This Changing World
New Deal for CIA Is Expected
With Appointment of Gen. Smith

appropriated the necessary money
and we were on our way. Because
tens Of millions were being spent
on the newly organized group,
there was q feeling that the CHA
should be at least as good as the
British or the French intelligence
services, which are. respectively.
500 and 800 years old.
After some squabbles in Con-
gress, which wanted the new or
garization to be of non-military
character. the CHA was created
with personnel recruited from all
walks of life and a preponderance
of civilians who had served in
the armed forces.
Director Reports to President.
BY law. the CHA director is re-
sponsible to the President. He
works in close cooperation with
the State and Defense Depart
ments but is not in any way under
their jurisdiction. This Is some
times dlspleasing to these secre-
taries. particularly when the CIA
evaluations do not quite tally with
their views. It is probably human
that the secretaries Of State and
Defense should wish to have some
control over the director of our
top intelligence organization, or
at least to influence his judgment.
Admiral Hillenkoetter, a regular
Navy man, could not bring him.
self to even slightly color his
presentations to dovetail with the
political views Of the State De-
partment or the economy program
of the Pentagon. Thus, he in
Cured the enmity of these organ
izations.
He was frequently accused of
incompetence and of not keeping
abreast of what was going on in
the camps of our potential enc
mics. For instance. when the
North Korean attack was un-
leashed, a worried and angry Con-
gress called Secretary of State
Acheson to testify before q Sen
ate Committee. The Secretary
told the Senators the intelligence
agency had failed completely.
When asked why. he replied that
the Senators had better put that
question to Admiral Hillenkoetter.
The director was summoned. He
appeared before a very hostile
group of Senators and submitted
q wealth of cables and reports
proving conclusively that for
nearly a year his organization had
sounded the warning that the
North Koreans had the capability
of q surprise attack and that it
was somebody else's fault If these
warnings had not been given
proper consideration.
His Recommendation was 50 COM
plete and satisfactory that at the
end of a two-hour grilling he was
warmly congratulated by the in
|quisitors who only a few hours
earlier were determined to get mis-
scalp. Somebody else got it.
Because of his great prestige,
Gen. Smith is not likely to have
similar experiences and the Cen
trail Intelligence Agency, while
unable to perform miracles" for
a long time, will at least be less
subjected to political crossfire.

goats by reason of their positions,
past utterances and some events
that were quite outside their con-
troll.
Curiously. President Truman
himself survives almost intact,
perhaps largely because he has
acted so boldly along all fronts
since the North Koreans marched.
Too, he is not himself running, so
the Republicans can afford to
concentrate on the two men who
have no popular following but
WELD great power here.
The current hysteria about
Secretaries Acheson and johnson
has been famed by Republicans
but it has also infected the
Democrats who have signally
failed to realize the political haz-
ards of their failure to stand with
the President in defense of the
two men. A narrow escape last
week in the House resulted from
lack of leadership in this sector.
Started With Priest.
The difficulty began when Rep
resentative Percy Priest, the DEM
ocratic whip, went home to Ten
nessee to campaign and was
pinned to the mat by some viru-
lent Acheson-Johnson critics. Mr.
Priest is naturally an admins
tration man; when he replied
rather innocently that perhaps
the two Secretaries ought to re-
sign. he was rejecting the cur
rent blindness in the Democratic
lobbies to the cold political fact
that all the Democrats are in this
one together.
Plainly shocked and annoyed
the President told off Rep. Priest
at a press conference and said the
two would stay.
But when the chastened Ten.

open warfare you can shoot back;
but this is not possible in the
underground" warfare in Wash
ington.
Gen. Smith is less likely to be-
come such a target. His pre-
decessor was an able and good in
telligence officer, but he lacked
the national prestige the new di-
rector has. There is less likelihood
that members of President Tru-
mans cabinet and others will be
as meddlesome with the usually
short tempered former chief OF
staff to Gen. Eisenhower as they
were with the young and relatively
unknown naval officer.
Gen. Smith accepted his new
assignment reluctantly after hav-
ing politely refused several times
in the last four months. He was
finally ordered by the President to
take the job. AS an Army officer,
on active duty, he could do moth
ing else. But he is aware that
even under the most brilliant
man. the CIA can work no
miracles.
Before the Central Intelligence
Agency was organized by an act of
Congress in 1916 we had no es-
pionage worthy of that name. We
improvised our intelligence dur
ing the first world war. But as
soon as the shooting was over, it
was dissolved. Congress did not
want to appropriate money for
such "undemocratic" and "un-
American" purposes as spying.
ca Service BalIooned.
The Army and the Navy used to
keep only skeleton organization
in time of peace. When the second
World War started, a new ex-
panded intelligence service was
put together in a hurry by both
branches of the armed services. It
was as efficient as any improvisa-
ton can be. But soon after the
war, the Army Intelligence was
reduced to a mere routine body.

prodding of Admiral Sidney Sou.

Aspiration Not Achievement.
Nevertheless, aspiration is not

The United Nations assumed a
union Of sovereign representative
states, organized to submit to law
in their dealings with each other.
But 1t never. for a moment, was
anything of the sort.
From the outset it included

Russia any of these?

1t is now said that the Chinese
national government does not
represent the Chinese people. This
may be true. But it by no means
follows that its successor does
represent them. Is there any con-
ceivable way of knowing, under
the circumstances obtaining?
What constitutes the claim of a
government to represent a nation?
There must. one would think, be
some principle by which the claim
could be tested. That it holds ef-
fective power, no matter how OBJ
tained or maintained? Any sue
cessful gang of thugs could ad-
vance that claim. The clear fact
is that numerous so-called U. N.
states are not states but abject
colonies. whose people are without
representation Of any kind.
1t is impossible, in reason, to
imagine an organization for the
purpose Of substituting law for
violence, unless its members share
some common notion Of what con-
stitutes the basis and premises of
acceptable law.
Notion Is Preposterous.
But the principles of govern
ments are revealed in their in
ternal policies. How could one ex-
pect Bolshevists to grant an inter-
national body rights in law which
they refuse their own people? Or
to promote conciliation via fifth
columns? The notion is preposter-

Of universal reconciliation outside
the framework of principles is
leading us. Not into world order,
but into world anarchy.
The U. N. has thus been only
an arena of power politics. No one
who has listened to the debates in
its forum can conceivably believe
that they promote peace.
But the U. N. has ended diplo-
macy.
In the game of power politics,
war has never been abolished, but
wars often have been avoided, not
by reference to a nonresident uni
versal law, but from cold consid-
Grafton of elf-interest.
Today power politics are played,
not between ambassadors quietly
sounding each other out and able
to retreat without public loss of
face, but in public theater, with
the whole world attending, and
kissing or applauding the various
protagoniSts as they theatrically
take irretrievable positions and
burn all bridges.
So the world. God help us, is
given to actors, improvising, as
they go along. a drama that,
though its outcome is the destiny
OF mankind, lacks even the ele-

really beside the point. Actually

cording to the authorS-Presi-
dent Truman is a sincere and

Much of the material dealt
with in this book, however, deals
with the personalities around
the president. Many of them
come in for severe and, at times,
almost brutal criticism. The an
tics of Gen. Vaughn, the Presi-
dents bemedaled military aid
and crony is caricatured most
mercilessly. Treasury Secretary
Snyder is characterized as being
merely ignorant, shallow and
incompetent" Secretary of State
Dean Acheson, so fiercely at
tackled by the Republicans and
all enemies of the President, is
pictured as one of the reliable
leaders of the Truman Admins
tration.
Commerce Secretary Sawyer
is pictured as a servant of Big
Business and as a totally reac-
tionary politician. And so it goes
for all of the important person
