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."

is that the CIA made no such

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

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.

wedding.

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. Just prove to the
family that no matter where,
