Patchwork justice in federal probes over Helms and Kearney
A column criticizes the inconsistent federal handling of cases involving former CIA director Richard Helms and FBI official John Kearney. It notes Helms’ light penalty for lying to senators about CIA actions in Chile, contrasts Kearney’s indictment for conspiring and illegal mail openings, and argues higher-ups escape accountability while Weather Underground and Philip Agee face little risk. The piece argues for consistent application of justice and questions the government’s selective enforcement.

Washington in flux as Carter aides and allies sway policy
A Washington report notes Robert Strauss remains a key asset to Carter on Congress and business matters, while debate grows over Taiwan ties and energy legislation. It cites opposition to Peking’s stance, hints at disability-scrutiny bills, Castro’s stance on Rhodesia, and a potential merger of EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers into a Department of Natural Resources and Environment. Potential cost savings of about 600000 annually are mentioned.
