I tried to get another job but I couldn't even get an interview. That was the discouraging thing.

But if you're under 43, you don't remember the Great Depression and the soap lines, the massive unemployment and the soul-bending agony that it caused. I found out about it by talking with my father and what he told me adds a dimension that I never found in any textbook about the America of the early 1930s. My father, Charles D. Sif-ford, is 76 and retired. He and my mother live in Jefferson City, Mo.

In a series of conversations, recently, he reached way down inside and described, in the most indelible way I've ever heard, what it's like to have no job, a new baby and, at best, an uncertain future. "I guess what made it bearable is that there were so many other people just like us, maybe even worse. From the back porch of the little house where we lived, we could see the Wabash railroad tracks just a hundred yards away. We sat out there and watched the freight trains go by with people all oyer them. We saw women standing in empty boxcar doors holding little babies, and the tops of the boxcars and oil tankers were dotted with dozens of people all going some where but not knowing what they'd do when they got there." What does a man with a new baby think about when he's suddenly without a job? A I really didn't think it would last long and, besides, we had a little money saved and the cost of living was al Names In CIA Files IKS Unit ecret Probed Radical; By DARRELL SIFFORD Knight Ntwi Service In 1931, my father was a clerk-stenographer for the Wabash railroad in Mobemly, making $4.60 a day good money in those days.

S. citizens whose names wound up in the files of the Central Intelligence Agency as radicals and antiwar protesters also were investigated by the Internal Revenue Service, a Senate subcommittee has found.

The tax investigations, begun by a political intelligence arm of the IRS, largely failed to produce new revenue. Those probed were among 10,000 Americans whose names were furnished to the CIA by the Justice Department's internal security division. Although the CIA recently acknowledged receiving such a list, it was not previously known that many of the same persons also were subjected to tax probes. This is revealed in IRS documents compiled by the Senate Judiciary subcommittee on constitutional rights. DESCRIBING the work of the once-secret IRS "special services staff" (SSS) more explicitly than ever, the docu-.

ments show the unit received computerized lists of alleged "radicals" from the Justice Department in 1969 and 1971. In May 1970, the department furnished substantially the same names to the CIA. After retaining the index for four years, this agency destroyed it last March when it decided it would no longer gather intelligence on the domestic activities of U. S. dissidents, according to CIA Director William E.

Colby. Although the existence of the SSS was revealed 18 months ago, the newly compiled records show for the first time, the Los Angeles Times has learned, how a coordinated effort was undertaken against anti-war activists and protest groups throughout the Nixon administration. ACCORDING to IRS memos, the SSS collected information not only from the Justice Department and the FBI but from Army and Air Force intelligence units and the Secret Service. Some SSS files, locked in a walk-in vault, could only by viewed by officials with top-secret clearance.

Brown has charged Summit County Sheriff Robert Campbell with "a concerted effort to obstruct law enforcement and for being responsible for an estimated $30,000 in damage to the building Friday when several glass doors were smashed by vandals during a rock concert. Brown charged Campbell with failing to respond "to numerous calls for help" when persons without tickets to the sold-out concert began heaving rocks, pipes and pieces of concrete through the glass doors. BROWN, president of Ohio Sports Center which operates the Coliseum, said that he, owner Nick J. Mileti and their Cleveland attorney George Moscarino met after the Led Zeppelin concert ear- ly Saturday to discuss possible legal action against Campbell. He said they would reach a decision this week.

Earlier Friday Moscarino accused Campbell of wanting to "stop the concerts, close the Colisum and use these (State) statutes to send the (Coliseum) individuals to prison." Brown said the "non-response of the sheriff was responsible for the damage. There was a total disregard for the safety of the community, the Coliseum and the patrons who were here.
