The pur- pose of the system is to keep the CIA out of th D u b 1 i c eve. Wert an( Vlct ver. . sa. The need for that Is under , standablc. But in its quest for anonym' ' ity the agency on occasions ; has gone to such extremes the ; effect has been to call atten ' tion to itself. - Some of these incidents have produced comic over- tones, as in the old silent ft v Firemen's Fines Are Suspended Cave Junction - Members of the Illinois Valley Volun teer Fire department who ; were accused of gambling at a h a m shoot April 7 have . been fined, but the fines were suspended, it was announced last week.

According to witnesses, the ; plain clothes officers took part In card games at the ; ham shoot, which moved In side because of inclement wea ' ther.

I am not informed as to what the guards told the lad. "There ain't nobody here but us penguins and we re invisl ble'' probably. The things that I find most Intriguing about the CIA's e curity system is the way its operating expenses are han dled. Funds for the agency are concealed somewhere in the massive federal budget, so that only a few persons know how much money it is spending. I enjoy going through the Phoenix-Talent To Have Band Program Phoenix The Phoenix-Tal ent school system has an nounced an opening date of June 24 for the summer band program. Full band and some indi vidual instruction will be given during a six-week ses sion in the Talent school band room, i The first day of the sched ule will be devoted to a gen eral meeting for all partici pants in the program. Begin ners will meet at 8:30 a. m. and all advanced players at 10 a.m. Enrollment fees may be paid at the first meet ing. . V .

For instance, there is the Abaca fiber program, According to the budget for fiscal 1064, this program is taking nothing out of the treasury and is putting $90, 000 back in. That certainly looks suspicious. In fact, it's downright unbureaucratic. My hunch is that there's really no such thing as Abaca fiber and that the money actually is going to the CIA. On page 822 of the budget, $408,000 is earmarked for payment of annuities to the widows of lighthouse keepers. That also looks fishy. Are there really that many widows of lighthouse keepers still around. Or are some of the CIA agents in disguise. A $680,000 item for the U. S. Naval academy's laun dry service likewise would be a logical place to conceal CIA appropriation. You can conceal almost anything in Navy laundry bag. Other budgetary items that caught my eye ostensibly cov crcd such activities as "brush disposal" and the prcscrva tion of ancient Nubian monu ments. Offhand, $0 million seems like an awful lot of money for the government to be spending to get rid of brushes, And, an ancient Nubian mon ument sounds to me like a perfect hangout for spies.
