BERLIN. N.-An American CT
CROPPED in a jeep along the dark,
curfew-swept streets of Berlin one
bitterly cold night in February,
1916, nine months after the end
of the war.
There were no street lights.
Bubble piles and bomb craters
forced frequent detours. Soon
thoroughly lost. he sought out a
campfire surrounded by soldiers
and ran slam into the muzzle of a
Russian submachine gun.
Jamming on the brakes, he ut
tered quick prayer. "Tovarisch!
Amerikanski!" he said, exhausting
both his ingenuity and his Rus
sian vocabulary.
The Guard Come Closer
The Russian guard came closer,
gun at the ready. Then he appar-
emily saw the crossed American
days on the front of the jeep-
the insignia of the Stars and
Stripes, the Army newspaper, for
which the GI was correspondent.
The atmosphere melted. The
Russian shouldered his gun and
shouted to his colleagues. They
all gathered around the jeep,
chatting animatedly.
"Reichstag? Wo ist Reichstag?"
The GI asked. The ruins of the
German Parliament building made
a useful landmark near the sec
tor border.
you go down here past the
second shell crater, jog left where
the wires are down. and at the
third rubble pile turn right. You
can't miss it," said a Russian
Lieutenant.
Or words to that effect. He was
speaking in Russian.
Seeing the GI's bewilderment,
the Russians held a quick confer
ence Then they began to climb
into the open jeep, three of them
in the back, two in front, and one
each on the left and right running
boards. Let's CO." the lieutenant
said.
There 1t Was :.
Not without misgivings, the CT
complied. He followed the Rus
slams waved signals down one
street and up the next.

With the GA Intelligence Is a Science

ord in warning of the riots that
greeted Vice President Nixon in
South America; forecasting
Premier Khrushchev's rise to
power in the Kremlin: predicting
the French h-British invasion of
Suez in 1856.
There is still lot of argument
over whether CIA spotted the
entry of the Chinese Communists
into the Korean War. One re-
port is that CIA alerted President
Truman, who passed the word on
to Gen. Douglas MacArthur-who
discounted it.
The other report is that while
United States intelligence circles
spotted the Red Chinese troop
build-up, they failed to read its
proper significance.
In the post-mortem that CIA al.
ways makes, it was discovered
so this version goeS-that agents
had overlooked the Chinese army's
acquisition of large stocks of anti
bioticS. Had this bit of informa-
tion been known in advance, it
was said, C1A might have been
able to flag the danger.
But even reporting all the evi-
dence isn't sufficient. Good report
ing by CIA always runs the risk of
being ignored or misinterpreted
by the decision makers.
Administration critics are say
ing that this is what is happening
in the missile race. CIA has pro-
vided good intelligence reports on
Russian missile and space prog
resS, according to the critics, but
the administration has chosen to
put higher priority on holding the
budget line instead of speeding
United States "catch-up" pro-
gram.
Dulles Background
The CIA today is largely a
Dulles creation. What manner of
man is this master spy?
MIR. Dulles got his first taste of
spying in World War in Switzer-
land where he set up contacts
with friendly sources in the Bal
kans and Austro Hungary. He
quit the foreign service in 1925 to
practice law, but when World War
II broke out, Mr.. Dulles found
himself knocking on the door of
OSS Chief Maj. Gen. William j.
(Wild Bib Donovan.
Before long, Mr.. Dulles was back
in Switzerland. Despite Hitler's
boast of impregnable fortress Eu-
rope, Mr.. Dulles fashioned a spy
network that stretched over Eu-

Under cross-examination,
however, DR.. Kendall told a
United States District Court
jury that the chemicals we're
never tested to prove cancer
causing ability in humans.
Anybody would be foolish to
do that" he said.
The scientist also testified
that cigarette smoke contained
poison gases not visible to the

Otto Pritchard, 81, of Pitts
burgh, is seeking $1,250,000 in
damages from Liggett & Myers.
He contends that his smoking
of the firms Chesterfield Gig
arettes for % years caused
cancer in his right lung. The
lung was removed in 1858.
Earlier, DR.. Morton L. Levin,
head of the Epidemiology de-
partment of Roswell Park
Memorial Institute, in Buffalo,
N. Y, testified: II consider that
if everyone who smokes would
quit the lung cancer mortality
rate would be reduced by 80
per cent"
DR.. Levin said that it was
highly suggestive, but not con-
elusive" that heavy cigarette
smoking brings on lung cancer.
Even If all we knew about
lung cancer were the statistical
studies and nothing else, in my
opinion, that would be enough
to take preventive action" the
doctor added.

In Chicago he slipped away
from UAL officials while they

Deans undoing.
He tossed a towel across a
concession stand counter. On
the towel he had written:

Then he walked out of the
terminal and took a taxi to a

on the towel was apparently
nothing more than a gesture.

day he would try to start his

home. but next time. he said.
he'd try for a through airplane
