MAN DENIES FINDING GOD

Has Harrison Y. Kahlendorf,

hungry for hope. One Sunday he
"just happened" to 60 to Church.

Today there is new happiness

How Europeans Assess the CIA

telligence officials to any,
body except certain of their
own governments officials.
They don't like to talk about
methods or techniques-which
is natural. But in a recent
issue of Life Magazine a one
time high ranking Polish es-
pionage agent, now a defector
to the West, reveals how easy
it was for him and his fell
low agents to pick up infor-
nation from talkatiVe scien-
fists, workmen at factories
and even gossipy military Of
ficers inside the United States.
There is need, of course,
for specialists - those who
understand the requirements,
for instance, of the military
services. These investigators,
who deal with the gathering
of vital information for the
armed services, can be under
separate agencies co-ordi-
mated in a department of de-
fense. There is no argument
on that point.
But when it comes to ways
of frustrating the espionage
carried on by the Communists
through their own embassies
and legations throughout the
world and the activities of
Communist Party units sta
toned everywhere - all fl
nanced by Moscow-thiS is
a tremendous problem. 1t
means a vast personnel of
countereSpionage. and the re-
suits are often disappointing
as we'll as expensive.
Every major government
has to prepare itself for the
reverSeS that occur in intelli-
gence work. For all too often
ones own agent is bought or
compromised in some way by
the other side.
Most of the intelligence
folks with whom this writer
talked in Europe are curious
about what happened in Cuba
as far as the CIA was con-
cerned, though they have
formed their own conclusions
about that affair. But, above
all, this correspondent is i'm
pressed with the observation
made to him repeatedly that
it would be a mistake for the
American Government to go
off half-cocked and reorgan-
ize drastically it's intelligence
setup and take the risk Of
turning back the clock in re-
spect to Americas intelligence
achievements during the last
decade or more.

This one-industry town
politics being that one
industry - might fairly be
described as a chronically
depressed area these days,
so far as its ordinary busi-
ness is concerned.
Not many are making
much politics in Washington.
And even those who are
making any politics are
doing what in the old days
of the alphabetical agencies
was called made work.
They are working more or
less for practice. more or
less just to keep their hands
in, and in a very tentative
way, like a man polishing
fishing rod from which he
knows very well he will not
actually throw a line into
the water any time soon.
A harsh summer of for
eign crises-Berlin, of course,
being at the top of the list
has indefinitely adjourned
politics as it is usually prac-
ticed here. In this upside
down world, John F. Ken
nedy, the leading Democrat,
has become simply John F.
Kennedy, the President of
the United States.
His White House callers
often as not are solidly
Republican types from Big
Business and Wall Street
rather than partisan Demo-
Gratis.

of the South's position today.
Because it did not accept the
principles for the new South
as laid down by him, the
most noble figure Of the Civil
War, it still has illogical dis
elimination and alterations
of outlook. Not all its classes
Of people are we'll educated.
Too many of the South's
young people have not been
taught to think of them
selves first of all as good
Americans. Rather. many
have been conditioned to
react first as regionalists or,
even more narrowly, as
States Fighters in opposition
to the Union.
Having thus ignored the
best leadership and followed
too much of the worst, the
South has been cursed with
a blind orthodoxy of defeat,
martyrdom and a chip-on-
the-shoulder attitude which
causes them to defend even
that which is unworthy,
merely because it is Southern.
1t is almost unbelievable
that at this point in history
Southern leadership should
be in opposition to the de-
cision of courts and to the
simple, necessary granting Of
full citizenship rights to all
citizens. A people who would
prefer to do what is right
have been grievously de-
ceived by leaders who have
sought to make it appear
that the Federal Government
is hostile to their best in
terests and those of the
region.
The plight of education in
the South is one of desper-
alton. Yet there is leadership
which deceives the people by
saying that the Federal
Government seeks socially to
mix the races, as if schools
meant only dances or parties.
The South badly needs to
heed its most notable hero
Gen. Lee.

Foreign Crises Promote Biportisonship;

cally inland so, actually,
is his current interest in it.
What he is doing is not
merely trying to get help

Business fellows. He is also
getting advice from such men
on wide variety Of matters
ranging from where good ad-
ministrative talent for the
Government. can be found to
business ideas on economic
problems.
The Republican leader of
the Senate, Senator Dirksen
of Illinois, is often found to
be helping rather than
hampering the Administra-
ton on the big problems,
that is.
Senator Dirksen, indeed.
sometimes seems about as
vague about the existence of
the Republican National
Committee as Mr.. Kennedy
is about the Democratic Ma
tional Committee.

burg, former President Eli

he is constantly on call for

lationship which Mr.. Ken
nedy has struck up with Gen.
Eisenhower is being emulat-

An explanation of the bit
terness and strife created by
the attempt to commemorate
the strong federal union Of
States which grew out of the
Confederacy's defeat in the
Civil War lies in the South's
popular, but inaccurate, i'm
ages of its heroes.
The images of the military
leaders stop short with the
end of the fighting. In the
case of jefferson Davis, it is
that of an unpopular Presi-
dent martyred by the prison
cell. Gen. Robert E. Lee is
remembered as the deeply
sorrowing man who Surren-
dered at Appomattox. The
images end with the close of
the war.
The great pity, for example,
is that it is not the postwar
Lee who is the image held in
Sout ern hearts-rather
than the sorrowing man at
AppomattoX. There was an
other Lee. Yet the Gen. Lee
who, after the surrender, de-
voted his life to the educa-
ton of young men. and who
urged them to forget section
alism and be good citizens of
the United States, is not one
fully revealed in the text
books of today or in the pop
ular legends.
The Lee who spoke from
the small college named for
George Washington and
urged upon the South "the
thorough education of all
classes of people" as a pri-
mary need of the region is
all but unknown to the South
Of the post-Civil War years.

South to abandon all local
animositieS and make your

EN- ROuTE FROM ELL

EN- ROUTE FROM EU-
ROPE, Aug. 2S.-They know
a lot more in Western Europe
about intelligence work than
we do in America. This is
because they have been at 1t
longer.
Hence it was rather dis
quieting to have some of the
European officials who are
most experienced in intelli-
gence activities say privately
that they are worried about
the future of the Central In
telligence Agency in Wash
ington, which up to now has
been a bulwark of strength
in it's cooperation with Eu-
ropean governments. Oddly
enough, they wonder how so
much got into print about
the CIA and why American
officials haven't learned that
judgement of intelligence
work cannot be fairly based
on one episode like the
Cuban affair. They suspect
that intelligence and possibly
a desire by other agencies in
Washington to shift the
blame led to the controversy
over the future functioning
of the CIA.
Perhaps one of the most
skillful of the European in
telligence executives told this
writer the other day that
every intelligence organiza-
ton can be improved but
that, in trying to make this
type of setup conform to
other Government units,
there is danger of actually
impairing the CIA's useful
ness. He asked this cores
pondent, for instance, what
was going to be done with all
the information locked up in
the mind of Allen Dulles
when he "retires' at the end
of this year. Rightly or
wrongly, intelligence experts
do not favor putting every
thing down on paper for the
record. 1t involves too many
risks. Hence, they say a top
intelligence man should be
utilized as long as he is able
to function, even when "re-
tired"
About 80 years ago, when
this writer first began to
talk to intelligence officials
in Europe, he found them

States might in the course of

name being invoked by those
who wish to make Southern
ers feel hostility toward their
country.
The Lee who declared, In
advice to the South, that a
major aim of every South
erner should be to unite in
1.-The alignment of passion,
the dissipation Of prejudice
and the restoration of rea'
son." is the Lee largely un-
known.
Yet this was the real
Robert E. Lee. This was the
Lee who did not believe in
slavery, who did not agree
with the idea of secession.
1t was this Lee who at
tempted to provide the lead
ership of the years after APP
pomattox. The passions of
lesser men prevailed over
the counsel of Lee, who &C
cepted the reality behind the
polite, generous exchanges
at Appomattox.
The South did not proceed
in mighty effort to educate
all classes of it's people, to
allay passions and prejudice,
to restore the rule of reason.
1t did not accept the advice
of Gen. Lee to abandon all
local animosities and make
your sons Americans
The real Lee was pushed
aside. He was replaced by the
Marble Man on the court
house squares, by the man
whose troops were so bril-
liantly led in some of the
more titanic struggles Of the
war. Even his native State
refused the real Lee and
turned to other men whose
counsel ever since consistent
ly has opposed that of their
son worthy t. stand with
jefferson and Washington.
The denial Of the real Gen.
Lee is, in essence, the tragedy
