It was a massive fail-on- nt intellicence and esDion- closcr agc on tne pri OI tne united States. The criticism has con tinued so hot that the other day Allen W. Dulles, recently retired director of the CIA, broke one of his own long standing rules and wrote this: "I know of no estimate that a spontaneous uprising of the unarmed population of Cuba would ensue." What he probably means is that the CIA made no such estimate, but the fact remains Dennis The Menace hh fr 'i 8 I Alice r mH UCU OFFERED TO W3Y SIT DBMS APRIL fOOtS MYl' that if the Cuban masses did , is something we can never not rise the whole project hope to do: it is espionage on was doomed from the start, a production line basis." A force of 1,500 Cuban exiles cannot defeat Castro troops totalling 200,000. Somebody in the government convinced somebody else that a small spark would light the fir:s of revolt. Counters Fixed Policy Dulles' statement was un usual in that the fixed policy of ihc CIA is never to deny or confirm any story. Thus there has been no comment on some other charges involv ing the CIA and the Bay of Pigs landing. Andrew Tully, in a recent book called "CIA: The Inside Story," says the CIA bungled the job on sev eral counts: The Cuban under ground was not notified of the invasion until too late; the CIA chose to do business with the extreme right-wing fac tion of the Cuban exiles thereby shunting aside men better equipped for a military landing that Castro's air iorte had been knocked out, an esti mate that turned out to be 100 per cent frong. After the debacle Kennedy refused to single out any per son or agency being responsi ble, but merely said, "there is blame enough for all." But it is significant that he order part in the adventure, Wheth er there is any connection or not, Dulles subsequently re ed an inquiry into the CIA's signed as CIA director and was succeeded by John A. McCone. Encounters Bad Luck Many persuns still criticize the CIA for the fact that pilot Frances C. Powers crashed onto Russian soil in his U2 plant and was captured. The facts seem to be that the only thing the CIA can be critici zed for is that it suffered a blinding stroke of bad luck. The flight of U2 planes over Russia had been goin& on for almost four years. Most of the time Dulles has been a brilliant espionage man, and this was one of his lop achievements. Information about the Soviet Union that could have been obtained in no other way poured into CIA headquarters month after month. A high British intelli gence officer who was aware of the rich harvest the U2 planes were reaping was frank In his admiration: "This The bad luck was that Powers was forced down and. that it happened shortly be fore President Eisenhower was to meet Nikita Khrush chev in Paris. There was plenty of American fumbling, all right, but it was done in the State Department and the White House, which put out at least four different state ments in four days. Khrush chev had set a trap by letting out only a little bit of infor mation about Powers at a time, and then waiting for American officials to stick their foot into it. Espionage experts say the worst mistake the U.S. offi cials made was ever to admit that Powers was a spy. They should have stuck to their original story that he was a weather survey pilot, acci dentally blown off his course. Persons who should know say Dulles argued in favor of that all througli the crisis. What concerns congression al critics is the possibility that the CIA dabbles in foreign policy. It is accepted as a fact in Washington the CIA was instrumental in overthrowing the regime of Premiere Mo hammed Mossadegh in Iran and put a pro-Communist gov ernment in Guatemala out of business. The thought that an American force, responsible only to the President and the National Security Council, may be operating abroad and intervening in the affairs of nations is the basis for much of the criticism.

(Copyright 1961 Genural Feature Corp.) Chester A: - She should have invited me to her son's wedding. Shirley P: - I invited those I was sure would show up. Chester A. - I'd like a Rood explanation as lo why I didn't receive an invitation lo my nephew's wedding. We re six brothers and sisters, and Shir ley invited four of the other five. Whether I'd come or nol is another matter. Shirley assumed I wouldn't bccnu.se I'm away a groat deal. But she certainly should have in cluded me on her list. I'm hurl and embarrassed. Shirley P. - Other m?mbcf of the family have regretted wailing for Chester to answer or show up. This time, it was a very small wedding. We were asked lo limit our guests to 20 couples. Since my hus band has a large family too, we invited those who were in town and would surely come. Chester is a news photogra pher and he's usually in Ma laya or Mexico when we want him in town. The Council: Chester should have been asked. The very asking becomes a symbol of family solidarity. The accep tance or attendance is another mailer. If Chester is so incom municado that he, or his rep resentative, doesn't R.S.V.P. on or before thai date which caterers underline w e 1 I, that's the end of it. His rela tives can ask someone else. Chester has been done right by. In view of his reputation for absence. Shirley might have risked inviting him as a "mu he. extra." No matter l.i tight the count, wedding enucpeneurs prepare for a few such Perhaps Shirley, being on the groom's side, didn't want to seek favors. When it s .1 niece's wedding, Chester, and you're on the bride'5 side, it s easier lo hold a "'maybe' place for you. See dungs from Shirley side and don't sulk.
