Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/03/23: CIA-RDP91-00587R000100410015-2 UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL 27 October 1986 T By WENDY BENJAMINSON FILE ONLY WASHINGTON The CIA is recruiting big-city police officers to fight overseas terrorism and serve as temporary intelligence officers, an agency spokeswoman said Monday, but at least two police departments refused to cooperate. CIA spokeswoman Sharon Foster said the agency has hired police officers in the past and the drive is similar to ''the sort of program we had going for engineers and people we had a great need for in the agency.'' Police officers have investigative skills required by the CIA, Foster said. Although they are not being recruited specifically to counter terrorism, 'there has never been terrorism on as great a scale as it is now,'' she said. It was unclear how many officers the CIA needs, or from what cities they were being recruited, but The New York Times reported Monday the agency contacted the police departments of New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Houston, Boston and San Francisco. The Times reported New York's police department has agreed to provide officers who retire, resign or take leaves of absence. ''They were told that the jobs were contracts for three years and that they would probably not be retained as permanent CIA employees,'' said Inspector Robert Burke, a New York police spokesman. New York Police Commissioner Benjamin Ward told th Ti e mes in an interview that CIA Director William Casey ur ed him g and top officials from the other police departments at a meeting in July to help the recruitment project. ''Bill Casey informed us that the CIA was interest d e in hiring retired or resently employed police officers who had backgrounds in handling undercover perators or who had been undercover operators themselves.'' Ward told the imes. ''We did not have t errorism before and we have to respond. It's laudatory that we can do something in the interests of national defense. "I expect we will lose very few people,'' Ward said. ,it is an overseas assignment under very dangerous conditions. But if anyone is interested, I won't cold him back.'' Los Angeles police officials said Police Chief Daryl Gates rejected the CIA equest. Gates would not comment directly on the CIA proposal but through a pokesman, Commander William Booth, said, ''We need all the police talent we ave right here,'' the Times said The L A . os ngeles Sheriff's department also ejected CIA overtures. "The kind of people they would like to have we want to keep,'' said Los Angeles County Sheriff Sherman Block. A few weeks after the July meeting a CIA representative came to Los Angeles ''to pitch the program,'' Block said. ''But there was no hard sell.'' A Houston police spokesman, Lt. Al Baker, said the CIA made a pitch for police recruitment during a summer department conference on terrorism.

Philadelphia Police Commissioner Kevin Tucker met with Casey in Virginia in July, said Capt. Richard DeLise, police spokesman. ''He did speak to Casey and thought it was very good interaction'' because of the city's ''We The People 200'' celebration of the Constitution's bicentennial next year, DeLise said. DeLise declined further comment. Tucker was out of town and could not be reached. Police spokesmen in Miami and Chicago said no police officials had been contacted by the CIA for any recruitment effort. A police spokesman in Dade County, Fla. -- the area surrounding Miami -- declined comment. CIA spokeswoman Cathy Pherson told the Times last week that CIA officials ade the requests of 18 major municipal police departments for temporary ssignments abroad at an unpublicized intelligence seminar on terrorism held by he FBI and the CIA July Z1 at CIA headquarters in McLean, Va. She said she believes this is the first CIA attempt to employ large numbers f trained police officers for intelligence work, but declined to say where the officers would be sent.

1Tom of the Raiders

By William Henry Bishop

Young Adult historical fiction of a young man joining the Union Army and taking part in the Great Locomotive Chase. (Summary by Brett Downey)

Thrill Book was a short-lived genre fiction precursor to Weird Tales featuring some of the same talent like Greye La Spina, Seabury Quinn, Clark Ashton Smith and Francis Stevens but with a somewhat broader scope that included crime and spy stories, westerns and adventure tales in addition to the sci-fi, fantasy and horror that Weird Tales was known for. In this first issue, marvel at the short story debut of noted Woman of Weird Fiction Greye La Spina! Thrill to the opening part of the lost race jungle adventure serial "In the Shadows of Race"! Sink into the curious doppelgänger tale "The Man Who Met Himself"! Be amazed at the mysterious and mystical tale of an ancient Egyptian curio in "The Jeweled Ibis"! All this and more! - Summary by Ben Tucker

3Four Months in a Sneak-Box

By Nathaniel H. Bishop

The kind reception by the American press of the author's first journey to the great southern sea, and its republication in Great Britain and in France ... have encouraged him to give the public a companion volume, "FOUR MONTHS IN A SNEAK-BOX" ... a relation of ... a second cruise to the Gulf of Mexico ... by a different route from that followed in the "VOYAGE OF THE PAPER CANOE." This time the author procured one of the smallest and most comfortable of boats... the BARNEGAT SNEAK-BOX. This curious and stanch little craft, though only twelve feet in length, proved a most comfortable and serviceable home while the author rowed in it more than 2600 miles down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, and along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, until he reached the goal of his voyage — the mouth of the wild Suwanee River — which was the terminus of his "VOYAGE OF THE PAPER CANOE." - Summary by Nathaniel H. Bishop<br><br> NOTE: There are issues of race in the telling of "Four Months in a Sneak-box", particularly anti-Black stereotypes and derogatory terms. It is LibriVox's policy to record texts as written.
