and alumni, to comple-
ment the academic programs offered by
most universities. In an effort to take
advantage of this position, the Trustees
are establishing a Career Internship Pro-
gram, which would bring Chi Psi under-
graduates and alumni together in pro-
moting experiential education.
The Trustees also see that the fra-
ternity experience comes at an important
time in the moral growth of its under-
graduate members, and the Trustees are
Abridged Council Business

investigating the development of pro-
grams which would provide students
with appropriate models and experiences
for moral and social development in the
early part of their academic experience.
Moving into these areas. the Trustees
recognize that their program commit-
ments will increase substantially, making
an increase in the endowment of the
"Frost necessary to properly develop and
implement these programs. We arc
therefore developing a major campaign
to re-endow the Trust to prepare the
Trust for its increasing commitments to
college-level educational assistance.
Our $10 million goal will be reached
by ten-year gifts in the following yearly
amounts:
Two gifts at $100,000
Seven gifts at $50,000
?twenty gifts at $10,000
Forty gills at $5,(X)0
Fifty gifts at $1,000
In this effort, the Trustees will be con
-
Luling all the many brothers who have
continually supported the Trust's work,
and those brothers who are in positions
to assist with contributions from both
foundations and corporations which
would like to join the Trust in using the
fraternity as a unique structure for pro-
moting intellectual and moral develop-
ment. We recognize that we have both
the opportunity and the obligation.' to
develop programs which would increase
the experiential basis of our under-
graduate educational programs.
Over the next several issues of the
PURPLE & GOLD, we will provide ad-
ditional information about the program
directions of the Trust. and the fund
raising plan being developed to imple-
ment those programs. The 'Frost has
great potential for affecting the intellec-
tual, moral and social growth of college
students. We ask the support of all our
brothers in our ellOrt to achieve that
potential.

Does a Brisk Trade
In the Works of Mao
Store's American Owner Shuns
Politics; Red China Doesn't
Mind Not Getting Its Money
NIALL,STRLET JOURNAL

By HUGH SPITZER
Staff Reporter of Tim WALL STREET. JOURNAL
SAN FRANCISCO ? Posters of Chairman
Mao plaster the shop's walls. The Peking Op-
era's version of "The East Is Red" plays on a
phonograph. Bookshelves are jammed with the
works of Mao?including copies of the famous
"little red book" in :30 languages.
The store could be in Canton or Peking, but
it happens to be a Yankee enterprise called,
China Books and Periodicals. From its quar-
ters in the Mission District of San Francisco,
China Books does a booming nationwide busi-
ness in publications, posters and phonograph
records put out by Red China.
One reason the store does well is that it's
one of only two U.S. concerns that are licensed I
by the Treasury Department to import pub-
lished material from Communist China. (The
other license holder is China Publications of
New York.)
Another reason for China Books' success is
that the paraphernalia of Maoism are very
?much the rage these days among young people,
particularly those who align themselves with
the radical student movement. China Books'
hottest selling items are buttons with Mao's
picture on them and the little red
books, officially titled "Quotations from Chair-
man Mao Tse-tung." The store also does? a
brisk traffic in books and pamphlets on the
techniques of guerrilla warfare.
500,000 Publications a Year
The store's owner is a tall, friendly 58-year-
old named Robert Noyes. Mr. Noyes, who says
he is apolitical, started his firm nine years ago
in Chicago with 5200 and the import license,
and now he says he sells more than 500,000
books and magazines a year.
China Books regularly supplies Red Chinese
literature to libraries, colleges and individual
China scholars. It even gets orders from the
U.S. military services, as well as from politi-
cally oriented groups on both the far left and
far right. Though it maintains a retail opera-
tion, most of its business consists of wholesal-
ing to some 1,000 bookstore customers scat-
tered around the U.S.
"Awareness of the differences between
China and Russia and China's development of
the H-bomb have both contributed to the in-
creasing interest in China in this country,",
says Mr. Noyes. "We've grown with that inter-
est."
China Books gets all English-language pub-
lications put out by Peking's :Guozi Shudian, or
China Publications Center, as well as some
Chinese-language classics that have been ap-
proved for distribution by the Communist re:
gime. The English-language books range from
slick, lavishly illustrated volumes on art or
travel ("China?Land of Charm and Beauty")
to heavy tomes on Maoist theory ("Training
Successors for the Revolution Is the Party's
Strategic Task.") Approved For Rel

There are even children's bedtime stories
with a revolutionary twist. A book called "I
Am on Duty Today" follows a toddler sporting
a red armband as she does her daily chores?
helping her little brother dress, feeding the
rabbits and obeying her teacher at school, all
according to the thoughts of Mao.
Money Never :Reaches China
Though China Books regularly pays out
money for the books it sells, the funds never
reach Red China. Because Federal law prohib-
its any transactions that would put U.S. dollars
into Red Chinese hands, all income due the Pe-
king publishing house is held in blocked ac-
counts in U.S. hanks here.
"But China's main interest is having its ma-
terials read abroad, though they wouldn't mind
being paid some day," says Mr. Noyes.
Because of the touchy nature .of relations,
between the U.S. and Red China., Mr. Noyes
makes a point of remaining personally aloof
from politics, both domestic and international.
He says he has a "full understanding" of
Marxism and has "studied the socialist system
in China with great interest and concern." But
he adds that he strictly avoids political involve-
ment "because it's inappropriate in this busi-
ness."
Mr. Noyes' interest in China is a long-stand-
ing one. He was born there and lived his first
eight years with his Presbyterian missionary
parents in Canton. He later won bachelor's and
master's degrees in English from the Univer-.
sity of Toronto and a doctorate from the Uni-
versity of London. He wrote three novels at
night while working during the day as a. tool.
and die maker, but none Were published. (He
continues, however, to write poetry as a
h,obby.)
When an old friend who had imported
Chinese publications during tile 195ns suggested
that Mr. Noyes take over the business, he
:jumped at the opportunity. "It seemed a natu-
ral thing lo do," he says, "China has always
been like a second home."
Mr. Noyes put his wife and two teen-aged -
children to work filling orders. When the busi-
ness grew too large for their Chicago home in :
1963, they moved to San Francisco and opened
the shop. His wife and children, now grown,
still, are his only full4ime .employes.

Students protest CIA
The Chicano Associated Student
Organization (CASO) is holding a
peaceful protest in front of Ford Hall
at Highlands today to dampen CIA
recruitment of minority students.
Levi Borunda, speaking for CASO,
said the organization feels the CIA
recruits Latinos and other minority
groups to infiltrate and dismember
S minority organizations.
CASO reportedly heard of today's
CIA recruitment plans nearly two
weeks ago and scheduled the
protest.
"We hope to have slowed down the
recruiting process" Borunda
commented. 'I think we've been
pretty effective.. .we have a lot of
support from the student body and

"If you can't lick 'em, join 'em". This is the policy that lurks behind the mask of devotion to Human
Rights which conceals the present program of progressive surrender to communism.
Out of one side of his mouth the President tells of his devotion to Human Rights. Out of the other he
assures those who deny human rights to their people that he will do nothing about it. "There is no
linkage," he emphasizes. This only applies to enemies as action is definitely taken against friendly
countries where human rights are slighted.
Cuba is riding high. The Cuban military forces form the mercenary army of the Soviet Union which
provides the guns and weapons the Cuban forces use and the money to pay the troops. It is reported
that the Soviet Union is subsidizing Cuba to the extent of $3 million per day. The Soviet Union can
give this money because of the credits granted them by the capitalist world to buy the goods produced
by the capitalist system and which now exceed $40 billion. The Cuban forces, paid servants of the
Soviet, conquer Angola and impose a minority Communist Government on the Angola people. Angola
then serves as a sanctuary for communist-influenced and led rebels to invade Zaire. Thus the malig-
nant process proceeds.
The Cuban conquest of Angola is serving as a model for the conquest of other African states as Cuban
troops are based in African countries which are favorable to the Soviet Union to train and lead, or
prepare to lead, troops for the conquest of neighbors. The trustworthy English journal, THE ECONO-
MIST, reports that a major military and economic partnership is developing between Cuba and Libya.
Cuban tank crews and advisers will help Libya absorb the massive new deliveries of Soviet equipment
while Libya will give Cuba part of her large oil revenues. The deal will involve 5,000-7,500 Cuban
troops in Libya who will consist mostly of tank crews, infantrymen and pilots, and their primary duty
will be to train Libyans to utilize advanced Soviet weapons systems. While the Libyan Army will
exercise formal command, the orders will come from the Russian officers in charge of the reconstruction
of the Libyan army.
Castro and Oaddafi, the Libyan dictator, are reported to have agreed that their military partnership
will operate in future ventures in Africa and the Middle East. They are also reported to have agreed
to cooperate in accelerating their training of international terrorists in Cuba and Libya.
Qaddafi has offered Castro $250 million for the first year and larger sums later, accepting sugar as
repayment.
Human Rights in Cuba
This is a strange time to be adding to Cuba's capacity to extend world communism by military force.
The Cuban record in the field of human rights is appalling.
Consider the question of Political Prisoners. There is general agreement that the number is very large

and estimates range from 5,000 to 100,000 as shown in the following table:
HOW MANY POLITICAL PRISONERS?
How many political prisoners are there in Cuba now?
Estimates vary widely.
?The U.S. State Department and the International Res-
cue Committee, among others, estimate 20,000. This is the
same figure Fidel Castro gave American journalist Lee
Lockwood in mid-I965.
?The National Council of Churches says the figure is
now 10,000.
?Some members of Miami's Cuban exile community use
figures estimating political prisoners in excess of 100,000.
?Frank Greve and Miguel Perez of the Miami Herald
have written extensively on Cuban political prisoners. They
estimate there are approximately 20,000-5,000 from the
Revolution's first six years, and the remaining 15,000
arrested since 1965. But, they add, "nobody really
knows."
?In a July, 1975, speech Castro spoke of the 5,000
pre-1965 political prisoners, saying that 3,000 are in
reeducation camps and 2,000 remain in prisons. Two
thousand was the same figure cited by a foreign ministry
official to Alton Frye, senior fellow of the Council on
Foreign Relations, when Frye visited Cuba in August,
1976.
-00ther estimates include those of the Journal de Geneve,
which reported that there were some 50,000 political
prisoners in March, 1976. In June, 1975, the Washington
Post published an estimate of 25,000-50,000.
?Another responsible scholar of Cuban prisoner issues,
Frank Calzon, points out that periodic waves of political
arrests and prisoner releases indicate the total number of
Cubans who have experienced the political prisons may be
significantly larger than any present or past incarceration
figure.
'The Anmesty International Report for 1975-1976 esti-
mates "approximately 4,000-5,000" current political
prisoners in Cuba. This estimate, the report says, was
"based on recent Cuban government statements to visitors
and public speeches by officials." Amnesty uses the same
approximate figure, "less than 5,000," for estimating the
current number of political prisoners in Chile.
WORLDV1EW / JANUARY! FEBRUARY 1977
The precise number is difficult to obtain as Cuba does not permit investigations by delegations of
neutral or hostile newsmen, attorneys, etc. as Chile does. The paradox is that the more independent
investigators are excluded from a country, the better press that country receives. This is because an
investigative reporter can receive much more publicity for an expose' based upon interviews with
political prisoners than he can for a report that he has been denied permission to visit and interview
prisoners. The relative freedom Chile grants to outside investigators accounts in considerable measure
for the bad press Chile continues to receive in this country.
Nevertheless, reports of the deplorable conditions of political prisoners in Cuba periodically appear.
One such report is the January-February editon of WORLDVIEW, which is published by the Council
on Religion and International Affairs which is predominantly liberal. This account is entitled "The
Yellow Uniforms of Cuba", and the author is Theodore Jacqueney. He writes:
" 'In Cuba, political prisoners wear yellow uniforms', the wife of one prisoner told me in
Havana. Originally, the color was meant to be punitive--the same color worn by the army of
defeated dictator Fulgencio Batista, with obvious implications. 'In the late 1960's,' said
another political prisoner's relative, 'when my father was with Huber Matos and others in Cinco
Y Medio prison, located five-and-a-half miles from Pinar Del Rio, a prison director tried to
require political prisoners to change to the blue uniforms worn by common criminals. Led by
Matos and his cell mates, political prisoners protested being lumped with common criminals, and
refused to wear the blue uniforms. They were severely beaten.' Some political prisoners then
accepted the new color, but Matos and his followers never relented. 'They were forced to go
without any clothes at all for four months. The guards said that if they refused the blue uniforms
they must go naked.
" 'After four months they were permitted to wear undershorts--nothing else, not even shoes. They
lived like this, in their underwear, for more than a year more--four months without any clothes,
and more than a year with only undershorts. At the end, sometime in 1968, they were given the
yellow uniforms again and transferred to Boniato Prison in Oriente province--where we hear that
many prisoners are killed, even today. Matos and the others had opposed Batista, fought against

him in every way. They had no affection for the old regime at all. But now the government
has changed the meaning of a yellow uniform?for us it is now a uniform of honor.'

"In early October, 1976, I spent a week in Cuba interviewing released political prisoners, fami-
lies and friends of still-detained political prisoners, and other underground opponents of Fidel
Castro's government. Havana authorities do not grant entry visas to people known to be interested
in questions of oppression and human rights in Cuba--for years officials of Amnesty International,
the worldwide political prisoner relief organization, the Red Cross, the Organization of American
States, and others have unsuccessfully sought permission to visit political prisoners. When a
friend suggested that I join a group of progressive Republican Ripon Society members invited to
tour Cuba, I neglected to mention the full range of my interests to Cuban U.N. officials charged
with clearing visitors.
"Once in Havana I rarely went on the thoughtfully programmed official tours. Instead, after
the others had left for scheduled trips, I visited people to whom I had brought introductions. One
interview with a group of obviously frightened women who had overcome their fears to talk to me
set the tone for many of my conversations in Cuba: The first words spoken after my contact intro-
duced me were, 'What do you hear in America about our political prisoners?' Another time a
man who carefully described himself as a 'center-leftist,' suddenly blurted out, 'When I heard
on a foreign radio broadcast of the Organization of American States investigating political pris-
oners in Chile, I cried. Why don't they come here and look into our political prisoners who have
been treated as harshly as in Chile and have been in prison so much longer?'
"Through people like these I was able to send and receive messages from political prisoners held
in maximum security, and from them I learned that for about a month prior to my October visit,
political prisoners in LaCabana Prison, near Havana, had been rejecting the food normally
brought to them by the guards because the quality was 'so rotten.' ...'Rotting maize porridge
served with salt and water twice daily, with rice, meat, fish, and vegetables served only rarely,
producing severe protein deficiencies,' I was told. There are approximately four hundred politi-
cal prisoners--called plantados--held in LaCabana's subterranean 'galleries' (long, narrow prison
wards sleeping about sixty to seventy men in tiered bunk beds in LaCabana Prison, one hundred
or more in other prisons, usually with one toilet per ward).
The Case of Huber Matos
"I communicated with cell mates of Huber Matos in LaCabana Prison. Perhaps the best known
Cuban political prisoner, Matos is a onetime Amnesty International 'political prisoner of the
year.' He was a ranking commander in Castro's rebel army and became a military commander
of Camaguey province in January, 1959, immediately following revolutionary victory. Ten
months later he resigned, protesting increased Communist domination of the new regime, and
was arrested on the now ironic charge of 'slandering the Revolution by calling it 'Communist,'
a charge later changed to 'treason'. Sentenced to twenty years, Matos has been kept in various
political prisons since October, 1959. Matos has been held incommunicado for the past six years.
Members of his family in Cuba, including his father who now is over ninety years old, have re-
peatedly tried to visit Matos during this period--all unsuccessfully.
"The 'Matos cell' was described to me as sixty square meters, underground. During the past six
years between seven and sixteen men have been crowded into the cell. Seven are there now.
The Matos cell is said to be kept in total darkness--a canvas sheet woven over the cell's two

windows to block the daylight has been replaced by metal sheets which keep the room darker,
hotter, and more humid than ever. An interior hall provides the cell's only ventilation. The men
are permitted to see sunlight only three days per week, for two-hour periods. 'In the summer they
have to carry water into the cell to pour over themselves. Otherwise they could not live because
of the heat,' I was told.
"Almost every LaCabana prisoner has allegedly suffered the loss of many teeth, and a few have
lost them all. Prisoners are also infected by rats, mice, and 'all kinds of insects.' A kind of
biting bedbug was described as particularly troublesome. From the Matos cell prisoners report
steadily worsening vision loss caused by lack of light, limb paralysis, hair and eyebrow hair loss,
stomach ulcers, and circulation problems. Another disturbing health crisis was described to me
as extreme 'nervousness,' with symptoms explained as uncontrollable head-flickings, eye-dartings,
rapid gestures, and sleeplessness--some in the Matos cell are reported to wake up screaming
through the night--symptoms possibly caused by long-term, closely packed, dark, hot, damp liv-
ing conditions." (Pages 4 and 5)
The following is a letter from Huber Matos:
LETTER FROM A HAVANA PRISON
Huber Matos
If the spiritual state is holding up I cannot say the same
for my physical state. I am old and ailing. I am a shadow of
the man who entered prison in October 1959. Most of my
hair has fallen out, and what remains is gray or white. Deep
lines run from my eyes to chin. My thick dark eyebrows
have completely disappeared. Only 56 years old, but I look
like an old man.
The ups and downs of my health remind me of those old
worn-out suits which, despite their many patches, still have
a hole here and there. The good thing is that my spirit has no
holes, nor will I allow them. And if my hair has fallen out,
my energies have not gone with my hair. Privation and
suffering, however hard, cannot undermine my spirit.
Even so, in recent months I have had the unpleasant
experience of losing the use of my left arm, the result of an
occurrence you already know about. Having experienced
for a year and a half the loss of feeling in my arm, it became
obvious that my shoulder had atrophied. I have been visited
by more than one doctor, amongst them a captain, a
specialist in orthopedics, who diagnosed atrophy in mid-
November.
At the same time he explained that the condition was
incurable and that the course of treatment 1 should follow
should aim at preventing total loss of the arm's movement. I
am following this course, which basically consists of
exercises, heat and pills. I can definitely confirm that the
exercises I do day after day according to the doctor's
instructions permit me to retain such movement as I now
have.
I do not give much importance to this circumstance since
I was prepared for a greater loss of movement, and because
my healthy spirits are not to be dampened by such clouds.
From time to time I still amuse myself humming old songs. I
still get up each morning and go to bed each night thinking
of my dear wife and of the children.
?Excerpts from a letter to his family, dated
March 10, 1975, smuggled out of prison.
Translated from Spanish for the New York
Times.
...The reality we breathe tells us we belong to another
world, that we are buried in the bowels of the earth.
There is something in my situation which gives me more
pain than imprisonment itself. It is to be labeled and treated
as an enemy of the People, knowing as 1 do that I am part of
that People, and that their cause is my cause, although a
considerable distance separates me from the system and the
men who rule our country.
Nothing unites me to the latifundistus, the monopolies,
the personages of the old order, nor to the crimes, vices and
privileges that the Revolution destroyed. I would not give
one drop of my blood or sweat to revive the "elected" and
corrupt Republic which was born in 1902, a deformed
creature of North American intervention on the ashes of the
ideals and sacrifices of true Cubans. But, in sum, this is my
fate and I am resigned to it.
It is hardly pleasant to expose you to these truths. I
should like to offer a more optimistic picture--but I could
only do so by putting on rose-colored glasses. What is true
is that when they try to tarnish my "Cubanness" everything
within me rebels.
And if I explain to you
because here freedom is
how I contemplate the future it is
more a dream than a hope, and
dreams are lost in infinity when confronted by the dawn of
reality. Where more or less long-term prisoners are con-
cerned, the system which reigns in Cuba leaves little
margin for hope.
Of course there are prisoners who, either through naivete
or self-deception, believe that the Government will not
survive long and hope to be released from prison in a burst
of happiness which cannot be far off. Others, the majority,
simply hope for liberty.
My viewpoint is a minority one. If only it were mistaken!
I know you are hoping I shall be free within the next few
years; I know that you are making efforts to free me and
relying on the help of apolitical organizations and people of
good will. I am grateful for the good all those generous
souls wish to do for me, but in truth it seems difficult to
return to my home and life from the bowels of the earth.

Women in Prison
"Granja Nuevo Amanacer at Punta Brava was singled out as a prison reputed for mistreating women
political prisoners. Some are kept in solitary confinement for long periods, others stacked into
'galleries' at a hundred or more women per ward, it was charged. Allegations of poor food, heavy
on corn-flour porridge, with concomitant protein deficiencies, matched complaints concerning
male political prisoners, as did charges of insect and rodent-plagued wards. The women also report
the same extensive loss of teeth that the men do. As in the men's prisons, the women political
prisoners report deplorable medical inattention, with deprivation of health care sometimes used to
coerce prisoners. I was told by a relation about a woman in Nuevo Amanacer who was not permit-
ted to have a desperately needed cancer operation 'until she promised to change her political ideas
and attitudes. And thus she was rehabilitated,' said my bitter informant.
Rehabilitation
"The Cuban Government offers a 'rehabilitation' program to political prisoners. A prisoner who
accepts may eventually receive less rigorous treatment, including possible transfer to a work camp
setting where 'sanitation is better, sleeping arrangements less crowded, food is better, with more
protein, including fresh milk. Many rehabilitation camp prisoners are required to construct dairies,'
said one freed rehabilitation camp prisoner. Rehabilitation camp inmates must do manual labor,
primarily construction or mining, with occasional agricultural fieldwork; prisoners are even build-
ing a new 'model prison' located near the capital that inmates call 'Havana East.' On paper,
rehabilitation prisoners are permitted furloughs every forty-five days. Vocational and political
indoctrination classes are also provided. At one of the few scheduled events I attended, Supreme
Court Justice Nicasio Hernandez de Armas told me that the indoctrination classes were voluntary.
Coercive Voluntarism
"However, 'accepting' rehabilitation was not always voluntary, my informants charge. I frequently
heard of prisoners who rejected rehabilitation and refused forced labor only to find that at the com-
pletion of their sentences their terms had been extended a year. The next year [the prisoner] was
asked to accept rehabilitation and told that if he did not accept, he would remain for another year
--and the next year, the same thing... Over and over again I asked contacts why prisoners re-
jected the rehabilitation plan--the possibility of doing easier time and eventual freedom--for the
certainty of harsh treatment and continued detention.
The Love of Liberty
" 'More than four hundred prisoners in LaCabana have followed the example of Huber Matos and
not accepted the plan,' I was told. 'Rehabilitation requires the prisoner to renounce his political
principles, to say they are wrong,' said a relative of one of the La Cabana four hundred. 'Most
of the prisoners believe that the issue causing their imprisonment is the issue of liberty, of personal
freedom in Cuba, and they will not say they were mistaken about this.'
"A group of prisoners sent another message, put together in consultation, I was told: 'Tell the world
we are suffering in Cuba's prisons. You asked about 'human rights' in Cuba. In Cuba these two
words are unknown. Cuba and Cubans would like to be free. Help them please. And guard the
liberty you have.' Yet another Cuban dissident told me: 'We hear that sometimes foreigners are
permitted to visit political prisoners who have accepted rehabilitation. But permission to see those

who feel strongly about liberty is always refused, because it is said that such people are held in
'maximum security'. Ideas like those of Matos and the others, you see, must be held in maximum
security.'
Permission to Visit Prisoners Denied
"While in Cuba I formally requested permission to visit three well-known political prisoners. This
I did in carefully written letters citing human rights concerns by progressive and influential U.S.
leaders?letters I personally handed to about half a dozen cabinet and subcabinet officials and a
supreme court justice. The three were:
*Huber Matos
*David Salvador--once a key leader of Castro's urban revolutionaries and who headed Cuba's trade
union confederation after the victory. Salvador was arrested in November, 1960, in an attempt to
escape Cuba after Castro turned on leaders of his old 26th of July Movement who, because they
held ideas of free speech, free press, free elections, and free trade unionism, opposed dominance
of the new government by Communists.
*Miguel Sales--a twenty-five-year-old poet whose works have been published in the U.S.
"There was never an official response to my letters or my verbal requests to see these men.
Cuban Elections
" 'These elections are a comedy,' said one former prisoner. 'Only Communists or Communist-
approved candidates can run. They were selected by a show of hands at assemblies--not by secret
ballot--and they can be coerced from participating by the Municipal Election Committees, which
supervise the election and which are controlled by Party members. No one may campaign, no one
can say 'vote for me and I will order the Committees for Defense of the Revolution [the Party-
controlled community membership associations with heavy police functions] to stop spying on neigh-
bors; that if you vote for me, I will try to control the organs of State Security, the G-2 and the
DGI secret police, to stop them from coming into everyone's house at any time, searching every-
where, arresting everyone.' If you could say such things, Castro and the Communists could not
win a free election. A free election--such an idea is utopian, a fantasy.'
The Trade Embargo
"Ove Pend over again government officials encountered on the tour voiced demands that the U.S.
end IV Cuban trade embargo. Communicating this demand to Americans was clearly, I thought, a
key purpose for inviting Ripon Republicans to Havana. But the Cuban dissidents with whom I was
in ccitact agreed; they too wanted the embargo lifted and the diplomatic and trade relations
normcitized between the U.S. and Cuba, although for different reasons than their government.
"Phe embargo problem is the most important for the political prisoners, and for all of us fighting
fSigo democratic process,' said an officially 'rehabilitated' prisoner once jailed for anti-Castro
acVities. 'Isolation from the U.S. is for the prisoners more important than food, teeth, disease,
eve0thing. Tell them in the U.S. that the blockade helps Fidel Castro. It gives him an excuse
tocplain his big economic mistakes, and the political prisons--all mistakes in this country are
exillained by the blockade. If we fail in the price of sugar, it is the blockade. If there is not
eno%h coffee, if we do not have petrol, if prices are too high and goods are scarce, it is the
blocikpde. In my opinion the blockade is wrong.'

The Cuban Dissidents
0-tt-010( (7711 TA/a, //
" 'My friends and I hear about the underground in Russia, about Samizdat, about Solzhenitsyn and
Sakharov and others of the Russian resistance. Do you think we do not have our Cuban Solzhenit-
syns, our Sakharovs? How could we not, when we are so close to your country and respect the
ideas of your country, the democratic process, freedom, liberty? Of course we have people like
them here. But how is the world to know, and how can they be protected by world opinion, like
the Russians, if there are no journalists here to meet them and write about them, if Castro can
arrest them and they disappear?' " (Pages 5 through 10)
The author reports that those Cuban dissidents whom he met, favor the lifting of the embargo on trade
with Cuba. If this is done, it should be coupled with a continuing campaign to expose the treatment
of Cuban political prisoners and the denial of basic human rights to the Cuban people. As the commu-
nists are so fond of saying, "detente does not mean the cessation of the ideological war." Literature and
radio messages exposing the plight of the prisoners should flood Cuba and the world till the names of
Huber Matos, David Salvador, and Miguel Sales are as well known round the world as those of Sakharov
and Solzhenitsyn.
CUBAN AGENTS WITHIN THE U.S.A.
On September 21, 1976, Orlando Letelier, former Foreign Minister of the Allende Government in
Chile, was assassinated by a car-bomb in ashington, D.C. The identities of his murderers are still
unknown, although the Chilean Intellige ce Service (DINA), its Cuban counterpart (DINA), and
anti-Castro Cuban exiles have all been ccused.
At the time of his death, he was dire or of Transnational Institute which is a subsidiary of the Insti-
tute for Policy Studies (IPS) which iVbased in Washington, D.C., and which is an influential radical
think-tank.
A briefcase containing confident I papers was discovered with the body of Letelier. Letters from
Allende's daughter "Tate", who 4s married to a senior officer of the Cuban Intelligence Agency (DGI)
and who lives in Havana reveale that Letelier was receiving a regular salary of $1,000 per month
from Havana, Cuba.
These documents also revealed that he had built up an impressive range of contacts among congressional
staffs and well-known liberals in the U.S.A. and that he maintained close contacts with staff members
of the Church Committee on American Intelligence activities.
4(944AU '-
Congressman Michael Harrington, who championed the Kennedy Amendment, which cut off arm supplies
to Chile, in the House of Representatives, received money from Letelier for a trip to Mexico.

S. Gorshov, one of the leading naval men of the Soviet, writes: "Under many circumstances it is
not necessaryto resort to military strength. All that is necessary is to put pressure to bear on the
other side with the strength of one's military power and by the threat of war, and one will achieve
one's political oloiective," (Ta Kung Pao, February 10, 1977)

THE PURPOSE OF SOVIET SEA POWER
Approved For Release 2004/11/01 : CIA-RDP88-01315R000200360001-6
NUCLEAR POWER IN THE SOVIET UNION
The Russians are proceeding rapidly with the development of Nuclear Power. They decide, then act
without encumbrance by protesting demonstrators. This contrasts with the situation in the free world
where there are protests and demonstrations whenever and wherever building a Nuclear Power Station
is proposed. In non-communist countries, these protests are often supported by the communists. This
is consistent with their program to weaken the free world economically, militarily, and morally so
that communist conquest will be easier.
The Russian attitude to Nuclear Power is revealed in this statement by the Chairman of the USSR
Atomic Energy Committee: (ATLAS, April, 1977)
All Clear in the U.S.S.R.
Our tenth Five-Year Plan sets a priority rate of development for the atomic
power industry in the European part of the U.S.S.R., the most densely
populated section of the country. Nuclear reactors are in operation or
under construction in the Leningrad, Kursk, Smolensk, Sverdlovsk, and Kalinin
regions, near Kiev in the Ukraine, in Armenia, and elsewhere.
Strict sanitary regulations are laid down and enforced by the Ministry of
Health. They are obligatory and cover also the location and operation of nuclear
installations. Each operating reactor is provided with virtually unfailing (because
of a three or four-tier system of checks and double-checks) safeguards against
accidents that ensure automatic instantaneous cooling if the temperature
suddenly reaches a critical point. Of course no serious scientist rules out the
probability of the improbable. It is all a matter of the degree of risk.
Not long ago the U.S. nuclear regulatory commission estimated on the basis
of data collected at 100 operating nuclear power stations that the "likely"
disaster rate was once in a million years. At this rate one might as well scare the
public with the danger of the Empire State Building collapsing. The same applies
to the talk about the radiation danger to the population in general. To raise this
scare is as absurd as it is unscientific. If it comes to that, sugar or salt could kill
any living organism it introduced in inordinate quantities. Air can kill if a bubble of
it gets into the circulatory system. We live in the midst of constant dangers but
have learned how to guard against them. Controlled peaceful use of atomic
energy within scientifically set limits involves no danger from radiation.
As to the problem of the radioactive waste, the greater part can be relatively
simply coped with since the degree of its radioactivity is not high and does not
present a very great danger; it disintegrates rapidly in specially designed tanks
under water. There is, however, a certain proportion of highly radioactive waste
that has to be stored away hermetically for years, in, say, abandoned salt mines.
Experts are now concentrating on the creation of new types of reactors with a
low yield of radioactive waste.
Optimism should not be taken to mean that I underestimate the potential
danger of the nuclear destruction of our civilization. But that is another problem.
The world has reached the state when atomic energy has ceased to be a great
and fascinating scientific and technological novelty and has become a vital
necessity. The march of progress cannot be halted. ?

Commiltee, in an interview with Elena Knorre, staff writer
for the weekly "New Times" of Moscow, Jan. 3.

Worldwide Effort
Being Launched to
'Destabilize' CIA
By George Lardner Jr.
?, Washington Post Stmff Writer
Perched just. below-Dupont Circle is the appar-
ently temporary headquarters of a new interna-
tional campaigneto"destabWee the Central Intelli-
gence Agency. ' ?:?.;
The anti-CIA announcements are being made in
Havana, but the vehicle is a magazine being put to-
"gether by former.-CIA, officer-Philip Agee, "the
agency's No. 1 nemesis," and a number of colleagues
bent on - "exposing CIA personnel and operations
whenever and wherever we find them."
? The new publication, which is expected to appear
'roughly six times a year, is called the Covert -Ac-
;tion Information Bulletirsi, arid its tone is uncompro- ;
mising. Urging a worldwide effort to print the name 1
of anyone who works abroad for the CIA, Agee ad-
vises readers Of the premier issue not to stop there.
? Once the names have- been- madee-publie, he
recommends:
"Then organize public demonstrations against
-those named?both at the American embassy and at
'their homes?and, where possible, bring pressure on
'the government to throw them out. Peaceful protest
will do the job. And when it doesn't, those whom
the CIA has most oppressed will find other ways of
fighting back."
Agee concludes: "We can all aid this struggle, to-
gether with the struggle-for socialism in the United
States itself." -
"This thing is incredible ... unbellevable,"- ex-
claimed CLk?spokesman Herbert Hetu. "The motiva-
Iion of 'these people has got to-be more than that
they're just ticked off at the CIA.
"This goes beyond whistle-blowing," Hetu added
_Of the magazine. "Whistle-blowing' is supposed to be
directed at wrongdoing. These people are operating
under the overall pretext that everything we do is
wrong.". ,
Expelled from Britain and a. succession of other!
Western -European countries over the .past two-
years, Agee is reportedly living in. Rome, but the I
'magazine is being published hereby.C. I. Publica-
tions Inc., a nonprofit corporation setup. in the
District on Dec. 22.
Its incorporators, directors and officers are Wil-
liam H. Schaap, a lawyer and editor in chief of a
newsletter called the Military Law' Reporter; Ellen
Pay, a colleague of Schaap on various boards and
projects; and Louis Wolf, coeditor with Agee of a
new book entitled "Dirty Work: The CIA in West-
:ern Europe."
It is designed partly as a how-to-do-it book aimed
at "breaking the 'cover' of thousands of CIA. agents
around the world.'
The headquarters of C. I. Publications Inc. ' is
given in the incorporation papers as. a sixth-floor ;
suite in the Dupont Circle Building at 1346 Connect-
icut Ave. NW, which houses the Public Law Educa-
tion Institute.
The institute's president, Thomas P. Alder, told a
reporter yesterday he had not been aware of
Schaap's use of the address for his "sideshow" meg-
'azine and indicated he would gut a stop to it. The
institute publishes the ?Military Law Reporter
Schaal) edits. ?
. The financing for the new undertaking was un-
clear. Alder said Schaap, Agee and . all the others
who could answer such questions were still in Ha-
vana, where they have been taking part in an anti.
CIA tribunal that began last week as part o.f the In-
ternational Youth Festival.
In announcing the plans there, Agee-and Schaap
have said they hope to establish a worldwide net-
work of "researchers" who will keep CU officers
under close scrutiny and forward their names to the
Covert Action Informatiqn Bulletin lei. publication.
_Others associated with Agee in the so-called "CIA
Watch" are James and Elsie Wilcott, former CIA fi-
nance and support personnel who are also taking
part in the Havana festival,
? In a joint statement in the first (July 19'7'8) Issue'
-of Covert Action entitled "Who We Are." Agee and? ;
the others describe the magazine as a successor to
Counter-Spy, which went out of business a year
.and a half ago.
Counter-Spy folded after a welter of controversy :
? over the 1975 assassination in Athens of CIA station
chief Richard S. Welch. The magazine had earlier
listed Welch's name as a CIA official stationed. in
Peru.
Unlike Counter-Spy, Agee and the others said in
the first issue of Covert Action, "We are confident
that there will be sufficient subscribers to make this
publication a permanent weapon in the fight against,
the CIA, the FBI military intelligence- and all the
other instruments of U.S. imperialist oppression
throughout the world." - ?
. .
According to John H. Rees, editor of a cOnserva.
.tive newsletter called Information Digest and Wash-
ing ton correspondent for the Review of the News
.thaga.thie (originily put cut by the John Birch.
Society), Schaap is. a member of the National Law-
:yers Guild, and, 'with Ray, served on the Counter-
Spy magazine advisory board. The two also partici-
pated together in the National Lawyers Guild's
Southeast Asia Military Law Project and served as
,the guild's observers in February 1977 at the
Baader-Meinhof trials in Stammhein. Rees reported
In Information Digest's latest issue. '
Several hundred copies of Covert Action were re-
portedly sent from Washington, and more were dis-
tributed free in Havana._ 71

Why Crinudighter is the best protection against...
burglary.
The crime rate of residential
burglary has increased 334 percent in
the last 10 years. Can you think of
people you know (perhaps yourself!)
who have been touched by theft or
other crime? Hardly anyone in the
country has not been affected in
some way by the brutal statistics.
Nite & Day's Crimefighter provides
the very best protection against
burglary in a home or small
business. Its protection is superior
to that of guns, dogs, and most other
electronic systems. Dollar for dollar,
Crimefighter is unsurpassed by
any system.
DAYTIME BURGLARIES
Most break-ins occur between the
hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. in broad
daylight! As well as providing superior
nighttime protection, the Crimefighter
system is convenient to use as a
virtually absolute deterrent to daytime
burglaries.
BETTER PROTECTION THAN
LOCKS
Of course it's a good idea to lock your
Crimefighter
BUSINESS RE Y
No oostage necessary ,f
doors and windows. But remember?
it's easy to overlook a latch or two.
Besides, locked doors and windows
don't do much to slow down a deter-
mined intruder. The Crimefighter
system is simple and foolproof to arm,
and it works whether doors and
windows are locked or not.
BErIla PROTECTION THAN
GUNS
Most burglars carry guns of their own.
It is far better to scare an intruder
away with an alarm?or quietly and
electronically summon the police?
than to endanger yourself and your
family in a shoot-out.
BETTER PROTECTION THAN
DOGS
Dogs provide limited protection,
particularly in an empty house. They
are easily subdued by chemical means,
and barks and yelps are too common
a sound to attract much attention.
THE DEADLIEST HOURS
Fatal fires most often occur between
the hours of midnight and 6 a.m.
Hot, silent toxic gases rise, fill
bedrooms, and asphyxiate sleeping
families. Once combustion has begun,
only early detection gives a family a
fighting chance, particularly in the
middle of the night.
Nite & Day's Crimefighter gas and
heat detectors and electronic alarm
wakes sound sleepers in time for
escape.
THE TOLL IN CHILDREN
Each year more children under 14 die
by fire than from the combined effecti
of rheumatic fever, leukemia, heart
disease, and polio! A primary reason:
Parents don't find out about fire in
the home in time to get everybody to
safety. Smoke and heat detectors can
provide the much needed timely
warning.
MOST FIRES START SLOWLY. . .
A fire can smolder for hours?or days
before producing visible smoke or
flames. This is the time to detect the
fire; this is the time your heat and
smoke detector system lets you know
a fire is under way.
... AND GET OUT OF CONTROL
QUICKLY
Once flames break out, your house
acts as a giant furnace. From the
point of conglagration, a fire can rage
out of control within 4 to 7 minutes
consuming everything inside your
home.
BUT FLAMES AREN'T THE BIG
KILLER
Fires produce hot, deadly gases. These
gases, including hydrogen cyanide and
carbon monoxide, cause the greatest
number of fire fatalities. Your
Crimefighter can warn you of
combustion and its gases early enough
to prevent asphyxiation.

Te Critnefighter's protection is virtually failsafe.
Security that never sleeps.
The Crimefighter is a wireless system
designed to provide the maximum
protection against burglary, fire, and
personal emergency. And you can
choose only the protection features
you need.
Stop a burglary before
it happens.
The purpose of an alarm system is to
stop an intruder and/or to apprehend
him. To accomplish either of these
objectives, a response must come in the
shortest possible time. With the
Crimefighter, the intruder is detected
before he enters.
SENSORS
Window and Door
Find out about a fire in
time to escape.
If you don't learn of a fire in its very
first stages, you may not have time to
get your family to safety. After flames
break out, your home can be an inferno
in 4 to 7 minutes! With the early
detection and warning features of the
Crimefighter, your chances of escape
are excellent.

Tiny detectors do the work.
Miniature sensors can-
1. Detect illegal entry through doors
and windows.
2. Detect fire, smoke, and superheated
air in time for you and your family to
get to safety.
3. Be used to signal for help in the
event of intrusion or medical emergency.
These detectors transmit an impulse to
the master control unit. The master
control unit is the brain of the system.
It maintains constant awareness of

RESCUE SQUAD, HOSPITAL
or AMBULANCE SERVICE
A system as quiet-or noisy-
as you want it to be.
For extra safety, the alarm system can be
audible or silent. It can send a silent
signal to the police if your primary
objective is to apprehend an intruder. If
personal safety is first consideration, you
can use our incredibly loud audible
alarms which have the dual function of
severely startling an intruder and drawing
considerable attention to the site of the
break-in.
The silent alarm utilizes an automatic
telephone dialer which summons the
police, the fire department, or an
ambulance through your own telephone
system. It can warn or inform anybody
who can be reached by telephone.
It's economical and versatile.
The Nite & Day Crimefighter system is
flexible. You can add security options
easily and economically. You can take
the system with you when you move.
And this sophisticated equipment can
be yours for pennies a day.
A WIRELESS
SYSTEM?
The Crimefighter
operates on radio
impulse. That
means no wires to
spoil the decor of
your home, and no
wires for a burglar
to cut to deactivate
the system.
The Nite & Day
system is the only
radio frequency
home alarm system
meeting all
industry standards
to receive UL
approval.
This is the little
sensor that started cv
the whole chain

A portable sensor
enables you to
trigger the alarm
from any nearby
location inside or
outside your home.

1. Forced entry

Home Improvement
It Gives An
Earlier Warning
TATISTICS gathered by
various governmental
agencies and profes-
sional safety organiza-
tions indicate that the inci-
dence of home fires has been
increasing steadily in recent
years, with the greatest num-
ber occurring between mid-
night and 6 A.M. ? when
most people are asleep and
consequently when there is
the greatest danger to the
occupants of the house.
It is actually not hard to
understand these statistics
since fires spread very rapid-
ly once they get started, and
sleeping persons often do
not awaken in time to es-
cape. In many cases they are
overcome by smoke, nox-
ious gases or superheated air
while they are still asleep,
and betore the actual flames
ever get to them. To give
some idea of how rapidly
this can happen, studies
have shown that from the
time flames actually break
out, a person has; on the
average, less than tour min-
utes in which to escape be-
fore he will be overcome by
toxic gases or superheated
air.
As more and more home
owners have become aware
of these dangers there has
been a steadily growing trend
toward the installation of
alarm systems that will wake
sleeping occupants when fire
breaks out at night so as to
give them the precious extra
minutes needed to escape.
The most widely used
kind of home fire detector is
a heat sensor or special ther-
mostat that sounds a central
alarm bell or horn when the
temperature in the vicinity
of the detector reaches a pre-
determined level ? usually
about 1 35 degrees. The
trouble with this type of de-
tector is that it loses valuable
minutes before it gets hot
enough to sound the alarm.
By the time the element
reaches the critical tempera-
ture the air in the room is
already much hotter than
this, and about one-third of
the critical four-minute-
leeway (time to escape) may
be gone. In addition, some
fires give off lots of smoke
without much heat.
The second most widely
used alarm is the smoke de-
tector. This uses a photocell
that sounds the alarm when a
percentage of the light pass-
ing through a special closed
chamber is obstructed by a
smoke buildup. It gives an
earlier warning than the heat
sensor, but it may be set off
by insects and may not give
adequate warning when the
fire produces very little
smoke at the beginning.
Though either one or both
of these systems will give ad-
vance warning of fire, the
drawback with both of them
is that all too often they do
not sound the alarm early
enough, especially during a
FIRE STAGES ? During Incipient stage fire shows
no visible smoke r flames. During Smoldering stage
smoke is seen, ? flames. In Flame stage actual fire
exists, heat buil. begins. High Heat stage follows
rapidly with unc oiled sorgad of superheated air.

fire's so-called incipient stage
when it can smolder for
many minutes ? or even
hours in some cases ? with-
out visible smoke or flames.
However, there is one type
of fire detector that will
sound the alarm while the
fire is still in the incipient
state ? it detects the invisible
gases and microscopic air-
borne particles that areliven,
off at the very beginning.
Known as a? combustion
products detector or ioniza-
tion chamber detector, this
type has been largely pro-
duced only for commercial
establishments up till now.
However, one company is
now producing an early
warning combustion prod-
ucts detector for the home
which is completely self-con-
tained, and which can be
installed by anyone withal

need for wiring. Called the
1:IKK Early Warning ire De-
tector it is manufactured by
Mr" Electronics. Inc. of
Aurora, Ill.
As with most fire detec-
tors, the BRK unit is design-
ed to be installed on the
ceiling (two screws hold it in
place) and for most homes
two units will be needed.
Measuring about seven
inches square, the detector
has its own battery power
supply, and is the only self-
contained unit of this type to
be approved by the Under-
writers' Laboratories,
Inc....
*It operates on an indus-
trial grade battery that sig-
nals when it is weakening,
but even a weak battery will
continue to sound an alarm
in case of fire, the maker
says.
*The sensing element is an
ion chamber in a circuit that
monitors the current across
the chamber. When combus-
tion product particles, which
are larger than normal air
molecules, enter the cham-
ber they cause a change in
voltage and send a signal to
the amplifier sounding a 110
decibel alarm. It can be turn-
ed off and also tested at
intervals with a reset switch.
A manual supplied with
each of these BRK Early
Warning Detectors gives in-
structions on selecting the
best locations ? but as a rule
it is advisable to install one at
the top of each stairwell in
the hall leading to the bed-
rooms.

These units operate on their own power cells and are not dependent upon
external wiring which usually fails in time of fire. They are self-contained
and sense the products of combustion in the very early stages and sound

LOCATION OF DETECTORS
It is very important that you locate
these BRK Detectors where they will
be able to detect fire at its earliest
possible state to give you the earliest
possible warning.
The products of combustion from
fire rise to the ceiling and rapidly
spread across it. Therefore always
mount the Detectors on the ceiling
? Between the bedroom area and
the rest of the house,
? On any level (like a basement)
separated from the rest cif the
house by a closed door.
? At the top of stairwells.
If smoking is done inside a bedroom,
either the door should remain opened
or a Detector should be placed directly
inside the room.

4 STAGES OF FIRE
The incipjent Stage: Invisible
combustion gases are given off
as the fire is beginning. No vis-
ible smoke, flame or appreciable
heat is present yet ... but a fire
is starting.
A short circuit in a wall or ceiling
... an oily rag ... an overheated
element in an appliance .. any
one of thousands of causes can
be taking place without anyone
knowing. It is here, in the incipi-
ent stage that the BRK Combus-
tion Gas Detector gives its early
warning.
2 The Smouldering Stage: Com-
bustion products are now appar-
ent as smoke. Flame, or appreci-
able heat is still not present.
3 The Flame Stage: Actual fire now
exists. Appreciable heat is still
not present, but will follow al-
most instantly.

TIME in minutes, hours or days
ALL BIG FIRES START SMALL
In virtually every case except explosions, a fire starts
small and spends many times longer in the first two
stages than in the last two. It is a matter of record that
the Incipient and Smoldering Stages can exist for hours
or even days BEFORE the Flame and Heat Stages are
reached. Once Flame and Heat are present a fire can
develop at a catastrophic rate.
4 Heat Stage: High heat, uncon-
trolled and air that is rapidly
expanding join here to make a
dangerous combination that de-
stroys property, claims lives and
creates tragedies.
TIME in minutes or seconds
10% VISIBLE
In most fires 90% of the products of combustion are
invisible. Only 10% are in the visible (smoke) form.
EARLY DETECTION SAVES LIVES
Most of the fire detection systems in use today are de-
pendent upon the Heat Stage to trigger any alarm. This
is too late in many cases to save lives and extensive
property damage.

Electroconvulsive therapy,
they tell us, is not nearly as
bad as Jack Nicholson would
have us believe. Our answer
is: tell that to the CIA.
One of the controversies
surrounding ECT?the elegant
practice of slamming several
volts through peoples' brains
to make them less depressed
or schizophrenic--is whether
it causes amnesia. Yes, say
pressure gfoups like the Citi-
zens' Commission on Human
Rights, sponsored by the
Church of Scientology. ECT,
it claims, does cause :severe
and lasting amnesia. Not so,
say conventional psychiatrists:
any effects on memory are
slight and transient.
We don't claim that the CIA
carr:settle the issue, hot some
internal CIA memoranda, re-
eently prised out of the US
government via the Freedom
of Information .Act, cast in-
teresting light on the contro-
versy.
The first is a document dated
7 March, 1051 discussing how
the CIA might dispose Of re-
dundant agents, defectors and
