AINDEAMLR-HERALD, WEDNESDAY, MAY 8,1965 inioiWPolitics In defense of the GrWt Lakes WASHINGTON-While Congress was was tin time on such minor issues as the budget am military aid to the Nicaraguan Contras, some of us sunshine patriots were saluting James Boren, president of the International Association of Professional Bureaucrats. Boren is the designer of a new $6.98 trillion tank that he describes as "amphibious, flying," it being neither. "But it is trimmed in platinum and it possesses a coffee pot, a toilet seat, several wrenches and sets of pliers" along with "other items needed by the Pentagon's freedom fighters," he boasts in a news release. • "Designed primarily to defend the Great Lakes from invasion by Fidel Castro," the tank "also "can be sent into space as part of President Reagan's Star Wars planetcide program," Boren assures us. It likewise "can be used to inspire a sense of pride in our country, to demonstrate the true state of our battleworthy weaponry and to show what is happening to the taxpayers' dollars," he avers, le I've no doubt the latter functions can to attrfck the Qreat Lakes with missiles armed with sugar cane warheads. However, the possibility that some foreign country might try something funny has been enhanced by import quotas the U.S. government imposed on certain food last month. That step was taken to prevent foreign manufacturers from exporting foodstuffs loaded with sugaf and then removing and selling the sweet stuff inside our borders. , Sugar prices in America are about seven times higher than the world market. So there is plenty of incentive for such skullduggei-y. The Fourth Estate flunks its first major "fire drill" provide a useful psychological uplift, it is the former that makes the tank so valuable. It long has been apparent that Castro has designs on the Great Lakes, but Boren's is the first weapon system specifically designed to defend that area against Cuban invasion. One wonders why Congress spends so much time on the Central American controversies when the threat is so much closer. Boren did not mention whether his tank is equipped with sugar detectors. So there is no indication of how it might respond if Castro were Israel, Korean noodlfes and chocolate-covered ants. So what if Korean noodle recipes don't call for sugar? There is a trace in the stock in which Korean noodle soup is cooked and that's enough for U.S. customs agents. By the same token, it may now be argued that not all mousses are desserts. The word in French means "froth" or "foam" and there have been recently offered for sale some mousse hair preparations. Cuba, as we know, is capable for growing huge crops of sugar cane. Ergo, the temptation for Castro to build sugar-tipped missiles might well "become overwhelming. Nearly $7 billion will be a small price to pay for a tank if Boren can give it a sucrose-seeking capability. Diek West (UPI columnist) THIS IS VE-DAY lews , 4" MTHVEJkR HO 111 ( J- - I rCNVft* COLO.

We thought It a fitting tribute to the 40th anniversary of VE Day. Here s what other papers have to say President Reagan has wisely freed to scale down the scope any face-to-face association with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. The White House now is projecting such an event as simply a "meeting," as op­ posed to a "summit. That's to the good. . Ever since Gorbachev's authority a as first among equals in the Soviet inner circle was publicly confirmed, ad­ ministration sources en­ couraged media accounts of the president's enthusiasm for a full-blown summit. Too casually were the realistic dangers of such an affair skipped-the jerated expectations, the ; of advance problem-solving .and agreeements simply Svaiting for public ratification. Now the president's national security adviser, Robert C. McFarlane, has made it per­ fectly clear; what Reagan desires is a social, get- acquainted meeting without substantive agenda. Those are always to be welcomed. WASHINGTON - Comedian Mark Russell made a joke of it. He said that with the invasion of Grenada, U.S. armed forces defeated a small but ex­ ceedingly ^iostile and stubborn enemy-the American press. To some of us who have spent our lives in newspaperingv the Pentagon's decision to bar press coverage of that invasion was no laughing matter. With few exceptions, professional jour­ nalists feel strongly that reporters must be permitted to cover "military operations. Otherwise, the people get only the government's self-serving communiques. We raised such a howl about being excluded from Grenada that the Pentagon relented. In the future, Defense Secretary Weinberger announced last year, a small pool of correspondents would be created. Under pledges of strict secrecy, reporters would be advised when and where to report for transportation. I was among those who assured Weinberger, from the bottom of my heart, that "of course the press can be trusted to keep such a summons secret." Well, let us eat crow. At about 6 o'clock on Sunday evening, April 20, Col. Robert O'Brien set in motion a test of the pool plan. O'Brien is deputy assistant for public affairs. A duty officer telephoned a pre-arranged contact at three newspapers, Newsweek magazine, the Associated Press, Mutual Radio and Cable News TV Network. ;edpers to Andi rews 4 a.m. Sun- Counting two TV technicians and a wire service photographer, the .pool was to consist of 10 desij They were to repoi Air Force Base at day. The correspondents ^rere informed only that they would be going to a hot and rainy place. Tray arrived at Andrews on the dot. They received shots against tropical diseases; they ate a quick breakfast with the 101st Airborne; and off they went-not to an actual invasion, but to a military exercise in Honduras. Michael Burch, assistaht to O'Brien, says the correspondents themselves were "just super." They never leaked a thing. But the humiliating and embarassing fact is that in this first test of the pool plan, the {>ress flunked. Somebody eaked. Apparently the man in charge at Mutual Radio, thinking he was doing what was expected of him, blabbed to the bureau chiefs of eight other radio networks. By 1:30 a.m. Sunday, three hours before the troops were to take off from Andrews, the word was all over town. News directors at CBS and NBC got wind of a possible big stoiy. Burch was up all night fielding indignant calls from news organizations wanting to know what was going on. In the wake of this fiasco, according to The Washington Post, "media executives said that many pool details had not been worked out with the Pentagon; they saw the test as -' somewhat premature. Horsefeathers! The basic • arrangements for a press pool were worked out months ago. Every major news executive in - the country was aware that the . Pentagon would test the plan. % U.S. Marines and Rangers ' invaded Grenada on the mor- • ning of Oct. 25, 1983. Under the command of Vice Adm. Joseph •>. Metcalf, our forces were able to make the most of the element of ' surprise. Metcalf deliberately - kept the press in the dark. * Last weekend's abortive test surely will give comfort to .' military officers; their natural • hostility to civilian busybodies has now been fortified. It will be exceedingly difficult for * responsible elements in the press to respond to the cry of: "We said you couldn't be trusted." We must try to respond. The " principle of military coverage > by a free press is too valuable to be lost in this lamentable ex-' perience. O'Brien and Burch are - more forgiving than we have ' any right to expect them to be.' "We want to try again," Burch'- tells me. "We're not going to" give up." Fine! But, if we fail as badly ' the next time we are put to the 1 test, in the real event, the Pentagon understandably will' tell us to go fly a kite. And the ^ press will have it coming.
