C.I.A. WEIGHS ACTION ON WASHINGTON POST ARTICLE

Date: 22 May 1986

By Philip Shenon, Special To the New York Times

Philip Shenon

The Central Intelligence Agency is considering whether to take action against The Washington Post for an article about a classified intelligence-gathering operation involving American submarines, the White House said today. ''It is presently being analyzed by the C.I.A. to see if they have any specific problems with it,'' Larry Speakes, the White House spokesman, said of the article. The article, which appeared in the Wednesday issue of The Post, indicated that a former National Security Agency employee on trial for spying, Ronald W. Pelton, had compromised an intelligence operation that used a ''high-technology device'' to monitor Soviet communications. The article provided some new detail about Mr. Pelton's purported activities. It said that, according to unnamed sources, the interception device purportedly used against the Soviet Union had been retrieved by the Russians and that the United States had discovered ''physical evidence'' that the intelligence operation had been compromised. But much of the article repeated information readily available in court records.

Chairman of Ingersoll Is Building on Tradition

By Daniel F. Cuff and Eric Schmitt

Daniel Cuff

Someone interested in a publishing career might feel intimidated if his father had been publisher of Time magazine, managing editor of The New Yorker and a major influence in founding Life and Fortune magazines. Not Ralph Ingersoll 2d. Mr. Ingersoll is chairman of the Ingersoll Publications Company, a concern that his father started in 1957 but which the younger Ingersoll built into an empire of 114 small daily and weekly papers. On Wednesday, Ingersoll Publications paid $170 million in cash to outbid several competitors, including the Hearst Corporation, Newhouse Newspapers and Affiliated Publications, which owns The Boston Globe, for the two family-owned New Haven papers.

ALL ABOUT LEAKS

Date: 22 May 1986

By Leslie H. Gelb

Leslie Gelb

The anonymous passing of information from Government to journalist, or what is sometimes called ''the leak,'' may be the most misunderstood activity in the pursuit of power and policy-making. It occurs not only at the top of Government, or only by dissidents, by left-wingers or right-wingers, or by legislators, as opposed to Administration officials. It is not merely a weapon in internal policy debates, or just informational, or principally gossip. It is not simply something officials give to reporters or something reporters dig out on their own. It is not only knowledge that would damage the national interest or an official's reputation, or enlighten and advance the people's right to know. ''The leak'' is all these and more. The practice is taking on significance once again as the Reagan Administration tries to crack down by carrying out lie-detector tests and dismissing those in the Administration suspected of such disclosures. And as William J. Casey, Director of Central Intelligence, is threatening news organizations with prosecution under espionage laws for publishing secret data given out on communications intelligence or intercepts.

ADMINISTRATION FAULTED FOR CURBING COMMENT ON CHERNOBYL

Date: 22 May 1986

By Stuart Diamond

Stuart Diamond

The Reagan Adminstration, which criticized the Soviet Union for withholding details of its reactor accident, is itself being criticized for ordering curbs on comments to the press about the disaster April 26. Representative Edward J. Markey, Democrat of Massachusetts, made public two internal Department of Energy memorandums this week in which its contractors and employees were told to avoid commenting or speculating on the accident at the Chernobyl unit, and to forward calls to public affairs or an interagency group. A similar memo by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission was read to The New York Times by an agency spokesman, and an Agriculture Department memo to the same effect was mailed anonymously to The Times. Agency officials said the memorandums were intended to limit alarm and conflicting information on the accident's causes and effects, and to avoid friction with the Soviet Union.
