European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - December 13, 1985, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Page 10 columns Tom Wicker the stars and stripes Friday december 13, 1985 recent spy cases prove Fife press in t the threat what s loin on Here uni on does the government seem to be in of cried with spies but they Aren t even the kind of subversives Good americans have been taught to fear and loathe four mostly Ordinary persons vere arrested within five Days last month and charged with spying. These Chilly spy cases and other recent espionage scandals must have Given a rude Shock to those who have bought the idea that it s the press and undetected communists who give away . Secrets. These cases had nothing to do with the press or anyone leaking sensitive information to sensation hungry reporters nor. V far As now appears were any of the spies ideological communists burrowing away within a go com Nunt so riddled with leftist intellectuals and trilateral internationalist that no secrets were Safe anyway. Instead while the motives of those charged were no doubt different in each Case and Complex in All they appear to have been Well paid and to have Given Good value for their Money. No one can take satisfaction from these cases if the charges arc proven they would represent too much damage to . Interests. But a few comments May be in order from one who lived through the Joseph Mccarthy a. Edgar Hoover hysteria about communists in government and the Long history of suspicion and mistrust to which it gave atm someone who was himself a participant in the Pentagon papers affair and who has suffered quite enough cheap talk about a treasonous press that is not on our  first and most obvious the press is not the prime threat to . Secrets. To legitimate secrets like those the pollards arc charged with delivering to Israel it is scarcely a threat at All except possibly by some accidental disclosure. In the entire history of the . Press including world War ii. When one or two serious Security breaches occurred no newspaper Ever has damaged american interests to the extent that Larry we Tai Chin is charged with having done Over More than 20 years As a chinese mole inside the Cia. Second and almost As obvious the . Cannot protect its vital secrets by More and More classification of documents with the consequent need for More classifiers and More people to be cleared to read the classified material. Aside from the Absurdity of having tens of thousands of officials of All ranks authorized to put a classification i on everything irom newspaper clip to routine memos the certain result a tin degradation of the very idea of secrecy where everything is secret As Justice it tar Stewart once observed nothing can Bei Ruly secret. The necessity for Clearing so Many peo ple also overwhelms the Security age Nife charged with the task. Too Many gown men workers arc not adequately checked before clearance and too few arc up checked frequently enough or serious a enough after the original clearance. Being a Liberal or a leftist or eve Tutti marxist Leninist is in itself no mow Security Threal to the United states to Luff being a Republican a rotator of i churchgoer. The average Man who hold a key government position or Ufa otherwise has Access to secrets and a himself in dire need of Money or f-l1-3 blackmail or in fear for relatives i is a i rect for recruitment by Powers indeed such a spy might bet More easily Han in a class taught f marxist professor of economics to who Hunt groups like accuracy in academic arc not so much proc cling our Security challenging our Freedom. And All those government Secich to flaps usually resulting on Yin More lie Detector tests for More people to essentially measures to Stop leaks or to catch leaders neither of which is the real Security problem. Nor will More limits on the Freedom of information acl or a new official secrets Aci gel Al the necessary target. There too would be efforts to restrict the Pumfre release of information most of which inevitably would not be legitimately Ecret but Only inconvenient or Embarrass ing to the government. The direct passage of real Security secrets to foreign governments by professionals or by coerced victims is the prob Lem. The espionage act provides All the proc tutorial Power the government needs what s lacking is an effective Coutt tar espionage program not just to lock tit. Barn after the horse has been stolen but to deter the potential thief. New York Timet new service Anthony Lewis new globalism in f America s answer in Ano a w globalism it could be called. It k the How docs Kymn of a �.,k a ,., no Vav , t. T inmost important conceptual movement in american for eign policy in years. It comes from the source of so much of the Reagan administration s thinking the ideological right the concept is his the United slates should inter Vene in wars in third world countries whenever there is a Chance to fight soviet or marxist influence. It should do so All around the world without regard to particular local conditions. Constraints on american Power too must yield to the ideological imperative. The doctrine can be seen in its purest form in the current Effort to involve the United Stales in the civil War in Angola. . Intervention would have no Chance of resolving the War. It would do enormous damage to american interests. Yet a chorus of voices on the right intellectual and political is urging us into Angola. Rep. Jack Kemp of new York a right Wing favorite for Percsi Donl in i98h, has made himself the Prin Cipal spokesman of the Campaign to intervene in an Gola. A Bill he sponsors would give s27 million in humanitarian Aid to Jonas Sav Imbi s Unita guerrillas for their fight against the marxist government of an Gola and the 30.000 cuban troops which support it. South Africa has Kepi the Sav Imbi forces alive Lor the last 10 Yean supplying them and repeatedly Send ing its own military into Angola. So the obvious objection to american Aid is that it would connect the United states to the while South african regime hated by the majority of its own people and most other africans. How docs Kemp Deal with that problem head dressed it the older Day in an article in the new York times and his answer told us a Good Deal about the intellectual foundation of the new globalism. If the United Stales gave financial Sunnen of Unita need no it by South a Rich in a words inc  would entirely replace South Africa the supplier and supporter of the Sav Imbi forces can Kemp or anyone believe thai $27 million i humanitarian Aid would replace All that Smith a has done of course not. � us of Caha supp s  weapons sent planes to bomb the s � a � n does Kemp envision an american role of that kind if not what docs he mean when he says that Unita would not have to rely on South Africa Unia geography is anti her Little problem the swim forces Are based in the Southern part of Angola the Only Rah slip Way to Supply them is from some Africa does Kemp see the United sales acting As a Sunn from South african territory does he think Theu Garden As a partner of the White regime any idea Bow africans would feel about they would feel about the United states Gewe Apons to the angolan government there a Large numbers.
