and "verging on the imtnoral1'
in the Senate Thursday. 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. .
