alll I mil Il DONOVAN OF OSS By Corey Ford Little, Brown Here is the long and of times bitter story of how the present -Central Intelligence Agency got its start and who the godfathers were and especially the head godfather. He was, of course, William J. (Wild Bill) Donovan, and this is how he started the OSS (Office of Strategic Services) and the forerunner OCI (Office of Coordinator of Information) and which later, after the end of World War II, became the CIA. This is the man, as many must know who made many secret trips to Europe before 1940 as ftesidenLRoosevelt's special emissary; the man who bluffed El Duce into showing him the Italian army in Ethopoa; the man who saw Germany's letal 88 mm gun; his report on the Balkans arid the man who brought back the information on England's need and who helped them got the.50 U.S. destroyers.

But this man didn't come to these chores without training. He was one of the most decorated men in World War and later proved to be one of the most able lawyers on Wall Street. There has been much comment about how Gen. Donovan got the name "Wild Bill" and it has been laid at many doors but the one where it seems to stay" "with "least" commentT occurred" when he was with a National Guard unit before World War I. It is not too well known but spying or espionage or by whatever name has been a part of the military annals of all nations and the trade dates back to Washington when he-waSv III" strange.

He was one of the most colorful figures and active personalities of the 18th century. The author has made special study- of-Casanovas lifeand times. In this book he recites -Casanova's exploits with great skill, candor arid racy humor and offers the reader some new -angles from which to view this complex individual, 1 Casanova was an excellent student and he learned the noble words of Christ at about the same time he learned the sur-.

Shortly after his first dual convenience with two sisters, one tender and the other only two years older he wrote, the author, notes: "In opening their bodies to him the two 'iris also opened his eyes, and his mind, to a vista of permanent ecstacy. Concealed between their thighs he found his life's avocation. He pursued it with a It would be unfair to continue to make the point that Casanova did nothing else. He "was active as noted earlier in manyjvalks of life, especially as a traveller He was one of the jnost active sightseers in Europe of that day.

Within minutes a number of passengers on the plane moved away from her -started reading magazines (one or two of them upside down) or at least turned their faces to the opposite side of the plane. Part of this reaction could certainly have been due to her "fragrance" which was not unlike a piece of ripe Roquefort cheese marinated in bad bourbon.

The main reason, however, was that the people felt they had enough problems of their own, They simply did not have the emotional inclination to want to give any aid or assistance.

What are we doing to change the mood or direction of the country (which is really nothing more than a collection of our individual moods and directions'). The answer is really 'bo simple that often times it is easily missed! When we don't like how things are going in everyday life we change them by doing two simple things. (1) -Planning new attack a new approach new attitude and (2) carrying out that plan in the most effective and, direct manner.

In short we take action! Okay the past yeer has not been a good one no matter what the reasons. It it gone -and baby, we can't bring it back even if we wanted to! Now to if Esther, the oldest and beauty of the family, married into a good family. She soon found her husband to be more fatherly than husbandly. At an Easter picnic, she met a handsome young man from California, Augie Wenger, and they were immediately attracted to each other. For two years they met secretly before they were discovered.

Esther's husband divorced her, and she was persona non grata as far as the blue-blooded society of New York was concerned, for this was the time when divorce was unheard of. She also lost her son. She was comforted by her father who assured her that in time she would be accepted again. And so the first tragedy struck the Cameron family. The second realization of reality came with the death of Mr.

Cameron. Since their, mother had died when Nell, the youngest, was only three, Mr. Cameron had been their guiding light. He died from flu in the great epidemic that struck New York around the time of World War I. Then came World War I and the loss of many friends.

Except for Esther, the girls were fairly happy as adults. Julia married a diplomat and became a resounding success as an international hostess. Maud was quite content in her married life living in France, and Nell was very happy with her marriage to Bertie, a childhood friend. tale began when an obituary for Augie Wenger is found In the paper and was told through Nell looking J)ack to the early years and events that shaped the present.

This past year has been a confusing and difficult one to say the least! It came in with great expectations riding the crest of the economic boom of 1968. True, we had lost a popular President and several very key national figures by that most "un-American" way of meeting death the assassination. Still, there was the hope that we would finally after all of these years get out of Vietnam. There was the promise that good business would continue. There was the "indication" that we were finally starting to live w'th each other and understand et other better than ever, Sometime sonehow in the early months of 1969 a very cool and uncomfortable realization came to the American people.

It was as if the clouds and mist we had been traveling through (probably smog) lifted all at once and we realized we were not on the "superhighway to prosperity" but on a very twisting and dangerous side road leading nowhere! The war was not ending. Civil unrest was greater than ever before. Our legal systems courts and the very foundations of our democratic society were being shaken and questioned. We became aware of pollution in our as well as In our mental attitudes. The sight, the mood, was not a pretty one! Just over a week "ago on a flight from Nashville to Dallas, Texas, I became aware that, the woman sitting next to me "had problems." Even though the hour was early she had had more than her share to drink.

Great tears were rolling down her cheeks and jite kept re.i peating "It's just no good no good no No one had to think about that better, more prosperous, and fulfilling future we are all looking for. The planning stage is the easier of the two mentioned above. Not too many years ago a fellow by the name of Howard Hill -was recognized, as world's greatest hunter with a bow and arrow. Hill was a thin, wiry, and weather-beaten looking man who at least on the outside -did not seem to have any great qualifications or abilities. He had two things going for him, however, his planning and his great dedication and skill.

The following quote summed up his philosophy "Unless you know your game's feeding, sleeping, and daily habits unless you plan your hunt in great detail and follow your plans with exact precision you are not hunting at all. You are merely walking id the woods!" It's time we "got out of the and headed for the sunlight.

The definition is "to advance in rushes, to use impetuosity, to dash into things with more fervor than Actually Elan is the type of feeling that an Ellin Berlin, Author.
