Jack Anderson MORE LETTERS Prepared WASHINGTON — A startling plan to invade Iran with powerful military force has been prepared for President Carter The ostensible purpose is to rescue the hostages but the operation would also exact milittop-secr- et ary retribution This would create a crisis on the eve of the election Political studies show that support for the incumbent president has always soared dramatically during a national crisis The tentative invasion date has been set Sources say the suspiciously for president has assessed the political consequer ences and has concluded the invasion would be popular with the electorate This raises a disturbing question about Carter’s motive The person he really wants to rescue sources suspect is himself They believe he is willing to risk war to save himself from almost certain defeat in November My associate Dale Van Atta has been ferreting out the jigsaw pieces of the invasion plan detail by detail for three months He has seen documents so secret that the code word used to classify them is itself classified I am now able to report how our armed forces plan to invade and hold portions of Iran I know the code name of the operation I can also reveal that a “cover plan” has been devised to disguise the true intent As part of this cover plan troops and supplies are already being mobilized in the Persian Gulf area and “training exercises” have been in- itiated I don’t intend to publish the code designations or other secret details There is a danger that too many specifics could give the Soviets an insight into our methods But I believe the American people are entitled to know that the president is ready to risk their fortunes perhaps their lives on a desperate political gamble Sources deeply involved in the planning fear Jimmy Carter’s driving determination to get has distorted his judgment Some feel this strongly others admit it reluctantly They describe the embattled Carter as extremely intense coiled relentlessly pushing toward his objectives In other words his judgment about this dangerous venture is not shared by all the professionals who are helping him plan it Nor has he consulted presidential rivals Ronald Reagan or John Anderson who might inherit the fruits of his aggression The invasion plan of course does not become operational until the president decides the military forces are ready and the weather is right Up until 24 hours even 12 hours before he can halt the assault There k are also alternate contingency plans with minor or major variations which he could invoke So the president can deny at least technically that he now plans to invade Iran But he cannot truthfully deny that such a plan is in the works and that he has expressed the intention to go ahead with it Van Atta has seen the documentation he has spoken to several witnesses My decision to expose the president’s secret scheme is influenced by the experience of The New York Times before the Bay of Pigs invasion Details of that invasion plan leaked to the Times which sat nervously on the story A week before the abortive April 1961 invasion the Times published a few cautious details but withheld the heart of the story During the immediate aftermath a frustrated John F Kennedy denounced the Times for publishing advance hints of the operation “Every newspaper” he said “now asks itself with respect to every story ‘Is it pews?’ All I suggest is that you add the question ‘Is it in the interest of national security?’ ” But two weeks later President Kennedy confessed to New York Times editor Turner Catledge: “Maybe if you had printed more about the operation you would have saved us from a colossal mistake” It is with this in mind that I have decided to outlines of the October plan reveal the general ’ to invade Iran SIMON SAYS: Sorry! There’s a postscript to my earlier report that Rep Lester Wolff was crying “Foul!” over an attack by former Treasury Secretary William Simon in a campaign letter supporting Wolff’s conservaJohn LeBoutillier tive opponent Simon described Wolff as a “wartime visitor to Hanoi” leaving the implication that the congressman was sympathetic to the North Vietnamese communists In fact as Wolff pointed out he had gone to Hanoi solely to negotiate over Americans listed as missing in action Simon has retracted his statement and gave his young protege some philosophical advice in the process “In life when you make a mistake admit it” he told LeBoutillier who has dutifully apologized to Wolff and now claims he wants to wage a campaign of “philosophical ideas not personal attacks” re-elect- ed D-D- ay fail-bac- D-N- Y to a care center of some kind to live Most of the problems of the aged are of such a nature that loving home care is not enough because experienced and trained help is necessary Many soon consider the rest home as their home One of our friends cried when her daughter tried to take her for a ride because she wanted to go back home her home was one room in a nursing home To the ones who will be responsible for the decision on this transfer we say for them to please consider it carefully compassion is a beautiful word and this is a place and time where it should be shown Please don’t make our friends in Wide Horizons move! ‘ Mildred D Cunningham (Also signed by 24 others) 20 YEARS AGO August 18 1960 Wendell Hansen was appointed secretary of the Weber County Young Democrats succeeding Glen Jones Mr Hansen was chief clerk in the office of County Clerk Lawrence M Malan American U2 pilot Francis Gary Powers was sentenced to 10 years “deprivation of liberty” by a Russian military court which found him guilty of spying Clubs joined Members of Morgan area forces for a three-da- y camping trip to the Uinta Mountains Margaret Hall home demonstration agent and Ray Thatcher county agent were in charge 4--H 50 YEARS AGO August 18 1930 Weber County Board of Education hired Miss Reta Cornish to teach domestic science at the county high school to replace Miss Ethel Homgren who had resigned WC Stewart Ogden insurance salesman was the first New York Life agent in Utah to become a member of the $400000 club Mr Stewart reached the total with 85 applications for insurance Race track betting was flourishing as a $450 million industry oblivious of the economic crisis and the drouth according to a survey by the United Press Ohio Egbert III the youth once feared trapped in a real-lif- e enactment of a “Dungeons and Saving Lives Ogden The family of Jesse B Christensen wishes to express its deepest gratitude to the professionals serving Weber County On July 23 Stuart Murray and Mike Moore Weber County Paramedics and Bob and Susan Jeppesen emergency medical technicians for Mt West Ambulance responded quickly and professionally It was because of these knowledgeable efficient people that our husband and father received the best medical care available until arriving at the hospital The Weber County Paramedics and Mt West Ambulance attendants are an asset to this community in their dedication to the saving of lives Mrs JB Christensen tective who found “I’ve weighed it tention when he disap- very heavily I see no use in revealing the boy’s experience’’ game of his of computer science freshman Some officials appearance last year died here Saturday of says the private de- - a gunshot wound to the head that police said apparently was feared he had been trapped perhaps in steam tunnels beneath the campus five days earlier Montgomery County Coroner Jim Davis said Egbert’s self-inflict- while acting out roles ed in the fantasy game “Dungeons and Dragons” towhich is designed be played on brainwaves showed Others paper speculated his disap- no sign of activity and doctors disconnected his life-suppo- pearance was a game sys- rt tem staged to manipulate his parents police and the media His whereabouts for s kidThe to recito go neys are pients in New Jersey and Tennessee and his eyes to patients at Dayton’s Grandview Hospital His skin tissue is being given to the Shrine Burn Institute in Cincinnati teen-ager’- JAMES D EGBERT III 1979 from Michigan State University where he entered school as a Egbert computer whiz dis- month-lon- g 15 peared Aug a along with the secret ' Egbert became the center of national at- him fantasy William C Dear Dragons” will be buried Dallas said Sunday Ogden this is” Asked whether he has kept the details said “They can make a movie out of anything these days No not particularly” The private shop Pets Abused Hill AFB No Attack on Iran the youth died But on Sunday he said “Did you ever go to a movie and it ended on speculation? Maybe that’s the way Defense Chief Says WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s not true as claimed by columnist Jack Anderson that the United States plans a military invasion of Iran says Defense Secretary Harold Brown But Brown appearing Sunday on ABC’s “Issues and Answers” refused to say if there would be another attempt to rescue the 52 US hostages held in Iran A previous try failed last spring and eight American servicemen were killed During the show Brown was asked to comment on Anderson’s report that United States is planning an invasion “No that’s not true” Brown replied He was then asked if there would be another attempt to rescue the hostages and said “I will not either confirm that or deny it That is the kind of thing I just would not want to talk It has just been brought to my attention that once again it is that time of year when one may see an abundance of small domesticated animals — kittens and puppies — frolicking and gamboling through the parking lots of our fair city and Hill Field I for one certainly enjoy the sight How amusing it is to see a small black puppy scared out of its mind as it tries to dodge oncoming automobiles! How diverting it is to find a kitten with a broken leg nearly dead of pain and starvation! What fun it must be to spend a day or two on hot blacktop without a drop of water! How jolly it would be to be subjected to strange neighborhoods and new diseases! Far be it from me to suggest that people who do not want to put up with their pets once the novelty has worn off to have the animals put to sleep Goodness!
