Watergate Fame Former Sen.

Sam J. Ervm Jr, D-N of Watergate fame devoted year of outrage and indignation to the invasion of individual privacy by government agencies. His constitutional right subcommittee found that government data banks ere Tittered with diverse Information on Just about every citizen In the country. Perkdleally Ervin rahed a smk in public hearings about bumptious federal agents asking embarrassing questions about the sex life of young women applicants for jobs. The Census Bureau, the Social Security system, the Veterans Admimst ration, ail have hundreds of millions of personal files; every member of the armed forces and every civ ihan needing a security clearance Las been subjected to intense personal scrutiny.

Perhaps corrective legislative action via be required Watchful Eye But any citizen who believes that the atchful ey of big brother in Washington will be forever closed by booting around the FBI and the CIA is woefully mistaken. Likely the accumulative files on misdeeds of millions wdl lie l.vtfig around the bureaucracy so long as the pyramids shall stand. And there are millions of those files not a petty 10,000 as some would have it One indication of the magnitude and scope of the governmental snooping can be found at the Civil Service Commissions personnel investigations In addition to hi 3.5 million hdiv idu-al files, Drummond ha a card index with II million names, a to personal data obtained or held by other government agencies.

Unlike Nixon, he has not pretended th.it he knew all the aoswets or Lhaf was important to be consistent. Ke has dealt with his problems primarily in human terms. In public, he has been bold and assertive, Dut in private, he has used the dumb-boy technique, admitting he as in trouble, didnt know all the answers, and was reaching out to his critics for help Jjrsdoucslly, th6 Presidents are his strengths.
