Secret Intelligence
Washington Post)

Washington Post)
 The Brown Subcommittee of the House Executive Expenditures Committee exhibited good sense in posponing it's probe the operations of American intelligence preceding the Bogota revolt If the in vestigaon is to proceed at all; it ought to be shorn of all publicity and go on in camera. The really critical phase of intelligence is evaluatonwhich is to make sort of editorial out of scattered reports In retrospect it would seem, there plenty of n- formation available in press dispatches to cause genuine concern the situation in Bogota. Plain ly someone whose job it to evauate such informa- tion did not appreciate it's significance. The best information in the world is of vaueless unless it presented in the proper context to the persons who need it.
 Another lesson from Bogota is that the Central Intelligence Agency ought to be divorced completely from the State Department except for interchange of information We doubt the advisabity Of op- eratives going into country in the guise of repre- sentatves of the Stae Department By the same token Ambassadors ought not to be in the intelligence chain While they ought be kept informed of intelligence reports sent back to Washington they should not be in position to prevent transmission of such reports And of course the Central Intelligence Agency should not be forced to use State Department codes.
 Finally. there ought to be even more recognition given the truism that the great part of intelligence is not secret It is rather the open information that
 host of agents attaches and the like relay and one function of CA should be to see that all of this open information covered by one or other of the intelligence agencies. In this respect It's Joo should to encourage rather than to grab intelligence operations. To be the Central Intelligence Agency has an important function in directing and carrying on secret intelligence operations but 1t has an even more important function in correlatng and disseminating intelligence from other governmental agencies.
 As the Central Intelligence Agency IS about to receive through the Satonstall bill the perquises it's status demands it ought to be more than ever on it's guard against becoming the victim of its own glamorized coak-and dagger inclinations. The Ma ton has deep interest in knowing that the intelli- gence function is being fulfilled adequately rather than in how it is fulfilled for in cold war ntelli- gence is it's first line of defense

the American Legion has made public some striking
 facts about this countrys inadequate merchant marine On December T. 1941 the United States was down to ships active passenger service; their capacity was 3800O passengers After the Pearl Harbor attack initial troop movements seriously hampered by the lack of troop carriers.
 If that situation critical compare 1t With todays Now only 48 passenger ships fly the American flag their capacity is 17000 passengers No passenger vessels are being built in American shipyards all though other nations have 173 such vessels under construction.
 Pointing out that in emergency passenger carving ships No requirement.. the Legion backs the shpbuiding program recommended by the Presidents advisory committee, which proposes that the nation build 46 passenger vessels in the next six years The cost of the program would be 300 million dollars some 30 million dollars a year.
 The government supports the entire cost of the Army Navy and Air Force" the Legion contends. These are necessary security costs. The merchant marine is equally important to our national security and most of the borne by the shipping industry
 The Legon's support of this program should be The Presidents advisory committee which proposed includes four outstanding indstrialists and retired vice admiral of the Navy In our own ship building area, appreciate fully another finding of this impressive committee: "Shipbuding skills arc essential assets and must be preserved"

ARGENTINA BACKST0PS
 SPAIN

Behind the facade of the lush mutual admiration society set up by Francisco Franco and Juan D. Peron, the Argentine Government is rapidly taking over complete control of Spain's sagging econ omy.
 Desperately in need of financial aid, Franco last year granted Peron long list of commercial conces- sions, including a free port for entry of Argentine goods at Cadiz, in return for 100000, ,000-peso credit worth about $24,000000 then, but off 20 percent at cur rent exchange rates).
 The glib gaucho of the River Plate pressed his advantage in sub sequent dickerings and now has TO percent of Spain's olive-oil produc- tion, 56 percent of her wines, Az percent of oranges, etc, etc. tied up tightly. In other words, these products can henceforth be sold only to or through Argentina.
 Franco accepted the deals will ingly, convinced that Peron and his regimes eXport-impogt monopoly were showing symbols of new world success story Lately, the little Spanish Generalissimo has been taken ahack by revelations of Argentina's precarious economic situation; but it is too late to do much about it.
 When Peron goes to Spain next October for the ceremonies opening the Cadiz facilities to Argentine shipping, he will practically be making a triumphal entry into his European dependency.

"HEIGHT OF JACKAssERy''

Debating on the Senate floor re- gently, Colorado's brusque Senator Eugene Millikin described an ob- jection by Oregon's Wayne Morse, the height of jackassery" An grily, Morse snapped back that he was proud Of his 'mulish charac- teristics"
 Millikin had wanted to turn over a tract of Government land to Johnson City, Tenn, for build ing q fairground, but Morse op- posed it because Congress had not yet established a uniform policy for disposing federal property.
 "The Senator's insistence upon a uniform policy for disposal of federal property is the height Of jackassery," growled Millikin.

U. s. Supreme Court which only a few days ago finally ruled that the Federal Government owned full rights to the land, located in the Elk Basin oil fields, near Tea pot Dome.
 Barrett promptly introduced q bill overriding the Supreme Court decision and granting the tract to Wyoming. As Congress was rush. ing to wind up it's work, he ask ed the hard-pressed House for unanimous approval of his bill.
 Suspicious, Ohio's Democratic Congressman Walter Huber threat ened to object to the bill unless he be given time to examine it. He requested Barrett to hold up the bill for one hour. Marcanton- 10, who also had protested, hurried out to do some research.
 Meanwhile, Barrett buttonholed Huber and urged him to withdraw his objection. The Wyoming Con- gressman pleaded that the state needed the land to collect taxes for schools. Not suspecting that the property was rich in oA. Huber replied that he only wanted to make sure the land did not include any Federal parks. Barrett gave his word there were no parks ill the 80 acres, So Huber agreed to withdraw his objection before the allotted hour.
 Hurriedly Barrett brought up the bill again and got the House $ unanimous consent, just as Mar cantonio returned to the floor = too late.

Workers Confederation to repudiate Lomhardo Toledano, its founder, and break all ties with his Commi- line CTAL Latin American Work CTS Confederation.
 What Lombardo Toledano's new party signifies, first of all is that he himself will be a candidate for President in 1852. Also, it means opening the way to more politi- cal competition in Mexico. This is the first time since the revolu- tion that a bona fide opposition party has set up in business on permanent basis; government politicos always blocked such a step.
 Now, other groups-notably a rightist, Catholic backed organiza- tion-will soon follow the popular party's lead. The PRI itself will remain as a middle-of -the-road group but probably cannot replace the strength it has lost on the far left. The next Presidential election, therefore, should be a wide-open, hotly contested race, with candidate for every taste.

program covered q portion Of the

the numbers listed were Beethoven's
Sonata op. 8la," Chopin's less IA
miliar "Nocturne In B fat major"
and his "Scherzo In B fiat minor"
It was in this latter that the
pianist's natural talent could be fully

three programmatic parts supposedly

austere first Allegro was softer in
contour and the lovely, serene Ro-
nance was exquisite in an ethereal
way. The grave character OF the
work was not overlooked, nor its
virility, but they were tempered
with feeling and expressed with re-
markahle tonal beauty. Yet, in Rev.

q skill of another kind. No infoma-
ton about the composer is at hand
except that he was born In 1896,

phere of the still living Massenet

Clinical Team Stressed
In treating Alcoholism

The value Of clinical teams" COM
posed of physicians, psychologists,
psychiatrists and social welfare
workers in the treatment of alcohol
ism was stressed at an institute on
alcoholism last night.
The institute was attended by .
capacity crowd in the auditorium Of
the District Medical Society, IT'S M
street NV, under auspices Of the
Washington Committee for Educa-
ton Of Alcoholics, which is affiliated
with the national committee, divi-
sion Of the Yale Plan on Alcoholism.
DR.. Robert H. Felix of the mental
hygiene division of the United States
Public Health Service, quoted figures
showing the prevalence of alcohol
ism, its cost to society and its physi-
cal and mental effects.
He explained the Importance OF
trained clinical teams in evaluating
alcoholic cases and then, by pooling
resources, establishing cure and re-
Mobilization. Such teams, it Is an
ticipated, will function here when
first funds becoming available next
month under the Hebert Act, which
taxes liquor and beer license to the
extent of $4,000 a year for estab-
lishment of alcoholic clinics.
Representative Miller, Republican
Of Nebraska, who Is physician and
whose District Subcommitte favor
ably reported the Hebert Act in the
House, briefly reviewed the legislas
ton and said I'VE are plowing some
new ground in setting up clinics
The Yale plan, with its various
divisions of research, public in
formation and summer schools or

Marty Mann, Of New York, execu-
tive director of the National Com

The four players bring distinc-

which has refinement OF line and

the instruments has at times q spe-
cial sweetness and purity that gives
an elevated stamp to their playing.
It Is not always maintained when
more rugged tone Is required nor is
there great variety OF dynamics en-
ployed to run the gamut OF emo
tion in the sturdier works. Yet the
elegance and smooth roundness OF
the artists delivery and their well
knit ensemble results In an indi-
viduality in performance and a
musical approach different from
that Of groups familiar here through
many hearings.
Theirs is not the SonorouS playing
of Beethoven that stresses his ar
dor and intensity. Rather, while
aware of it, the artists refine his
outspokenness and tighten his seri-

Platinum Foxes Possible

BY depriving ordinary silver
foxes OF one of the "B" group Of
vitamins. 1t is possible to obtain a
platinum fox. This discovery was
made at University Of California.
However. the platinized foxes do
not produce furs so durable as the
Norwegian variety. The only fox
mat IS being raised commercially
to any great extent in the United
States is the silver fox. Perhaps
they lend themselves to confine-
ment better than most wild ami
mails. The grey fox is much slower
than the red fox. The red fox has
been known to cover a given dis
lance at the rate of 30 miles per
hour.
