Constantine Brown:

The Central Intelligence
Agency, top organization for
gathering and evaluating vital
information affecting our ma
tional defense, is in for some
hard Shedding in the SD Con-
gress.
Some Republican legislators
consider that agency as too ex-
pensive for the results it has
produced. Others have expressed
the view that it has become
so top heavy and unwieldy that
it should be scrapped altogether
and replaced by new organiza-
ton.
Unofficial surveys show that
the CIA has expanded beyond
the purposes for which it was
established. In this rapid ex-
pansion it frequently has en-
ployed inexperienced personnel
which includes a number of bad
security risks. The director of
the agency, Gen. Walter Bedell
Smith, himself, had to admit
last october that this was the
case.
The CIA is responsible di-
rectly to the President of the
United States. It's director is ap-
pointed for a term of five years
subject to Senate confirmation.
But so far none of it's chiefs
has served that term. In six
years it has had four different
directors and this may account
for its hit-and-miss policies.
Rear Admiral Sidney Souers,
a reserve officer who served in
the naval intelligence during the
war, was its first director. He
had a nose" for intelligence.
But a few months after he
established the new organiza-
ton he left the service to be-
come executive secretary of the
National Security Council.
The successor, Gen. Hoyt

C|A Due for Some Big Changes
Surveys Show That It Has Many Weaknesses and
Evidently Will Attempt to Overhaul 1t Thoroughly

Vandenberg. a brilliant air COM
bat officer, had had only very
slight experience as chief of the
Army Intelligence in the months
following VI day. He accepted
the job at CIA at President
Truman's request. Because of
Vandenberg's lack of experience
in such complicated matters as
gathering, evaluating and diff
fusing intelligence he made little
progress in that organization.
But he contributed to its mush-
rooming by insisting that the
tried and experienced FBI agents
who had been entrusted with
the job in South America during
the war be replaced by his young
and inexperienced men of the
CIA.
When the job of chief of
staff of the Air Force became
available, Gen. Vandenberg ac-
cepted it and was replaced by
Admiral Roscoe Hillenkoetter
who had some intelligence ex-
perience and attempted to
streamline his organization in
keeping with the spirit and let
ter of the law. He remained as
director for nearly three years.
Admiral Hillenkoetter's main
deficiency was that he had no
political surface" like his two
predecessors. He eventually
Stubbed his toe on a political
rock, when he involuntarily put
Secretaries Dean Acheson and
Louis Johnson on the spot with
the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee. In August, 1850, when
these two cabinet officers ap-
peared before that committee
they were asked why they had
been caught mapping on the
Korean affair. Both replied
that the question should be
directed to the chief of the CIA.

the British are adamantly op-
posed.
Winston Churchill is a great
man to Americans. 1t it hard
to believe that whatever their
political views they will not give
him a warm welcome.
They are admittedly in
punitive mood. Like the ancient
Carthaginians they even appear
ready to punish their public
men for mistakes however in
nocently committed. There has
never been any sign that Mr..
Churchill was on their lists,
however.
The best guess is that Mr..
Churchill's only hazard is Gen.
Eisenhower's frame of mind. He
has had ample occasion to know
the General well. That he has
made the engagement at all is
evidence that he has confidence
of warm welcome. Perhaps he
has also sought counsel in this
matter from a close Eisenhower
friend. the famously wise B. M.
Baruch, who will be the Prime
Minister'S New York host.
Mr.. Churchill has always had
great confidence in the personal
approach. 1t worked magnif1-

to the enchantment Of life, to
art, and to the individual-the
great depersonalizer.
But Mr.. Berenson's view Is
never colored by passion; that
is what makes this book unique
among war diaries. Though off,
cially ex-communicado, he was
stealthily visited, was an avari-
cious reader of newspapers from
all countries, and a recipient Of
innumerable rumors-hence the
first half of the title. But 1t is
remarkable how his reflective
mind was able to penetrate
through rumor into what was
actually occurring, and most re-
markable is his prescience OF
the future.
Thus, he saw clearly, when
few were thinking Of 1t at all,
that the defeat of Japan would
put China in the aggressive, an
nexing role in Asia. Nor does
he appear to believe that any
thing short of the contradictions
and inconsistencies that arise
within all such empires can
permanently halt or disrupt
such a course.
And he is greatly concerned
about the future of what we
have come to call "the free
world" Very early in his diary
in January, 1941-he writes:
What shall we be like when
this war is over? -.
1--WE AmericanS-shall we re-
main on the defensive If we get
militarized with huge standing
armies and great navies? With
like weapons in our hands, we
could not resist seeking outlets
for our energies in attempting
with the best intentions Of
course-to boss the world to
impose our adolescent
ideals, behind which we would
hide our own abuses. greeds. :"
just such possibilities have
long haunted my own mind. Can
a nation remain free if 1t is
imbued with a sense Of world
mission, even if that mission Is
to free others, by means Of
overwhelming military force? Is
not the American-U. N. one
world idealisrn, set up against
the Russian, likely to create here
in the long run, a pattern Of life
not diametrically different from
the one it is mobilized to
frustrate? Is it true that the
Western peoples, especially the
English-speaking ones. cannot
defend themselves except by
attempting to check the "en-
emy" in the most far-flung cor
ners of the globe?
The reflective, dispassionate
mind asks such questions. II 1t
Is too late to raise them, then
the process which Mr.. Berenson
apprehended is already far
advanced.

quentlv quoted in Britain to
combat those Conservatives in
Parliament who try to make an
issue of it.
The British government
since the May case broke in
1945. has been caught with an
other failure that emphasizes
it's laxity. Donald MacLean and
Guy Burgess, who were in the
British diplomatic service here.
were both known to be Com
munists. Yet MacLean was in
charge of the so-called Ameri-
can desk in the British Foreign
Office, where he had access to
all that Secretary Acheson was
telling the British government
confidentially at the same time
that important negotiations were
being conducted with the Rus
sian government, and Guy Bur-
CESS was a secretary at the Far
Eastern desk of the British
Foreign Office.
To this day the British have
never made a clean breast Of
the MacLean-Burgess affair,
endeavoring instead to soft
pedal it and give the impress
sion that the two men were of
bad character, anyway. But
this does not clear up at all
why MacLean not only held for
a long time an important post
in the London government but
why, while he was at the British
Embassy here, he was permitted

Lowell MeHett:

In the opinion of John Foster
Dulles, a man should not be
condemned without proof. 1t is
an attitude that reflects credit
on the man soon 70 be Secretary
of State, as nearly every one
will agree. At least every one
will agree in principle, although
some persons are less rectitu-
dinous when it comes to specific
cases. They are disposed to fall
back on the old saying that
where there is smoke there must
be fire and accept the guilt OF
any one loudly accused. Mr.. Dull
les is made of better stuff.
This has become known
through the testimony Of Alfred
Kohlberg, a New York importer,
sometimes called chief lobbyist
of the China Lobby. Mr.. Kohl
berg told the House committee
investigating American philan-
thropic foundations that on
learning that Alger Hiss was be-
ing elected to the presidency of
the Carnegie Endowment for
international Peace, he went to
see Mr.. Dulles, chairman Of the
board and, apparently. principal
sponsor of Mr.. Hiss. He warned
Mr.. Dulles against Mr.. Hiss. MI
DULLES, he said, told him several
persons had described Mr.. Hiss
as "a sort of fellow traveller"
but that there was no concrete
proof and a man should not be
condemned without proof.
In other words Mr.. Dulles
refused to turn his back on Mr..
Hiss just because he had been
accused.

sent for and he presented
Recommendation showing that he
had kept the President and the
State and Defense Departments
sufficiently abreast of the North
Koreans preparations for the
officials to have shown greater
vigilance.
Admiral Hillenkoetter re-
ceived warm congratulations
from the Senators and incurred
the enmity of the two Secre-
taries. Within four weeks he
was sent to sea and replaced by
Gen. Bedell Smith, who is ex-
pected to relinquish his posi-
ton soon after January 20.
The lack of continuity of
direction is one of the handi-
caps from which the very costly
CIA is suffering. While origi-
nally it was designed as an
agency to evaluate intelligence
gathered by the armed services
and the State Department. it
eventually extended its opera
tions to intelligence gathering
of it's own all over the globe.
Moreover, the CIA established
an intelligence service in the
United States - and this Is
definitely contrary to law. And
while. as in the case Of the
Office of Strategic Services
during the war, some good comes
from its agents abroad, it can
not be said that today the CIA
serves its purposes or can justify
the hundreds of millions which
have been spent on its opera
tionS.
There is no question that in
telligence these days is vitality
important to the country's
security. But the new Congress
feels strongly that the CIA must
be thoroughly overhauled and
possibly start all over from
scratch.

be exchanged between Britain
and the United States. Congress
would have to amend the pres
ent law to give Britain more
data than she now gets.
Meanwhile, Moscow is playing
a brazen game. Confident that
neither the British nor the Amer
lean Government will do any
thing to counteract and expose
their activities, the Communists
have formed committees both in
England and in America to con-
duct public propaganda to save
the Rosenbergs from the elec-
trio chair. Many innocent
Americans have Joined the
committees.
The Daily Worker in Lon
don and the Daily Worker
in New York have carried on
their first pages in recent weeks
articles with big headlines urg-
ing that the movement to free
the Rosenbergs be accelerated.
Just why Communist newspa-
pers in London and New York
should be so solicitous about
two American citizens accused
Of espionage and not be con-
cerned with the hundreds of
other persons accused of capi-
tai crimes is so transparently a
Communist government tactic
that one wonders why the
American Government is SO
strangely Indifferent to the
campaign. Is it possible that
Mr.. Truman really intends to
commute the sentence, thus re-
moving the death penalty for all
practical purposes in America
from any future acts Of trea-
son? The purpose of punish
ment is to deter others-to set
an example of what will happen
to those who commit similar
crimes.
If the furnishing of atomic
information to Russia under cir
cumstances such as have pro-
duced world tension is not to
merit the severest penalty in
either Britain or the United
States, one need not wonder any
longer why Stain considers the
Western democracies so soft
that he can start Korean wars
and inf1ict casualties on Ameri-
can boys without fear that his
agents in Britain or America
will get any harsher punish
ment than a life in jail for q
few years with plenty Of food to
eat. lots of books to read and
pianos to play.

This does not disqualify Mr..
Dulles for the high and impor-
tant post to which President
elect Eisenhower is elevating
him. Rather, it reveals in him
the judicial temperament and
-mindedness a Secretary of
State should have. Unhappily,
however, it also presages for him
a troublesome time in Office if
he adheres to his stern standard.
It does unless a change should
occur in the national state of
mind. For the man Mr.. Dulles
is succeeding has been well-nigh
crucified for having at one time
taken the same attitude toward
the very same man, Mr.. Hiss.
Dean Acheson has been held up
as nothing less than a traitor
by the superpatriots of the press
and politics for having said he
would not turn his back on Mr..
Hiss. True, Mr.. Hiss had just
been indicted by a grand jury,
but the courts warn us con-
tinually that an indictment is
not a conviction, and that no
man should be adjudged guilty
until he has been convicted. And
many a man has been indicted,
only to be proved not guilty on
trial. Mr.. AcheSon, like Mr..
Dulles, was following the die
tates of Anglo Saxon justice, as
we'll as friendship.
If the American people do not
want another man of Mr.. Ache
sons caliber-in this one re-
spect at least-in charge of our
foreign affairs, the time to start
clamoring for his blood is before
he takes Office. The place to-
