said. Providing the CIA with informa-

Paulu agreed to talk to the CIA in
1958 after a visit to the Soviet Union.
The CIA agents asked about "my ge,n-
eral impressions of the trip," Paulu
-
said
In 1965 agents phoned Paulu after an-
other visit to Eastern Europe. "I
would not talk to them," he said.
Paulu said he told the agent to read a
book he was about to publish.
Paulu returned from a three`-month
teaching engagement in the Soviet
Union last Daccmber, and a CAA
a3cnt called him again. "I relused to
!alk to them," Paulu said.-
CIA agents usually contact depart-
ment chairpersons and ask who has
been abroad recently and if the chair
person thinks the professor will talk
to the CIA, said Erwin Marquit, asso-
ciate professor of physics, who ac-
companied Rosner to the Soviet
Union in 1970.
"They're (chairpersons) acting as
fingermen" for the CIA, Marquit
said. The chairpersons "don't want to
be in aposition of not cooperating
with government agencies," he said-
A record of non-cooperation could
hurt their careers, Marquit added.
Marquit and several other University
professors wrote an opinion article in
the Minnesota Daily in early 1971
calling for an "end to University in-
volvement in intelligence activity."
"The administration and regents must
make it clear to the federal govern-
ment that the use of University by in-
telligence agencies is harmful to the
national interest and can only inter-
fere with the University fulfilling its
proper role,"the opinion piece said-
"graduate students and faculty are
scared of having their,
iews known,"
Marquit said. "This is a very evil situ--'
ation."
"I don't think University should offi-
cially cooperate with the intelligence
community,' said University Presi- .1.
dent C. Peter Magrath in an interview
with the Daily on Wednesday.
"I believe that much of that informa-
tion that probably comes from dis-
cussions of that kind (debriefings) are
really pretty innocuous kinds of basic-
information," Magrath said. "I think
that it is very damaging, potentially,
to University researchers if they are
believed to be-involved in some way,
not so much with spying, but with
things related to the intelligence com-
munity."
But people can't be prevented from
talking to somebody about their re-
search, Magrath said. "I sincerely be-.
lieve it's a tough area to regulate," he
said.

ST. LOUIS 'POST-DISPATCH
19 MAY 1977
By RICHARD DUDMAN
Chief Washington Correspondent
of the Post-Dispatch
WASHINGTON, May 19 - Americans
are soon going to begin hearing a lot
about their friendly Central Intelligence
Agency.
And if their children are among the
lucky ones, they will get a tour of the big
secret spy headquarters at Langley, Va.,
just like their trips to the white house,
the Capitol.and the Smithsonian Institu-
tion.
The CIA has tried to polish its image
occasionally in the past, but the public
relations campaign now getting under
way is by far the biggest and most open
in the history of the spy business.
Adm. Stansfield Turner, President
Jimmy Carter's choice to head the
agency, set the new tone by answering
questions from a small group of report-
ers yesterday for 30 minutes and then
sending them on a short tour of the:
building, including the CIA library. An
aid said it contained, among other
things, every telephone book in the
world.
Turner said that as director of Central
Intelligence, he would be keeping a close
watch. over the activities of still more
secret agencies in the intelligence com-
munity, such as the National Security
Agency and the Defense Intelligence
Agency.
In his own shop, he says he wants to
"lift the mystique."
"I hope to dispel some of the myths
that people are running around here with
cloaks and daggers and long fangs and
black hats, whereas many of the people
out here are serious students who are
reading and writing," he said.
Not a cloak was to be seen. Most of the
men walking along the: corridors and
chatting in a lounge at the library wore
ties and loud sports jackets.
Turner reminded the visitors that no
such session would he possible with the
director of Britain's Overseas Intelli- 1
Bence agency, b1I 6. In fact, his identity
is not generally known.
The CBS television show "60 Minutes"
will start filming a segment on the CIA
early next week. Turner said.
Other news and entertainment organi-
zations that have been given a foot in the
door were listed by the CIA spokesman
Herbert E. Hetu, although he lapsed into
the old spy lingo to say that he wondered
whether jt was fair to "blow 'their
cover."
Time magazine is going to do aitake
out on what's happening to intelligence,
Hetu said. The Sunday newspaper sup-
plement Parade has an article scheduled
and soon will be shooting pictures for it.
As for the television talk shows. Turner
has been on "Face the Nation" but is
stalling repeated requests from the To-
day show out of concern over what
public relations experts call over-expo-
sure. He also is as

The exhibits will probably include aerial photographs
from the 1962 Cuban missile crisis, showing the missiles
being installed and later being removed: A British
intelligence picture of the bridge over the River Quai
could be included among historical items.- . I- i
. Other-items for display, to be considered in a meeting
today, could even include photographs of Soviet
territory from the U.S. U-2 spy plane,_ which later was
shot down, he said.
.letu, a retired Navy captain, served much of his
naval career in public relations. He met Turner when he
was special assistant for public affairs to Secretary of
the Navy John Chafee in 1970 and 1971 and the admiral i
was Chafee's executive assistant and naval aide.
"Turner's philosophy is that in this day and age things
are just open," Hetu said. "Things are not going to go
backward. and we'd better do it in our own-way and at
our own rate. If we don't, it's going to happen anyway, a
la Freedom of Information Act."
=
Openness will cause some problems. Hetu says it will
make A lot of people unhappy, or at least uneasy.
"They are all good Americans out here, but they've
been taught for 30 years to keep their mouths shut.". he
said.
Many agents, moreover, are under cover, have been
under cover, or will be under cover again, he said, They
don't want to be seen or photographed. They will have
time to get out of sight when areas of the building are
"sanitized" before the visitors come through.
The employes' bulletin board is already sanitized.
