THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1M MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON U.S. Intelligence Community Concerns Many Congressmen WASHINGTON (CO) - The Nov. 1-2 ,coup in Viet Nam which deposed the regime of President Ngo Dinh Diem after nine years' rule resulted in part at least from the U.S. Govern ment's dissatisfaction with the Diem regime and its encourage ment of reform in Viet Nam. The event focused attention on the possibility of more direct American intervention 10 ci fnct the coud. Concern inevit ably centered on the role of me Central intelligence Agency, The CIA is the fact and sym bol of a postwar development in the nation which runs con trary to U.S. traditions of open diplomacy and non-intervention the practice of espionage and subversion to farther national aims and protect national se curity. Actually, while the CIA has its spies and agents, much of its work of intelligence in volves routine gathering and analysis of statistical, political and other data. Criticism of CIA and other In telligence operations in the Government stems from revul sion against the cloak-and-dagger image, as well as annoy ance at the intense secrecy which surrounds the intelligence community. Some fear the tra dition of popular control of the Government, especially the mil itary, may be undermined by Uie growui ot para-muitary organs insulated from the public. In addition, the very term "Intelligence," while it a t tracts eager and able college graduates, implies mental fac ulties in the participants which critics say are not necessarily present. Billion-Dollar Operation Congress is particularly wary of the secrecy which covers the estimated $1 billion-a-year op erations of the CIA and other intelligent agencies in the Gov ernment. Indeed, Congress, jealous of its role as keeper of the purse strings, rankles at not even knowing how much and where the money goes for intelligence operations. Furthermore, the Congressional role of "o v e r sight" is frustrated when it comes to supervision of the far flung CIA operations, which in volve probably between 15,000 and 20,000 employees in the U.S. and abroad. Thus, every year for the last ten, proposals have been made in Congress for some form of "Joint Committee on Foreign Intelligence" to give Congres sional surveillance over the in telligence community in much the same manner as the Joint Atomic Energy Committee sur vevs the Atomic Energy Com- mission's activities and other nuclear affairs. Powerful Opposition The Idea of a Joint Commit tee on Foreign Intelligence has little chance of fulfillment in the near future, mainly because of the powerful forces of opposi tion to it. These forces are led by the President and his Ad ministration, including the CIA. But in Congress itself, the three committees which pres ently handle CIA matters or money the six-member Sen ate subcommittee made up of members of the Armed Serv ices and Appropriations Com mittee, the ten-member House Armed Services Central Intel ligence Agency Subcommittee and the House Appropriations Subcommittee on funds for in telligence activities (which it self is secret as to number and identify of members) hasten to object to any new committee poaching on their territory. Members of these subconv tees claim that they already provide the necessary Congres sional surveillance of the intel ligence community and that a joint committee for that purpose is unnecessary. Watchdog Proposals But one of the Members who favors a watchdog committee (3 Senators and 19 Represen tatives have introduced such proposals this year), Rep. John V. Lindsay, R, N.Y., sums up the arguments for it: The present Congressional committees are too small and their examination of intelli gence matters too "cursory." They do not have adequately trained staff. Intelligence activities are not an exclusively executive func tion and should be continuously surveyed by Congress. No Government activity, no matter how sensitive, should be totally secret and hidden from Congressional review. Blunders made by the CIA should be investigated. Any CIA interference with State Department objectives should be watched. "Special operations," such as fomenting unrest in a hostile country, toppling foreign gov ernments, etc., ought to be watched, and their compatibil- innr Tin nil u IM ml m mi i$$'A m Mm I" MnfAiflffliW ' III I T.H.wSIlN II! l i n I n Cornell Has Large Research Collection ITHACA, N.Y.

NEW PICTURE HERALDED Just like it used to be years ago, Hollywood is pictured . in all its night-time glory as kleig lights throw their silver beams into the sky to herald the opening of a new film, "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad World."

Selection and training of CIA personnel needs Congressional examination. Evaluation of intelligence data should not be dominated by the CIA, which gathers the data.

(UPI) Fire blamed on the ex plosion of a gas stove partially destroyed the Village Store here Wednesday evening. There was no immediate esti mate of damage from owner Barney DcCamp. The blaze left three persons homeless when it destroyed a garage, service station and a cabin, all owned by DeCamp. Thestore part of the building was damaged. Firemen man aged to put out the fire before it reached the service station's underground gasoline stor age tanks. Firemen from the U.S. Forest Service and Clackamas County battled the blaze for an hour be fore bringing it under control about 6 p.m. They said it ap- parently started from a stove I explosion in the garage. Central Point Mayor William F. Saxbury and County Commis sioner Donald E. Faber will join C. Elwood Hedberg, senior vice president and former man ager of the banks Medford branch, for the brief opening ceremony. Cutting the ribbon will be Jane Ayres, daughter of Branch Manager Francis C.

Replaces Office The new structure, which re places the branch office at 136 Pine St., features an exterior of light colored brick and glass, wilh stained wood sun screens to shade the bank's rear win dows and drive-in teller station. Sidewalks and the drive-in area are covered. More than 6,000 square feet of floor space is provided in the contemporarv banking office, designed by Medford architects Payne and Struble. Preliminary plans for the building were approved in De cember, 1962.

Ayres said the new building will offer every modern banking service and convenience. Facili' ties include a safe deposit vault, a night depository and the first drive-in window in the Central Point area.
