[103]1. TI vould like the attached papers to call to your attention
[104]Tyson hag done which ia generelly not known
[106]Hie suceuseful use of emigres in making a calm and factual pre
[108]Sentation to the Arerican publia of conditions behind the Iron Curtain
[110]ia, in my opinion,
[111]by tho Heritage Foundation in the fiture,
[113]the banis on which tho Crusade for Freedom ean be run
[115]2. Dr. Tyeon sharoa our doubta atout the ¥ree University tn
[116]He agrees that the two principles upon which the University was
[118]founded 1
[120]A. ‘that there were suffiotent qualified Iron Curtain
[121]escapees to juatify institutionalizing their educution; and
[123]B. that by creating such an inatitation for escapees an
[124]soprit de corps ia oreated, together with a determination
[125]on the ;art of tho escapoes to serve their honelands at
[127]sone future date
[129]‘ have not been proved. ;
[131]3. All of the svidence to prove the validity of these prinotples
[133]is oertainly not in, Tho evidence at hand raises serious doubts, and is
[136]Ae Of the current 208 students of the Frea University, 37
[137]aré Yugoclavs, ani 12 wera born in Western Euro; oan countries.
[138](The high total ratlo — almost 25% of the student body -- of
[139]Xugoslav students, which is not a target country, together with
[140]tho non-eatellite born studenta indicates an inubtlity to recruit
[141]tho kinde of students the University wae intended to train.) it
[142]should also be noted thet from the information available to us Lt
[143]iu not poseitle to determine what proportion of thoss listed ag
[144]born in target countries actually left thea tefore Sovict domina-
[145]tion. T have the impression, which is subetantiated by the recruit~
[146]ing miasiona of Mr, Royal Tyler throughout Europa and even Turkey,
[147]that suitalle candidates ara already extremely difficult to find.
[148]It should be noted also that of the 64 outalde scholarships given
[149]to exiles in various Europaan Universities, 16 are for Yugoslava,

[160]Sacurity Information
[164]B. Wo have had -vertous reports which indicate that the
[165]morale of a mmbor of students at Strastourg 1s not good. These
[166]morale problems arisa from a varloty of reasons, among which ares
[168](1) They are not entirely certain why <hey are there
[169]and just what the Amerioan sponsors intend for thea;
[171](2) They fear that efter they finish their education
[172]they will be without jobs;
[174](3) There has boen a steady and systematic campaign
[175]carried on by French Comnuntst studenta at the University
[176]of Strasbourg to demoralize and a@lsorgunize the FEUE atudent
[177]body, In addition, several studenta are suspected of being
[178]espionage agents,
[180]4. Dr. Tyson te leaving for Europe on the 21st of January to make
[181]a thorough investigation and evaluation of tho Free University in order to
[182]ansver these qucstione, We aro aiding him by having the offictals of the
[183]President's Escapee Program make available a completa inventory of escapees
[184]who might be potential candidates for the University.
[186]5. Dr. Tyoon vas not the instigator of the proposals for a gymnasiua
[187]for the Froo University. Tho proposala were made and pushed by Royal Tyler
[188]and Spencer Phenix. The handling of this matter as far as Tyler waa concerned
[189]ves another example of hia difficulties in dealing with Phenix for, as finan~
[190]elal officer of NCPZ, and having no position in the separate corporution,
[191]that 1a, tho Freo University, Phenix has and is dealing with matters of

[527]can be useful to the various Divisions of the Agency.

[598]MEMORANDUM FOR: DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE
[600]SUBJECT: University of the Saar
[602]1, The University of the Saar was created on 8 March 197.
[603]It has four facilities -~ two in Saarbrucken (Letters and Law)
[604]and tuo in Hombourg (Medicine and Sclence). Faculty members are
[605]French, German, Swiss, British and Saarois,
[607]2. A number of "institutes" exist with undefined relations
[608]to the University though financed, as ia the rest of the University,
[609]by the French Government, and include a special institute for
[610]interpratera, an institute for economic science, and a European
[611]Institute. The support of the French Government of thia University,
[612]aside from its merits, is part of the French attempt to Europeanize
[613]the Saar.
[615]3. The European Instituta, devoted to European unity, is a
[616]recent creation and is largely the result of the promotions of
[617]former Deputy, Andre Philip, It was the European Institute to
[618]which thé Herald Tribune article specifically refers,
[620]4. The University participated extensively, especially the
[621]European Institute, in the European Youth Campaign. Some of the
[622]specific activities were ag follows;
[624]March 1952: The Campaign cooperated with the International
[625]Institute of the University of Sarrebruc' in arranging a
[626]meeting of young professors in the Saar and another meeting
[627]of youth leaders, both to discuss European problems. Films
[628]were supplied by the Campaign for both these meetings,
[630]By the end of April, 25 youth organizations (practically all)
[631]in the Saar were associated with the Campaign, During April,
[632]May, and June an extensive program of discussion groups was
[633]arranged in the secondary schools throughout the Saar. These
[634]groups were sponsored jointly by the Campaign and the youth
[635]groups of the Saar. The groups discussed all phases of the
[636]unity question but concentrated particularly on the Schunan
[639]14-0000
[641]Plan due to the economic position of the Saar in this
[642]matter. Films and publications of the Campaign vere used
[643]in the discussions. 7000 students participated,. ~~
[645]During June 1952, in cooperation with the Campaign, students
[646]and professors of the International Institute formad a
[647]‘coumttes along with youth leaders to discuss the particular
[648]problems of the Saar in a United Europe, - .
[650]On March 27, 1952 the Campaign held a large study group in
[651]cooperation with the European Institute of the University
[653]of the Saar. Students attended from Aix, Hambourg, Oxford,
[654]Tubingen, Leyden, Nancy, Berlin and Paris, Lecturers were
[656]provided by the Campaign.

[771]MEMONANOUM FOR: DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF CeSTRAL CN TELLIGENCE
[772]DEPUTY DIRECTOR (PLANS)
[774]SUBJECT s Call by Spencer Phenix on NCI”
[776]1. Spencer Phenix will call upon the DNCI Friday for tha
[777]purpose of taking up with him certain questions among which are
[779]the following:
[781]a. A gymnaginn for the Strasbourg University. The history
[782]of the gymnasium requant is aa follows:
[784]On 8 August 1952, at a meting of the PRC, NCFE
[785]proposed capital expenditures of $377,500 for tha
[786]Free University in Extle. Trice amount was placed in
[787]a reserve fund along with other requested budret Ltemg,
[788]It was agreed that funds held in this reserve could be
[789]released to NCFE by the BDO/F in conjunction with the
[790]DD/A if in their Judgment the submission of further
[792]data Justified such expenditures.
[793]On 17 September 1952, Spencer Phenix, for NCFE,
[795]made a request for $47,000 to be released from the CIA-i
[796]held reserve for the construction of a gymnaslun at the
[798]Free University.
[800]This request was rejected by the DD/P, He said he
[801]would reconsider the request if further data supported
[803]it.
[804]On 8 October 1952, Mr, Phenix made another request
[806]supplying further data. This time the request was
[807]reduced to $43,500. This request was also rejected by
[809]the DD/P.

[855]Ry memorandum of 5 December 195 Mr. Phenix refers
[856]tb the fact that the trustees have given formal approval
[857]to the establishment of a pymnasium and thit his under-
[858]standing of the reserve fund is that when the Board of
[859]Directors of NCFE ask for the money, they recoive it at
[860]once. He says that there appears to be some mi.sunder-
[862]standing of this procedure, pointing out that the locus
[863]of misunderstanding "{s in and around Frank Wis office."

[870]j
[872]b, The Turkish Prondcasting Station, Mr. Phenix Intends
[874]baste policy matter, he having been
[875]I i
[876]thustasm for the project
[878]informed by us that while there is reat en
[879]and while the State Department has set January 15th as the date by
[880]whieh VOA mist aither secure ayzreement from the Turkich Government
[881]or withdraw itself from consideration, tha basic policy question of
[882]_@ a whether RVE then moves in has not been definitively settlud.
[884]Mr. Phenix would like to know definitely now whether, contingent
[885]x \ upon the ftallure of the Voice to gain entry to Turkey, NCFE can
[887]| proceed with the building of a Turkish station, hic item, which
[889]j wilt probably be in the neighborhood of five mililon dollars, was
[890]“y \. ; Presented at the PRC meeting, at which time it was agreed it would
[891]jbe considered as a separate project at a later date. :
[893]“A
[895]prior consultation with and approval of top authority of NCFE and
[896]cIA.
[898]d. Barbara Rowen. Mr. Phenix is concerned about a little
[899]xirl who works in the Munich office, who through some mischance of
[900]several years standing is still on the roles of this Ayency and draws
[901]retirement pay, although her saiary is paid by NCFE. Phenix regards
[902]this as a penetration though in fact Miss Bowen is a valued employee
[903]of NCFE and has no contact with anyone from cla. We are trying to
[904]regularize the situstion by affording her the opportunLty of resign-
[905]ing from the Agency or resigning from NCFE. 2 §
[907]e. Second Installation for Strasbourg University. The
[908]trustees of the free University in Exile have voted to creato a
[909]German-speaking free university in exile, prodadly to ba located in
[910]the Saar. Phenix reports in his memorandum of December 5th that the
[912]|
[913]¢. The Slansky Trial. Mr. Phenix is worried about the
[914]’ statements in the Slansky trial indicating use of RFE by the United
[915]that this secret arrangement was made with RFE by CIA men in tha
[916]5 lfteld, No approval of Headquarters was ever requested. ‘Corrective
[917]y" , may cowpromise operational facidities does not occur again without
[920]Nae
[921]re
[923]States Government to send operational messages. We have told him
[924]s
[925]i steps have been taken in the FE Division to insure that action which

[939]French authorities at tha Teer to create such a unt and and is
[941]granted permission, the Agercy will supply the funds. So formal
[943]request has been made and t’ 22 project of course has. nos been
[944]budgeted.
[946]£. Nanos of penaloned od Army and Navy Officers. In compliance
[947]with DD/P Notice No. 2% ag ¢ue2 on 27 October, we have asked Mr. Phenix
[948]to furnish the names of peihoned Army and Navy officers »mployed by
[949]NCFE. Mr. Phenix is concerned about the degal ramifications of this
[950]step, statins bin fear that woat this order implles fse aim is that
[951]cote the monies he dispenées at Treasurer are government fro. Hie hag
[952]been assured py un that tae >. erp 798 of tho Avency-wide resuest is to

[954]in proprietary organizations. He has also been aasurs? vist Army and
[955]Navy pensionecs in hia orzvavization will be exempt fron 2uy action

[1285]l. At the last Project Roview Committee meeting on NCFE, you
[1286]asked that tho State Department be consulted on policy in rospect
[1287]to Natdonal Councils. A roview by State has begun. Moantime,
[1288]however, for your information and in ordor to enable you to anawor
[1289]quastions which may be raised by Messro. Dolbsare or Niller, IT want
[1290]to explain to you how the to Divielon is | presantly handling” extle
[1292]affairs,
[1294]2. The dhefleulty in this matter arises largely from the .
[1295]fact that three organizations are doing the job. Stato has appar~
[1296]ently found it nacessary to deal directly with exiles. CIA area
[1297]divisions, EE and SE, also doal directly with exiles for arma’
[1298]purposes. NCFE hands out the money and tries to keap them togothor
[1299]in National Councils. Out of this triplo play a large degree of
[1300]bad feeling and inistrust has arison between CiA and State on the
[1301]one hand and NCFE on the other. State, including Wally Barbour,
[1302]and the arva divisions of CIA-accuse NCFE of playing personal petty
[1303]favorites and of not keeping us informed. On the other hand, -coop=
[1304]eration of State and CIA witi, NCFE in giving positive continuing
[1305]guidance in their efforts has not besn forthcominge In the past
[1306]no coordinated attempt has bean made to give NocE highslevol
[1307]overwall policy dtrection. Rolaticns hava been per sonal, casual, -
[1308]uncoordinated, and sometimes confusinge

[1316]to initiate plans for reorganization and unification of

[1654]: l. The NCFE nesotiations for a untted Rusacian refuceo orzanization
[1656]‘ appear to be culminating successfully. Althouzh a muber of differences
[1657]have been resolved, a few controversial matters remain. These points
[1658]have been discussed several timea, both wth the !CIE ard the refurces,
[1659]but are of such imertance as to warrant special attention and exprasis
[1660]at this momente :
[1662]' 2. The sost urgent problem, the one mest likely to nullify tha-
[1664]| recent efforts and cause further difficulties, is that of Gencral Fedescue
[1666]Phe problem ia to Sind a position which the General will consider suffie :
[1668] eLently important for him and which we will consider sufficiently innccuoss
[1670]> to engure that he cannot interfere with the Comittee. f najority cf tie.
[1672]: refuees are in accord on the necessity for tlacing Limitations of active
[1673]ity on the General. For operational reasons, we require such liaitationse -
[1675]- The existing good relations between the NCHi and the General should be
[1677]_ utdlisad to persuade the General that a passive, honorary position 1s the
[1679], only way to guard his health for, by implication, later action. Fe must
[1681]: be made to realise t:at he is not ueing shelved but is being savece If
[1683]‘he cannot be prevailed on to adypt this attitude, he will have to bo told
[1685]. ' with complete frankness that his obstructicniam cannot ce tolerated, that
[1686]: he will have'to re-ain passive outside, rather than within, the new orfan-
[1688]: deation or riak losing the agsisiance he now receivese The first netnod
[1690]' 4s the more desivable, and it is sucrested that the General's secretary,
[1692]: Barbu Niculescu, te invorred of the KCrE's intention and warned of the
[1694]: latter step if his cooperation is ‘not obtained in expediting the General's
[1695]accentance of a rassive role. Hiculescu sneule be dealt with quite frankly .
[1696]end informed of tre consequences, to him as well as to the Ceneral, if he
[1697]does not cooperate. .

[1814]‘MEMORANDUH FOR: Chief, P & F
[1815]SUBJECT s Talk with Mr. Robart Lang
[1817]1, I gpent an hour and oa quarter in Now York on Friday,
[1818]1, November, with Hr. Robert Lang of Radio Free Europe. Tho major
[1819]portion of thig time waa devoted to a bricfiny by Lang of the NCFE
[1820]structure and the position which RFE occuplop in it, including the
[1821]philopophy of RFI. operations. Lang gave an Lapressive performance
[1822]and atruck ma on such short acquaintanco as an individual of ability,
[1823]Jjudgmant, and energy
[1825]2. Mr. Lang nade quite a point of the fact that hia opuration
[1826]inside NCFE to virtually independent. Ho intiauted that he recuives
[1827]no guidance from the President or other officore and has exponded
[1828]considerable effort,in the past sesing to 1t that an iron curtain ia |
[1829]kopt between RFE and the top command of HCFKE. Ho said that if RFE
[1830]had not developed and expanded according to a philosophy which it
[1831]itself had orivinated, it would have got nownure and vould still be
[1832]frustrated by whet he kept referring to aa thn "old State Department
[1833]line" ag exemplified by the views of De'itt loole, Fred Dolbeare,
[1834]and others, Ho then pointed out that-ho had received virtually no
[1835]guidance, policy or otherwise, from thiy orvanization. Also he
[1836]claimed to suffer from lack of contact with us, iio stated that when
[1837]ho saw Mr. Dulles ao week or 60 ago, it was the first timo he had .
[1838]talked to enyone in authority bere in many a moon. As far ag
[1839]Br. fraden and cowpany are concerned, he said that they dealt largely
[1840]with Adniral ‘tlller and his immedtate staff. It was clear that ho
[1841]would prefer to deal directly with bashingtoa, he also feolg in-
[1842]hibited by the fact that be has to cajolo Admral tiller into per=
[1843]misaion to como to Washinton. io cited as evidence an incident ree

[1947]MEMOHANDUM FOR: Chief, International Organizations Division
[1949]SUBJECT : Leland Etowes 1%S Approval of NCFE Hequest.
[1951]1, This memorandum will record the underotanding arrived at
[1952]in a conversation todwy with Colonel Edwards, Chief of 145, an
[1953]reported orally to Mr. Durkee by me, Admiral Miller telephoned
[1954]me today with an urgent raquest that we give our authorization and
[1955]approval to the use of Mr. Stowe for a further period of e1x montha
[1956]din the capacity of a consultant to PFE and not us a reguler employee.
[1957]This was tho sane basis et. was finally approved for the firet periad
[1958]of eix monthe which 16 atiaut to expire.
[1960]2, In discussing this matter with Colonel Edwards I_ refreshed
[1961]hie recollection as to certain features of tho original arrangement, -
[1962]including the fact that Stowe is an 6x, remaly capable individual
[1963]who has attracted other good people, notably Russell Hill, into the
[1964]effort, and who has no gerious security rapo against him. (248 is
[1965]not regarded as a loyalty or eccurity risk but rather as a gqurce.
[1966]of pogsible embarrassment in view of certain earlier writinys of his.)
[1967]Admiral Miller informed se and I pessed on to Colonel Edwardes the
[1968]fact that there have teen no questions:or flurries of any zind
[1969]concerning Stowe and the further fact that he has been coirg a very:
[1970]effective. job. Colonel Zcwards approved from a security standpoint
[1971]the continuation of- Mr. Stowe as a consultant to FE for « further
[1972]period of 81x months, Do,
[1974]3- I requested Mr. Durkee to so advise Admiral Miller at the
[1975]earliest possible momer:t. I assume he has done 60. a

[2085]PEMORANDUH FOR: DEPUTY SLPECIOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE
[2087]SUBJECT: Conversation with Kr. Jan Nowak
[2089]Ll. At your request, I ac a conversation today wilh Hr. dan
[2090]Nowak, head of the Folish radio desk of KFE in Kunich. I am sorry
[2091]that you did not get to sec hin. Our conversation reminded me that ”
[2092]ow work is terribly important, wiiieh is a nice reminder on a busy
[2093]aSternoon.
[2095]2. I say “important” because Nowak reviexed with me the Letters
[2096]he nad received from listenars in Poland and tnese, together with nis
[2097]own enormous enthusiasm for the work he is doing, reminded me that our
[2098]long days in Washington have an effect on the lives and hopes of people
[2099]far away. Nowak, wno was in the’ Polish resistance during the war and
[2100]wo on one of his three escapes from Poland at one time spent several
[2101]weeks in Switzerland where he had made contact with your representatives,
[2102]later worked for the 35C and he pointed out that at no tine during the
[2103]war was he given to feel by the BSC the sense of responsi. bility and
[2104]mission which he feels in his job in RFE. He said he was told wien
[2105]he was brought to RFE that the responsibility for the programs was his
[2106]and that if at any time programs went on the air which wor2 irresponsible,
[2107]then he would lose his job. ‘le says that wnen he has questions which
[2108]hea thinks might influences téed States policy, he confers beforehand
[2109]with Griffith and the Asericans in Munich, and sometimes arznments ensue,
[2110]but he feels, and I am certain he feels sincerely, that ho has an equal
[2111]share with Americans in a grect effort to carry the truth back hame..
[2113]3. T say Mtorribly" important becatse Nowak, like othar exiles,
[2115]rs out loud how long our work can continue to have an imwact. He
[2117]aself convinced that every Polish soldier is a potenvial ally of
[2119]wost but ne wonders, and makes his listener wonder, how longs we ean
[2121]oxrect this sympathy among a rising generation for which the past is
[2122]nexorably fading. po
[2124]x
[2125]G
[2127]s
[2129]h. Nowak made one point wrien I an sure he intended for your
[2130]ears, that ne was afraid that "certain peovle in Geran; " wno had
[2131]contacts into Poland might lead ais friends benind the Curtain to
[2134]1400000
[2136]betray themselves unnecessarily and trapicaiiy. He said that he had
[2137]heard that th people had promoted behind t Curtain a whispering
[2138]campaipn among the Poles at the time of the recent elections to the
[2139]effect that the elections wera to be postoonse?. He seemed to think
[2140]this an unnecessary rick for tise who took part in it. fe also said
[2141]that he had been approzened by thesa same peszle who asked him to urge
[2142]the Poles by broadcast to cross out the nasez sf the Communist candi-
[2143]dates when they voted. He learned only later, ne said, that the system
[2144]of voting at the last election was suen that in order to cross out
[2145]candidates it was necetsary to step out of tac valiot box and co it in
[2146]the open before witnesses. He had in any event refused such suggestions.
[2147]I got the impression taut na feels somo of our people are a little
[2148]immature. : :

[2170]SUBJECT? pp/P'a Kenorandum to you 30 October 1952 entitlod,
[2171]uo : *National Comittee for Freo Lurope, RFL, and Rolated
[2172]Mottere” .
[2174]1. You will be interested to know, I an sure, that lr. Wisner's frieng,
[2175]Mr. Geomescu, has recently been most helpfel. ‘Throvgh his efforts and the
[2176]cooperation of Jim Pekich of SE Europoan Division, I believe that ROPE 1s on
[2177]the threshold of a unified Rumanian National Council. ; : .
[2179]2. I'm in ontire agreement also with Mr. Qeorrascu's observation on
[2180]the personnel set-up within NCFE. As you know, Bre Dolbeara is concerned
[2181]about his role. He ia the firet to admit that his strength is ebbing, ond
[2182]that he should retire. I think it mist be arreed also that Mr. Lolbeare has’
[2183]dona a splendid job, a job that would have beon, and will atill be, difficult.
[2185]for a man in the prime of life.
[2187]I have discuaned this problem in confidence with Francis Be Stevense
[2188]Aa a result of my inqirtes about a possible successor to Mr.. Dolbearo, Hre
[2189]Stevens sugfests that Hr. Nathaniol Penistone Pavia 49 a person erdrently
[2190]qualified to do this job. I would bo intorcsted 4n knowing whether Fre
[2192]Wiener knows this man.
[2194]3. I believe alao, Hrs Georgescu's misgivings about Mr. Yarrow aro voll=
[2195]founded. In the last two months, Hr. Yarrow has teken an increasingly preme
[2196]inent position in Mr. Dolbeare's Division, a5 a result of Mr. Lolbcare's
[2197]physical inability to do a fell time job. Irs Yarrow is blunt, and inclined
[2198]to be dictatorial. He has & predilection for direct action in situations
[2199]that rightly call for finesse ond caroful development, For thasc reasons,
[2201]{n addition to the fact thet he ie of Russian extraction and. speake with a
[2202]heavy accent, I on convinced that he should not replace Mr. Polbearee In
[2203]ry opinion, under the right leadership, Mr.- Yarrow could continue te make a
[2204]valustle contribution to HCYE's dealings with emigres as an administrators
[2206]I believe that such a solution is politically possible, for NCFE
[2207]4n this phase of its activities is going through a period of groping and
[2208]painful reorientation. I hope that the start ve have made in working out &
[2209]re-statement and a. reedirection of activities within liviaion of Emigre Ree
[2210]lations will provide a program of positive projects which will supply amsuni-.
[2211]tion for psycholorical warfare, both behind the Iron Curtain and in the Free
[2212]World. Such a procram will call for.an efficient adminiatrotor versed in
[2213]exile affairs -- a position for which Mr. Yarrow is well qualified. -Under
[2214]the political leadership of a person of Kr. vavis' caliber, for direct dealings
[2215]with, exnigres, I feel that the ivision of Enigre Relations will be able to
[2216]clear up prescnt inefficiencies and contribute effectively to NCFE's over-all
[2218]missicns

[2415]with Henry Ford. I was merely paying a friendly call on Hoora ‘but he
[2416]raised tha matter of tho Crusade and asked Mr. Ford to como in and
[2417]talk about it. Thay are both, very unhappy with Kr. Walsh, who is .
[2418]Admiral Hillerts man on the Crugade and whom ML Lle socured fron the

[2516]Analyeis of Memorendua by Mr. Croigiton seo
[2518]The following somorandm, I balieva, discvesse most of the.
[2519]points raised by Hr. Scott. —
[2521]le Scxipte prepared in Munich are alzost never reed by Anericana
[2522]before broaicact.el thowh the goneral conten’ of each broadcast is
[2523]agreed upon in programing confermicos betvean tho American and exile
[2524]atatfs. ‘ihe reaucens why tha broadcasts aro not real by Anorioans
[2525]before they go on the air are aa fal Lows: .
[2527]a Because the natural inclination of Avoricans ig to-
[2528]ehange tho troadcasts, and such changes, 2FE officials feel,
[2529]are likely te lessen the “gonulne" quality of arile broad
[2530]easts for the iiateners.
[2532]d. Boemce the exiles fool thasselves to bo patriota
[2533]working for their comtries, and the submission of scripts
[2534]to Ancricann before they are broadcast would be regarded by
[2535]the oxtles as casting doubt upon thelr sllegtance and fervor.
[2537]tha American staff bolievos that it can exercioo policy control by
[2538]augrestions during program discus:dona rather than hy saking dolo-
[2539]tlona and corrections in the sertyty thaasolves.
[2541]2. During my trip to curope in June, 1 asked Hr. We B. Griffitn,
[2543]Political Advisor for KF, to institute the service of remlarly
[2545]’ translating the most sensitive iifE broadcasts after tie fact. Ha
[2546]has complied wlth this request and (lA now reccives Fnglis: trang-
[2547]Yations of Munieh seripts witiin a mont after broadcast. CIA also
[2548]receives an imodiata telotypo smary of all Kuntch broadcasts, ap
[2549]woll as a weekly connolidated sumaary of all broadcasts. ‘fo provide |
[2550]for imediate English tranalation of alk FE programs after tio fact
[2551]would require an enormous atarf of tranylators. :
[2553]3. Ho doubt RFE hae made the aistakes Er. Seott mentions in
[2554]comection with the Ltens abot the woakmess of tue tron Curtain and
[2555]tho ease of crossing it, and tie Czechoslovakian eurroney devaluction.
[2556]On the first point, Mr. Scotts dates are in error, for KEE did not
[2557]go on the alr wmtil July |:, 1950. Asauning tist re ceang that such
[2558]broadcasts were mada from that date until april 1951, it sauld be -
[2559]noted that this was the very beriming of RFS wren all of ite broad-
[2560]casts originated in New York. Such. teroadcasts certainly are not
[2561]being continued. I agsime they worm the result of inexperience. the

[2571]this wao unjuptifled, we sated md were crantod the right to retain :
[2572]this sscnoy in the CIA rezerve pending further juctifi catlote
[2574]5S. Mr. Seott's oxmplaint that the Infomation Yorvien of RFF.
[2576]‘has been too ewenalive and naive is probably correct. In part tits
[2578]is the reslt of clate inebllity, for justifiable seaurlty rencons,

[2606]MEMOHANDUM FORK: “Chief, International Grvanizations Division
[2608]‘SUBJECT s ‘President's Comatttee on Imairration and Naturalization
[2612]1. The attached memorandum, preatly modified in form by the
[2613]General Counsel of NCFE, is to be presented tomorrow afternoon at
[2614]an open hearing of the President's Comittee which is conducting
[2615]hearinys on tho McCarran Bill.
[2617]2, I was informed of this proposed presentation on Friday
[2618]afternoon, October 17, I obtained the attached from Mr. Greenlea,
[2620]_.NCFE General Counsel, today. NCFE does not know that Mre Greenlea
[2622]has been in touch with us and should not know,
[2624]3. I suprest that you review, with Mr, Wisner, whether NCFF.
[2625]should make such a presentation. In eanence, the prezentation is
[2626]an attack on the McCarran Bill. I sugreet that, perhans, NCFE
[2627]should not testify for two reasons:
[2629]ae This is close to a clear example of a tax exempt
[2631]charitable orranization, attempting to influence
[2632]legislation and;
[2634]b. The political implicationg are liable to be an
[2635]embarrassment for CIA. .
[2637]4. Apparently, NCFE is making this precentation in the hopes
[2638]of receiving wide publicity so they will ke in a position to say to
[2639]the enizrees with whom they deal, "look what we are trying to do for
[2641]you."
[2643]5. I urge your rapid concern, for the presentation is due to be
[2644]made tomorrow afternoons

[3080]a great wealth of intelligence 4.:formation, particularly in thu field
[3081]of psychological warfare, A foureday survey of the NcFs conductot by
[3082]an O15 cave officur indicated that three NCFs componsnts ~ tho Recoarch
[3083]and Publications Service, the MideZuropean Stuwilos Center, and tho
[3084]Radlo Free “urope © can mate a very valuablo contribution to the opera-
[3085]tional intelligence required by tha DO/P offices.
[3087]2. It is the purpose of this memoraoncum to suggest a proceture for
[3088]the most offoctive use of tha NCrs intelligence potential. The moat
[3089]practical approach see to be ae follows:
[3091]a. At this tine it does not apjear necessary to sstablish a
[3092]continuous flow of ruw an! finished intulligence from the Hcrs
[3093]to the UD/P offices, Rather, we would liks to uso NCFZ facilities.
[3094]whenever individual cases indicate that such action ia advisable.
[3096]b. We would like to maintain a direct relationship with the
[3097]NCPs Yor the purpose of onlisting ita support in the work on our
[3098]individual cases. When the nature of the case indicates that the
[3099]NCPS can maxe a valuable contribution to it, we could maxe arrango=
[3100]ments through the @hief of I0/TONIC, to make direct contact with
[3101]one of the security-cleared NCP3 officers. A permanorntlydesignated
[3102]OLS case officer (A. Snatton and/or Ii. Knoepfmacher) would then
[3103]procead to New York to discuss the substantive ressarch probloms
[3104]in the NCFs and reach an agruwsent on the scope of NCFé. support.
[3106]3. It ie recognised that the final authority on all contacts with
[3107]the NCFS reats with the Chicf'of IO/TONIC, anu that the latter may direct

[3212]1. T believe that I told Mr. Praden last ovening of the telo-
[3213]phone call which I had received. from Adwiral Miller and-of what I
[3214]had paid in response to hig roquost: for funda to build tho gymnasium.
[3215]I want to’ make it clear that, I offered him no specific encouragement »
[3216]and confined my remarka to a statement that 4f ho whshod to grav up
[3217]a proper application we would study it vory carefully. I told him
[3218]that thia.scemed to us an unnocessary exponse and one which I would
[3219]find difficult to defend with the Director in light of our present
[3221], _ economy drive. .

[3229]program? If wo were ever forced to defend this Free. University

[4693]MEMORANDUM FOR: DEPUTY DIRECTOR uF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE
[4694]SUBJECTs NCFE=CIA RELATIONS
[4695]1. Whon this Division was delogated the responsibility of
[4697]conducting CIA relatione with NCPE it was, immediately apparent that
[4698]a variety of problems existed which mada effective action on tha
[4700]part of IO Division difficult if not impossible. ; These difficulties
[4702]may be genoral ly summarized as follows:
[4704](1) Satisfactory mechanical procedures to provide
[4706]. _ information to CIA and to insure effective
[4708]cooperation and coordination of activities by ,
[4709]CIA and NCFE did not exist. This was true not
[4710]only in financial matters,such as the orderly
[4711]submission of budgets and financial reporting,
[4713]a8 well as security, but was also true of attexpts
[4714]to give NCFE policy guidance and to insure that
[4715]NCFE's activities did not compromise CIA
[4716]operational activities,
[4718](2) The attitude of the responsible officials of NCFE
[4719]was one largely of non-cooperation in terms of NCFE
[4720]and CIA efforts being joint to achieve the same
[4721]objective, Indeed NCFE's attitude was that they are
[4722]@ sefarate organization with the responsibilities
[4723]of a corporation’ in the State of New York ant that
[4724]the role of CIA's representatives in dealing with
[4726]_ them was one of being their salesmen rather than
[4728]: partrers, Yat Cac; herd Genel ORE alee teere:

[4730]0 tere Co6helle RK
[4733]14-0000
[4735]GQ) NCFi has not only failed to provide information
[4736]about its activities, but had generally expanded
[4737]its Felations with governnent agencies in an :
[4738]effort ‘to play one agency ‘against another and,
[4739]indeed, in many cases play the personnel of one
[4740]: agency ‘against other personnel in that agency. A
[4741]general feoling of suspicion and distrust provaded
[4742](ClAts relationships with NCFE.
[4743]LO 2. In a® attempt to properly discharged its responsibilities
[4744]10 Division has attempted to solve the above problems by (3) preparing
[4745]an agreement or directive which xtmtea seats out the Joint responsibilities
[4746]of CIA and NCFE and €§) which olourly states NCFE"s duties. and responsibilitts
[4747]to this Agency. To implement this agreement IO Division has, or is in the
[4748]process of, creating orderly procedures by which this agreement will be put
[4749]into effect. ;
[4750]; 3. If 10 Division is to suceed in its task, which in our opinion
[4751]ie well begun, two conditions are incourcepintien essential:
[4753](1) That there be a single point of liaison between NCFE .
[4754]and CIA and that CIA act as the sole official governmental
[4755]liaison ‘with RCFE, It should be said that this does not
[4756]mean that officials ‘of NCFE will not consult with higher
[4757]authorities in Cla, but that when they do, those
[4758]responsible in 10 Division will be fully informed.
[4760]* (2) That NCFE clearly underetands with whom they are to deal in
[4761]Oo 7 CIA and that those with how “they deal on a regular basis
[4763]are responsible officials entitled to respect as such
[4765]14.90000
[4769]officiala whose responsibilities are to lend their
[4771]cooperation and’ guidance insofar as it is necessary to

[4795]PROBLEM
[4797]It is likely that at a maoting you will hold Monday, $ August,
[4798]with menbers of the Board of Directors of the National Coruittee for
[4800]‘a Froo Europe, these Directors will maintain they do not wish to olgn
[4802]or to accent a direotive and/or agreement as to relations betweon
[4803]NCFE and CIA, which haa beerl approved by the CLA acministrative otaff
[4804]and the International Organisations Division of CLA.
[4806]DI SCISSION
[4808]At the timo responsibility for GA doalings with NCSE was trans-
[4809]ferrod to the IO Division, a survey was undertaken by this vision
[4810]with the help of the CIA acninistrative staff under Hr. HKolf. Tho
[4811]following was found to bo the status of relations betesen CLA and
[4814]1. Budget and Financtal Relations.
[4816]a. No orderly subs ssion of budgetary roquirements an the
[4817]part of NCFE has ever beon established or practiced. For exanple,
[4818]the CIA approved budget for tho fiscal yoar 1842 was substantially
[4819]different than the budget upon which NCFE based its activities.
[4820]Bad cummrndiscation has axtsted.
[4822]b. CIA has not exercised any form of control over NC¥E
[4823]expenditures after initial approval. for exanpie, NCYE hap been
[4824]free to switch funds allocated for one project to suc new
[4825]project or to pay for extending an old one without forther
[4826]reforence to CLA. | . :
[4828]0. Montes raised by NCFE through the Grsade Sor Sreedon
[4829]_ or monies advanced by CLA and unspent at the ead of the Msoal
[4830], year have not deen considered in the granting of funds yor a
[4831]new fiscal year. - : ae
[4833]y
[4837]14.90000
[4839]d. When budgets have been presented by NCFF, they have
[4840]not boon presentod with reaconablo tioroughness or accuracy
[4841]nor havo they inileated expencitures witch am rrasonaily
[4842]certain and those widch are projections of possible activities
[4844]for whdeh NCFE has nevertheless asked for. funds. : r
[4846]e. In cortain {nstances, Leas grants to certain national
[4847]councila, NGFE makes expenditures for wileh thore io no alequate
[4848]accounting te Neve and on witch thea Comittee has had little
[4849]or no infomatlon on how the ronsy 1s spent.
[4851](2. Financial Reporting.
[4853]ae Itds wnquestioned that tho internal buriness and:
[4854]accounting procedums of HC: arn excellent. Howuver, adequa ta
[4855]financial information has not been presentad to CIA. -
[4857]» Secu curity.
[4859]As the rocont case of Leland Stow: indicates, KCFE haa
[4860]disregarded essential gecurity considerations in tha hiring of
[4861]perconnel. Noitier the Socurity Offi.cor, CIA, nor eny other
[4862]branch or component of CLA, nas aytiuing but oxtranely inada-
[4863]quate information as to who ia on tie NCKE payroll.
[4865]ce. Polley Control.
[4867]In its relations with emifroa throuwh ite National
[4868]Counciis Division and in itu radio broadcasts through RFE,
[4869]HCFE has Ln many cases not received adsquate guidance from CLA
[4870]end the State Department and in some instances not {slLowed
[4871]tho guidance provided. CIA 1s eoldom informed by NCFE of Lts
[4872]proposed activities other than in its overall budge tary
[4874]presentation.
[4875]d. QGoorntination of CIA activitios with NCFR.
[4877]NCFE's activities in radio broadcasting, which account
[4878]for throc-quarters of its yearly budget, ore almost entiroly
[4879]transforred overseas, Tho action of its 100 or mora overscas —
[4880]personnol often cut acrosea Clits ow fleld operations. NCFE
[4881]has not accepted coordination in this Meld.

[4885]Solve These Cirricuities.

[6422]probably yugezest many more. There are, iGweve-, certain broader
[6423]potentialities for the developwent of tuis instrument which

[6426]In the first place, Lt should be pouslble to gain

[6429]to produce such an advantage. ‘
[6431]To brand this appronch as hopelessly idealistic is to

[6433]Valka from July-1°51 to January 1952 oy the Geraan canp commander
[6434]at that time, von Howeyer. When von Homeyer, with no previous
[6435]‘experience of these problexs arrived, ‘alka waa in terrible
[6436]situation, inif£inga and riots were fre.uent and tne Nuremberg
[6437]police were not only on constant alert, out a force of 28 men
[6439]was maintained at the eamp,
[6441]Von Homeyer began by calling the national represyentatives
[6442]together, and it took hin two weeks to zet “Unem into one rooms

[7225]Study of Worldng Relations between NCFE and CIA by
[7227]SUBJECT:
[7228]Lom IO and as/s
[7231]1. Following upon ita assumption of responsibility for tha NE
[7232]project, IO, aided by the AS/S, has umlortaken over the past two months
[7233]an investigation into tho NCFE/CIA rolations. It hat soneluded | these
[7234]relations have detorioratod to a danrorous extent anit Agency has lost
[7235]control of tho NOFE aetivity to a degree it can no longer ignore.
[7236]2 In general, tho fundamental defect in thes relationshir is that
[7237]‘the NCPR has refused to recoymize tho legitimate duties and responsibilities |
[7238]of CIA for tho policies ’ financial administration, and security aspects
[7239]of tho HCFE, and the latter hap persisted in regarcing itself as virtually
[7240]autonomous. Tho seccadary woakness in the situation has been tho inadequacy
[7242]and confusion of the procedures which were developed to maintain control
[7244]over ard taanation of NCFE's activities.
[7245]3. As cxamples of the consequences to which these weaknesses have
[7247]led, the following are cited: (here should be discussed illustrations of
[7249]specific problems such as those in your para. a.)
[7251]kh, The remedy which is being developed az 2 consequence of this
[7252]investigation is the re-definition of the recponsibilities of CZA and
[7253]authorities of NCFE and the development of new procedures for the conduct
[7254]of relations between ECPE and CIA. Thes se definitions. and proced: tres have
[7255]teen reduced to a Kemorandun of, Agreenent which has been prepare by CIA
[7256]and subritted to NCFE for study, A copy of this Lerecnerit is attached as

[7387]MFMORANDUM FOR: DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTKLLIGENCE -
[7389]SUBJECT; Crusade for Freedom
[7391]1, Admiral Miller will call upon the PDCI soon to request
[7392]more funds for. the Crusade for Freedom, At the prosent rate of
[7393]expenditure, funds will run out on 31 December, . .
[7395]2, $158,991 was budgeted for the Crusade this year, We
[7396]have told Admiral Miller that since the Crusado was unable to
[7397]live within this budget, wo were certain that the Agency would
[7399]appropriate pore money to wind it up, although we have explained
[7401]that his request was embarrassing because the PRC had expressly.
[7402]approved $456,991 instead of a larger amount in tho boliof that
[7403]less money. should be expanded this year. We have aaked Admiral
[7404]Miller to provide us with a financial statement of the Crusade
[7406]cost to date as well as a breakdown of the further amount needed. -
[7408]é . .
[7409]3. The Crusade this year has so far cost only a quarter of
[7410]last. year's expenditure and half of the amount exponded in 1950,
[7411]Recoipts are up, 10% over last year at this date. On the whole,
[7412]a much better job has teen done to date than w antlelpated «+
[7413]and purely in terms of the amount raised the performance has
[7415]been superior,
[7417]lh. There is a good deal of gossip about the use of Crusade
[7418]funds and I. think you should be acquainted with it. Because the
[7419]Crusade is a rather public enterprise, the gossip has occastonally
[7420]been sounded not only within NCFE and this Agency but also among
[7421]"seml-witting" private citizens who have been enlisted for short-
[7422]term fund-raising on an unpaid basis. The gossip is that a good
[7423]deal. of money has found its way into the private hands of local
[7424]Crusade chairmen and workers, -In one instance, it ig said,
[7425]involving a local chairman in Minnesota, the amount which reached
[7426]private hands was enough to build a new home, Another story I have
[7427]heard repeated by different people on different occasions is that
[7428]in the state of Nevada and ‘certain other locales no money received
[7429]by fund-raising chairmen last year was ever turned in to Head=
[7430]quarters, and no report ever made. Another item which some
[7432]PUPPET a ng
[7433]~~ Ste - Posse
[7435]14.90000
[7437]of the people in the New York office talk about is the payment of
[7438]$37,500 to Fred C. Smith, who worked for approximately one month
[7439]in drawing up a Dimes for Freedom campaign which, as you recall,
[7441]was rejected as a basis for this year's campaign,
[7443]5. No accounting of Crusade funda oxpenmied in the field has
[7444]ever been made, and in a fund-raising campaign it is perhaps
[7445]imposaible to do so. Nevertheless, records involving payments
[7446]for expensa money to private citizens onyazed. for the duration of
[7447]the campaign are chaotic. You will recall that Spencer Phenix,
[7448]Treasurer of NCTE, refuses to have anything to do with expenditures
[7450]for the Crusads.
[7452], 6, Since.we are winding up the Crusade this year and will
[7453]attempt to-place it ‘on a more reliable basis through the Heritage
[7454]Foundation, I sugzest that you assure Admiral Miller that funds
[7456]' sufficient to wind up the Crusade will be forthcoming and that: you
[7458]instruct the 19 Division’to expedite a project granting these -
[7459]funds. I further suggest that in view of the allagations above,
[7460]which I repeat for your private background information, you keep the
[7461]position of tha Agency faultless by requesting from Admiral Miller
[7463]a budget in as smch detail as possible tor the amount necessary to
[7464]‘liquidate the Crusada.

[7498]order to fulfill the Aponcy's fundamental policy, fiscal, and
[7499]socurity responsibilities. Tho groat cizo to which TONIC has
[7501]‘ prowmn makes it necessary for tho Agency to toke a closer interest
[7502]in, TONIC's activities than it has in the paste : ;
[7504]be Although final concurrenc? in an Agreement has not boon
[7505]reached by TONIC, 1t is necessary that revision of tho financial
[7506]_budret be commenced inmediatcly if Prec budret approval is .to be
[7507]obtained ag soon.as possiblo after a final Arrecment has beon
[7508]Yeached, Tho budget document must be expanded in orvor to proe
[7509]vide reasonably detailed information not only as to proposed
[7510]changes from the previous year's activitics but also rerarcing
[7511]the continuing activitics as well, ‘Without this additional in-
[7512]formation there is lacking sufficient data on which to base the
[7513]approval of any allotment of funda. .
[7515]he The President assured us that a revision of the budget would be
[7516]undertaken immediately to provide not only tho information the Acency ree
[7517]quires but also to eliminate incomrletely planned, vaguely foreseen requ re=
[7518]monts. lie assured us that tho revision woulc be completed in tine to per
[7519]mit a review, prior to its presentation to the PRC, for the purposo of
[7520]determining that the document attains the etandards set forth in tho Agree=
[7521]ment. The Treasurer concluded that he wis sufficiently faniliar with the
[7522]tems of tha fiscal portion of tho Arreenent to be able to satisfy its
[7523]requirenents, but promised to call upon us if he should desire further
[7524]clarification. — . :

[7545]proposed in the Arency approved budet since other Arency plans must be
[7546]synchronized harmoniously with TONTC!s approved prograa. Accordingly, the
[7547]principle of establiching an expenditure coiling for oach of the TOUIC
[7548]divisions is recerded by the Arency as fi tal with which intor-division .
[7549]tranofers without Agency approved, would be inconpatl ble. Wo assured the
[7550]Prosicent it pocitivoly vas not the intent of the Agency to lift managerial
[7551]reoponsibility from TONTC's own hands, and that the controls contemplated
[7552]by the Apreement aro almad not at ctifling manarcrial activity but rather
[7553]to tho attainnent of the. minim checks which tho Asency fools it must -

[8563]REFERENCE: Paris 0615 (IN 37959) dated 23. Movember 1953
[8565]1. The reference telegpran from Parts containg a recommendation
[8566]that NCFE dé what it can to -prevaj] upon Gafencu to conv back to the
[8567]United States and Cigage himself in certain activities wich may be’
[8568]of sone use and value to NCFE, The following information was obtained
[8569]yesterday fran vr, Tyler who is fawiliar with the background of tie
[8570]reforence messava, .
[8572]concerned about the activities and behavior of Gafcneu in Europe, and
[8573]more eSpecially in and amund Paris, and although he does nct Lelteve
[8574]that a major issue needs to bas made of this matter, he is firmly of —
[8575]the opinion that Cafencu ts not doing anything useful for the HCE
[8577]2. Mr. Tyler stated ‘that Mr. John iurhee has become sonewhat
[8579]“in Lurope and that the net effect of his activities is somewhat to
[8581]the disadvantaze of the interests of the United States. Carencu is
[8582]bulleved to be mainteining a rather close association with Cuy de la
[8583]Tournelle (sp?) and his wife, who are described as-"very sour auplea
[8584]and bitter opponents of LDC," Safencu is also rnported to have teen
[8585]involving himself with certain businessmen in Franca in a series of
[8586]questionable o11 promotion schemes, He is also reported to have been
[8587]engazed in organizing. a kind of information center in ealgre circles
[8588]and to be selling this information to Agence France Presse, Moreover, .
[8589]Gafencu has been selling himself and "throwing hia weight around" on
[8590]the basis of reprecentaticns ard strong intimations tiat he is a close
[8591]and intimate friend of Mr, allen Dulles. [iis utterances in this re~
[8592]card are regarded by Mr. Hurhes as highly indiscreet, the more so
[8593]since he appears to te living and entertaining on a scale suffictently
[8594]lavish to Suggest that he is being vrovided with Substantial funds --
[8595]well above the allowance granted to him by NCFE,
[8597]3e Mr. Hughes,as. well as the Paris Station, fully appreciates
[8598]that NCPC is not in a position to force the return of Gafencu to the
[8599]United States. At the sane tine, he believes that NCFE should do ,
[8601]SECRET
[8603]Seewity telocnanon
[8605]1400000
[8607]all that it can to, got him out of Paris and he recomuends that a , strong
[8608]invitation be oxtanded by. NCFE to Gafancu. to return to the United States,
[8609]and that this dnavitation be: coupled with a st&tament to the effect that
[8610]in view of budyatary considerations and the very mare Inol value of >
[8612]Gafencu's activities in Europa, it will not be pos
[8614]{ble ter NCES to
[8616]continue his stipend unless He returns to the United States and anrages —
[8617]himself in activitian: more useful to the program of NCH.

[8633]Since dictating this memorandua, | nave received a report from
[8634]@ well-informed Rumanian source to the effect that Cafenew has
[8635]roturned to the United States within the past few days for the
[8636]purpose of remaining here indefinitely. (The fact of Gafencu's
[8637]return to the US has been positively established, and it is |
[8638]possible that within the next day or so confirmation will ba’
[8639]obtained concerning his lenger-ranse Suture intentions.) ‘ky
[8640]Rumanian informant has told me that the real reason for ‘Gafencu's
[8641]retum was an urgent request rr falaxa, who feels that he re-
[8642]quires Gafencu's present in the United States to assist him ,
[8643](Malaxa) in government cireles, etc. My Runanian sourca: is
[8644]prejudiced against Malaxa, but has maintained contact with
[8645]Cafencu notwithstanding: this, and is convinced that Cafercu
[8647].is still on Halaxa's pay roll and subject to Nalaxa's denands
[8649]for this reason,

[9979]fo apperently integrated throughout the Bloo, with a certain amount ,
[9980]. of cooperation between countries. That 18, prograne directed to one
[9981]Satellite country may be jammed not only from within the country but
[9982]fron Rusoia and from neighboring Satellites.
[9983]At least some of. the jamars are closely controlled 60 that
[9984]efforts to evade them by changes in frequency or schedules are frequently
[9985]“met by & prompt reaction on the part of the Jammer -- within a minute

[10119]Apbassador Joseph Flack and solicited his comments on reported
[10120]unrest in Foland, and tho utility of KFE and VoA Polish broadcastss
[10122]2. with reference to intemal distarbancea and partisan -
[10123]activities, Flack atated that there hava Seen Fabsolutaly aone®  —

[10126]‘the Juie upFisings in Eaat Germany were proved to have been without
[10128]foundaticn ag a result of relatively unrestricted survey action .
[10129]then taken by numerous representatives of (, Se, British and French
[10130]diplonatieé Rissions in:Poland. He axpressed hie convictioa that
[10132]there ig‘no eignifieant underground organisation in Poland which |
[10133]might be eansidered as an immediate assat by the vest, and enpha-
[10135]sized his belief that serious disturtances would not occur as long
[10136]ae tho present Soviet control mochaniss retains ifs power and the
[10137]Soviet. arnies in Poland and East Germany ro unctallenged. The
[10138]bitter lessons of World War II, particularly the abortive Narsaw
[10139]uprisings, and leck-of confidenca in the Polish emigration define
[10140]itely discourage active resistance. The Foles increasingly tend to
[10141]resent tha action of the emigre leaders, revarding then assa:tially
[10142]as. avmbols of failure, and, Flack feels, vill undsubtedly develop
[10143]nav leaders from within the: country when the time comea for actions
[10144]30 Plack carefully distinguished resistance as an ivmediate
[10145]asset froa resistance ag a potential asset. Hs expressed the
[10147]. belief that the Catholic Chirch atill cffers the atrongest ard the
[10149]best organised base of rvsistance in Poland aa it is looked upon

[10560]WASHINGTON
[10562]September 17, 1953.
[10564]Miss McCrum:
[10566]Thave a feeling that no one on our ide ie prepared to keep a firm hand
[10567]on the Jaan Paul David trip. :
[10569]David is timoelf a king-sizo {roe wheeler. Although be is unquestionably
[10570]‘one of the French "doers," as opposed to “talkers, in thia field, he
[10571]is also quite a big-mouth and inclined to over -talk, Over-promine and over-
[10573]' indulge in cloak-and-dagger stage setting. U he hasn't got a guard, armed
[10575]to the teeth, with a berat and a half-burned cigarette glued to his undorlip,
[10576]lurking outside the dining-room, he can't enjoy hig meal. us
[10578]The plot ia complicated by the fact that as far as the U.S. ja concerned
[10579]he has always been strictly covert. This time he arrives as strictly
[10581]‘“overt" s0'no one on our side will roally know how to behave since
[10583]everyone will have todo and be the exact oppoaite of what they did and
[10584]were during David's last trip. .
[10586]I would suggest that you show the attached to Abbott Washburn, George
[10588]' Morgan, Tom Sraden and/or Bill Durkee, and Joa Phillips (also thio note) '
[10590]and suggsot that they work out whe should consider himself responoible.
[10592]I personally hope Joe Phillips will be willing to take it on,
[10594]Incidentally, the American who handles David best ie Helen Kirkpatrick,
[10595]She might conceivably be drafted aa chaperone for this trip.

[10602]COPY
[10604]The following ia {rom a dispatch written by Me. William Tyler, dated
[10605](22 Juno 1953, _ :
[10607]ae 1. After a recent conversation with Jean Paul David, at which time he
[10608]. -* outlined hie activities and ideas in connection with the mission with which
[10609]he io charged by Georgos Bidault, I received a lettor from him,
[10611]2. It will be seon {rom this letter that David is most anxious that the
[10612]report which he will make on hia vutvey should reprosent, without committing
[10613]any one Country, a systhesie of the views and the resources of the Western
[10614]powerga allied under NATO, in the broad field of Propaganda and psychological
[10615]warfare dosigned to build support for Western defense policy and to promote
[10617]the achlevement of. the Odjectives of these policies,
[10619]y wAlch we-have to face, and which we’
[10620]are probably unique in having to face, i3 due to the organisational otructurg
[10621]within which we Oparate officially ia the general field under discuasion, In
[10622]a country like Italy, for example, it is possible for David to have exchanges
[10623]of views with high officials of-the- government and to feel reasonably sure
[10624]that even though auch views aro not to be taken aa 8 commitment, they do in fact
[10625]represent the disposition of the government in question, or any government
[10626]likely to succéed it, toward these probdloms. In our case, however, it seems
[10627]to me that it will requiro careful Préparation to determine with whom David
[10628]should consult and to work out a conatructive pos:tion which will influence
[10629]bis report and his recommendations in a direction which wa approve, -
[10631]3. It occurs to me that a difficult
[10633]; 4. It is particularly difficult for me to make specific recommendations,
[10634]since developments in Washington in the last few months are difficult ta
[10635]keep up with fram overseaa. R would, therefore, be particularly helpful
[10636]to-have headquarters' viewa at this stage on the following points, assuming
[10637]‘that David. will go tothe States in late September on the last leg of hia survey:
[10638]a. With whom should he meet for basic discussions. (It occurs to
[10639]me that a suitable body, if atillia existence, would. be the Psychological
[10640]Operations Coordinating Committes.) . a
[10641]: b. Within what limits at this time are we prepared to discuss the
[10642]problem of concerted action for the psychological strength of the North
[10644]Atlaatic Community.
[10646]5. As headquarters is aware, C. D. Jackson knows David personally,
[10647]and it would perhaps be useful to arrange for conversation’ with him and
[10648]“pny group he might have in mind.:.: It is true that the position of David
[10649]with regard to this Agency is anomalous, ‘since the survey on which he is
[10650]engaged, far fram relating to covert Operations, is of the most official
[10653]14-0000
[10655]kind possible. As he.
[10657]frat weet di 7
[10659]; adquarters has painted out, his intorests-in his present.
[10660]mission in reality pertain more to the Stato Department-and NATO than
[10661]to ua, and It seoma to mo that we should not be in the direct lino of fire
[10663]. except in the ‘capacity of individual observara or participants in the:
[10664]-conversationa he will have. It would, therefore, seem to be all the more
[10666]important that wo arrivo ata clear undorstanding among ourselves aa to
[10667]how David's trip to the States will be organised and what is to be the
[10669]= respective role of the component eloments in the psychological effort with
[10670]_ Fegard to his survey, : ;

[10688]tha Minioter of Foreign Affaira, :

[10693]of thinking) the traditional phraseology vhich gensrally takes
[10694]the plane of action.
[10696]- To date, in Italy, Belgium, Holland, Denmarh, Norvny .. I
[10697]have succeauively conferred with the Prime Ninioters, Ministers of

[10716]of October, ve shall here available a program on the basia of which

[10722]and proaiced mo substantial reports.

[10766]1. The central facts in thie business areas follows:
[10768]: a NCFE had a letter sent to the President of the United States |
[10769]Signed by various. individual exiles exprossing their gratification
[10770]‘to the United States Government for its "initiative in plscing as an

[10777]a ture which NCFE could publioly exploit in cooperation wita the United

[10779]6. Late Friday afternoon this Division was informed by the De~
[10780]Partront that no answer could ts forthcoming as the ULB. Delegation

[11381]some job for Sam Reber. I told him to wait on this until I had time

[11464]vantage of rurther demonstrations and ricts in the satellite a-cas.
[11465]Should there be an uprising in Poland, for exaupie, it may be desire
[11467]‘able for RFE to placa broaicasting time at the disposal of Radio
[11469]Liberation so that the latter oy addreas concentrated ani repeated
[11470]appeala to the Red Army not to fire oa Polish vorkerfs abd peasants,
[11471]pot to interfere in the Polish atruggle far freetom, and to consider
[11472]the Polish people as the allies of the Soviet people in their common
[11473]struggle against Commalec. It was this lice that Hocio Liveration
[11474]follcwed during the East Cernan uprisings. In the event of riots
[11476]in Czechoslovakia vhere the Red Army is rot present in force and
[11477]where the satellite eecurtty rorces may be unable to keep order,
[11478]close cooperation vill be even sore desiratle.
[11480]3. Copsidereation could be giveo to having RFE allot Radio
[11481]Liberation regular time on its proacceants to Poland and bulgaria
[11482]vhere there are large corsestrations of Sovi-t troops 60 that Radio
[11483]Liberation can further build up tre idea or o free, soviet anti-
[11484]Communist moral and political authority asi to ezpress the solidar-
[11485]ity of the Soviet peoples with th: o1pressed countries af Central
[11486]and Eastern Europe. Ratio Liberation could also ailot regular tine

[11667]@ ¢ dD. Jackson! a proposal to send food to East b Oormany
[11668]via ballovn.
[11670]b. C.D. Jackson's proposal for a monument nonotiad to be.
[11671]put up near the Brandenbury dato. I isould lite to comment on
[11672]those two propoesls for what uso Lt may ba to you,
[11674]2. It seaw to mo food shionent via balloon dea meaningless
[11675]gesture. It till not do any positive ood beeausa it ean't yet enough
[11676]. £ood inte Enact Gormany to make any Bfferarce, Thug a negative result:
[11677]- de fostered; it looks and appears to be psyenoloyical warfare of a
[11678]rather obvious icind. The food offers by the U. &. Jovernmant and
[11679]‘those by the ICFTU wore, as the London Mos pointed out last XM
[11680]vo. psychological victories, but. the Russians are now moving food into”
[11681]Germany in far greater quantities than we can do via balloon. In
[11682]addition, there. are obvious dangers from tis standpoint of a BY play-
[11683]back.ao Mr. Wisner suggested, It would bo mach easier and much more
[11684]. effective for tho Russians to use the Bi theses on balloon shipments
[11685]than on any quantities of food that tho Government or tho ICFTU are
[11686].. Betually able to get behind the Iron Curtain. In sun, balloons aro |
[11687]' & trick and food deesn't lend itself to tricks.
[11689]3. ZI thiny the monument idea is a ressectable one but not on
[11691]the level that the P35 people seem to vant to play it. They have in
[11692]mind a world campaign to be conducted in o11 countries, particularly
[11693]in this one and in South Ameriea with a distinguished body of citiseng
[11694]to lead the campaiyn here. I do not think the memorial idea ia bly |
[11696]*  gnough for that (the best mesorial- co far erected was Berlin's own
[11697]decision to change tho nane of the Unterlindsn to Strasse June 17).
[11698]I think the masorial idea ought to be left to the Germans. We can
[11699]dolicately cug:ost 1t and eee that it ie followed up with any support .
[11700]necessary in this country through already existing orgauiaations such as
[11701]NC¥i.or the Crusade for Freedom if this is Pecossary. Those Should play —

[13369]SUBJECT: Mr, Kenneth Desn Koch
[13371]1.° In Jamery of this year I dircussed with your office the
[13372]retenticn of Kenneth Dean. Kech in Berlin eas RFE representative,
[13373]due to his oxtonsive ueofvulness to FI in Berlin, providing PI
[13374]with cover facilities; leads, general services and working very ™
[13375]patisfactorily in supporting the FI mission in Berlin, At that
[13376]time I ves assured by IC that they would do everything possible
[13377]to retain Mr. Koch in Berlin as the RFE representative. In May
[13378]of this yoar I had cecasion to visit Bob lang in New York on
[13379]another matter and T-avain touched upen Mr, Koch's assignment in
[13380]Berlin, at which tine My, lang assured we thet no changes vould
[13381]be made in Koch's aasignment in Berlin vithout prior clearance _
[13382]with me. He also emphasized that no man vould ba sent to Berlin
[13383]Who did -not-meet with our comlete approval, In the morntima,
[13384]Koch was sent to Israel to set up the RFE office but eeeningly
[13385]met with opposition on the part of Ierae) authorities and hag
[13387]John Elliott has takon cver the KFE office da Berlin and there
[13388],b8en0 to be no attem:t to make any concessicna to FI wishes in
[13389]Berlin, . .
[13391]2. We fird this solution an extremely unautisfactory one.
[13392]Eliott, by background, general character, and atility, ia not
[13393]69 useful to FI in berlin ep..Kooh was end I seriously doubt thet
[13394]RFE vould find him aa eatisfactory as Kuch in standard RFE businegs,
[13395]I knsy Elliott vhen ‘he wag a n@wsraper man, end I have checked with
[13396]Beveral of his fcrmer colleagues vio agree that he does not have
[13397]any of the hard-hitting qualities sc desireble for an RFE repre=
[13398]sentative in Berlin, This is not an attempt to belittle hia.
[13399]ability 69 a journalist but the job in Berlin is very much more
[13400]than that, In shert, I would arrreciate your cffice ‘taking steps

[14379]Memorandum for the Kecord
[14381]Subject: | Conversation with Congressman Keroten
[14383]lL. On 6 May Congressman Kersten addressed a letter t> the
[14384]State Department, enclosing a letter dated 6 May 1953, which he had
[14385]received from Mr, Creighton Scott, a former employee of Radio Free -
[14386]Europe at Munich, Germany, This letter was highly critical of cers
[14387]tain personnel in RI, particularly as regards allegations of pro-com-
[14388]munist attitudes. On 6 July [ discussed these criticisms with Congress.
[14389]man Kersten in detail, conveying to him orally the material contained —
[14390]in the memorandum of 17 June 1953 Crom the Director of Security; Subject: ©
[14391]Inquiry by Congressman Keraten; which the Director of Security had noted
[14392]Should be ulllized in this meeting with Congressman Kersten, a
[14394]2. The Congreseman noted the difficulty in evaluating the type of
[14396]criticisms which Mr. Scott had made but appeared willing to accept our
[14398]explanation,
[14400]3. Congressman \adaten then. turned to certain criticisins which
[14401]he had heard expressed regarding RFE from several scurces, including
[14402]Scvtt, One such criti¢ism is that RFE is nd doing the best :t should on
[14403]He feels that this aspect uf the bruadcasis could
[14405]probably be considerably strengthened, particularly among Catholic
[14407]elementa,
[14409]4. Mr. Kersien cited the opinion of Count Tarnowski (sp. 7), -a well
[14410]known Pole, who told the Congressman that any fourteen year old Soviet
[14411]citizen would be s> well briefed on Sovict philosophy us to tara up their
[14412]nosea at the RFE material. The Count (and Sersten appears (> agree)
[14413]feels that the Soviet population has more sophisticated philosophical
[14414]material thrown at them by their own Government, ond that it should be an.
[14415]important function of RFE to counter with an atlermpt ta destray the Soviet
[14416]philosophical material and shake the Soviet faith in their theoreticians, :
[14418]5. Congressman Kersten realized that it is difficult to capture a
[14419]wide audience with philosophical arguinents, but he .feet!s that if these
[14420]arguments reached a segment of important leaders behind the Iron Curtain,
[14421]it would help to destroy and counter the philosophica! teachings of Marx,
[14422]Lenin, etal. The Congressmen feels that many of our brd5adcasts deal
[14424]«with economic matters, and, while these are important, RFE should go.
[14429]14-0000
[14431]captive population are not interested in rightest movements, it is
[14433]teres pen goer ae g
[14435]deeper and hit harder on religion and philosophy,
[14437]6. While Cungresaman Kersten is-aware that many of the
[14439]his opinion that RFE cannot beat communiem with socialism. In
[14440]particular, he felt (and Scott bore this out in their conversation)
[14441]that we were making tus much uge of Czech socialists, and we wera
[14442]using soctalists from the Bence Givernment which had sought to |
[14443]compromise with the communists. While he recognizes the popu.
[14444]larity of Benes and Masary% in Czechia, he feels they are not ef-
[14445]fective in Slovakia, where there is a heavy Catholic pupulation,
[14447]7, Congressman Fersten plans to go to Eurupe, probably
[14448]in September. While he did nit say bu, I belicve he would welcome
[14449]an invitation tu visit RFE, Munich, Furthermore, as the author of
[14450]the Kersten Amendment end of several resolutions on the enslaved
[14451]peoples, at least one of which Thay receive Congressional approval
[14452]at thio session, congideratian right be given aa ty whether it would
[14453]be advisable to request the Congressman to utilize RFE facilities

[14532]1, I think a budget presentation before a mixed audience of PFC
[14533]rerioera and. directors or members of the Exemitive Committee of NCFZ

[15072]Ho. 26 Dear Adolf,
[15074]_then doos not reflect the disappointing results.
[15076]on the other,
[15078]April 1, 1953
[15080]A day cr two ‘vofore I sailed for Burope in Jamuary, 1953, I received
[15081]a-typed mamseript
[15083]; copy of tho "Progress Report on the College de 1'Zurope
[15084]_ Libre", which has now appeared in mimeographed form under date of February
[15086]27,1953, over the signaturus of Royall Tyler and Richard Sears!
[15088]I admit to considerable curiosity when this document appoared. In
[15089]the covering letter Royall Tyler morely statud, "It comes fram Dick Sears".
[15090]I rather wondered why thio report should be cemptled when it was| known I was
[15091]coming to burope presumably to examtne into conditions and it seemed to. me
[15092]immediately that this might.be a counter foil to what it was expected I
[15093]would find, In resly to a direct inquiry from re, Sears now states it was
[15094]‘prepared "to reinforce the German languago ur project by supplying informa.
[15095]tion that was apparently lacking.
[15097]At the risk of indfeating an overly suspicious temperament, which is
[15098]not charactoristic of mo, I feel that this. report over-simplifies!a complex
[15100]. Bituatio:. It emtedies a point of view that the operation at Strasbourg
[15102]4s proceeding smeothly and successfully, hich it is not. It assums that a
[15103]paper plan (for the National Seminars) is in full and healthy bloom, which is
[15105]_hot the casa. I have stated so frequently (alrost ad nauseam) that you must
[15106]live in this frustrating atmosphere for a while.bafare you can understand what
[15107]conditions ara,
[15109]Reyall Tyler and Sears have never had that experiance and.
[15110]formed their opirions from what they have been told by Davis, Galy, Straka,
[15111]and Donzelot. The latter in turn was constantly fed information by Galy and
[15112]Straka, and altogether has spent only thrde or four days on the ground
[15114]be)
[15115]ae . . .
[15116]has had mumerous: talks in Paris with Galy and soma.af: the tutors. :
[15118]So, while the factual material in this report can not be questi onéd
[15119]—— I mean the statistics and the historical portions — the interpretation of
[15120]This pertains to the work
[15122]of the Committee on Awards on the one hand and the actual operationjat Roberts
[15124]When I asked Sears-hew widely this report hed been distributed he told

[18340]couple of days ago and walch: I quote a2 follows: , :
[18342]"On danuary 14, Alexander Booker of the German Foreign Office.
[18343]infgvonally brought to our attention a map of Eastern Europe
[18344]whien apveared in the fecember tasue of "News from Behind the
[18345]Ira: Curtain", a zonthly periodieal published by the "National
[18346]Comz.t tee for a Freo Europe", Tnis map which ig showm in- 1
[18347]smsit} seale on pace 1 of thle periodical, shows oll of Eastern
[18348]Gernasy, including East Pruseia, tha Satellite States, and the
[18349]former Baltic States. In the case of the former German terri-
[18350]tories east of the Wder-Heisse line, tie area io simply shown
[18351]as telonging to Poland, and ita sre-war borders are not sot
[18352]off by a dotted line. With reazect to Poland, Csechoslovakia
[18353]and icmania, however, the territcrios that were annexed by
[18354]the Soviet Union during or after iorld War IT ara clearly
[18356]. marked Sy a dotted lins. Furthermore, the Eastern Zone of
[18357]Germacy aa well as Zast Prussia are enown in the samo colors
[18358]as t22 Soviet Union, whereas the Paitic and Satellite States
[18360]are stom in white.
[18362]FAltmouzh Booker admitted that tha man itself was not of great
[18363]whance. he sovertheleas pointed out that it represents —
[18365]: fo ta tyzical oxampla of the one-sided anti-German propaganda‘
[18367]po put 22% not only by the National Cozmittes for a Free Europe
[18369]i : but also by Hacio ¥ree Europe. Suer propaganda, he said, can
[18371]. only increase the misyivings whien many Germans, particularly
[18373]/ | the rarugees, alreacy entertain with respect to the activities
[18375]poe _ of «ta committee and on: the eperations.of Radio Free Europe on
[18377]ot . Germs soll. Finally, Booker politely ninted that the German .
[18378]Goversment would welcome it if the U. S. High Commission would | .
[18379]use its influence with the National Committee for a Free Europe
[18381]' to step dissemination of such anti~Jerman propaganda in the -
[18382]fervcse. =A more constructive and objective propazanda policy

[18402]Tho articlo on mste for the masses and the general axmge of
[18403]the attack on the arts is particuiariy elunifieant, £ think. Until

[18405]Soviet activity in siiich they ware wsinerablo before neutralista and-
[18406]fellov-travalorsa everywhere. The texiancy of the intellectual to:

[19949]recomended by ir. Ortona of the ItalLan Embassy.
[19951]le Attached hereto is a letter from Egidio Ortona of the Italian
[19952]Embassy, who is receasending for our consideration the aboveenazed —
[19953]individual who is said to be the son of br. Arthur Halxner, foruerly
[19954]‘the Minister Plenipotentiary of Czechoslovakia to the Vatican. Also
[19955]attached 19 a brief curriculum vitas of Maixner.s
[19957]2, It is rather wusual for a forelgn diplomat, even though he-
[19958]be on good terma with officials of this Agency, to recomend personnel
[19959]to us for our use, end uncer the circuustances I d¢o not suppose that
[19960]there vould be acy,.vay in which you could maxe secure use of this
[19961]young man even if you ware to find him in other respects suitable. In
[19962]other words, he 1s "blow" by thé. very fact of hia having been recon-
[19963]mended .to us by a foreign diplomat,. And I am also aware of the fact
[19964]that thia would be a zood cheap way of effecting penetrations of the
[19965]Agency were we to foliow the practice of acting favorably on recan-
[19966]mendations of this character, Nevertheless, there may Le sone aspect
[19967]of this matter which would have siznificance to you or to Mr. Tian
[19968]which I do not readily perceive, and accordingly I an passing this
[19970]- onto you and to Mr. Tima with thiz thought in nind, For exaaple,
[19972]there is a bare nossibility that t:cause of the contacts and cannet~
[19973]tions of Nailmer and his f.ther, a former Czech diplomat, it might be
[19974]possible to aake uge of him (on an ara 's*length basis) in a prograa
[19975]of defector solicitation, .
[19977]3. I an also furnishing a copy of this memorandum to Hr. praden
[19979]in view of the possibility that Haixner might be of same use to Radio
[19981]Free Europe, assuming that the objection of his having beer introduced
[19982]to this Agency by Ortona covla be overcOne.
[19984]“he. In any case, I shoulc arpreciate. your sugvesting a suitable
[19985]reply to Mr. Ortona, bearing in mind tie fact. that he has-been helpful
[19987]7 us in the past and does seem to be well disposed.

[20526]. Inadvertently, through mistakes of the staff andthe failure to adequately:
[20527]‘trief community leaders, the Crusade mistakenly implied that the Voice of

[20530]radio broadcasting station, could do an effeotive job.

[20822]America witil- 15 January to contlude its negotiations wita the Tur«ish
[20824]“Government. These negotiations appear ta be leading nowhere and, on
