Agents admit spying at colleges

By The Associated Press
Former A r m y intelligence
agents have admitted spying on
student political meetings ad-
dressed by liberal speakers.
The recently discharged
agents say they took notes of
what the speakers said and de-
scribed crowd reaction in reports
to Army Intelligence Command
headquarters at Ft. Holabird,
Md.
Meanwhile, alarmed by re-
ports of Army spying on civil-
ians, 20 congressmen have pro-

posed a federal privacy law giv-
ing citizens a chance to know
about - and see - the files be-
ing kept on them.
Six former agents interview-
ed by The Associated Press in
Minnesota said their superiors
were intensely interested in ci-
vilian protest activities.
Earlier disclosures by agents
in other parts of the country
have fueled a growing contro-
versy over military surveillance
of civilian activity.
The six men said half a doz-
en Army men were in the au-
dience when Sen. Walter Mon-
dale (D-Minn.> addressed a col-
lege rally in October 1969.
And last spring, they said, two
disguised Army agents mingled
with students, taking pictures of
John Kenneth Galbraith a n d
the crowd when the noted econ-
omist appeared on the Univer-
sity of Minnesota campus,
The former agents said 95 per
cent of their w o r k with the
113th Military Intelligence re-
gional headquarters in Minne-
apolis involved routine security
CORRECTION
In reporting Thursday's
meeting of the Regents, The
Daily incorrectly termed Re-
gent Gerald Dunn (D-Lan-
sing) as newly elected. Regent
Dunn has been in office for two
years. He did not attend Thurs-
day's meeting.

checks on military personnel
and defense contractors.
However, they said the 113th:
-Built card files on between
5,000 and 8,000 individuals and
groups in the Minneapolis re-
gion;
-Filled a filing cabinet draw-
er with pictures of demonstra-
tions in which individuals were
circled, numbered, named and
cited in telex reports to the in-
telligence command at Ft. Hola-
bird; and
-Gained ready access to 'he
University of Minnesota admis-
sions office to c h e c k student
character references and finan-
cial records without first obtain-
ing university authorization.
Former agent George Lewis,
24, said he protested when his
command officer ordered him to
infiltrate the moratorium day
rally address by Mondale.
Lewis said he w e n t to the
meeting but slipped away after
noticing five other Army agents
mingling in the crowd, includ-
ing Lt. Col. Donald E. Mattson,
the regional commander.
Mattson refers all questions to
the Pentagon.
"I see this as becoming a na-
tional issue," he said. "As for
spying, that's a loosely u s e d
term. We don't spy. The FBI
would arrest us if we did. Spy-
ing is illegal."
Former agent Richard Kasson
said he frequently checked stu-
dent records at the University
of Minnesota admissions office.
Most times, he said the checks

- a

-

involved security clearances and
the subject had signed a waiver
authorizing the inspection.
But he said that as the ad-
missions office personnel got to
know him, he was allowed to
see records without showing the
waiver and sometimes looked in-
to the background of students
who had taken part in demon-
strations.
Earlier disclosures of military
investigation on campus caused
uneasiness a m o n g Minnesota
students.
The Student Association :s
contacting other universities to
alert them to what has happen-
ed there.
Backers of the legislation to
be proposed in Congress say cit-
izens need some recourse in the
face of massive information be-
ing collected by the government
through various interconnecting
data banks.
"Today, t h e average citizen
has no recourse and the reputa-
tion of countless numbers of de-
cent citizens are being threat-
ened or destroyed by malicious
and false information appearing
in the millions of dossiers held
by government agencies," says
Rep. Edward I. Koch.
The New York Democrat and
a bipartisan band of colleagues
from nine states entered legis-
lation Thursday to:
--Require all federal agencies
to notify persons of any per-
sonal files being maintained on
4 them, and
-Give a person a chance to
inspect his files and add, at his
own expense, any clarifying
statements he feels are required.
Exceptions to the disclosure
would be in cases where secrecy
is required for national security
and involving records retained
on a temporary basis for law
enforcement purposes.
