The 1985 Legislature authorized
the panel to conduct a “comprehen

higher education in Texas.”

DALLAS — CIA Director Wil
liam J. Casey Wednesday called the
foreign press an “unwitting propa
ganda machine” used by the Soviets
to manipulate U.S. policies.
Such manipulation, he said, is a
“typical Soviet tactic” used in Nica
ragua and, increasingly, in other
countries.
Speaking to about 300 people at
a Dallas Council of World Affairs
luncheon, Casey blamed accusa
tions of CIA involvement in the as
sassination of former India Prime
Minister Indira Gandhi on Soviet
manipulations of the press.
Charges that a Korean Air Lines
jet shot down by the Soviet Union
was flying a spy mission for the
United States were fed to Western
newspapers and spread to other
parts of the world by the Soviets, he
said.
Casey, a World War II Office of
Strategic Services officer and for
mer chairman of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, was ap
pointed head of the CIA in 1980 af
ter serving as President Reagan’s
campaign director.
Casey said a broad range of
groups used by the Soviets as “front
groups” are also manipulation
togls.
Casey named the World Peace
Council, the World Federation of
Trade Unions and the World Fed
eration of Democratic Youth as
front groups for the Soviet Union.
The World Federation of Demo
cratic Lawyers, he said, is a Soviet
front group “responding to direc
tions from Moscow.”
“I’m not trying to whip up anti-
Soviet hysteria . . . like President
Reagan and all Americans, I hope
to negotiate meaningful, verifiable
arms control and disarmament,”
Casey said.
He said the CIA has recovered
from sluggish times in the 1970s
when the agency lost 50 percent of
its people and 40 percent of its
funding.
“That’s all changed as a result of
the strong presidential and con
gressional support,” Casey said.
The Dallas speech was sponsored
by the non-profit Dallas Council,
which frequently brings world lead
ers here to speak to the group. For

Hensel Park on South College
Avenue has been the regular stomp
ing ground for a nude man who has
been exposing himself to people and
eluding police for about six years.
Bob Wiatt, director of Security
and Traffic, said that during this
time he’s been seen jogging, run
ning, walking and popping out of
bushes in the park about 20 times
each year.
Wiatt calls the man an exhibi
tionist.
“An exhibitionist is not a danger
to anyone,” Wiatt said. “His pleasure
is in shocking his victim by exposing
himself.”
The exact description of the man
is unknown, but all the reports indi
cate he is a black male, about 5 feet 6
inches tall, from 145 to 155 pounds
and always nude, Wiatt said.
He said Hensel Park, which is
University property and is patrolled
regularly by University Police, is the
only place where the nude man has
been seen.
“This guy just steps out with a pair
of shoes on and sometimes not even
that,” he said.
One recent police report said a
nude black man wearing only “punk
rock” sunglasses was seen in the
park.
Wiatt said the incidents probably
are caused by the same man because
of the matching descriptions wit
nesses, mostly women, give.
“A lot of the people that call are in
a total state of shock,” he said. “All
they can tell us is that he came from
Mars because he looks so strange.”
Wiatt said all attempts to snare the
man have failed. Female officers
wearing plain clothes, surveillances
and park searches have been used to
try to catch the man.
“We don’t know where he goes
once he exposes himself to a female
and runs back into the woods,” he
said.
Wiatt said by the time a witness
calls the police and the police arrive,
the nude man has had plenty of time
to escape.
He said the pattern of incidents is
so erratic that it makes it difficult for
police to stake out the park and
catch the man.
“Sometimes he’ll come out one
day and the next day he’s back
again,” Wiatt said. “Then he may not
come out for a month.”
