The Washingfon l Merry-Go-Round By DREW PEARSON (Continued from Page 1) 1 Pentagon chiefs depend on Lin- coln as they do on no other Intelli- gence officer. But they never dis- cuss him. Questions about him are | always answered with a blank| stare. His whereabouts, his mis- sions and his reports are so secret they are known only to the joint Chiefs of Staff. But this much can be said about { him: he is the eyes and ears orl democracy in an explosive outpost | of the the world, and his services to his country are probably more hazardous and thankless than those | of any other single individual. TALL, DARK AND MYSTERIOUS The rare few who know Lincoln | describe him as tall, rangy, with, dark brown eyes and black hair | that is beginning to show gray at} the temples. He is a superb horseman, a crack marksman, and a versatile linguist. ! He speaks Russian, Arabic and a; number of other languages, He op- erates wholly alone, with no con- fidantes and no friends, but ming- Jes ireely aming nomad tribes, par- ticularly in the remote mountain areas of Iran. The natives say Lincoln is mar- ried to the daughter of a Kurd-| ish chief. There is no known proof {man of the Middle East. We are of that. It one of the stories told about him. Another is about his feat of act- as a native guide for a Rus- many raid into Azerbaijan, northwest Iranian province, early this year. Lincoln obtained highly important military information as a result of this exploit. Still another story credits him with buying food from pursuers who were trying to capture him. Also, there is a tale about a mis- sion he performed in Baghdad while posing as a British tourist. How many of these stories are true, no one knows. But they are all over the Middle East, and new ones are constantly cropping up. In fact,” Lincoln has become so legendary that some have begun to cast doubt on his existence. HI' YA, JUDGE There is one high U. S. civilian, however, who can personally attest that there is a Maj. Robert T. Lin- coln. The official is Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas. + He met the mysterious Intelli- gence officer during a recent moun- tain-climing trip in inner Iran, The meetins was as brief as it was startling. Douglas, his 16-year-old sonm, and Terry Dooher, of the U. S. Embassy in Teheran, were camped | in the Bakhtiari country in west- ern Persia. The Bakhtiari are great horsemen, and always ride at a fu]l gallop. One evening, they invited Douglas to ride with them. He accepted ,and was soon racing #t breakneck speed across the plain n armored patrol that made a'ley he, too, was not surprised. 1 “Giving GI's university trainipg ! v a khtiari on each side of g < LA e is the most forward experiment in 25 ARRIVE HERE him.
