ALLEN DULLES ENDS INTELLIGENCE CARBE1
Warsaw GLOS PRACY 4 August 1961--A
(B. Janiszweski article: "Requiem for a Spy")
(Text) Among the early national heroes of the United..States,,there was
a, spy--teacher Nathan Hale--who, during the War of Independence,
gathered intelligence behind the British lines. When caught; he was
shot. Allen Welsh Dulles is completing his intelligence career
in a more peaceful but less glorious, manner. The history of
the United States will link his name to two embarrassing events--
the U-2 flights and the unsuccessful Cuban invasion.
The Western press claims that this fall the 68-year old son of a
Presbyterian minister will leave his office in the Washington center
of CIA at 2+30 'E' Street. He will say good-bye to his desk with its
miniature American flag and three telephones, one of which is white
and connects directly with the President. He will leave behind his
green easy chair, on which he could comfortably relax when his spine
gave him trouble, and the table with a model of an atomic submarine
on it. Probably all he will take with him will be a photograph of
his elder brother, the late John Foster Dulles.
President John Kennedy has decided to take Allen Dulles away from the
CIA,, which he has headed for eight years now and in which he has
been absolute ruler over thousands of people and billions of dollars.
Allen Dulles will have to let go of the;C1A operational department,
known as "the department of dirty tricks," which was successful in
Guatemala and Iran, but which failed in Cuba. Probably he will also
vacate the post of chairman of the intelligence committee composed of
representatives of seven intelligence and counterintelligence organiza-
tions, those of the combined chiefs of staffs, of the Army--G-2, of
the Navy--ONI, of the air force--AFI, of the Atomic Energy Commission,
of the State Department, and of the FBI.
"Our profession," students are told by instructors in CIA schools,
"is the second oldest in the world." (In the United States, the
term "oldest profession" refers to prostitution--GLOS PRACY "But
our profession," instructors add, "is not as honorable as the oldest
profession and certainly it does not afford as much pleasure." But
Allen Welsh Dulles--grandson of Secretary of State Foster; nephew
of Secretary of State Lansing, brother of Secretary of State Dulles,
son-in-law of Columbia University's Todd--has found enough pleasure
throughout his career as an intelligence agent.

At 23 he had his first intelligence job as secret American emissary
to Vienna in 1916. Between 1917 and 118 he stayed in Bern, collecting
intelligence from eastern and southern Europe. After ten years of work
hovering between diplomacy and intelligence, Allen Dulles left
government service and joined a law firm co-owned by his elder brother.
In 1940, when Europe was gripped by World War II, Allen Dulles,
as agent of Republican presidential candidate Wendell Willkie,
agitated against Roosevelt among naturalized Americans from East
Europe.
The following year Dulles returned to his original profession. Loaded
with dollars, he appeared in neutral Bern in October of 1942 as an
agent of the U.S. intelligence service. As such, he carried on
secret talks with representatives of Hitlerite Germany on the subject
of a possible American-German understanding. The records of these
talks show that Dulles has much understanding for the German territorial
interests in East Europe.
The war ended, but Dulles, awarded the medal of merit, continued his
interest in the German problem. In the first postwar years he
established close personal relations with West German personalities
who today are playing an important role in the life of the German Federal
Republic. One of his friends in Hans Globke. It was on the advice
of Dulles, too, that in those days the Gehlen. Hitlerite intelligence
organization was incorporated in the American intelligence apparatus.
The Gehlen unit, called Fremde Heere Ost, specialized, as we know,
in spying against the Soviet Union.
In 1951 Allen Dulles was appointed deputy director of the newly set
up Central Intelligence Agency. Two years later he was appointed head
of CIA. As the pope and czar of the U.S. intelligence service, Allen
Dulles has effectively defended his empire against jealous rivals
and intruders. He had repulsed the attack launched by Democratic
Senator Mansfield, who wants congressional control over CIA. He
has defended himself against Pentagon sallies; the Pentagon would
like "a military man to head the CIA. Against the forays of the State
Department Allen was protected by his great brother John Foster.
Nonetheless, even when Foster passed away, Allen retained his self-
confidence. He was the only member of the National Security Council
to vote against Eisenhower's decision to stop U-2 flights over Soviet
territory after Powers had been caught. The world scandal caused
by the disclosure of espionage flights over Soviet territory shook
the position of the CIA chief a little.

The more sober politicians pointed out that uncontrolled adventurism
on the part of the CIA head could involve America in a disaster. But
Eisenhower stood by Dulles. Kennedy, too, has as president kept Dulles
at his post. The end of his career became reality only last April, on
the swampy beaches of the Bay of Pigs, when the counterrevolutionary
invasion organized by CIA against Cuba was smashed by Cuban defenders.
Allen Dulles is not the only culprit connected with the anti-Cuban
adventure, but he is one of those people against whom wrath and
disappointment are directed. His old enemies are renewing a campaign
against him, which is joined by new enemies.
A CBS television interviewer asked the famous Walter Lippman: "After
the Cuban fiasco you said that the chief of staff and the head of CIA
should be relieved. Is this still your opinion?" Lippman, who is no
doubt well informed, replied: "I trust they will be relieved."
Dulles is quitting, but, of course, the intelligence organization remains.
The point is whether the new chiefs of this organization will be able to
draw conclusions from the sorry experience of their predecessor.
U.S. POLICY ON REAM iMENT TWO-SIDED
Warsaw PAP in English to Europe 0702 GMT 10 August 1961---L
(Text) TRYBUNA LUDU's correspondent sends an article from Washington
entitled "General Taylor's Conception and German Federal Republic
Atomic Armaments" in connection with the appointment of former Army
Chief of `ff Gen. Maxorrell D. Taylor to the post of
military repr'xntative to the President. The correspondent emphasizes
that for many yeats ..;ay1or has advocated increasing the U.S. conventional
forces and not only based on "massive atomic retaliation," the
basic strategic conception f Dulles and the former leaders of the
Pentagon. This was precisely', e reason for their conflict with Taylor
and it led to the general's res ion.
"For a long time," writes the TRYBUNA LUD''?Q.rrespondent, "they talked
of nothing but putting adequate pressure on unv.ng allies and
compelling them to increase the size of their arma bats. Of course,
there is one ally with whom there is no difficulty con;,4-i ng the

conventional arms, Bonn Minister of Defence Strauss is demanding atomic
arms for the Bundeswehr--and at the earliest possible date. Pol stated
that despite all denials, the Pentagon and the upper circles of NATO
are discussing if and when the Bundeswehr should receive nuclear arms.
The German Federal Republic is traveling with quick steps in the
direction of transforming itself into an atomic power. We have here
what seems to be an intentional two-sided policy. While the United
States is putting the main emphasis on conventional arms--because in
Taylor's opinion there are sufficient nuclear arms--this certainly does
not deter the march of the German Federal Republic in the direction
of atomic weapons. "Theirs is a dangerous game," concludes TRYBUNA
LUDU's ccrrespondent.
Warsaw Domestic Service in Polish 2100 GMT 9 August 1961--L
(Text) A good will mission of the Republic of Tunisia, headed by
Minister of Foreign Affairs Sadok Mokkadem arrived in Poland 9 August.
At Warsaw airport, the visitors were welcomed by Minister of Foreign
Affairs Adam Rapacki and senior officials of the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs. During their stay in Poland, members of the mission will hold
a number of talks with representatives of Polish authorities.
FLOOD ALARM--The rainfall noted in Lodz Voivodship and in the districts
to the south have caused a serious rise in the level of the Warta,
Pilica, Bzura, and their tributaries. On 3 August the level of these
rivers reached alarm stage, and in this connection a flood alarm was
announ.ced. Anti-flood committees have gone into action and the
citizens' anti-flood brigades have been called to a state of readiness.
