# CIA's Murder, Inc.

The ruling British Labour Party has recently protested the presence of 10 agents of the Central Intelligence Agency, masquerading as attachés, in the American embassy in London. Agents by the hundreds have poured into Portugal and the Near East as a result of the increasing tensions between the governments in those areas and the shapers of U.S. foreign policy.

The cooperation between the CIA and the State Department was dramatically underscored by Richard Helms' appointment to an ambassadorship in (of all places) Iran. Helms was director of the spy agency during its "dirty" period 1966-73. Meanwhile, the U.S. ambassador to Italy was formerly envoy to Greece where he developed a "special relationship" with the colonels who were ousted last year. And Portugal got the former U.S. ambassador to Chile who helped engineer the overthrow of Allende.

Since Watergate popped the lid off the CIA, creatures have slithered forth from its depths such as normally surface only in the pages of a John Le Carre novel. Lonely, wandering travel writers, employed by the very real Fodor's Travel Guides Inc., turn out to be secret agents

summarizes mostly translating their "reviews" or code Assassination plots hatched in the biggest Washington circles bear fruit in distant Vietnam (Diem) and the Dienican Republic (Trupplo) Former naval mogul Howard Hughes stars in a CIA-sponsored, multi-million dollar production to liberate the corpses of seamen in a sunken Russian submarine from their ocean grave along with secret code books and nuclear missiles.

Government operatives were discovered to have negotiated "contracts" with Matia hit men to eliminate "totalitarian" leaders (Castro). In return the CIA performs favors such as spying on singer Phyllis McGuire for her then-boyfriend and Chicago racket chief, Sain Guecana. Leading journalists (the syndicated columnist Tom Braden, New Republic publisher Robert J. Myers, Philadelphia Bulletin editor George Packard, etc.) are linked to the CIA and Mexican presidents (Diaz Ordaz, L.6per Matos and Echeverria) are revealed as big-pocket collaborators of the U.S. spy agency.

The still-unresolved assassination of John Kennedy is also among the contents of this Pandora's box. The 8 March New York Tunes reports disputed photographic evidence that some contend places Watergate burglars E. Howard Hunt and Frank Sturgis on the grassy knoll near Kennedy's limousine at the time of the 1983 assassination. Hunt was then a clandestine CIA operative and head of the Mexican CIA station at the time Lee Harvey Oswald visited there. Sturgis is known to have worked for the agency during the Bay of Pigs invasion. The men in the photo had been placed under arrest by Dallas police.

quickly supported a "white-robert" com mission to invest in the CIA intracus into domestic affairs. Of the eight men on the panel, three have had direct associations with the CIA - Nelson Rockefeller, C. Douglas Dillon and General Lyman Lemmtrer. In addition to Dillon and Rockefeller himself, two other panel members also have direct connections with Rockefeller interests-John T. Connor, chairman of Allied Chemical Corporation (and one-time land raiser to buy back Cuban counterrevolutionaries taken prisoner in the abortive Bay of Pigs invasion), and Lane Kirkland, secretary treasurer of the AFL-CIO and member of the board of the Rockefeller foundation.

Both the Rockefeller group and the Meanyite AFL-CIO bureaucracy have long-standing and intimate connections with the CIA in the fight against Communism, especially in Latin America (e.g., Chile). The CIA responded to Meany's kindness by illegally opening his mail, suspecting him of mismanaging CIA funds.

Other members of this commission are Ronald Reagan, ex-U.S. Solicitor General and suspected Watergate perjurer, Erwin Griswold; and finally the as yet innocuous ex-University of Virginia president, Edgar F. Shannon.

In reality the President has little taste for an expose of the CIA. He and Rockefeller have both indicated a Watergate-like reluctance to cooperate with the newly-formed Senate Select Committee on Intelligence which will "independently" investigate the CIA and FMI.

Rocky, who is reportedly worried last the authority (!) of the presidency be destroyed by the Senate hearings, previously announced that he anticipated his commission would deliver the ho-hum finding that "the Central Intelligence Agency had violated its charter by undertaking activities within the United States" (New York Times, 27 January). Later he told reporters that the commission would only deal with "apparent violation(s) of the statutes relating to domestic activities." However, the Sutchel of Attica was mum when asked if executing foreign leaders qualified as a "domestic violation."
