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-

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." Residents in the hills above
the city were treated to this rare view as rain
and winds removed all traces of smog from
the area. The view is looking south on Vine
Ave. with the round Capitol Records build

hotel at right. (UPI)

Selection and training of CIA
personnel needs Congressional
examination.
Evaluation of intelligence
data should not be dominated
by the CIA, which gathers the
data.
Far-Flung Community
When Congress refers to the
"intelligence ' community," it
does not mean only the CIA.

GOVERNMENT CAMP Ore.
(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.

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. During Aprl of
this year construction bids were
received, a contract was award
ed and the Meyers Jones Con
struction company of Medford
started work on Southern Ore
gon's newest bank facility.
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.
Result of Growth
Ayres said the new Central
Point office is the result of the
area's steadily growing banking
needs.
"We intend to stay ahead of
the demand for expanded bank'
ing services, and with our pres.
cnt staff and our new building
the task wont be difficult,
Avres states.
