The chamber voted- 28-1 to limit such back collections' to i Aug. 1, 1955. '. The action came on HB1447 which as amended would have wiped out all past due claims, and permit the commission to collect only on future obliga tions. . . ', , -. .. Sen. Thomas R. Mahohey (D-Portland) declared that some people are "suddenly" getting bills from the Welfare Commission on claims dating back to 1949, and some bills are as high as $4,000. He said the commission is using methods "which would shame a hard-boiled collection agency." The relative responsibility law requires relatives of those on welfare to make a contri bution to the care of their rel atives, depending on the rela tives' income. ' Sen. Alfred Corbett (D-Porf-land) said he couldn't go along with wiping out , all back,' Claims but amended a motion to re-refer the bill with spe cific instructions to let the commission go back as far as .1955. ' ', , , . Corbett called it a compro mise and Mahoney agreed to this. Sen. Melvln Goode (R-Al-bany) said he preferred to see the bill go to, the Ways and Means committee to study its impact on the budget. Taking all back claims off the books, he said, could cost the state $1.5 million. " . ; Sen. Carl Francis (R-Day-ton) said the collections are illegal and the practice as car ried out by the commission "verges on the immoral." Mahoney contends the en tire law is unconstitutional and once fought it in the. courts, winning in the lower court but losing in the Su preme Court. . . Gov, Mark Hatfield en dorses retirement of all past claims. The bill will have to come back from the Senate commit tee, win final passage on the floor and go back to the House for concurrence in the Senate amendments. , A , By RICHARD SPONG (Editorial Research Reports) Washington-American press and wire services generally, if privately, admit that Fidel Castro's overthrow of Dictator Fulgencio Batista was one of the worst covered stories of recent history. It now begins to appear that the role of the Central Intelligence Agency in organizing Cuban rebel forces for the ill-fated "in vasion" of Castro's Cuba was another, if of slightly lesser magnitude. - Television news commenta tor Charles Colllngwood charges that CIA's participa tion had been "an open secret for months." Specifically, Col lingwood points out that the agency's part in the rental of land in Guatemala for train ing rebels had been turned up in October by Prof. Ronald Hilton, of Stanford Univer sity, and published in an ob scure learned journal, , Coverage Sparse ' "The Nation" magazine took up the story in Novem ber, and there have been oc casional references in "Time." Perhaps the initial daily press account was a front-page story In the N.Y. Times, Jan. 10, which detailed some of the lactivity at the mysterious Re- talhuleu air base in Guate mala but did not name the CIA. Except for' subsequent occasional coverage by that newspaper, the story was gen erally ignored by the press until after the abortivte land ings in Cuba. The difficulty of a demo cratic government's conduct ing clandestine operations is pointed up in the CIA-Cuba story. President John F. Ken nedy is reported to have re marked wryly at a National Security Council meeting on April 22 that there was "no New York Times" to print the news of what the Communists were doing in Laos and Viet Nam. , Dual Role . The role of the press is of course dual: it has a responsi bility to keep the public in formed of grave matters and it has a responsibility to pre serve national security. How ever, as Colllngwood points out, the CIA-Cuba story has been "in the public domain" since publication of Professor Hilton's story. (Colllngwood blithely ignores the consider ation, incidentally, that if the press neglected the story, so I did television and radio.) The CIA activity was of long duration. Indeed, "The Nation" flatly states: "The (Cuban) cloak-and-dagger op eration of the CIA was initi ated as early as 1959." "Time" estimates the cost to have ranged "from $135,000 month ly to as high as $500,000 on occasions." Government-Wide Probe The study of U.S. para military activities ordered by President Kennedy April 22 is to be government-wide, but obviously it will bear down on the CIA role in support of the anti-Castro forces. It may well have the effect of fore stalling the proposal made by Sen. Mike Mansfield (D Mont.) five years ago, and re newed after the U2 Incident of last year, that a permanent joint committee be established to make continuing studies of the agency. Congress has every right to investigate CIA. Congress established ' the agency in 1947; Congress votes its funds (though only a few members know what they're voting for); Congress in 1949 greatly extended CIA's authority. But the CIA Act of 1949 specifically exempts the cloak-and-dagger agency from the provisions of any law requir ing publication or disclosure of the "organization, func tions, names, official titles, salaries, or numbers of per sonnel employees." This kind of freedom from public scrutiny has given CIA both its strength and its oc casional weaknesses. In this respect the special study group ordered by the Presi dent, on balance, would seem to be better able to investi gate the agency without airing its secrets than a Congression al committee would be. . .
