welcomed him to Cincinnati and "He ordered to use it" Colby said "Mid of course he didn't" cracked Frank Church D-Idaho chairman of the committee investigating the CIA BUT THE CIA clearly had plans to use the toxin against enemies as by an elaborate dart gun 1 from a briefcase and barrel first to a startled Church The weapon which has a 100-yard range looked like an oversized Colt 45 caliber automatic with a telescopic sight At one point as committee members examined it in obvious fasdna- -ban Sen Barry Goldwater R-Ariz softly called out the name of an old adversary syndicated columnist Mary McGrory When she returned toward him from her press section seat the senator smilingly aimed the gun at her The battery-powered gun Colby said can shoot various size darts including one "imperceptible iimoca-lator" so small that the victim could not even feel the missile entering his body FOR CLOSE UP work the OA chief said the agency's technical services divirion developed a fountain pen dart launcher disclosed that some of the stored by the CIA were intended to destroy the craps of unfriendly nations A proposal to do this in Vietnam apparently was scuttled at the last moment In addition to the shellfish toxin the CIA had a long list of other deadly poisons stored for posterity in admitted contravention of a 1970 presidential order to destroy all such materials These included stocks of Cobra venom and strychnine THE MAN WHO defied the order to destroy the poisons Nathan Got- don said he did so because he thought it applied only to the Defense Department and only to biological and bacteriological materials The shellfish toxin is chemical he said Directions on the stored stated: "Do not use unless by P-600 And not only was Gordon the man who hid them unable to say who P-600 was he asked the senators: "If the committee finds out who he is I wish it would be kind enough to tell me" By DAN THOMASSON Scripps-Howard Staff Writer WASHINGTON The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) sure could have ruined the annual picnic Along with the narcotics hallucinogenic drugs irritants riot control agents herbicides and lethal poisons hidden in one of its vaults the CIA had enough salmonella germs to turn any hot weather outing into a disaster if it were added to die potato salad Salmonella is die common bacte-that develops in spoiled food producing severe stomach cramps and dysentery And if that incapadtant isn't Ions lading enough hie CIA also could infect its enemies with tuberculosis brucellosis or severe mental depression The agency even had 10 grains of ergotrate malcate which is used in obstetrics to promote uterine in laymen's language labor pains NEITHER CIA Director William Colby nor the man once in charge of the storehouse Dr Frank Gordon could explain to the Senate Select Commitee on Intelligence why the substances were stocked or what application they might have in die cloak and dagger trade "I guess they just wanted to keep us up with the state of die art" Colby said lamely "I guess they wanted to see what potential these substances might have for us" i "But why tuberculosis and brucellosis germs?" asked an incredulous Sen Walter "Dee" Huddleston D-Ky guess they developed die tuber- etiloeis capability to give tuberculosis to someone they might want to give hjberculosis to" Colby said 1 According to Colby none of- die Agency's biological or chemical agents including 11 grams of lethal shellfish toxin produced at US Pub- lie Health Service labs in Cincinnati and Narraganset RI ever was employed by CIA operatives CIA documents made public by the com-mittee revealed that 5 about a of the lethal toxin was produced at die Taft Laboratory in Cincinnati DR PAUL KABLER retired former chief of bacteriology at the Taft Laboratories says he remembered-some of die toxins being in Cincinnati about 1965 I i him with a key to the city Kissinger arrived In Cincinnati yesterday sprite last night at the Convention

cfpeopto-instead of letting it be destroyed brought on the current hearings by die Senate committee ONE REASON for the shellfish toxin according to Colby was its planned use as a suicide method for captured agents replacing the old i World War II pill He said agents didn't like use of the pill because it caused agonizing pain and took minutes to kill The shellfish toxin produces death within a few seconds U-2 spy plane pilot Francis Gary Powers was carrying a silver dollar that concealed a shellfish toxin-coated needle when he was shot down over Russia in the middle 1950s Colby revealed I
