With CIA Defending Its Position,
Novy's Role Considered q Factor

The question Of why this
Nation was found wanting
in the Cuban situation is
shaping up as a contest be-
tween the intelligence service
and those responsible for the
sustaining military opera
tionS.
The Central Intelligence
Agency is taking the position
more or less openly that its
estimates of the situation
we're correct and that the in
formation furnished Presi-
dent Kennedy was therefore
accurate. 1t is denied that
any responsible officials in or
near the administration are
speaking to the contrary.
Thus the orphan child is
left on the doorstep of those
responsible for the sustaining
activities. This surely means
the United States Navy, given
the Naval base at Guantan-
amo and the fact that Cuba
is an island. In the present
covert propaganda battle, the
Navy and any other service
arms which may have been
involved have been slow to
give tongue.
AS the Navy is justly fam
Gus for its ability to get its
views before the public, this
condition of affairs cannot
last long. The President can
appoint all the boards he
likes to investigate and
assume full responsibility for
the decision-making but the
furor of speculation is not
going to die down.

Messages and Uncertainty

hasn't been studied before.
The new tax-incentive plan
is really a sop to businesS-an
attempt to quiet the growing
clamor for a sensible policy
on depreciation allowances.
What kind of planning can
be done for the next five
years upon reading the Pres
ident'S message? Here is one
paragraph in it which is an
example of how to confuse
business:
II believe this investment
tax credit will become a use
full and continuous part of
our tax structure. But it will
be a new venture and remain
in need of review. More
over, it may prove desirable
for the Congress tO modify
the credit from time to time,
so as to adapt it to the needs
of a changing economy"
Just as a business reaches
the middle stage of a three
or five-year program, the
Congress or the Treasury by
regulation can upset the
whole applicant. Who wants
to take risks of that kind in
business? The usual argu-
ment-and it runs through
the Kennedy messages
that the Treasury cannot af-
ford the loss in revenue in
this or that plan, so the sens
ible and logical thing cannot
be done because it may
cause a loss of revenue.
It's the same old story. The
administrations advisers do
not take into account ap-
parently that a temporary
reduction to accomplish a
basic reform can be followed
by a huge increase in Treas
ury tax receipts over a long
period. The tendency, un-
fortunately, is to urge short
term remedies, and this in
turn produces short-term re-
coveries and recurring recess
SionS.
Sooner or later, the Con-
gresS will have to write a new
tax law, and it is to be hoped
that the actual operations of
American business and the
requirement for planning
over periods longer than just
a few months or a year will
be given serious considera-
ton.

In fact he has stirred it
the more by naming CIA
Director Allen Dulles and Ad-
miral Arleigh A. Burke, Chief
of Naval Operations, to assist
General Maxwell Taylor, a
retired Army officer, and At
torney General Robert Ken
nedy in finding out what
happened.
The first impulse here was
to question and even deride
the spectacle of men being
charged in a very real sense
to investigate themselves. But
the President has a cool logic
of his own special brand in
a tight situation.
Director Dulles is ap-
parently to be given every
latitude to tell his story and
argue for it before General
Taylor and Robert Kennedy.
The same opportunity is be-
ing given Admiral Burke. The
sessions should be fascinating
but of course will never be
made public, certainly to any
significant degree.
NonethelesS the President
will in the end make certain
decisions based on what the
Taylor commission puts into
its record and Taylor then
recommends. Those decisions
will become known through
new appointments.
The betting here is that

tenure in his sensitive office

advisers who are only Idea
men" But he is turning more
and more to those who are
first of all men of proved
competence and toughness
in action-to those who in
public affairs are combat
types rather than staff Of
ficer types.
Two men, therefore, are
now the men closest to the
President. One is his brother,
Attorney General Robert
Kennedy. The other is Vice
President Lyndon johnson.
Both were intimately in
volved in the Presidents own
greatest personal crisis before
now, Bob Kennedy as an
indispensable ally in the
fight for the presidential
nomination and Lynd on
Johnson as a powerful
opponent.
The President knows from
experience their determina-
ton, their fighting morale
and that neither, whatever
his faults, is in the least way
afflicted by mushineSs.
He also knows their 10y
alty-Bob Kennedy's unques-
tioning brotherly loyalty;
Mr.. Johnson'S more imper-
sonal loyalty to an admins
tration of which he is an
elected part.
To talk to the President
Is to see a man much altered
in recent weeks. He is still
calm and laconic. But no
casual gaiety is in evidence
now. He wastes no angry
recriminations against any,
body within his Government
for the Cuban failure. He is
fully prepared to take, and
even to insist upon, the final
responsibility which he
knows is his anyhow.

Presidents Post-Cubu Decisions

The forthcoming review Of
our intelligence operations
and our capacity to fight
guerrilla actions was not or
dered as a meurnful autopsy
over the past. 1t was ordered
solely to find out what we
need for the future.
The President is wryly
amused at the self-serving
leaks which have been going
on around here to suggest
that one fellow was right
and another to blame. He
is not hunting heads to chop
off. All the same, this cor
respondents firm impression
is that the Presidents basic
reaction to Cuba recalls what
old Fleet Admiral Ernie"
King said when he was called
to Navy command after Pearl
Harbor: When they get into
trouble they send for the so
and sos."
The term 80 and SOS" is
not meant to suggest bad or
constituencies men. Rather it
describes the unterrified
"hardnoses," the men who
once committed to a thing
will carry it through to the
end.
Finally, some predictions
are made on this columniSt's
own responsibility alone: The
Central Intelligence Agency
within months will see the
retirement as director of
Allen W. Dulles, a holdover
who had not intended to
serve permanently. Its new
head will be a "hardnose,"
possibly even Robert Ken
nedy himself and possibly
another such as Navy Secre-
tary John Connally. Mr.. Con-
nally. an old johnson man."

with which Bob Kennedy

WILLIAM S. WHITE

John F. Kennedy is now
feeling for the first time the
full chill loneliness of that
terrible and unsharable uI-
innate responsibility which
lies upon him as President.
He is by no means isolated
from advisers, but the truly
intimate circle is narrowing
in the afterlight of the Gu
ban tragedy. Setback and
sorrow (sorrow for the anti
Castro Cuban patriots who
died in the lost Cuban in
vasion is frankly shown by
the President have made
Mr.. Kennedy deeply aware
that in the last hour of every
crisis he is a man alone. At
the end, decisions of fateful
consequences are his alone.
All this he well knew aca-
demically, of course, before
he took office. But a newly
trained soldier may know in
his mind that a coming &C
ton will be bloody without
truly apprehending it in his
whole being until he actually
goes through that action. 1t
is much this way with the
President.
He had long known in his
mind that since all life was
a series of struggles, presi-
dental life would be a series
of great struggles, indeed.
But a special aWareness of
the mortal nature Of those
struggles has now come upon
him-not from theory but
from experience.
So he is doing now what
is natural to a man whose
life-aS a Naval officer dur
ing the war and as a politi-
cian-has been based more
upon action than words. He
is not shutting out those

DAVID LAWRENCE

What's the hurry-or isn't
there hurry enough? The
first three months Of the
Kennedy administration give
an impression of hustle and
hustle, if not helterskelter.
Much has been promised
and much has been talked
about on televiSion and in the
press, but very little in the
way of concrete accomplish
ment toward the building of
a sound economy is as yet
in sight.
While the public opinion
polls show that the President
has gained in popularity since
the election, members of Con-
gresS who have taken sound
ings back home say that the
Kennedy legislative program
hasn't achieved the support
that a new administration
would naturally expect.
But there's a reason for
this paradox. The truth is
the people are bewildered by
the tens of thousands of
words from Task forces"
and academicians. Twenty
nine messages totaling about
$4,000 words have been sent
to Congress by President
Kennedy as contraSted with
a third of that many words
in Is messages in the first
80 days of the Eisenhower
administration in 1858. The
members of Congress are
baffled, too. When the COM
mittees in both Houses begin
seriously to study the num-
erouS legislative proposals of
the President, it is likely
that there'll be more support
for the main points of his
program.
Messages with carefully
balanced phrases are not. of
course, a substitute for laws
to be written by Congress.
The country still doesn't
know just what kind of tax
program it can expect. Moth
ing is more important than
the tax rates which corpora
tionS and individuals are ex-
pected to pay.

longer. In this connection
present discussions of the
Cuban plight have raised an
interesting question.
1t is whether it is wise to
make a public figure with
important political connec-
tions the head Of an intelli-
gence agency. Allen Dulles is
the brother Of the late John
Foster Dulles. to whom
President Eisenhower gave
unlimited scope in foreign
policy. Thus tendency eX-
lists for Republicans to feel
that the Dulles record both
in State and CIA is their
record.
Congress is responsible for
the fact that the CIA head
must be confirmed by the
Senate and subject to free
debate, mostly critical. The
legislation creating CIA in
l947 so provides.
Furthermore it is the opin-
ion of leading Constitutional
lawyers that a tight official
secrets act such as Great
Britain has would be uncon-
stitutional or at the very
least subject to severe and
searching challenge in the
courts. The CIA certainly
could not successfully seek
such a measure or propose
that the CIA legislation be
re-worded to give it chiefs
with a passion for anonymity.
The President has already
mentioned the handicaps any
free society has in intelligence
work, given such facts. He
also knows we'll the DISPOSE

served so long.

Presidents 2o Reports Held Bewildering
And the Tax Program Confusing

tax changes is that they have
been drawn by inexperienced
men who are more theoretical
than practical. The PreSi-
dents message on tax re-
form was drafted by persons
who are apparently versed in
theories of taxation but
know little about what really
makes business grow.
Temporary expedients may
be important but long range
planning is even more so. A
tax plan that's temporary
isn't likely to be taken as
seriously as one that will
cover a fixed period within
which expenditures for mod
ernization or replacement of
plant or equipment are made.
Expansion of business is not
an overnight affair or con-
fined to a single year. Take
the matter of tax deprecia-
ton allowances. The general
public for the most part
probably didn't read the
Presidents meSSage-it was
necessarily technical. But it
was doubtless read carefully
by corporation executives, in
cluding the treaSurerS and
the finance committees of
various companies. Here are
some typical sentences from
Mr.. Kennedy'S message that
spell uncertainty:
1T may be that, on exami-
nation, some of the existing
depreciation rules will be
found to be outmoded and
inequitable; but that is a
question that should be sep
arated from investment in
centiveS. A review of these
rules and methods is under
way in the Treasury Depart
ment as a part of its over
all tax reform study to de-
termine whether changes are
aDDrODriate and if SO what
form they should take. Adop-
ton of the proposed incentive
credit would in no way fore
close later action on these
aspects of depreciation"
