Opinion

From Spies to KingmakersThe CIA:jjjjjjj (This is the second in a 3-part scries on the CIA by jjjjjjj Robert A ntonio, T im othy MacCarry, and Bob jjjjjjj Vadnal.)jjjjjjj The Central Intelligence Agency has a

relatively short but varied history o f involvement in jjjjjjj the rise and fall o f nations, parties, and politicians, raj: well beyond the expected functions related to jjjjjj espionage. One early episode involved those remnants

o f Chiang Kai-shek’s forces which fled from China to jjjjjjj the jungles o f northw est Burma. The CIA judged jjjjjjj them to constitute a valuable thorn in the side o f the jjjjjjj: Com m unist Chinese state, and beginning in the early jjjjjjj fifties, supplied them with gold and arms so that jjjjjjj border raids could be carried out against the new jjijjj: governm ent. Their raids were ineffective; the exile ijijij: army tired o f the struggle and settled down to jjjjjjjj establish extensive opium plantations. The Agency ijjjjjjj continued its support, still hoping to provoke the jjjjjjjj Chinese into attacking Burma. This would give the US :jjjjj:j a much-desired excuse to aid its small ally- jjjjjjjj But word o f the project leaked out and the jjjjjjjj Burmese government refused US aid, and threatened jjjjjjj: to sever relations with its “ ally” and the United jjjjjjjj N ations as well. Although the New York Times (25 i# : April, 1966) claims the CIA involvement ended then, jjjjjjj Normal Cousins ( Saturday Review, 4 March, 1967) jjjjjjj:met a medical relief pilot in Laos who “had just jjjjjjj: turned down an offer o f $3000 a m onth from the jjjjjjj CIA” to help continue the air drops in Burma, jjjjjjj The Agency’s secret air force m erits further jjjjjjj a tten tion for its support o f rightist forces in the jjjjjjj Congo, in Indonesia, and o f course, in the 1961 Bay jjjjjjj o f Pigs invasion in which four American pilots were :j$j:*o st- Cuban pilots flew most o f the missions, however, jjjjjjj They had been trained at an isolated site in jjjjjjjGuatemala by the CIA. One o f their CIA instructors jjjjjjj la ter turned up as an associate and co-conspirator

with Lee Harvey Oswald—if New Orleans District A ttorney Jim Garrison is to be believed (Ramparts Jan. 1968).

N either should we forget tha t the U-2 flights over Soviet territory were a CIA project; or that their exposure wrecked the I960 Summit Conference and made Russian electronic fishing trawlers look like g o o d w ill m is s io n s . F inally , the Guatemalan government which supplied the land for the staging of the Bay o f Pigs invasion was—and is—one o f the most oppressive regimes in the Americas; the same government was none o ther than that which the CIA had established through instigating and supplying an invasion and coup by disgruntled elem ents o f the military.

At times, however, com m itm ents made by the “ invisible governm ent” in setting up new regimes have not been as rewarding. The New York Times (25 April, 1966) reports: “ It was the CIA that built up Ngo Dinh Diem as the pro-American head o f South V ietnam ...and it was the CIA that helped persuade the Eisenhower and Kennedy adm inistrations to ride out the Vietnamese storm with D iem -probably too long.” One aspect o f the CIA’s plan to help defend Democracy, American style in Vietnam involved a Michigan State University program for training police and other public officials o f the Diem regime. From 1955 to 1959, at least five o f the visiting scholars w ere a c t u a l l y on “ c o u n t e r e s p i o n a g e and counterintelligence” missions for the C IA -apparently with the knowledge and at least acquiescence o f University officials. The American people had been doubly duped by (1) having a supposedly academic mission, free o f political ta in t, serve as a cover for what must have been accepted as more serious bu sin ess , and (2), more generally, by being unwittingly com m itted to an involvement which they

would later regret(Afcw York Times, 17 April, 1966). jjjjjj;

Senator Eugene McCarthy dem anded in 1966 that jjjjjjj the CIA be watched and controlled more closely, jjjjjjj: charging that it was “ making foreign policy and in so jjjjjjjj d o i n g , assuming the roles o f President and jjjjjjjj Congress” (A W York Times, 25 April, 1966). But jjjjjjjj little has been done to check the CIA’s undercover jjjjjjj: crusade for the American Way. On August 17, 1968, jjjjjjj; the form er Bolivian Interior Minister, Antonio jjjjjjjj Arguadas, revealed that he had been forced to serve jjjjjjjj the CIA for three years. In 1965 he had been asked to jjjjjjjj resign from the government by a U.S. embassy jjjjjjj: official, who threatened to have all U.S. aid to Bolivia jjjjjjjj cut off. He was taken to Lima, Peru, for interrogation jjjjjjjj by the CIA, after which he was reinstated and soon jjjjjjjj prom oted from the post o f an assistant to Interior jjjjjjjj Minister. Later he was told that he “ had the com plete jjjjjjj: support o f the CIA, ...which said it was very pleased jjjjjjjj with his w ork.” The CIA also paid well, with such jjjjjjjj bonuses as a gift o f $6500 on an expense-paid visit to :j:j:j:j Washington in July 1966. Finally the “ blackmail, jjjjjjjj vileness, and outrages” led him to send a copy o f Che jjjjjjjj Guevara’s captured diary to Castro and flee the jjjjjjj: country, only to return to tell his countrym en the jjjjjjjj whole story. On the day o f his arrival in Bolivia he j:j:j:j was jailed with these om inous words by President jjjjjjjj Barrientos: “ As far as 1 am concerned, Arguedas is jjjjjjj dead.” The CIA had no com m ent, but presumably jjjjjjj continued “ com plete support” (New York Times, jjjjjjj 18 Aug. 1968). jjjjjjjj

Its function has been to advance American jjjjjjj economic and power interests in Asia, Africa, Europe jjjjjjj and Latin America by any means which work. But jjjjjjj “ dem ocracy” and “ freedom ” can hardly be served by jjjjjjj denying those values abroad, even if the subversion is jjjjjjj not exposed. jjjjjjj

Chris WolfeFor Love of

McGrath ReceHonorary Degree

There is a group o f students who are being discriminated against at Notre Dame in a very definite way. This oppression is directed at a m inority which was lured to the University by misleading images fostered by various groups for a variety o f reasons. As a m atter o f fact, the images not only are inaccurate; they are in direct contrast to w hat part o f the tru th about N otre Dame really is.

The best example o f the blatantly unfair and prejudicial practices o f which I speak is the outm oded theology requirem ent for all Notre Dame undergraduate students. The requirem ent is odious on the grounds that it often compels students to take courses which impose upon the individual’s freedom o f conscience, recognizing as we m odern men do that freedom o f conscience o f all those orthodox Catholics who are com pelled to take courses labelled as “Catholic theology,” when in fact they are distinctly productive o f heretical teachings.

It is a serious problem when Catholics come here and are led to classes which teach such things as 1) the erroneous nature o f belief in the authority o f the Church, and in particular, the Pope, or 2) the belief in transignification rather than transubstantiation, or 3) the belief that Christ’s resurrection was not bodily, but only a way o f saying that He “ lived on in the apostles’ hearts” , or 4) the belief that Christ’s divinity is not literal but symbolic.

S h o u l d C a t h o l i c s be fo rc e d to learn non-Catholic or openly heretical things9

There are several answers to this whole problem . First, you could reform the theology departm ent and retain the requirem ent. The problem with this is that the University has no right to force theology teachers to teach the Catholic faith. That is an open breach o f academic freedom .

Second, you could let the theology departm ent remain the way it is, w ith both good and bad,

while notifying people interested in N.D. o f the true “ variety” o f what is being taught. The only problem here is tha t about half o f this University’s finances come from alumni donations; and the alumni, not to say parents, might be a bit annoyed if they found out certain things.

It would seem offhand that there are no other choices, but this discounts the ingeniousness o f Notre Dame people. The way out o f the dilemna is simple: you let theology stay the same, and merely m isrepresent the situation to everyone who would not like it that way. Actually misrepresent is too harsh a word, because you don’t actually do that. You just let people remain firm in their misconceptions and make no attem pt to correct those misconceptions. That way you can have your cake and eat it too . We haye the best o f both worlds: an appearance o f being the epitom e o f a great Catholic institution, an idea that pleases the alumni and brings in m oney, and the actuality o f not being bothered by all the problems that comes from being Catholic, a “ freedom ” that many students and teachers enjoy.

In preparation though, for the big day when people start finding out the tru th , you sort o f edge away from certain form er practices. For instance, you NEVER say the word “Catholic” . That as one Theology major told me is a “ derogatory term ” . (No kidding, folks; th a t’s a direct quote.) Instead you use the w ord “ Christian” which has the happy property o f being all things to all men; in fact, it’s anything to any man.

Thus, a leading University official, when asked if Notre Dame is a Catholic University or a Christian University, neatly sidesteps the issue by saying that “ if you ’re Catholic, o f course we’d hope tha t you’re Christian, so why worry about semantics9” I t’s a good answer-aside from the fact that some people would like to have known “ is a Christian necessarily a Catholic though9” , because that is no t ju st a question o f semantics.

But then, if you say what you believe, you might end up losing a lot o f donations, right9!

Rt. Rev. Monsignor John J. McGrath, president o f Saint Mary’s College, was awarded an honorary doctor o f laws degree last Saturday from Seton Hill College, Greensburg, Pa., during ceremonies celebrating the 50th anniversary o f Seton Hill’s founding.

F a t h e r M c G r a t h w a s presented the honorary degree from Seton Hill president Rt. Rev. Monsignor William G. Ryan for Father M cGrath’s work in the area o f com parative law.

The St. Mary’s president is a former professor o f comparative law and adm inistrator o f the Law S c h o o l a t C a th o l ic University, Washington, D C. He is considered an expert on the relationship o f civil and canon law.

P rin c ip a l speaker at the anniversary ceremonies was Dr. George N. Shuster, Assistant to the president o f the University o f Notre Dame.

Dr. Shuster also received an honorary degree from Seton Hill, a Catholic w om en’s college, some 10 years ago.

Until Father McGrath became president o f St. Mary’s January 1, F a t h e r Ryan had the distinction o f being the only male president o f a Catholic women’s college in the country.

F a t h e r M c G r a t h w a s inaugurated Sept. 29 as the first priest-prcsident in the 124-year history o f St. Mary’s College.

Father McGrath is the author o f an authoritative study on the subject, “Catholic Institutions in th e U n i t e d S ta te s : TheirCanonical and Civil Law Status.”

A native o f P ittsburgh, Pa., Father McGrath did not enter the priesthood' until after he earned a law degree from D u q u e sn e Un i ve r s i t y , and established a private law practice in Pittsburgh.

He is the first Catholic priest ever to be adm itted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court.

I m p a t i e n c e p e r c e i v e d that s o m e t h i n g was r o t t e n in e d u c a t i o n . Whe n she was accepted at SMC, Impatience was relieved - she had not applied to any other school. She kissed her hom etown honey, Stability, goodby and embarked for South Bend.

Her freshman year was like one long excederin headache. Impatience really thought she was in her clement at St. Mary’s w h e r e s t u d e n t power was blossoming. But somehow the overall conservative viewpoint held sway. Impatience threw herself into her studies and did not make the Dean’s List. She w a n t e d desperately to quit school and join the Peace Corps.

I m p a t i e n c e and Stability wrote on and o ff for two years. Eventually they broke up. He married a girl named Placid.

Junior year, Impatience ran for Academic Commissioner - and lost. A lot of kids thought her ideas were too wild. Some faculty members feared she was a radical. Besides, academically she was just above average. She fumed. That year she dated two N o t re Dame seniors, Never S a t i s f i e d a n d S t e a d y F o r c e f u l ne s s .

Editor:“ America, America, God shed

his grace on thee. And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea.” Thus sang e v e r y o n e at the beginning ceremonies o f the Georgia Tech game. After that they joined in the National Anthem , these citizens o f “ the land o f the free and the home o f the brave” . The only thing disturbing this scene was what occurred previous to the singing. A group o f black

students paraded around the field bearing signs with various q u e s t i o n s d irected to the coaching staff. This angered a great many students from The Great Catholic University to the point that said students began booing, shaking their fists, and perform ing assorted derogatory ac tiv itie s toward the black students.

It was at this point that the contradiction between w hat we say(or sing) and what we do became visible. It seems at the very least ironic that we whites can in one breath boo, jeer, and hiss our black brothers and with the next breath sing about brotherhood in this country. My own reaction was to not say or ye l l a n y t h i n g dur i ng the dem onstration, and to not sing

either America or the National Anthem . Instead I stood silently with bowed head and then proceeded to join in cheering and singing the “ Victory March” at the appropriate times. I only wish I had had the courage of conviction to follow my first impulse and leave after the National A nthem was sung.

Perhaps we should amend the chorus o f America to read “ America, America, what has become o f thee9 For with each tide comes fratricide from sea to shining sea.” I am beginning to feel that this (fratricide) is the ultim ate end-product o f our society.

SS sports staff. Martin Kuharich (left) won the Ex-Irish Pro tie breaker contest Sunday night by identifying former ND and now Philadelphia Eagles’ assistant

S*: coach Dick Stanfel. It wasn’t too tough for Martin because he’s a personal friend M. of Stanfel and had dinner with him just two weeks ago. Joe Kuharich (right), SS former ND and now Eagles’ head mentor, is Martin’s uncle and Stanfel’s boss.

More than 90% of those who attended the tie breaker session identified the SS picture of Stanfel as Joe Kuharich.

Frosh Battle Tennessee Vols Saturday

DelugeN E W Y O R K ( U P I )

Protesting telephone calls and t e l e g r a ms poured into the National Broadcasting Co. NBC headquarters Monday because it cut o ff the clinching m inutes o f an American Football League game to telecast a dram atization o f “ Heidi.”

A spokesman for the network said approxim ately 10,000 calls were received Sunday night from viewers angered by the switch from the Oakland Raiders-New Y ork Jets game to the Swiss Alps w ith 65 seconds o f playing time yet to go. In that time Oakland scored two touchdowns to win by a score o f 43-32.

G ladieux Co-leaderIn State

INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) - Bob Gladieux o f Notre Dame and Mike Wood of Anderson are tied for 1968 Indiana college football scoring honors bu t the title apparently w on’t be decided until next week when the Irish invade Southern California.

Gladieux scored twice against Georgia Tech last Saturday, giving him 13 touchdowns and 78 points for the season to tie Wood for first place. Wood, undisputed leader last week, scored only once against Taylor in his last game o f the season.

Keith Gerbers o f Franklin held down third spot w ith 75 points on 10 touchdowns and 15 extra points and it’ll take quite an explosion for defending state scoring cham p Leroy Keyes o f Purdue to regain top honors.

Keyes, the major college scoring champion last year with 114 points but not at full strength due to injuries the last few weeks, failed to score in the B o i l e r m a k e r s ’ 9-0 win at Michigan State, leaving him tied for fourth place with Indiana S tate’s Bob Brumfield and Ron Furniss o f Earlham. Each has 66 points.

O f the three, only Furniss added to his to tal last weekend, scoring twice against Indiana Central.

Scott Hempel, Notre Dame’s stellar place kicker, was seventh w ith 57 points, including five field goals. Eighth was Jim N olton o f Taylor w ith 54 points and Mike Woodard o f Evansville, who did not play in his season finale against Murray S tate, and Steve Schmid o f Indiana State were tied for ninth place with 52 points apiece.

Bowl LineupThe lineup for the four major

post-season bowl games was nearly finalized with a series o f a n n o u n c e m e n t s y e s t e r d a y . Here’s how it looks:

Rose: Southern Cal vs. Ohio State or Michigan.

Sugar: Georgia vs. Arkansas or Texas.

C o t t o n : T e n n e sse e vs.Arkansas or Texas.

Orange: Kansas vs. PennState.

NBCThe NBC spokesman said

highlights of the game and the final touchdowns were shown on a newcast later in the evening for the millions o f listeners as far west as Denver who didn’t see them. That, however, did not stop the flood o f telephoned p r o t e s t s w h i c h c on t i n u e d throughout the night “ so that o u r s w i t c h b o a r d s wer e com pletely tied up at tim es,” he said.

N B C P r e s i d e n t J u l i a n Goodman said he “missed seeing the game as much as anyone.”

“ It was a forgiveable error com m itted by humans who were concerned about the children who were expecting to see ‘Heidi’ at 7 p .m .,” he said.

O ther NBC sources said the game was expected to be over by 7 p.m . and it' was simply a m atter o f “ an engineer following the schedule.” “ Heidi,” from a 98-year-old novel by Johanna Spyri, was a two-hour color production that cost its sponsor $850,000 to produce.

By M IK E PA Y LINAfter a home-and-home series

against Michigan State, the N otre Dame freshmen take on the Volunteers o f Tennessee Saturday at 1:00 PM in Notre Dame Stadium .

C o a c h Wal l y M o o re ’s charges dominated each contest

with the Spartans, but came out 1—0 - 1 . Last Friday night, the teams battled to a 1 4 -1 4 tie, following a crushing Irish victory 33—13 on Nov. 1. Coach Moore takes a career coaching record of 4 —0—1 into Saturday’s game.

Notre Dame’s offense has been powered by a trio of

h a r d —r u n n i n g backs : BobMinnix, Andy Juff, and John C i e s z k o ws k i . Ag a i n s t the Spartans, Minnix picked up 74 y a r d s in 22 carries while catching an 8—yard touchdown pass. H uff ran 2 1 -7 5 and Cieszkowski 1 3 -4 2 . Jim Yoder has keyed a relatively weak

passing attack, com pleting 5 o f 17 attem pts for 46 yards Friday.

A big offensive assist for the Irish, as the old saying goes, has come from a rugged defense, which blanketed MSU in both games. Spartan quarterback Dan Werner was unable to m ount any sort o f a throwing attack while h i s b a c k f i e l d , w i t h one exception, was Eric Allan— has rolled up a two--game total o f 271 yards in 71 carries, but Allen looks like he could gain yardage against a glacier.

The Irish could get a trem endous boost from halfback T o m G a t e w o o d . T h e m u ch -h e ra ld ed 6 ’ 2“ , 210pounder from Baltimore has been sidelined with a broken hand, suffered a few days before the first MSU match. This week, however, the cast has been r e m o v e d and Gatewood is expected to return to action this Saturday.

Tennessee’s freshmen have split four games so far this season— dropping decisions to Vanderbuilt and Alabama, while c o n q u e r i n g K e n t u c k y and Georgia Tech. The later victory w a s a 2 2 - 8 t h u m p i n g adm inistered last Friday night.

Volunteer signal—caller Phil Pierce has com pleted 50% o f his passes (38—78) for 583 yards and three touchdowns. Leading UT receivers are Gary Theiler ( 1 5 - 1 8 8 - 0 ) , Sonny Leach ( 1 4 - 2 1 4 - 0 ) , and Stan Tratt (1 0 -2 0 5 - 3 ) . When Pierce has trouble moving through the air, he usually calls on fullback Curt Watson. Watson has responded for 344 yards on only 57 carries, a solid 6.0 yards per carry. R o g e r M c K i n n e y h a s contributed 143 yards in 46 carries.

Proceeds from the game will support Notre Dame club sports. A dvance-sale tickets for $1.00 c a n b e p u r c h a s e d f r o m on—campus representatives.

With the opening o f Notre Dame’s initial varsity hockey season just a few days away, injuries have hit Coach Lefty Smith squad. Latest casualty is defenseman Jim Blainey (above) who dislocated his shoulder while practicing over last weekend. He is out four to six weeks. Earlier this month, winger Steve Ferguson broke his collarbone and goalie Tim Berry still is sidelined with a broken leg he suffered last summer.
