WASHINGTON - Legisla-
tion that would help the fed-
eral government collect bil-
lions in bad debts has put the
Reagan administration in a
Catch-22 situation
On the one hand, if the
White House supports the
debt-collection bill vigorous-
ly. it faces the certainty that
Democrats in Congress will
demand that the windfall '
collected from Uncle Sam's
delinquent debtors be
applied to programs that
have had their budgets
slashed
On the other hand, if the
White House doesn't support
the debt-collection bill, it
will be in the position of
betraying its own loudly
trumpeted determination to
cut waste and fraud in
government Democrats will
be able to argue that if the
administration won't sup-
port such an obvious way to
reduce the government's
expenses, it must not be
serious about the budget
cuts
How the administration
will wriggle out of its dilem-
ma may be revealed today
when Budget Director David
Stockman is scheduled to
testify at a Senate hearing
on the bill Stockman was
supposed to appear earlier
this month, but canceled at
the last minute, to the
dismay of the legislation s

Papers show AT&T arrogance
WASHINGTON (NEA) Ronney Harlow is a law abiding
middle aged ( hicago businessman who isn t especially threal
ening to most people but the worlds largest corporation
classifies him as dangerous to us
What could Harlow a modestly successful entrepreneur
possibly do to intimidate the American Telephone & Tele
graph Co. which last year earned more than $6 billion in
profits and boasts of 1110 billion in assets"
That s explained in an October 1972 AT&T internal memo
that characterizes Harlow as a threat because he sought to
improve his economic situation by attempting to compete
on a very limited scale with the telecommunications giant
Although 8G years old, the memo became public only
recently when it was introduced by Justice Department pro
secutors as evidence during the trial of the federal govern
ment s massive antitrust civil suit against AT&T
That trial now in its second month in U.S District Court
here has been the stage for an espec tally revealing portrayal
of a supercilious corporation that arrogantly believes it has
the right to virtually monopolize the marketing of telephone
service and equipment throughout the country
The government alleges that AT&T has for decades illegal-
ly used its market dominance and economic power to thwart
competition from other companies seeking to provide long
distance service or sell telephone equipment
The telephone company denies all of those allegations, but
the testimony and evidence produced to document Harlow s
experience typify the embarrassing disclosures to which
AT&T has been subjected during the trial
Harlow is board chairman of Private Telecommunications
Ini a firm that sells equipment to those who have discovered
the long term economies of purchasing their telephones rather
than renting them indefinitely from AT&T subsidiaries
How can a company of my size, asks Harlow threaten a
corporation that makes $3 million in profits after taxes eve-
ry hour of every working day during the year?
I hi* answer to that rhetorical question is contained in the
memo which said that Harlow was dangerous to us not only
because he wanted to make a fair profit selling telephone
equipment, "which he can only do at our expense, hut also
because he was determined to take his case against AT&T to
the public through personal appearances in public forums
and statements to the press and the (regulatory) commis
sions
Evidence that Harlow s case is not an isolated instance
< ame in the form of another document produced by the gov
ernment during the current trial it is a massive eight volume
197 study of Interbusiness Relations completed in late
Authorized by AT&T s Executive Policy Committee the
study involved interviews with the company s upper and
middle management executives to assess their views on the
tactics being used against competitors
Most managers interviewed by the (study) team felt that
the only corporate strategy in this area now is to delay and
minimize the loss of our monopoly position the report noted
Those "obstructionist tactics/ the study added had the
effect of delaying the entry of others into what has been
our business
AT&T argued for years that the introduction of equipment
manufactured and sold by competing companies posed a
potentially serious threat to the integrity of the system it
operated a claim that conjured up visions of a collapse of
Ihe nationwide telephone network
But revealed at the trial was another internal AT&T memo
describing that argument as our weakest position now
because we have not been able to produce evidence of harm
to the network or proof of our allegations of potential
harm "
Whether AT&T wins or loses the antitrust case, documenta
tion of the company's practice of harassing its competitors
and misleading its customers has irreparably damaged its
credibility and integrity

The Percy-Sasser legisla-
tion. however is designed to
give the government tools to
make its collection efforts
more productive
One provision of the bill
would allow the government
to report the names of delin-
quent debtors to commercial
credit-rating bureaus Thus
a borrower who reneged,
say. on a student loan would
risk a bad credit rating
Another provision would
permit the government to
garnishee up to half the
wages of federal employees
who fell seriously behind in
mortgage, education or
other government loan
payments. According to
Department of Education
figures, there are 18,000 fed-
eral employees who have
defaulted on their student
loans, the Veterans Adminis-
tration reported that thou-
sands of federal workers are
also delinquent on VA loans
Indeed, a Capitol Hill
source told my associate
Lucette Lagnado that top
government officials are on
Uncle Sam's deadbeat list
Not only has the government
been handcuffed in its
efforts to collect the bad
debts, but the delinquent
debtors' careers in the
bureaucracy have not suf-
fered a bit
The White House has
advised its budget experts to
downplay the debt collection

would bring in $1 billion to
$2 billion in the first year

MENDING THE CLOAK -
■ Counterintelligence is an
important part of the spy-
versus-spy game between
the United States and the
Soviet Union But under the
Ford and Carter administra-
tions. this vital function of
the CIA and FBI was
allowed to all but wither
away
Now President Reagan is
trying to give counterintelli-
gence a boost its advocates
say is overdue Indeed, the
CIA has long known about a
secret conference of top
KGB officials in 1959 that
set the KGB's main mission
as penetration of the United
States government
The ravages suffered by
our counterintelligence
force over the past few
years are outlined in some
recent secret CIA docu-
ments
Under Jimmy Carter, the
Justice Department's Office
of Internal Security was cut
from about 300 staff person-
nel to about 60 The employ-
ees involved were trans-
ferred to the overworked
Freedom of Information
section
Recently, however, the
director of the FBI's Wash-
ington office increased by 15
percent the number of
agents assigned to monitor
the activities of some 240
Soviet bloc officials believed
to be involved in espionage
activities
At the CIA, the decline of
the Office of Security began
with the firing of counterin-
telligence chief James
Angleton in December 1974
Then-CIA Director William
Colby had decided that
Angleton's Byzantine suspi-
cions had crippled the CIA's
operations Much of the data
Angleton had compiled was
destroyed, and new laws
curtailed some of the
agency's counterintelligence
efforts The counterspy staff
was reduced drastically.
Now, CIA sources say, the
Reagan administration
intends to reverse the trend,
in hopes of putting the
kibosh on the KGB s
freewheeling espionage
activities in this country

WASHINGTON (UPD
Conservative Democrats in
Congress have finally opened
the closet doors and gone
public
These conservatives
almost all from Southern and
Southwestern states - have
always been highly
influential and frequently
their power has exceeded, by
far, their numbers
The advent of the two-party
system in the South, the
demands of social reform of
the past generation and the
decimation of their ranks by
age tended to cut the
legendary strength of the
conservative Democrats
At one time, their grip on
committee chairmanships
in the Senate and Bouse
was so overwhelming they
could virtually dictate the
legislative calendar
And when they teamed with
the Republicans which
they frequently did that
coalition ruled Capitol Hill
Those heady days appeared
to have ended as large
Democratic majorities look
their place in Congress,
leaving the Republican-
conservative coalition
fighting rearguard actions
During the glory years, the
conservative Democrats paid
lip service to the tenets of the
party and their associations
except in the instance of
civil rights battles were
private
It was certainly common
knowledge that most of the
conservative Southerners and
Southwesterners had
instinctive reflexes of
Republicans Almost every
roll call vote showed their
colors
Now the conservative
Democrats have staged a
resurgence - and this time
around they are seeking
leverage as a cohesive,
organized force in Congress
They no longer have all
those committee
chairmanships and they do
not have a voice in the
leadership W hat they do
have - and what they are
banking on — are some
intriguing numbers
in the House, led by Reps
Charles Stenholm of Texas.

Republicans, when they can
hold their own troops, need
just 26 votes for a majority,
the role of the conservative
Democrats becomes readily
apparent
They have already wrung
some in-house acknowledge-
ments from Speaker Thomas
O'Neill, who recognizes the
potential, and they have been
welcomed to the W hite House
The House has not reached
a telling vote W hen it does -
surely on the budget - the
conservative Democrats
should find themselves in an
enviable position
A similiar group in the
Senate which describes
itself as moderate to
conservative - made its
public debut more recently
The group numbers at least 12
and like their counterparts
are mostly from the South
In a statement, the 12
endorsed President Reagan's
economic program although
they expressed some
reservations about his tax
package - a significant
break with their party in the
Senate
The presence of these
moderate-to-conservatives
and others made it impossible
for the Democrats to reach a
consensus position on the
budget in closed-door
negotiations before voting on
amendments
As a result, only one
amendment restoring money
for social-welfare programs,
sponsored by Republican
Jesse Helms of North
Carolina, passed
Some, though not all, of the
other amendments of this
genre might have carried
except for Democratic
defections The Republicans
showed an amazing degree of
unity on these amendments
but there often were just
enough strays to have put the
Democrats over the top
The most prominent of the
gang of 12 were Sens Russell
Long, D-La., former
chairman of the Finance
Committee. Ernest Hollings,
D-S.C., former head of the
Budget Committee and Lloyd
Bentsen, D-La., former
chairman of the Joint
Economic Committee That is
still a formidable lineup.

Advice From
A Physician
By Lawrence Lamb. M.D.
DEAR DR LAMB - My
husband has had ringing in his
ears for a long time The doc-
tor told him that his high
blood pressure was the cause
of it He has been taking blood
pressure medicine for years
and his pressure is normal
with medication But he still
has ringing in his ears Could
you please tell us what causes
this and what medicines can
help"
DEAR READER It is
true that high blood pressure
can cause ringing in the ears
(tinnitus) But there are many
causes of tinnitus besides high
blood pressure and many peo-
pie who have high blood pres-
sure do not have tinnitus
Your doctor is a family
physician or internist,
evidently, since he is treating
your husband's blood pres
sure Ask him to refer your
husband to a specialist in ear.
nose and throat diseases for
further evaluation of his
tinnitus
Tinnitus can be caused by
medicines, which includes too
much aspirin It can follow
exposure to excessive loud
noises or ear damage it can
be part of hearing loss or it
can even be from wax in the
ears
Not even every ear, nose
and throat specialist's office
is yet equipped to evaluate all
cases of tinnitus and offer the
best available treatment But
it is your best bet If it is
caused by a medicine it can he
discontinued
The treatment depends
upon the cause if it can't be
corrected by some measure
such as stopping a medicine
or cleaning out the ears or a
suitable hearing aid if there is
a hearing loss, an audiologist
can. through testing, often
mask the tinnitus sound That
means the person must wear a
tinnitus masker if one is indi-
cated The audiologist must be
trained and cleared to test
and apply tinnitus maskers
before he can offer that
service
To give you a more com-
plete idea of all the causes of
tinnitus and what can be done
I am sending you The Health

PO Box 1551 Radio City
.Station, New York. NY 10019
Some people have a hearing
loss and are unaware of it
That loss, which can be
detected with testing, may be
an important factor in caus-
ing the tinnitus
DEAR DR LAMB A
good friend, 22 years old, had
an operation for the removal
of cancerous testicles I real-
ize he will not be able to
father any children I have
two questions 1) Will he be
able to perform sexually
when he gets married and 2)
What effects will there be on
the body due to the loss of
hormones?
DEAR READER His
immediate health is the first
consideration it makes a
great deal of difference what
type of malignancy was pres-
ent It is somewhat rare to
have both testicles involved, if
that was actually the case
But. it may be that to control
the tumor the doctors wanted
to decrease the amount of tes-
tosterone hormone that was
present in that case they
would not want to use testos-
terone replacement. If one
testicle remains and he reco-
vers he may well be entirely
normal sexually and even
have children
A mature male responds
differently from an immature
male to a loss of both testi-
cles He will not change great-
ly physically and may be able
to perform sexually. The
Romans found that out with
their slaves.
If he needs and can take
male hormones, he will have
the sex drive and characteris-
tics of any normal male
