EDITORIAL COMMENT The Role Of The CIA The role of the Central Intel ligence Agency In the affairs of the people of the<United States Is becoming a major question on the domestic scene. At the present time the CIA is ^almost a scared cow in our mid st. The appropriations for the CIA are tremendous and there is often no way of checking on whether this money is wisely spent or whether it really pro duces results. What is the answer to the ques tion of the proper status of the CIA,? X First it must be realized that 1 we - Americans - are new In ? the Intelligence game. Up until : World War II we were to idea- t listlc and ethlcar(impractlcally sq) to unguige in much intelli- . gence or espionage work. We did not even have such an agency! g As for its role in our society, it is evident that some attention miist be directed toward that prnhlBm A or investigative group should be named to look into the question, being free from all political an gles, of course. Union Victory The recent announcement that one of the New York's papers would resume publication was to a degree-a victory for the union which has struck several of the city's newspapers. The others closed down, to present a united'front in the face of the strike. The New York Post, which apparently could not hold out any longer, was the paper which announced a resumption of publication.. The most important factor in the whole business, however, is that the union, in the face of pub lic condemnation from the Sea retary of Labor, and even con demnation from President John F. Kennedy, was allowed to strike for over two months, un til it had successfully intimi dated at least one victim* Meanwhile the public has suf fered, some people have been put out of business and many have been forced to take severe economic losses - people who have nothing to with either the newspapers or the unions. In other words, the union interest has been allowed to take prece dence over the public interest. Managing The News A public debate has been un - derway in recent months over the question of nfews "manage ment." Critics of the Kennedy Administration charge that news released to the public is being v managed, or colored, and that the full story is not being given the public. This charge is trGe, but it not true that this is something new ~J with the Kennedy Administra tion. It is something that has de veloped a* cWr g(f0?Wftrfent grew solargeandis also partly a re sult of conditions which arose in World war H and in the Korean Conflict. The fact is that the American public is now being given what news the State Department and the Pentagon, and the White House, decides is best for it to have - to a large degree, in the field of foreign relations. Thi^ was true in the Eisenhower years as it is today, with Pre sident JohnKennedy in the White House. The plain truth is that the State Department, the CIA and the Pentagon have grown so big and powerful, as federal mon sters, that no newspaper, no j ?ltizen, can break though the' palace guard and expose evils. u< and the guilty, in this system. It is a process which has been goingonfor many years. Only a concerted, inspired official, top^ level investigation group, could correct the situation. President Kennedy, who has expressed in terest in correcting it, could be gin by appointing such a group, with broad powers. The Ff Times ? Established 1870 ?
