CIA’S Successes

First it was alleged assassination plots against foreign
leaders and spying on Americans. Now, poison dart guns

ish toys; simulated germ warfare attacks against the New
York subway system; a secret cache of toxins, maintained
against presidential orders, potent enough to wipe out a
small city.
What revelation will next be dredged out of a seemingly
bottomless pit of nefarious Central Intelligence Agency ac-
tivities? More important, what is to be done with an agency
that has violated the charter by which it was created and
has madelhe U.S. look both foolish and vicious in the eyes
of the world? -u
It would be one thing if the continuing parade of allega-
tions against, and admissions by, the CIA could be balanc-
ed by showing what it has done during its existence to en-
hance the security and further intelligence apparatus is
supposed to be secret. The CIA may have scored espionage
triumphs the public knows nothing about.
But the agency’s bungles have been so numerous and

Wanted Israel Boycott
is difficult to see how the U.S. would be any worse off with
no intelligence apparatus at all.
WASHINGTON-Rangy Rog-
ers Morton, the personable but
stubborn Secretary of Com-,
meree, acted illegally by refus-
ing to give Congress the names
of American firms who were
urged by the Arabs to boycott Is-
rael.
This is the conclusion reached
in a confidential study re-
searched and written by legal ex-
perts for the House Oversight
and Investigations subcommit-
tee. Chairman John Moss, D-
Calif., has privately circulated
the study to subcommittee mem-
bers in preparation for hearings
Monday.
During that showdown testi-
mony, Morton could be cited for
Even if one w«rt lo excuse such a monumental error as~
the CIA’s failure to predict Egypt’s invasion of the Sinai in
1973, or even to realize a real war had started when it was
already in progress — after all, “you canrt win ’em all’’ -
it is shocking to be told that in at least one instance when
'the CIA had solid information, it collaborated in the dis-
tortion of that information to serve political ends.
In yet another damaging allegation, former CIA intel-
ligence analyst Samuel A. Adams told the House Intel-
ligence Committee that the 1968 Communist Tet offensive,
which cost nearly-4,000 American lives, caught U.S. forces~
by surprise because top officials in and out of the CIA had
ordered false figures about enemy troop strength to show
that the Viet Cong was running out of men. He backs up his
charge with cables from former U.S. Ambassador Ells-
worth Bunker and Gen. Creighton Abrams, deputy U.S.
commander in Vietnam at the time.
“Although our aim was to fool the American press, the
public and the Congress,” said Adams, “we in intelligence
succeeded b%t in fooling ourselves.”

lately, the EPA has been
granting contracts to Kendall’s
National Center for Resource
Recovery for several garbage-re-
covery projects. But the EPA
and NCRR don ’t see alike on the
question of throwaways.
For one thing, the NCRR
' allegedly slipped penalty clauses
into contracts with cities, in-
tended to discourage the cities
from passing laws that curtail
throwaways.

Sussman, noting that Kendall
“was a very large fund raiser for
the Nixon campaign,’' com-
plained about NCRR’s aggres-
siveness and arrogance. The
’group held itself out, wrote Suss-
man, as the only solution to gar-
bage recovery. ■
“They may exert more pres-
sure than we do. They spend mil-
lions to push their Special inter-
ests. We are limited to nickels
and'‘dimes, and must work
through channels. I believe they
would like to see EPA go away."

This would seem to be a fitting epitaph for an agency
that, in the opinion of a growing number of Americans, has
outlived whatever usefulness it may ever have had. Cer-
tainly, it is becoming more and more manifest that a top-

Karate Gone Wrong
Hey, hold still!”:
The recent wave of “martial arts” movies has trans-
formed the ancient Eastern discipline of karate into a com-
mercialized arid potentially lethal sport.
So claims George Takahashi„a fourth-dfegree black belt
and instructor of karate at the -University of California in
Los Angeles. Because of the declining empMSls on the
