[946]MFMORARDUM FORs Deouty Director of Central Intelligence
[947]“ous Bet ; Crusade for Freedom and National Infomation Bureau
[949]1. On January 10th I called your attention to the fact that
[950]the Natlonal Infomation Pureau, a reputable investigation agency
[951]which condvets inquiries {nto ciaritatle organizations and advises
[952]large donors, had given an adverse recomacndation on the Crusade
[953]-for Freedom (see Attachnent 1). Tals catier has now risen again.
[954]It may be that £t wuld be ulse to undertake a high-level approach
[955]to the Bureau throug: yourself or General Smith, for tho following
[957]Teasons .
[959]fye,
[961]According to an asreamont with us and with the State
[962]Department at our recent mcetings, Crusade for Freedom will bank
[963]heavily this yoar on donations fron corporations. They rave now
[964]discovered that these corporations rcly to a vreat extent on the
[965]National Information Durcauts acvice. Several corporations have
[966]indicated thu:, according to their practice, they cannot give to
[967]the Crusade unless it has the tlessing of the Eureau, and you will
[968]note in Attachment 2 that one vuca corporation <- Barnes Nanufactur-
[969]ing Company of Mansfield, 9hio = has written to the Crusade citing
[971]its doubt.
[973]2. Meantime, members of the Crusade nave mac conversations
[974]with PD. raul Heed, Fxecutive Director of tne National Information
[975]Bureau (see Attachment 3) and he as insisted that ae cannot report
[976]that the Crusade 1a3 cat the basic standards in pailanthropy until
[977]hig Standards 7 and ® are met. Tuese are the suilication of an
[978]annual aucit and of a dctatied annual budget, the prime rejuircoment
[979]being the disclosure of totals.
[981]3. You nay want to read tls Attachment 3 with care but I
[982]cannot myself see any manner in waic? we can meet these standards.
[983]Tierafore, I believe that it may be necessary to make the ap-roach
[984]to the National [Infomation Kurean descrited above.

[1312]HORVAT, Pavle
[1314]Ss Pavle Horvat is of Slovenian orifin, about 50 years old and was
[1315][ born in the Priekija district near the Huncarian border (formerly a —
[1316]> part of. the Austro-Hungarian monarchy).
[1318]Horvat became known durin: the thirties throush his numerous
[1319]MS . manifestos and posters by which he attempted to organize his own .
[1320]° political movement. This “moverent" was labeled various names at
[1321]ue : different times, At one time it was simrly referred to as a "peasant
[1322]movement,” at another time as the "Slovenia Secticn of the Croatian
[1323]. Peasant Party," and still later as an "inderendent Slovenian peasant
[1324]ra riovement." he never had, however, any following and never set up his
[1325]‘ own electoral lists. On the other hand, it is true, that the Croat
[1326]Peasant Party of Dr. “acek considered him as one of its trustees in
[1328]Slovenia for a short period.
[1330]He earned his living as a farmer. He also had a small village
[1331]-erocery shop and occupied himself in his district with "interventions,*
[1332]that is, performing all types of secretarial services for the peasants
[1333]of the area, A:ong other thincs, he undertook to organize the
[1334]transportation of the seasonal. workers who went to France and
[1335]Germany during the harvestins months, He had difficulties with the
[1336]home authorities and police in this respect and had to ap-ear before
[1337]the courts on a number of occasions. .
[1339]At the beginning of the wor he fled to Sacreb, Croatia, at that
[1340]time the Independent Croat State (Nazi purpet recime) of Dr, Pavelic.
[1341]There he set uv a smal] office for the relief of Slovenian refugees
[1342]but it never reached any large rroportions. He was not connected
[1343]with the Refucee Committee which handled the main relief work (Cne
[1344]source cointed out that the mere fact that he xvas able to establish
[1345]an office and function i:. Zagreb during the period meant that he was
[1346]at least passively acceptable to the Nazi regime. .
[1348]As far back as 1935 he is !mown to hve misrepresented himseif
[1349]as a "peasant leader,"
[1351]After the war Favle Horvat fled to Austria where he a-ain claimed
[1352]to be a Slovenian peasant leader and atterpted to whip up propaganda
[1353]for the. creation of a srecial "peasant group,” among the Slovenian
[1354]refuzees; he failed comleteiy. He was uncble to find follovers in
[1355]a single carr to form such a group, and the refugees refused to attend
[1356]his meetings. In addition he is known to have boasted that he was
[1357]acting on behalf of Hr. hacek and the Interrstional Peasant Union,
[1358]though he was mancated by neither. The Allied authorities were
[1359]finally forced to intervene ard brin, a stop to his activities since
[1360]they were causing discontent among the refugees and disorders in the
[1362]DP campse.
[1364]14-0000
[1366]cer REET IR I LE TE,
[1368]. In July 1949, Horvat wrote the Honorable Josech C, Grew in care.
[1369]of the National Committee for a Free Europe introducing himself as
[1370]the Representative of the Democratic Slovenes and President of the
[1371]Interrational Peasant Union for Eurore, and suc-esting that he join
[1372]forces vith the Comnittee in the common strucvle against Communism.
[1374]“In return for a trip to the United States he offered to bring a
[1376]large confidential report on his activities to date and present a
[1377]scheme for successfully sunpressing cozriunism and delivering the
[1378]subsugated nations in the shortest possible time. He was informed
[1379]that the Fund was confining its activities to refugee leaders already
[1380]regiding in the United States and that the prorosed visit was ~
[1382]impogsible at that time.
[1383]Horvat has recently announced his forthcoming arrival in the
[1385]> United states, Several Slovenian and Croatian newspapers in this
[1386]country have received articles (which he wrote himself) glorifying
[1388]hig past and present activities, None of them, so far, have taken any
[1389]notice of these articles with the excertion of the Croat separatist
[1390](pro-ustashi) paper, "DANICA," published in Chiceyo. Supposedly
[1392]Dr. “«acek was highly amused on reading the article describing the
[1393]great "Slovene peasant leader,”
[1395]Nobody in Slovenia in pre-war days would have considered Favel
[1396]Hervat as a person to be taken seriously in public life. He is
[1397]considered by a number of sources a political impostor and as
[1398]personally unethical, Neither the International Peasant Union for
[1399]Europe, of which he claimed to be president, nor the Denocratic
[1400]Slovenes, of which he is a repres ntative, is considered a leritimate
[1401]organization. The Director of the Fund's Yugoslavian Research and
[1402]Informaticn Desk was the editor of a daily paper in Slovenian for
[1403]eleven years before the war, He never met iiorvath, seldom heard of
[1404]him and his pcper, as far as he knew, never took notice of him or his
[1406]activities,

[2102]“SUBIECTs Connittee for Kussian Liberation
[2104]1. I called Bob Joyce in the State Department yesterday
[2105]and asked him whether in nis view the State Departnent would
[2106]object,.to placing the new Committee for Russian Liberation under
[2107]the Crusade for freedom. I mentioned particularly a possible
[2108]caveat of the State Department -- that wo mignt be expanding the
[2109]Crusade at the very time we aad agreed at a series of meetings -
[2110]held recently that we would cut down its activities.
[2112]2. Joyce said that the azreenent with State was as to
[2113]method and scope of Crusade publicity and activity and that the
[2114]addition of the new Comittee under Crusade cover would not by
[2115]any means‘abrogate this agreement. ie said that we could so
[2116]ahead and count upon the State Department's approval. I asked”
[2117]him whether he would like a menorandun to this effect or whether
[2118]he would like to consult otmers in the State Department and he
[2119]scald no, that this was unnecessary, that we snould go ahead.

[2525]MEMORANDUM FOR: ASSISTANT DIRECTOR FOR POLICY COORDINATION
[2526]- ~SUSJECTs NCFE
[2528]1. For quite some time the staf! ofticere of this divieion concerned
[2529]with utilising the facilities of the NC:2 and with-exploiting the
[2530]Alvdanian, Bulgarian, and Ruwanian emigrations have been sware of a lack
[2531]of adequate coordination batweon our om activities and those of the a
[2532]NCFE starf, in confunction with thoge r¥ Tivision officers responsible
[2533]for handling our relations with that organisation, ve have atteapted
[2534]to axplore the problem in order to find a solution which could be
[2535]considered realistic and practical.
[2537]ca
[2539]2. The difficulty lies not only 1” the communication system between
[2540]OPC and NCFE, which does not alwaye tranemit, at exactly the right time,
[2541]the right ideas from cne organisation to the proper individuals at the
[2542]right level .n the other. Althowsh we havs maintained very. close contact
[2543], both informally and through formal channels, only too often we have not
[2544]been in a position to learn why NCE staff officers have made a givon decis~ :
[2545]fon in regard to some emigre organisation in whieh wa had an interest; and :
[2546]on the other hand, cur desires and needs have not always been fully under- S
[2547]stood or accepted in New York. Again, it has happened that we were '
[2548]ignorant of developments that closely affected ovr operations until it
[2549]was too late for us to maxe o.r influence felt, and, correspondingly,
[2550]- it must be admitted that we have ourselves pushed ahead with courses of
[2551]action without adequately brieting the NCFL, The most extreme case in
[2552]point known to us concerns the Rumanian enigration, where we and NCFE
[2553]are now pursuing conilicting policies. ‘dhe upshot of this has been the
[2554]gradual development of a situation wherein Orc is supporting an organisa-
[2555]tion, the NCtz, which is'not fully responsive to it.
[2557]3. This situation is not regarded by us as reflecting any fundamental ,
[2558]inadequacy in NCFc, or as ;resanting any insoluable difficulty. There \
[2559]exists a problem in staff interrelationship which ean and should be
[2560]resolved by a reform in our organigational ap roach, The goal toward which
[2561]we believe ve should work is one where OrC communication with KCIE would
[2562]ve channelled directly along a single high-level line which wo.ld firmly '
[2563]tie in AirC's office with thit of the head of the other organisation, .
[2565]deas, suggestions, information, atc. would flow, in the rzgular channels,
[2566]up fron the OFC working level to ATPC's office for review an: transmission
[2567]to the top office of NC*s, and flow down from there through Yo¥5's usual :
[2568]channels t> the proper individuals in its.operational machinery. /‘rersonal
[2569]contacts between individcals at a lower level in the two organisations _
[2570]would frecuently occur to supplement this casual crannel, when security ‘ -
[2571]permitted, but should be in the hands of responsible personnel who
[2572]understand the OPC policies involved.

[2597]. the establishment of thia post, with a suitable individual assigned to the
[2598]7 2JOd, would imnediately correct most of the present difficulties, and would
[2599]i provide the necessary machinery within which a fully satisfactory relatione

[2716]Tho National Councils Division of the National Comittee for a
[2717]Free Lurope was created on 3 April 1°50 by resolution sf tre Loard of
[2718]; Directors, The underlying principle, as stated in the Declaration of
[2720]Policy in June 1950, was to aid the "non-Fascist and non—Comunist
[2722]: leaders in thoir peaceful efforts to prepare the way to.erd the
[2723]: restoration in Eastorn Enropo of the social, politicel and religious
[2724]i libertios in which they and we believe." The councitla were to function
[2725]: as "sepresentative, harmonious and effective grouss" and, as such, to
[2726]play a part in the strurgle against Canmniss in Lastern iurope., They
[2727]i were not to be consideral as governments in extle nor as exis in then=

[2731]National Committees and Panels,® as supparted by MCFE, were to
[2732]fulfill a two-fold function: as 1) gvert instruients, they wera to

[2734]a reservoir of "name manpower for propacanda use, ¢) surprly general

[2736]Specific intellirence with respect to hoceland activities and personal-
[2737]ities. as 2) covert instruncnts, they were to serve as a cover for

[2778]contriLuting factor, it ia one waich chould be exjante: in any dealings
[2779]with leaders reared in tho intricacics of Lalkan politics. 4 more
[2780]important end far more Laric ceuss for the prevest e: 2o ines of the
[2781]national councils has been ClA's failure to provite cz .inuing policy
[2782]guidance to, and appropriate control over, the Lzecuttve Donrittee of

[2789]At present a-situation exists in which there izs

[2837]Corfronte1 with the situation skotched above, it would azpear that
[2838]dncofar ae CIA is concezres, the following alternative courecs of action
[2839]are poseitles 1) Keep the present set-up; 2) withdraw support from
[2840]emi:re affaire; 3) ask the Departzent of State to take overs; or 4) maka
[2842]certain changes along iincs recormended below.

[3603]DRAFT s TELEGHAY FROM’ THE HONCHABLE JOSEPH C. Gik®
[3604]TO CONGHECSMAN Oo Ke ARMSTRONG.
[3606]I keenly regret to inform you that, upon further reflection and
[3607]apon the basis of information which has recently come to my attention,
[3608]l consider it inpdvisable for ww ito addresa your Psycholoyical Stratezy
[3609]Conference, and that I find it necesssry to ask you to release me frox
[3610]speaking at your meeting on Saturday. ‘When I was first asked to speax
[3611]about the significance of ational Comittee for a Free Europe and the
[3612]activities of: ltadto Free Europe, Jf: understood that the Conference world
[3613]discuss propaganda and peychological warfare, I wagphe from the relesee Ae
[3614]issued by your o fice, that amony tle purposes of the conference nre the
[3615]presentation of definite plans of action to increase resistance movesstrte,
[3616]and to aid the peoples of the Soviet nation and the Satellite States te
[3617]overthrow their regimes, .as well as to eetablish a continuing orgariz3ticn
[3618]to carry out. the progrems developed at the conference, This release also
[3619]indicates that there will be full and cperi discussion of euch matters and
[3620]that persons purporting to represent underground movements in Poland, the
[3621]Baltic States, Russia, Chins, Kore, etcs, will take part in discussions.
[3623]It is my personal view that it world be unwise to discusssustters of -
[3624]this sensitive and provocative character in open meetings, particularly
[3625]where programs of specific action are considered. It seems to m that
[3626]public duscussione of such nattere end revelations of plans and prograss
[3628]‘ would not only expose snd thus jeopardize the existence of any r€lrgtznce.
[3630]movements which may be identified and described, a3 well as the Iivee oF
[3632]the people participatin,, brt would slco provide quantities of adverac
[3633]prenaganda material for use by Soviet and satellite propaganda m chines.
[3635]It i8 my conclusion that ry position and responsibilities sc Chairain cf
[3637]the National Comittee for a Free Europe axe it inappropriate for me to
[3638]speak befcre or lend my name to such 4 gethering because of tne si gnifi-g

[3728]THE “VOICE” AND RADIO FREE EUROPE
[3729]COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER
[3731]Both Are Indispensable |
[3733]1 .
[3735]“What's the difference berween the Voice of America and Radio Free Europe?” “Why
[3736]is it necessary to liave buth the Voice and Radio Free Europe?” These are frequent questions
[3737]asked of General Clay and the other leaders of the Crusade for Freedom.
[3739]The Voice and Radio Free Europe are both vitally needed if we are to win the
[3740]Cold War. .
[3742]They are completely separate organizations. Each performs a distinct function in the fight
[3743]against the gigantic Soviet propaganda machine. .
[3745]The Voice speaks with the authority of the U. S. Government. It is financed by Govern-
[3746]ment funds.
[3748]Radio Free Europe was set up by private citizens. Ic is financed by millions of individual
[3749]concributions co the Crusade for Freedom.
[3751]Voice is World Wide
[3753]The Voice is a worldwide network, broadcasting in 46 languages over 75 transmitters. ft
[3754]is the only American voice heard in the Soviet Union. Its 120 individual daily programs of
[3755]news, music, roundtables, commentaries, documentaries, service programs, etc., have a potential
[3756]audience of 300,000,000 listeners. - , .
[3758]Radio Free Europe is much smaller. It concentrates on the captive countries behind the
[3759]Iron Curtain: Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Rumania, Bulgaria and Albania. Its cransmit-
[3760]ters are in Western Europe.
[3762]The Voice speaks for the American people, spreading the truth about democracy, giving a
[3763]true picture of. life in the United States, and spiking Moscow's lies about us, Ir reperts in full
[3764]on ofhcial American acts and documents, presents news and world developments from our
[3765]poinc of view.
[3767]Buc Voice is nor limited co Government pronouncements; it regularly reflects American
[3768]opinion as expressed in our press and radio. Ina friendly way—with programs of informa-
[3769]tion and service—ie promotes a better understanding of the United States in Europe, in Latin
[3770]America, the Far East and the Near Ease. :

[3817]L Exiles Speak Over RFE
[3819]Radio Free: Europe, on the other hand, does nut portray America. It concentrates largely
[3820]on what is taking place within the slave. countries. Over its transmitters Poles speak to Poles,
[3821]Hungarians to Hungarians, etc. They speak'as “the voice of Free Poland,” “the voice of Free
[3822]Hungary.” etc. They look at theie people's problems through their own eyes. :
[3824]“ RFE programs specialize in identifying and denouncing Communist informers and collab-
[3825]orators, sending back messages from escapees, and exposirig the corruption and crimes within
[3826]the Red regimes.
[3828]In their broadcasts to behind the Iron Curtain, the Voice and-Radio Free Europe have ¢s-
[3829]sentially the same aims: co keep alive the hope of liberation; to let listeners know that they
[3830]have not been forgotten; to stitfen their resistance against their Communist oppressors; to ex:
[3831]pose che fraudulenc basis of authority upon which the Mascow-dominated regimes rest.
[3833]Both combat Communism and the persecution of religion and denial of human rights.
[3834]Both report the superior industrial power and fighting potential of che free world over the ; ,
[3835]Sovier-enslaved world. ‘ 3
[3837]‘ ; 1951 Year of Progress for “Voice”
[3839]D uring the past year the Voice of America:
[3840]1. Stepped up daily programming from 30 to 50 hours daily. i
[3841]2. Made progress in overcoming Soviet jamming. ,
[3842]. 3. Increased its broadcasts to behind the Iron Curtain, adding the “splincer” languages of
[3843]; Georgian, Armenian, Azerbaijani, Tatar, Turkestani, Latvian, Lithuanian and Estonian. |
[3845]4. Inaugurated programs to Albania, Finland, Israel and Portugal in their respective languages; '
[3847]: to China in two additional dialects, Swatow and Amoy; to Japan and South and Southease .
[3849]‘ Asia in Hindi, Urdu, Thai, Burmese and Malayan.
[3851]5. Became more outspoken and hard-hitting. One of the principal chemes was the support of
[3852]the UN effort to ‘repel the Chinese and North Korean Communist aggression in Korea.
[3853]Major attention was given to exposing the fraudulent Soviet “peace” drive.
[3855]6. Began work on che “Ring Plan” approved by Congress, which calls for a network of power-
[3856]ful relay bases girdling the globe.
[3858]7. Created * “Vagabond” '—a ship equipped with a transmitter, so chat radio broadcasts may
[3859]be relayed from shipboard.
[3861]8. Received 318,000 lerrers from overseas lisreners—an increase of 354; over 1950.
[3863]9. Need'ed the Communists so successfully char Radio Moscow and Soviet regional stations

[4366]9. The undersigned would Like to point out that none of the three
[4367]outgoing cables (NUT 920, Olt 97623, <7T 730339) quoted above, wore
[4368]ecordinated with the Psycholorical Cta’f fivision who have the primary

[4370]about the docision to suspend on  Janaary 1952, we would have been able
[4371]to advise FFE in Mew York in plenty of Line to call off the operation.
[4372]In this connection, a subsequent message from Kunioh states that RFF
[4373]does not consider that thair overscas staff is subject to commands of
[4374]OPO stations, the command channel reaming only Cres NCfE New York.
[4376]10, Dn/rts menorandua of 16 Jansary 1957 on thia subject refers to
[4377]the Director's recoanendation that FF? be prepared to play thia these
[4378]either way, tacing credit for etther having provented the reform by
[4379]premature exposure if nothing fa dene, or having warned the pevple in

[4562]briefly last week. :
[4564]. For some months psst both the officers end directors of the
[4566]‘ NCFE have been ccncerned ss to what protective steps could be taken
[4567]in behalf of foreign naticnsls working for Radio Free Furope in
[4568]Germany under conditions which might arise in certain eventuslities,.
[4570]I attach copy of s letter becring on this matter which was
[4571]written by Lung to Gates Lloyd on November 5, 1951. It gives a
[4572]concise cutline of the problem and suggests a solution cf the sme.
[4573]To date, es fer as I know, we have not been able to secure eny
[4574]assurances that. this is being taken care of. If, us we have been
[4575]informed, the Army suthoritigs in Germany are willing to help uvon
[4576]receiving clearance from the Department of Defense, we feel every
[4577]effort should be made ta implement this promptly.

[4656]from the Dezertmert of Defense in Washingtcn to the effect that the
[4657]RFE steff isto be considered a "war asset" und given e high prierity

[4956]MENORANDUN OF OOUVFRSATION
[4958]Present were Messrs. Jackson and Washburn of HCFE, Keaurs. Barrett,
[4959]dJoyee, Devine, Sargeant and kohler froa State, avi Messrs. Dulloa,
[4960]Wisner, Liayd and Braden from CIA. ‘The neeting vas held in
[4962]Kr. Barrett's office on 17 January at k:30 pa.
[4964]ONCUSON: That the Crusade for Freedom organization should continue.
[4966]The Mllowing is a transcript of Mr. Braden's notes of the
[4967]meoting.
[4969]C. D. led off, odnitting the frustrations that a long caspaign
[4970]on the Crusades for Preedon caused to the State Department and sug-
[4971]gested the following progran:
[4973]1. A ledsy bell-ringing campaign in ail cities.
[4974]2. Direct mail to corporations.
[4976]At this point, Nr. bachturn interjected to say that he wuld need
[4977]about two weeks of "Low drums" promotion before te ieday caupaign.
[4978]Jackson went on to say that ‘under such a schare there would be no
[4979]time on tho part of the chaizmman for a bulld-up of invidious eapari-
[4980]sons in the orese. At Jackson's request, Hr. kashburn passed around
[4981]a Crusade publication entitled "Tne Volos of amarica - 1951 = A lear
[4982]of Frogreas". Tnis brochure, wiich in four paces ;Praisce hignly the
[4983]work of tie Voice of Anoriea, is to ba nalied ty tne Crusade to (ts
[4984]enief contritutora.
[4986]Hr. Barrett then mada the following points:
[4988]1. Tho National Caasttee for a Free Europe grew out of the
[4989]idea of helping refugoes and of giving then a volee. It has changed
[4990]aver the years to a huge operation wita many now ideas, end the
[4991]Crusado for Freedom camo along ag a cover necesal ty.
[4993]2. He asked unsther the denando of fanderalsing had not begun
[4994]to make less effective the primary Job of holring refugees, whethor

[5004]2
[5006]tho tail -- Crusade for Freedom e« is not wagiing the dog. He
[5007]renarkod that in a conversation with Ainan Valontine ho had found
[5008]that Valentine ie inclined to agree with hin,
[5010]3. Against Mr. Waciburm and the Crusade for Freedom, he had
[5011]only ono complaint, They were too good, too big-time. They made
[5012]wuch an effective appeal taat the recipients could not avoid running
[5013]down the competitor. Ho stated ag iis opinion tiat the Crusade was
[5014]jeopardizing a muiti-million dollar operation <- the Voleoo of Amorios ==
[5015]and might even be Jespariicing anotier multi-miltion dollar operatian <<
[5016]Radig Free Rurope -- for the sake of raising three million dollars.
[5018]kh. {le thought balloons ond some other operations done by the
[5019]Comittee wero beat done by private meni.
[5021]§. Ho leaned toward going back to the beginning and looking
[5022]at the Crusade as purely a cover oporation and mt an attempt to . 1
[5023]raise large funda and making a lot of hoopla. He sugzeuted that the .
[5024]Crusade siould raise only enough money and make only enough of a
[5025]ompaign to provide a dignified cover. Ho suggosted mail colicita-
[5026]tion, mazasine advertisements, tho publicising of two or three largo
[5027]anonymous gifts, all without hign-prosoure. Then he said, “Let's
[5028]get on with the main Job of radio and refugees.”
[5030]Mr. Dulles asked whether this danger to the Volco wap so great.
[5031]"Didn't you get more money tais year’® Sarrett's answar was "Ho"
[5032]and he pointed out that there was no damage done to the Voice by tha
[5033]Crusede tris year insofar.as fimds ware concerned but ne feared the
[5034]future. Dulles asked waethor wo couldn't work out the tining of the
[5035]Crusade so that thare wuld be no interferences on tho hill. Hr. Barrett
[5036]did not directly answer the questian. ile sald the cover waa bad. Too
[5037]many people already lmow the truti: sbdout tho Crusade and he is worried
[5038]about it. He sald it surprised sin that it worried nia more than it
[5039]vorrioed Mr. Dullea. A large campaign raises tha question, he said.
[5040]Of bow all the work 15 done on suca a small amount of money. Ha
[5041]thought the Crusade called attention to itself os cover.
[5043]Howland Sargeant asked Jackson to mawer this question, ")f
[5044]Wiet various uses are the Crusade?" Jackson listed then as follows:
[5046]‘ 1. Cover. He agreed with Hr. farrett that the Crusade both
[5047]inereased and decreased te security danger.
[5049]2. It brings in nonsy.
[5051]3. It edacatas and intorests izoricans in the whole prodles
[5052]of psychological warfare and propaganda and dose oo sore than any
[5053]thing else tuat is manaced ty tne Goverment or by private funds.
[5054]He thought this was greatly important and sald that al tacugh be
[5056]SECAE
[5058]14-0000
[5060]SECRET
[5064]realised that mistakes had beon made and the Crunado had eri ticlsed
[5065]the Voico, strdteically the Crusade muld be of enonmus help te
[5066]the Voice ly publicising the need for communtoating to pocple in
[5067]alavery. .
[5069]Sargpant thoucht point 3 was the most inportent. He asked wheather
[5070]the Cruasdo couldn't be ted in with tiie point. Jackson sald, "Yeo,
[5071]emi wo ory atarting with this lasue of the Cruseteor publiciaing the
[5072]Yoico." Washtumn sddeed that 25 million contritatora, counting this -
[5073]yearts and last yearta oontributions, may prevent cutting down the
[5074]operation as Farrett cugcesta. They will raise a lot of queations.
[5075]Barrott disagreed and repeated his sugcostion of a one-month eporation
[5076]confined to magasino adverticing and dirvet mail. Jackson askod about
[5077]the magazine acvertiaing. He said you had to write eopy for magazine
[5078]atvertiaing and tho copy would have te advertise Kadio Freo Europe.
[5079]Rarrett anewored, "You ean control the copy on macagine ata. There
[5080]is a lot of time allowed for going ovor thom carcfully bafore they got
[5081]into print.®
[5083]Wachturn repeated several tinos that it wuld te a creat shano to
[5084]Tet the Crusade go. Jackson said the Crusade gave a real lift to
[5085]exiles not only hero but abroad.
[5087]Rohler said he had deen thinking about tho prehlom and had te
[5088]sugzeations to mako:
[5090]1. Could wa oxhort people to give a collar t hactlo Preo Europe
[5091]and at the cma tine to write a lettor to thelr Ongresamen backing up
[5092]the Voloa of Arorloa? ,
[5094]2. Gould tho Radio Advisory thanittes of the Volos of Amorica
[5095]teen tp ttn the Crusade to help with general publicity?
[5097]Jackson enevered the first question "No". He thought that would bs
[5099]dangerous. To the sacand question, he sald "Yer®, Ne acain outlined
[5100]tio idea for a campaicn calling for education on @ genersl paycholegi-
[5101]eal warfare progren with o final request to contribute to the Crusade.
[5103]%. Dulles again acked Hr. Barrett about iis financial problexs
[5104]and the timing of his request to the hill. Barrett said he vould havo
[5105]the soot difficulty fron January to Jwiy. hashturn eaid, "Then we'll
[5106]won a osspaign in leptenbder only and there’1) be no hori-dlowing until
[5107]then.”
[5109]Dalles said that he thought tnat if the Crusade could be limited
[5110]to ieptenber he doubted that it would interfore wits =r. Barrett's
[5111]fmd-raising problemas. [hat, ocouled wita a better degree of coortdina-
[5112]tien, with the uso of Kr. Fouler's private advisers, and wits a great
[5113]affort on the part of the Crusade toward paycbological warfare education

[5129]with Mr. Dullos' view of the Crusade giving invisible cupport and
[5130]wondered whether wo could not xske the invidible aspects visible.
[5131]fie thought that to hold tho whole Crusade organization together for
[5132]a yoar merely to conduct a two-week cazpaign would waste many yood
[5133]ments time, Barrott agrecd that a twoeueck campaign wouldn't keep
[5134]the organisation alive. ‘
[5136]Sargeant asked Lf there wore not other ideas wie ould be fed
[5137]through the Crusade msacainery, thus aaking nora constructive uae of
[5139]it.
[5141]Farrett ralaed the question :2f internationalteing the Crusade
[5142]effort. Jackron replied that there was an abortive Frenen project
[5143]wnioh he thought would shortly fall flat on ito face. The Brition,
[5144]he thought, would zhortly make a final decision as to whethor to go
[5145]ahead wits an exile program or not. Ho seencd dublous that they
[5146]would decide to do o. He montianed Joan Paul David and i’alx ob
[5147]Liberte as the only foreign operation in this field which ha! any
[5148]epark to it. Barrett agrocd but askod whether or not some Furopeana
[5149]couldn't be put on the Hoard of Directors. Dulles replied that thie
[5150]was very difficult, tat thay couldn't attend meetings for one thing.
[5151]Parrott said, “Couldn't there be an annual mecting simply ao a front,
[5155]dackson said that NCFE did get tnvalved in European organisationo,
[5157]that they had close affiliations wit: tne Furopean hove.ent, with the
[5158]Pree Trade Union Comitteo in bxile, wth the Intornational Journalists,
[5159]wits Stranpbourg Univermty, and all tie radio progrmas were reaching
[5160]the point wnere thay were thought of ao prograss belonying to the people
[5161]t whom they wore broadcast. NCFS had, no toought, internationalised
[5163]a great deal and in a vary natural way. A board 9f foreign direators
[5164]would epoil that natural process by setting up an obvious puoney.
[5166]Washbum again raleed the anrunent of tining the caspaipn to take
[5167]place only in September. There was no direct msvonse te this sugses-
[5168]tlon.
[5170]Sargeant, referring again ty the uso of tho invislilo assets
[5171]mentioned by Dulles, tought that if tie Crusade cantinued it sould
[5172]be planned not primarily to raise funds sxcert as cover. Attention
[5173]should be focused on:
[5175]1. Ine development of understanding; tne battie for tne minds of
[5176]BBA. .
[5178]2. Two or three concryte tings whiica private cltisens could do
[5179]in this battle,

[5187]“Se
[5189]Tarrott took this up at ence and acntioned letter writing. Turning
[5191]tm bashtum he said, "Abtots, put your mind to work.” iis thought ww
[5192]snould be able to find soastuine. He ougveated we ask Washburn to
[5193]look into other projects lice the lotterswriting caupatim taat vao

[5211]Jackeon onco more attem-ted to get agrocaent of tie group on

[6664]Ata meeting a? the Executive Committee of the Board of N.C.F.F,
[6665]held on Jimury 3rd Lett, the nembers felt that tvo of the subjects
[6666]diecunsed at that tise should be called to your ettention 80 that you
[6667]might know the viewz of the Committee dn the event these mattcra wers
[6669]brought befors you 24 £ later date,

[6673]from McCluny end otzers in Amcomfrce, thut 1f mesna could be fourd to
[6674]do so, they be allowed to use some of the P.P.L. facilities in Gerneny
[6675]for certein of their troedcusts. Since this metter was not brought up
[6676]as a formal request, 20 action wae trken by the Comittee, but the in-
[6677]@ividual members unzsinously exprecsed the opinion thut this would be
[6678]moct inadviauble end tht they would be opposed to the use of R.F.F.
[6679]fecilities for thie garporse even if time and frecuencies wers aveil-
[6680]eble, which 1s not £* €11 certain. Since Ameomfrce is an orgrnizetion
[6681]in which you have direct interest 1t seems edvieable to acquaint you
[6682]with our feelinge <r. tse aatter should you or:your organization be
[6683]epproeched by McClucy or othera on this subject. Without going into
[6684]details at this time es to the reasons for our feeling. in tho matter,
[6685]our moin concern 13 tiet Amconfree's targets ore envirely different
[6686]from those in which ve are interested, and from th: standpoint of
[6687]operation from Germzr e011 they ere far less likely to be agreeable to
[6688]BONN. We are feerfrl of putting in Jeoperdy e presently successful
[6689]operation and four t< five million dollars of etuipaent by the Intro-
[6690]duction of a project weich wa feel should be kept separate and apart.
[6692]The other metter which come up for formel ection involved the
[6693]advieshility of undertzking Polieh programing in Germany, and the
[6694]Executive Committce urzntmously syreed th.t R.F.P2. zhould proceed
[6695]vith the plens prezexted. In brief, such plens call for the origine-
[6696]tion of from three * four tours deily of Foileh vrogruming from Munich
[6697]beginning on or about Mey 1, 1952, and the introduction of some 50 to
[6698]60 Poles into the efty ef Munich for work with Pe F.E. to carry out
[6700]this schedule.
[6702]Since this is e x<for step in the development of R.F.§. progrem-
[6703]ing and more perticul-rly beesuse of the forthcening neyotietions be-
[6704]tween representatives of N.C.P.0., HICOG, srt BOKH, it was felt thet
[6705]you should be formelly sdvised of this decision. The Frecutive Con-
[6706]mittee also wanted t+ ¢o on record to the effect taat while they
[6707]retlized the riske involved, affirm:tive action wes teken as @ result
[6708]of opinions given by Messrs. Byroede, Kellermern trd Streuss of the

[6788]Desr Allen:
[6790]ab the Gressée Sourd Meeting: last Friday, C... reported in detail on our
[6791]meeting in Ed Barrott's office.
[6793]This was followed by a senerno) discussion of the nature and scope of the
[6794]19S? Grussde program. Briefly, there was agreemcnt thet the progrrm in
[6795]192 should be considerably reduced in scope, thet the emphasis should be
[6796]taken off publicity and placed on fund-raising with the promotional period
[6797]teing reduced from two months to two or three weeks. . It was felt that a
[6798]direct mail canpaicn to our present list of givers -- plus a thorough
[6799]solicitation of corporntions -~ would be desirable.
[6801]Thera was discussion also of a one-night house-to-house canvass, nation-wide,
[6802]on Constitution Day next September. Mr, Poole suggested that, in addition to
[6803]Radio Free Europe, the 1952, Crusade might place emphasis on the newly formed
[6804]Free Eurepe University in Exile at Strasbourg, France. General Clay -
[6805]recomended that tha Advertising Council's assistance in the new c:mwpaign
[6807]be sousht at the enrliest moment,
[6809]TI have reported: the above to John Demewood -~ elso your instructions on the
[6810]sutnission of a budget.
[6812]$450,000 was the estinated figure which we mentioned to you as adequate to
[6813]cover the entire operation. After careful study and ell possible paring,:
[6814]the total budget submitted herewith amounts to $423,991... this to be
[6815]spresd over the eleven renrining monthe of 1952. :
[6817]Cf this total, $222,270 would fall in the present fiscal year (5 months at
[6818]$44,454 per zonth).
[6820]The total budgeted figure is sligttly more than a cuarter of the coat of the
[6821]195. campaiom. With the ground work that has been laid during the past two
[6822]drives, it should realize at least as much as the campaign just completeds
[6823]altrough thia, of course, is difficult to estinate.
[6825]We hava had further talks with the VOA people, and the "Crusader" supplenent
[6826]devoted to the Ysice will a:vear next week. They seewed very pleased about
[6828]it.

[7678]*3. Jaokoon atviaed that he had a tentative date to
[7679]call on tho Vord Foundation people in ?asadena cn January Sth.
[7680]Braden advised that 1t would be appropriate at thet tine to
[7681]make a strong pitch on the Iren Curtain refngee problen with
[7682]the fdea that the government was teokling this problem but
[7683]needed substantial help froa private agencies, and that if
[7684]Ford would give a sizable sus to ECFZ, which it in turn sould
[7685]fara out to IRC, it would help to get the ball rolling on a
[7686]major peychological warfaro problen. Braden stressed that
[7687]private int*iative was extrezaly important that if a private
[7688]gency ected now, it would speed up the governmental machinery,
[7689]Ho algo said that the maxinua estinated covernncntal contrie
[7690]bation teward this problea was. not expscted to be more than
[7691]half the cost.
[7693]"Braden also advised that IRC hed agreed with David
[7694]Martin for Martin to step down fron his post as Yxecutive
[7695]Dircator and that tho Commtee was considering the appointe
[7696]nant of a well-known unalversity president to assuze the job.
[7697]Ba said that Hartin had agreed to step out of the picture
[7698]altogether if the Connittee wished hia te do so but that in
[7699]aay case bis role fron now on would bs ninor.
[7701]®It was also agreed that this discussion of refugees and
[7702]TRC could include the plan worked up by Berle end lolbeare to

[8766]Tne Natlonal Committee for a Free Furope ia an organization of
[8767]private American cltirens wiose purpose 4s to encouraga the spread
[8768]of frecdom behind the Iron Curtain in Europe. It 1s a meabersaip
[8769]corporation, chartered under tho laws of the State of New York.
[8771]In spreading the doctrine of freedom and combatting Soviet
[8772]totalitarLanian, the (antttee operates radio stations wileh plores
[8773]the Iron Qurtain; in close cooperation with the French authoritios
[8774]and the Univoraity ef Strasbourg, it operates an educational eentre
[8775]at Strasbourg for young men and women who have escaped fron bahind
[8776]the Iron Curtain; it attempts by other means than radio to carry
[8777]messares of hope and of tho poaribllity of eventual liboration to
[8778]the nationa witch are now enslaved; it conducts studies of tho lava,
[8779]customs and cultures of theso nations as they existed prior to
[8780]Soviet occupations and-it documonte the changes whioh have been
[8781]imposed by the Soviet so that if the time should come when the
[8782]people risé against their conqusrors, they may more easily estab-
[8784]‘lish contimity with their past.
[8786]In all of this work the Comiittes draws information and support
[8787]from many sources -- from those who have escaped and wno must resain
[8788]anonymous for fear of roprisals on their families at home, fron taose
[8789]in this country who wish to work voluntarily for the cause of freedon
[8790]abroad, from the American people at large, and from goverment agen-
[8791]¢elee which, in the American tradition, give all possible aid to
[8792]private citisens engaged in a worthwille public cause.
[8794]Pand raising for the Comalttee ia done by a subeldiary, the
[8795]Crusade for Freecom which, in the course of raising monoy, also
[8796]helps to keep before the Amorican people and people throughout the
[8797]world the noed for spreading tho idea of froedom. For example, the
[8798]Freedom Bell, which now rings regularly over the clty of Berlin, was
[8799]the gift of sixteen million Americans who contributed to the Crusade
[8800]for Freedon. All in all, signatures and voluntary donations fron
[8801]Bore than twenty-five million Americans have come to the Crusade for
[8802]Freedom to date. Generous contributions have also been made to tha
[8803]Committee by private foundations; and at the request of Governaent
[8804]agencies, certain specific research and other projects have been
[8805]undertaken and carried on with the assistanoe of funds provided by
[8806]the departmente or agencies concerned.
[8808]A Board of Directors consicting of proainent American citisens
[8809]from all walks of life pass upon the policies and supervise tho
[8814]ope rations of the Comittee. Tie work of the Oommlttee is carricd

[8888]MEMORANDUM FOR: Mr, Braden, PY/10
[8889]SUBJECT: Radio Free Europe
[8891]1. For your information the following report on Radio Frec Europe
[8892]Hungarion broadcasts was received here recently, although the informa="—~ ~~~
[8893]tion was obtainod last Marche .
[8895]"a, Radio Free Europe broadcasts from MUNICH, Germany,
[8896]are more popular than the Voice of America programs and its
[8897]news coverare is considered both current and based on authen-
[8898]tic sources, However, ita cormentaries on foreign politics
[8899]are severely criticised and allegedly the general opinion in
[8900]Hungary is that whoever writes this program has not the
[8901]slightest idea either of the conditions in Hungary or of the
[8903]‘ general needs of the people.
[8905]"bv, There arg also opjections to the prosran of News
[8906]Briefs (ROVAT ADASOK), This propram is considered a nuisance
[8907]and isn't even listened to by those for whom it is intended.
[8908]By scheduling 15 and 50 minute prorrams specifically veamed
[8909]to different segments of the population, such as: the women's
[8910]program, the church prorram, the farmer's program, book and
[8911]movie reviews, etc., Radio Free Europe reduces its listening
[8912]audience to those wno mirht be interested in tne specific
[8913]program, while the majority o: the listeners are forced either
[8914]to cease listening to their radios or chanre to another broad-
[8915]castin: station. As a result, Radio Free Surope has been losing
[8916]its audience and the decline is especially noticeable during
[8917]the progran of News Briefs when the majority of tne listeners
[8918]allegediy change over to the BRC program.
[8920]"ec. The worxers are particularly interested in political
[8921]news and are in an excellent position to spread the news
[8922]throughout the factories. Apain the BRC aprears to be the
[8923]most popular station. Informant learned of the fate of one
[8924]Imre HO2VATH, & proup lewier in a Textile Mill in SZ2GiD,
[8925]HORVATH passed on some news concerning the activities of the
[8926]"Political Police? of SZEGED which he had ericinally heard
[8927]on ona of these foreirn broaucasts, This resulted in HOIVATH

[8946]"d. The necessity for special prograas beamed at the
[8947]youth of Ilungary is vory acute. The youth of today which .
[8948]has pasaed ito léth your of age docs not listen to children's
[8949]prosrang any loner but ia interested in broadcasts on the i °
[8950]subject of anti-Commnist idsolozies, This is the ago proup |
[8951]that tho Communists are ospocitally interested in and on whose
[8952]etucation in tha Communist apirit spsetal emphasis is placad. :
[8953]All of this azo froup, without oxcention, attends Communist
[8954]Party schooly and Marxist seminars and also reccives pro=
[8955]military traintnz. To ald in this therouvh indoctrination
[8956]in Marxism -aa- presented to them, special nowspupers and
[8957]maxazines full of Communist ideological autorial are being
[8958]published, It ta therefore hirhly desirable that speclal
[8959]promrams aimed ut thig youth group be prepared so that thoy
[8960]will bo ablo to judve for themselves the truo conditions in
[8961]comparison to the propagunda that is fed to them by the
[8963]Communist reine of Ihungary."
[8964]~ The comment o1 the field accompanying this report statos:
[8966]"An effort is being made to ascertuin the basis of the above critique
[8968]of foreisn radio broadcasts by asking Informant if this critique repre-
[8970]sents his ow opinions or the opinions of one or more friends or casual
[8972]contacts, and whethor it is an observation o: the pregrang which were
[8974]heard during his short visit in GUDAPEST or based on a longer period of
[8976]tine. Inasmuch ug Informant cannot be contacted directly, we have no .

[9057]Rave talked to Mary Newsom (kext acting chief

[9138]CT eres wmarmne Fy 2
[9140]: First, it de felt that because of the nitionevide neeeptinee of the Crusads
[9142]. and Lts rccogntsed success curiny the pist two yours it would bo a mistake
[9143]to substitute the "Ddius foe Precast slogan for Crisade for Freeda. Tho
[9144]Advertisiny Council concire wit! us in our reluctance toe use the word "Dinca"

[9149]the Advortisin:; Council will ales scsist on, will ctart chout Januiry lste
[9151]i Another inportant frictar to be eomsiderce is the diffieulty of scllint a

[9165]ercasing acceptance of the Crisedc for Preodon.
[9167]The Dines for Freedon prosran
[9169]Another danger inherent in the pirn is the drive for 10,000,000 simaturcs.e

[9177]Puerhans the react difffieult ccarction wauld be tht of tha trucks with the

[9199]os
[9201]‘Ic have came up with another idea which we feel] would lend itself to the
[9202]mrcatest possible psycholo.tical warfare usayce It would also cnable us to
[9203]coordinate our caupaimn wit! the objectives and progran of the Voice of
[9205]Ancricas
[9207]Tying in the previous acconzrlishents of the Cruscde, mmely, facilitics
[9208]for Radio Free Europe, the Freedom Bell and the balloon opuretion, we fecl
[9210]. that we could distribute throuck our ctate and local orzanizations nillions
[9212]of thin paper lcaflets, cuc.. as those uscd in the “finds of Freedom operations
[9213]Theso Would carry a message based on the Christmrg thee of pence on carth, -
[9214]wood will to men; the Frecdon bell would be printed at the top, and beneath
[9215]the forcign languaze messauce sould be space at the bottom for pcrzonal
[9217]And the si:maturca would be promoted throughout
[9218]the country on the bacis that these nessaces of good will would be Slom
[9220]An balloons behind the Iron Curtain during the Christmas scason. The basic
[9221]oepproach to tho Amcrican pecple would be that their contributions to this
[9222]yoarts campaign would not only go to purchacc balloons thit ‘sould carry
[9223]their personal messaze behind the Iron Curtain (we now have stored in iunich
[9224]55,000 unmarked P-20 balloons and 5,000 balloons marked “lolnesc"), but
[9225]sonld also go to improve and increase the facilitics of Radha Free Europe
[9227]and Radio Free Asias
[9229]The focal point of this carpaizn would be a balloon itself. | “ic have 20,000
[9230]Pe20 balloons in Minneapolis. These balloons could be dt stributcd through
[9231]etate chairmen to citics and tomns where they could be inflated and placed
[9232]in front of city hall or public squarce Bencath the balloons, rceeptacles
[9233]srould be placed where both the lesflets and contributions covld be collected,
[9234]For oxample, cach city comnittce could lettcr its balloon to.rcad "Prom the
[9236]Citizcns of Peoria, Illinois, U.S.A."
[9238]Actually, none of these balloons would be shipped to Europe, but the Icaflate
[9239]could be aix-matled to New York on December 15th and be forwarded to Munich
[9241]to arrive before Christmas Day.
[9243]Another possibility to be esnsidcred is the "gift" fron pmertinan people idea.
[9244]We now have in lunich 100,090 razor blades, 75,000 needics, 150,000 cakes of
[9245]sop and 100,000 zippers. These might be included in the balleons. I think
[9246]this idca has uuch to commend it. For one thing, this would jive somcthinz
[9247]besides words to the pesples behind the Iron Curtain who are likcly to ret
[9248]fed up on too many messaccs which tell tien to keep thcir chins up. Sucondly,
[9249]it provides an cxecllent way of countering Red proparanda aginst the baller
[9250]operation; Radio Free Burope will then be able to ask, ‘Jon't your masters
[9251]want you to reccive gifts? Don't they want you to ask why. it is so difficult
[9252]to get razor blades in your country and why the free world’ has enouch of
[9254]then that it can send then to you?" i
[9256]I presume that the question will be raised as to what the Communists rould
[9257]do with advanee knowledge of the opcration.g I fccl tht the answer to this
[9259]“ics in the joint operction of both RFE and VO\, continuzlly rcportiny during ©

[9276]these messazes of fricndship and hope for thc peoples behind the Iron Curtains
[9277]By thus takings the offensive and putting the Communists on notice that this
[9278]is a great expression of wuinimity on the part of the American pesplic —
[9280]any attempt on the part of the Communists to deprecate or interfere with
[9282]the program would lend itself to psychological warfare usc, This coincides
[9283]with General Clay's statement in his letter of February lith to the various.
[9284]state chairmen.
[9286]We aré not underestimating the magnitude of such an operation here or abroad.
[9287]To pain the maxinun psychological benefit, at least 100,000 balloons chow
[9288]be used. It could be a hardehitting demonstration of the effectiveness of
[9289]the Crusade for Frocdone
[9291]Every nmenmbcr of the Crusade staff, includin; the ficld organisation, hopes
[9292]that this idea may be approved. Sccing the balloons in thcir hore toms and
[9293]knowing that their messages could reach the peoples behind-the Iron Curtain
[9294]should inspire millions ef Amcricans to suppers the campaign financially ane
[9295]would serve to renind them constantly throughout the campaig of the tre=
[9296]mendous accomplishnents achieved during the Inst two yoars as a result of
[9297]their personal contributions, ‘
[9299]It is most important that we secure positive and unaltcroble clearance of
[9300]this idea within the next ten days, .

[9339]2. with NCFE, tia irritation probably goes back to another

[9341]stopring operation pure and simple, and I taink it was not an

[9374]made no reply. ‘
[9376]5s. I have gone over the record of letters to and from Valentine
[9377]since ho assumed his duties and I have aloo carefully gone over the: _
[9378]récord of all the-activities wich CFA has undertaken on witch lialeon,
[9379]baekstopping and poliaqy guidance from ug were involved, and I find to
[9380]my own satisfaction that we nave dons an offeotive job for Valentine.
[9381]I find memoranda and records indicating that 1 have en ooveral occas
[9382]sions, a3 in the letter to which he referred, asked for hio coment
[9383]and criticioa and assured him that my sgcle purposs was to be helpful
[9384]to him in doing hia job. I would be glad to go over these records .
[9385]with you. Despite this, however, Valentine hag told mo that noither — :
[9386]Brow nor I are high level enourh for him to talk to and that in tho ‘
[9387]future he will get his poliay guidance directly from you or fron
[9388]! General Smith.
[9390]6. At my express suggestion Valentine bogmm writing letters to
[9392]: you. I realised that he wags a difficult person and I knew that writing
[9393]. to you and receiving letters from you would give him the sense of '
[9394]‘ importance that he wantéd. Whon he wrote you, however, to protest my :
[9395]: appointuent of Eamons Brown as “xeoutive Officer of the 1.) Division
[9397]and to suggest to you personnel arrangements in 10 that should, in
[9399]the first instance at least, and in any spirit of friendly cooperation
[9401]have been mads to mo, it seared to me that I ought to be fairly firme
[9403]- I do not think my letter in reply was in error. Fven if it was, I
[9405]think you should have backed me up on ite If 1 make mistakes, you
[9407]ean fire me. Until you do fire ne, you ought to back me. Aa matters
[9409]pow stand, you have put ge in a position where, in dealing with the
[9411]eituation I have tried to outline above, I shall have greater diffi-

[9543]SRLGRANDUM FO: DEPUTY UL RECTOR (PLANS)
[9544]HEC! ~ Project TPIOMC
[9546]1. On 18 April 1952 the Projact iteview Comaltton recommondod
[9547]to the DCE approval of Project TMC calling for the payment of
[9548]£138,991 to tho Crucade for Freedom for 1953. As a rider to its
[9549]recommondation for approval of the project, tha Comiltteo made the
[9550]fcllowing provision: that a consulting fina be employed by CIA at -
[9551]a concultant!s fee to investigate the Crusade opnration, both from
[9552]tae standpoint of substance and adininistration with particular
[9554]attention to cost.
[9556]2. Tio proviso was made at the instance of Mr. Hedden, Inspector
[9557]General. I argued at this meeting that since tho Crusade itself was
[9558]a funderaising agency and cmployed another fund-raising agency to help
[9559]4t, the employment of a third Nund-raising agency ay convul tant was
[9560]comparable to placing an advorticing contract with N. W. Ayer and
[9561]then placing another contract with Young ~ hubicam to investigate
[9562]B. W. Ayer's conduct under the contract. Mr. Heddon inalated in
[9563]response that this was reasonable business practice and his view
[9565]carried the day.
[9567]3. Several weeks ago, with all the tact that I could muster,
[9568]I conveyed to Admiral tiller, the President of CTE, my intention to
[9569]exploy the firm of Harold Oram or some other funderaising, a,ency or
[9570]Andividual whom he might care to suggest as a consultant to me and
[9571]tee Crusade operation. Admiral Miller said he would like time to
[9573]trink about this.
[9575]4. With kindly intent but considerable firmness, Admiral iiiller
[9576]told me on 3 June that after thinking it over he had decided that if
[9577]this step were taken he would resign as President of NCFE. He weat
[9578]on to say that he had taken this job at our request and because he
[9579]iad been told that we placed confidence in him to run an efficient
[9580]eperation. He had worked hard trying to make the operation efficient;
[9581]ce had particularly noted that the Crusade was not run according to

[9843]to Jeancon which appeared in an interview in tie ‘London Daily

[9848]2. Admiral Miller, after an interview witi Jeancon, informs
[9849]me that a correspondent for the sorker interviesed Jeancon and that
[9850]subseqiently a’ story anpeared in wo worker wnich was completely
[9851]unfactual, the fact of Lie interview beicg used as a peg on wich

[10157]: MEMORANDUM FOR: ASSISTANT DIRECTOR FOR POLICY OOORDINATION
[10159]ere SUBJECT: National Committee for a Free Europe
[10161]i 1. I am naturally disturbed by the report which has reached
[10163]: me as to your attitude on the National Comittee for a Free Europe,
[10165]as expressed to the Inspector General at a meeting last week which
[10166]I was unable to attend because of absence from the city.
[10168]2. This attitude, as described to me, was that you knew very
[10169]little about NCFE but that you had the general impression that it
[10170]was rather loosely handled from an administrative and policy control
[10171]standpoint. I do not wish to go into tae nistcry of NCFE control by
[10172]CIA and be accused of casting aspersions on its nandling in the past.
[10173]I do think, however, that your allegations may te correct so far as
[10174]the past is concerned.
[10176]3. As of the present, however, I want you to know that
[10177]Mr. Durkee and I, with very able assistance from members of
[10178]Mr. Durkee's staff, are doing our level best to set up agreed upon
[10179]procedures for administrative, financial and policy control and
[10180]reporting. With the best objectivity I can muster, I think that
[10181]your responsibility over the National Comittee for a Free Europe
[10182]is now being ably discharged,
[10184]4. I would like at your convenience to go over the new
[10185]L arrangements that have been made and to bring you completely up
[10186]to date on the activities of the Committee, as well as to get your
[10187]J\ instructions as to a system of making such periodic reports to you
[10188]\ in the future. This briefing mght well take the form of a prelimn-
[10190]_ inary budget review and I sugsest that the division heads of NCFE
[10191]might be brought down to make progress reports to you in the briefing
[10192]room. I am hopeful that after such a meeting you will feel not only
[10193]conversant with the present arrangements and activities of the
[10194]Comittee but that they will, with modifications you may wish to
[10196]err v r
[10198]14-00000 en rr rn, Ne Later tet lS He ee YET ENN oa Ont A i tet ta a Opa tock ape 5
[10200]i sugrest, havo your full approval, and, that consequently you will
[10201]wish to make some statement at an early staff meeting indicating
[10202]your satisfaction with these plans. Otherwise, I very much fear
[10203]that the prevalont attitude within OFC wich is one of general
[10205]sdissatisfaction with NCrE based largely on inadequate understanding
[10206]of what the Committee is doing may prejudice the work that with your
[10207]concurrence I brought BL11 Durkee here to do.

[10326]REFERENCES Secret Momorandum dated 24 April 1952 to Deputy Chief,
[10327]. SE/PC from Chief, 10, subject: Future of Strasbourg’
[10328]Free Europe Univergity Students
[10330]1. We approciate receiving the informtion on the two Albanian
[10331]students now attending the Free Kurcope University at Strasbourg which
[10332]was forwarded in references
[10334]2. We have now roceived a re;cort from the field which indicates
[10335]that Koste Xhajanka is connected with the Albanian Legation in Paris.
[10337]30 We would like very much to know the background of this man's
[10338]acceptance at the Free Europe Univergity, including how and where his
[10339]application was made; whether hie acceptance was on the basis of hia
[10340]scholastic record alene or on the basis of recommendations; if the
[10341]latter, whose; and any other details available. It would be appreciated
[10343]if you could inquire into this matter for us.
[10345]4. Since requesting that favorable consideration be given to
[10346]the application of Ramis Qira, we have received arcrport which in-
[10347]dicates that he too has becn connected with the Albanian IS. It is
[10348]requested that steps be taken to ensure that his application be dis-
[10350]approved.
[10352]5S. It hag also been reported that a Kalem Golemi, also covertly
[10353]employed by the Albanian Legation in Faris, has applied for adnission
[10354]to the Free Europe University.
[10356]6. All of these reports anpear to indicate that an effort is
[10357]being made by the Albanian Government to place their arents in the
[10358]Free Europe University. If this is true, no doubt other satellite
[10359]countries will follow the same policy. It is sugrested that the
[10360]authorities of Free Europe Univercity be warned and advised to screen
[10361]carefully the students being admitted and to refuse admission to
[10362]people about whom there is any question,

[10522]1. I am disturbed by the fact indicated in this memranha
[10523]that the State Department, namely Campbell, is attempting to lay
[10524]down the line almost to the preclea language which Admiral Miller
[10525]uses with the political refugees.

[10529]have to tell Campbell that witle itis the State Departnent's
[10531]job to make policy, the only way NCFE can possibly conform to
[10533]Canpbell's ideas is to appoint Campbell to deal with exiles and
[10534]ws ask him whether he wants a job. .

[10609]after arrenging au appointmont through his cousin, Senator Moody,
[10610]Mr. Scripps callud on the Director to discusa his proposal for a -
[10611]S3riendship Balloon Lift." Certain materials rulating to this progosal
[10612]had previously been transmitted to the Director by rir, Allen Dulles,
[10614]In reply to questioning, 4r, Scripos asserted that he was well
[10615]acquainted with the SCFs winds of freedom caupaign, in wich he had
[10616]participated, but that he had not discussed his present proposal with
[10617]MCF, tie said he had talked tu many American business men, wno vere
[10618]sll entimssastic and were prepared to donate the variety of products
[10619]which he proposes snmould be included in the payloads. He said that his
[10620]fathor was an ardent supporter of the project, along with a Ar, Fleteher,
[10621]Vice ?rasident of the Caterpillar Tractor Company and Ur. Harnett,
[10623]Hr. Fletcher spent sone tice in Russia, he said, hen asked whether
[10624]Caterpillar was in the balloon business, ir. ccripps said no.
[10626]Other names mentioned by Mr. Scripps as being familiar with bis .
[10627]proposal included Nick Naradi, identified as an exeninister of the
[10628]Hungarian Governzent; Frank Jewitt of General “lls (which holds a
[10629]balloon research contract with the Uffice of Naval ‘tesearch), who has
[10630]given his a letter to an adairaly an Admiral <illers; and a Mr. *rank
[10631]of CIA. (se0 below) Hr. Scripps also mentioned a ‘Paychological squipe
[10632]ment Development Office Icestsd in the old Post Uffice building,
[10634](see below)
[10636]Mr. Serippe was troubled by security problaus, It was apm rent
[10637]that he felt he had obtained confidential information from cartain govern-
[10638]ment sources which he could not disclose. At the sane time, he stated
[10639]that in orcer to work out hie proposal in any detail, he would neod
[10640]access to information presently denied hin, fherefore, ne suggested
[10641]that he be cleared tor security by tne appropriate agencye
[10643]As a result, it proved impossible to nail down the technical
[10644]aspects of Mr. Seripse' proposal, In hia formal presentation, he had
[10645]@escribed a balloon capable of carrying a 0-pound payloed ami costing
[10646]$5. In bis conversation, he mentioned a vehicle capable of carrying
[10647]300 to 800 pounds, together with a stagrored release nechsnisa--without

[10658]he did not foresee any technical barriors, .
[10660]7 . la
[10662]When asked how he would finance his proposal, Ar. Scrippa said
[10663]that he would begin with private contributions, with. the thought that
[10664]oventuslly the program would be taken over-by the govesnmant. le laid:
[10665]stregs.on the neod for early organisation (deg. fund raising, balloon
[10666]stockpiling, crew training, selection of leunching sites) in onter th
[10667]operatiuas could ba started immediately following s decision as to
[10668]desirability. He stated that 90 days would be sufficient to prepare ©
[10669]for operations, once he got the "green light".
[10671]Dr. Allen expressed his pursonal interest in the proposal, but
[10672]Peminded Hr. Scripps that Poil's field was strategic rather than operas
[10673]tional, and that in an operational proposal of such complexity, PCB
[10674]could only give the matter a cursury review. Therefore, Lr. Alien stated
[10675]hie intention to forward the propusal to the Psycholoyical Uperations
[10676]Coordirsting Committesa, whico was the proper boay to give the project
[10677]the detailed screening to which Lt was entitled. vr, Allen also suge
[10678]gested that Hr, Scriypa see C. D. Jackson, .
[10680]Mr. Norderg then suggested that as an edditional aid Mr, Scripps
[10681]prepare a brief but fairly specific deseriptioa of what he parsonally
[10682]was prepared to do, along with an outline of te organization which would
[10683]be nesded to carry out the project. Hr. Scripps said that he wuld do

[10688]_ Joe Frank, when asked about Hr. Scripoa, said he had met hin several
[10689]tiaes between Decenber 1950 and February, 1951. During this periat of
[10690]early planning for balloon operations, Mranx eaid that Seripps proved
[10691]quite halpful by quieting curtain private ent:usiasts, in aidition to
[10693]f, a discreet silence hinself, Frank aid not kuow for a fact
[10694]that Me, Seripps participated in the Auguat oporation, but judged that
[10695]it was likely. Ia Frank's ovinion, Scripve is a capazle person with
[10696]valuable connections in the business world and sufficient financial

[10729]they feel that Miller who is exceliont on tho adzinistrative side

[10926]At ite Lxception, the National Comittee for a Free Lurope
[10927]belteved that its Iron Curtain broadcasting operation, kadio Pree
[10928]Zurope, could and sheila be developed and pursusd through the medium
[10929]of "National Councils® or "Comittees of Liberation" composed of
[10930]exile groupe from tne target countries, It was conaidered that
[10931]prominent exile leaders ari personalities of eacn nationality group
[10932]could express to their captive countrymen, entirely without sAnerican
[10933]advice and guidance, tie messege of hore which NCP proposed to send.
[10934]This concept was not fa:filled. Experience in attenpting to weld a-
[10935]talented, dedicated group of exiles into a non-partisan broadcasting
[10936]operation early deconstratec tnat without Anerican control the mission
[10937]of KFE would be lost is %:< jungle of extle-world politics, It soon
[10938]becase evident that the leaserstip among the exiles wae neither suffle
[10940]elently strong nor persozally willing to rise above tiie political cross
[10942]currents, factional rivalries, and splinter-group weaknesses character=
[10944]istically reminiscent of the political affairs of all Lastern Luropean
[10946]countries,
[10948]These factors ciliteted against tne original plan of pernitting
[10950]14-00000
[10952]exiles, through their loosely oryanized Councils or Committees, to
[10953]wholly develop, manage, and contrcl RFE broadcasting. :
[10955]Since the advent of RFL was tne most iaportant development
[10956]affecting the exiles wich iad occurred since their flirht fro: home,
[10957]ther quickly understood and applauded its implications and potential
[10958]effect on their futures, Tnrourh this instrument they could once
[10959]again become prominent and powerful in the affairs of the homeland;
[10960]ence sore they could contend for place and power,
[10962]Sslection of personnel for the purpose at hand quickly becane
[10963]@ political football of rival leaders, personalities, and groups.
[10964]Richtists, Leftists, Centrists, Labor Elements, and Splinter-groupa
[10965]argeed with us for advancenent of their particular personal or political
[10966]views. Sponsorship of their own adherents as RFE exployees through whow
[10967]such views would be broadcast to their captive countrynen becane the
[10968]pattern of thei: pseudo cooperation, This pattern was followed ‘to such
[10969]an extent that ordinary progress and sensible development of our basic
[10970]parpose of truly free broadcasts under exile control soon appeared to
[10971]be not only impracticable, but dangerous. For exacple, the National
[10972]Counelis Division atlLeupted to inaugurate broadcasts to Czechoslovakia
[10973]under the ausvices of a Czechoslovak National Couneil, The Counetl was
[10974]aud ts zade up of exile personalities of differin; political views and
[10975]parties, Its factions proceeded to enrage in endless disputes and ire

[10989]upon the assucption that its special views would te thereby expressed ©
[10990]to the captive Czeciioslovak audience of RFL, Similar activities were
[10991]pursued by Hungarians » Bulgarians, and Poles until the futility of per-
[10992]mitting the exile Councils to control the destiny and broadcasting
[10993]policies of RFE was made clear beyond refutation. [t becane tragically
[10994]obvious that uncontrolled exile-world Councils and professional poli~
[10995]ticians could not agree on personnel selection or program content,
[10997]‘In spite of every effort to induce harmony in and obtain proper
[10998]Cooperation from the "Councils", "“Comalttees", and individuals, RFL was
[10999]confronted with an inpasse. The alternative ti.eory and present policy
[11000]of American selection of non-political exile personnel was the only way
[11001]out. It has worked, Technically qualified personrel produce properly

[11026]Development Stage
[11028]Upon the collapse of the original concept of broadcasting under
[11029]exile auspices, RFE necessarily utilized soze exile »ersoniel endorsed
[11030]and recornended by the leaders of the various nationality ;roups. As
[11031]technical radio facllities ease Into Lelng, exiies with radio background
[11032]or writing talent were reyured for the production of progranse, This
[11033]involved using individuals euinently qualified ty experience to do a
[11034]vadio job of script writing, announcing, acting, etc. without regard
[11035]for the fact that such individuals wight be at odds with one or another
[11036]political faction or leader of an exile "Council", It also involved
[11037]elimination of proven inefficient, inept or unworthy Individuals without :
[11038]regard for their exile "Council" sponsorship. In either instance crit-=
[11040]icism of RFE was predictable and indeed was always forthcoming <= often
[11042]in virulent acd dishonest fors.
[11044]The day to dey operation of RFE developed new techniques and
[11046]long range plans wiich made it {:. possible to e:ploy non-entities of no
[11048]harmony with NCFE@RFE purposes and policies necessarily were persons
[11049]known in their own countries for their views on domestic political af-
[11050]fairs and their anti~omminist activities, Hard-hitting propaganda
[11051]required hard-hitting personalities whose known association with RFE
[11052]and its prograzs would add validity and sigaifieance for our captive - . “
[11053]audiences, Gradually, therefore, the nationality desks of RFL at New .

[11068]dadeed aro members of tie Councils, but are men of sufficient stature
[11070]to give their primary aliegianca to the non-partisan policy of RFE, The
[11072]decisive factor 1a that there be no controversy or question about their

[11076]At this point, 1t mot be noted that our target countries have

[11089]dosestic and foreign atrug,les for power, The tines have produced a

[11120]Both processes are in vorue with a healthy disregard tor exile political

[11157]14-0000
[11159]many talented refugees who need employwent and ®.o can supply RFi's
[11160]need for script writers, actcrs, announcers, etc, Accordingly, desk
[11161]staffing has been accomplished by exaidning the qualifications of duly
[11162]recormaended individuals, whether the recomendations come from political
[11163]personalities or otherwise. Seleotion is based on the ability of the
[11164]individual to fill a need efficiently in turning out or participating
[11165]dn planned: progra:s, Recruitzent is detemained unly by ideolorical
[11166]eecurity, independence of exile politics, and personal ability,- This
[11167]4s not to say that many individual exiles having decidod personal con=
[11168]victions and well-known political records ure not employed, but a - .
[11169]positive statement is made that those exile employees now produce
[11171]RFE progravs refleot the policies and puidance of RFE rather than pro=
[11173]motion of partisan objectives and personalitias,
[11175]Recruitrent ~~ Detailed Procejures
[11177]The personnel cozplexent of each RFE nationality desk is
[11178]founded on a hard core of dependable individuals, usually two or three
[11179]people, including the chief of tha desk, "Dependability" 1s established
[11180]by exhaustive inquiry at all available sources to establish tue desire
[11181]ability, reliability, technical proficiency and security of the working
[11183]core of the desk. Sources used are?

[11221]In brief, the mission of RFE be:npg conceived as a iarketing

[11226]Recruitment -- Special Security Measures
[11228]Since RFE, although a private enterprise, 14 by extension a
[11229]collateral instrument of American national policy, special precaution
[11230]is exereised to insure the ideoloyical security of all employees, ine

[11243]additional approval of the Persomel Director of NCFL is required before

[11259]trree officera of NCFE jointly follow a policy of rejecting candidates
[11260]about who there ila the olightest dout. It is to be clearly undereteod
[11261]that in making decisions of this kind the conflietin, interests and

[12176]21 Harch. We never have recaived these facts from Thompson.
[12178]. WLLL you kindly, therefore, ask Thompson to get together
[12179]for you the facts on the new visa application -- its mmber,
[12180]where 1% was mado, etc. —- and we will go ancad and aot as

[12201]Dear Oliver:
[12203]: Whicn I last saw you, I spoks of the General
[12205]* Hennyey matter explaininy the creat importance that
[12206]the Fund places on expediting tha arrival of Gensral
[12207]Honnyoy in this country for Fund purposes. I Later
[12208]mentioned this matter in detail to one of your Liaison |
[12210]associates who has these matters in hand. I explained -
[12212]that it is considered imperative that all possivic as-
[12214]sistance be developed looking toward the sponsored ar-
[12216]rival of General Hennyey in tha shortost possibie time. 4
[12217]I now refer you to our letter of March 2, 1952, which I
[12219]delivered in person to Mr. Abramson. That letter con-
[12221]tains ail of the necessary data for action in tha case.
[12223]Mees TE
[12225]We have just been informed that the unconsclonable
[12226]delay in the processing and approval of General Hennyey's ‘
[12227]entry presently will be made the subject of public pro- .,
[12228]test by elements of the Hungarian National Council. :
[12230]The details of this situation will be more fully explain-
[12232]ed by Leonard L. Stamm who will hand you this letter.
[12234]For your convenience, I am attaching a copy of our
[12236]letter of March 2 above cited, and I would further state
[12238]that wa believe that extraordinary action should be
[12240]taken to affect the immediate proces:iing of General :

[12242]tives in Munich are in daily contact with General

[12253]March 2, 1952
[12255]Dear Mr. Minette: . : : ro! .
[12256]- General Gusstav Hennyey is Representative of the Huncarian National
[12257]Council in Western Germany and a persen in whom ‘the Fund places trust and
[12258]i confidence in ity dealings with the problems of the Hunzaritan Naiianal
[12259]: Council. The Fund has beon desirova for sony time that General Hennycy
[12260]: come te the United States, and believes that his visit here would be most
[12261]helpfid to the present activities and future of the Hungarian National
[12263]i Council. :
[12265]‘ An opportunity presented itself last fall for General Hennyey to
[12266]; amizrate to the United States ag a displaced parson. He was granted a : q
[12267]visa by the Consul General in Munich on November 21, 1951, BC Number 25621,
[12268]D.P. Commission Validation Number A-/037, Sponsor Mr. Louis Rado, 15? Main
[12269]Street, Poughkeepsie, New York. Subsequent to the issuance of his visa
[12270]his file was sent by the local representative of the U. S. Immigration
[12271]and Naturalization Services in Munich to the Office of the Attorney Gen-
[12272]eral in Washington for special consideration under Noe 3-CFR'17557. '
[12273]“4 Neither General Hennyey nor the National Council have been able to deter-
[12274]: - mine why his case has been held in suspense, by the Immigration and Natar-
[12275]‘alization Service. Indeed, in response to one inquiry Genaral Hennyey
[12276]was told that the file in question hai been lost. Ags stated above, the
[12277]Fund attaches great importance to General Hennyey's visit to the United
[12278]States, and considers this visit to be of hish operational importance,
[12279]since it will deeply affect the work of the Hunzartan National Council.
[12280]We shail be very grateful for any assistance which you can render in the
[12281]expedition of the decision of the Imnigratior and Naturalisation Servica.
[12282]IT may add that General Hennyey's visa will expire on the 2ist of this
[12283]month, and he also will lose his richts owing to the expiration of the
[12284]Displaced Persons Act in the near future should he not be able to emigrate
[12286]promptly.

[12304]MFMDRANOUM FORs DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE = _
[12305]SUBJ RCTs Crusade for Freedon
[12307]1. At a meting in John Devine's office at noon on 16 April
[12308]at which ware precont Hassrs. Davins, Gaith, Lang, Lanble, Braden
[12309]and Admiral Miller, Mr. Sulth presented the progres for the Crusade
[12310]for Freedom for naxt year, which I attach. the budget estimate ia
[12311]just over $500,000 and the central idea is to campaign acruas the
[12312]nation for eignatures and dimes on behalf of a pledge to preserve,
[12313]maintain and spread freedom.
[12315]2. There are, othor ideas connected with this, namely a freedom
[12316]train which will carry the scroll and dimes of the people of tas .
[12317]United States from point to point and which eventually will come to
[12318]Washingtos where the signatures attached to the scroll will be
[12319]paeounied ‘to the naw Congress and the nsw Frosident. Essent‘ally,
[12320]however, and-in terms of our relations with the State Departaent,
[12322]the program is intended to evoid specific mantion of what tho money
[12323]ia being roleed for; thus, for example, there will be no publicity
[12324]adout wiat tranomitters cost and how important it is to raiso ths
[12325]money. Instead, the campaipen wlll be kept vary general and AFZ~HFA
[12326]and YOA wild be mentioned only incidentally as one means of spreading
[12327]the idea of freedon.
[12329]3. Mr. Devine presented the program to Messrs. Sargeant, Kohler
[12330]and Compton and received their approval. I have thereforo notified
[12331]Adairal Hiller that there is no objection o2 behalf af the State
[12332]Departaent to the plan preeanted for the 1953 Crusade for Freedoa.

[12405]2, Admiral Miller reported that ho had presented the
[12406]agreed upon plan to Dimitrov, uithout threatening to cut
[12407]off funds, Dimitrov's first reaction was that the plan
[12408]Was a maneuver to oust Dinitrov. The end result, however,
[12409]was that Dimitrov was to think the plan ovar and give his
[12410]views on it in roturn, It was further suggested that a

[12412]after aa possible. However, Atcdral Miller: stated that .

[12633]MEMORANDUM TOR: DEPUTY DIRECTIN CLNTHAL INTELLIGENCE
[12635]SUBJECT: © Leon Dennen
[12637]2. Ye proviued for Ison Dennen $71,000 for tho period 1 August
[12638]__.... 161 te 30 dune 1952 for a project to be operated by FCF in Europe,
[12639]. (Denman did not, as I understand it, agsume bis work in iwropa until
[12640]e@. 1 Detober 1951.) The $71,000 included an allotment of $6,000 for
[12641]ten monthly payments of $600.00 for special intelligence activities.
[12642]Otis reoontly informed us, however, thet of the $600.00 per month
[12643]allotsents, Dennen had asked for and received a total of only $250,00
[12645]all told.
[12647]2. On 2 April, Admiral Miller stated that Dennen's work vas
[12648]absolutely worthless es far ae KCFE and KFL were conoernsa,
[12650]Dennen's intelligence reporte have boen evaluated as having
[12651]Practically no usefulness; and, as you knov, in hie intelligence
[12652]®gathering", ho has crossed some of Hu's vires. In both Oi and
[12653]O50, there is such suspicion of Dennen, that no one has boon willing
[12654]to give him direct guidance for foar that it vould merely anlargo
[12656]Dannan'a knovledge of our opereticns.
[12658]3. When Dennen returns, my recommendation ta that we tell him
[12659]that while w may discontime suport to the International Confederation
[12660]of Free Trade Untoniste in kxile, va foel that, since ve have a Perlis
[12661]RCFE representative, we should uee this channele-or somo other. channel
[12663]not involving additional expense,
[12665]4. Meanwhile, since the ICFTU in exile is of prinary interest
[12666]to ES, and of some intercet to SE ani hE, I have asked Mr. Brose, Mr.
[12667]Horton, and Hr, Scott their views on continued support to the organization
[12668]and, after a go-round with them, I will send up a further roport to you, °

[12728]Mr, Virolam called at his ronuset to inforr us of the high
[12729]lights of his revent trip to burope, flo hai first attended the
[12730]peoting of the Eestern Evropran Section of the Burerean Movement
[12731]in Lonion, then vielted Franoo, O:rmany and Italy. —
[12733]. Me, Viroiem said that in Germany ho had tal»ed «ith Chance) lor
[12734]Adenausr, Secretary of State Hallatein, and other officiala of the
[12735]Bonn Government, as well as with Mr, Rober and othe> Allied officlala,
[12736]He said that the Germans were rympathetic to hia discussion of
[12737]Tamanian affaires and showed some intercat in the vroblens of Eastern
[12738]Europs. They, emphasized, however, that Germany's present position
[12739]Gid not enable then: to apeak in terme of any positive rolloy at this
[12740]time, Mr, Visolem got the impression that the Ge-mans vere now, and
[12741]would be in the future, even more actively interested in Rumania . ;
[12742]apd other Eastern Lurcpean countries than were France and Italy. '
[12743]Mr, Vieoiany felt that F. ance had completely abdicated its position
[12744]in Eastern burojs and was entirely wrapped up in its ow domostie — -
[12745]problems and relations with Germany.
[12747]Me, Viseolarm also discussed in Gurmany the cuestion of Rumanian
[12748]refugees there (gost of vhom aro Iron Guardists) and of the rather
[12749]Jergo community of Yolksdeutscha who came to G from Rumania at
[12750]the close of the war. lle said that the Gorman authorities vould
[12751]liko to have this group returned to Kumania at such tine as tho
[12752]country might be literated, both buosuse they contrituted to Germany's
[12753]overpopulation problem and because they vould repreesst, as they
[12754]have in the past, a poseiblo instrument for German policy in Rumania.
[12755]As a Rumantan, Mr. Vicolam: waa not over amcious to adi to the mmbera
[12756]of the German minarity but folt that a free Rumanian Goverment vould
[12757]not deny the right of return to thoes who wiehed to do s0.
[12759]Mr, Vieolan talked at longth vith Mr. Tyler in Ssris. Ho .
[12760]Fetaing his iistrust and dislixe of the KCFE, which te saya ean never ‘

[12764]Be vas particularly incensed about Mr, Berle's recent intervention in

[12767]serious iz-lioatiore mt only for the cmigree tut cles for the foture ,

[12798]Dear Hint
[12800]Looking through the recently inherited files, I noties
[12801]a epecital fund which has its origin in the Poole ora. For
[12802]the present fiscal year £10,000 has been drawn and accounted
[12803]for, as a John Waterfield accounting statement dated 27 Janu-
[12804]ary 1952 indicates, You will note there is 4 cash balance
[12806]as of 27 January of 95,578.
[12808]Thio ie one of those things that questions will always |
[12809]be raised about. I know there is good precedent for it,
[12810]however, in buainess firms and maybe wo should contime it.
[12811]In any event, I wanted to bring it to your attention and te
[12812]be sure you knew of its existence.

[12931]1, Attached is a detailed sumnary of the events ourrounding the
[12933]‘attempted utilisation by Opec of Henry Landowski as a contract agent in

[12936]Journalist under contrast with RYE to provide that organization with news
[12937]of refugees coming into Greece from certain countries. Landowski waa not
[12938]intograted into RYZ; he vas associated with RS under a contractual arrange-
[12939]ment meant to provide him with a reasonable explanation for his income and
[12941]offices.
[12943]2. Tho relationship was not a successful one for osveral reasons:
[12945]a Landowski hinself was poorly suited for the assignment, and
[12946]did not bring the necessary experionce and akill required to maintain
[12947]emooth working relations with RYE.
[12949]b. Fho Landowski assignment was not, in fact, compatible with
[12950]RYA's decision to station a regular etaff officer of ite own in
[12951]Athens. Since the functions of the tyvo men appeared to overlap to
[12952]an unreasonable degreo, both vere put in an awkward position.
[12954]6. RYE is not organised or designed to maintain covert relation=
[12955]ships with contract agenta notionally asscclated with it.
[12957]a. The Mlaicon between CIA/opcs and RYE was not, during the period
[12958]under consideration, fully satisfactory in this inatance. Quite uinor
[12959]problens became sertous because of a lack of couplete understanding
[12960]Ddetween the two organisations.

[13051]Zhe Casa of Henry Locdowekd
[13053]1, On 10 January 1951, at the requeat of Opa Athens, ug/Po (thru Ebe})
[13055]reqesated an operational clearances on Henry Landowekt, thon reoiding in
[13056]Athens. Landoweky, a Polish oitisen by birth, was naturalised a US ol tigen
[13057]on 2$ Joly 1950. He fe now 33 yeare old, The PC Field Station wiahed to
[13058]wee him as a contract agent under cover in Greece, engaged principally fa
[13059]PY work and in reoruiting and handling other agonts. The clearance was
[13060]granted on 30 Hay 1951, and on 15 June Landowaky signed a contract in Athens.
[13061]2. The field diepatch outlining Landowsky's capndtlities and the work
[13062]envisegod for him decoribed him ae a freeslanco journalist, restdent of
[13063]Qreees for several yeare (hie mother was marricd to a Greok), familiar with
[13064]the Greek language aad fluent in Polish and German, and having cortain oon=
[13066]tacts in Greek governzent circles. His success in interviewing refugeca
[13068]from tha satellite countries had come to the station's notice, and it was
[13069]belfoved that under cover of such intorviews he vould bo useful fin gathering
[13070]material for propaganda use and in spotting ais recruiting agentes.
[13072]3. The Mold station angzented that a cover organisation be eatabe .
[13073]Aiehod to operate aa a neva agency tn Athene with ostensible headqusrters
[13074]in New York. Thie agenay would notionally epecialise in refugee sows for
[13075]press and radio, and would appear to draw ite main financial support fron
[13076]@ contract with Radio Pree Zuropo for the supplying of broadcast caterial
[13077]on refugee tepios. It waa the ficid’s plan that thie neve sorvies vould
[13078]ealeo furnish Gover to other Ope perconnel in the future, when {£0 sight
[13080]plausibly expand as a business enterprise. Fo forward thie ides, 33/PC

[13092]odtaining RYB's cooperation. Hr. Thompeon later informed this diviston
[13093]that o Mr. Phenix of 37% agreed to the contractual relationship proposal,
[13094]Dut wished 1¢ made glear that RYH would act give cover to Lanéowski in the
[13095]guico of & rogular RYB employee. This was understood and agreed to by this
[13096]office.
[13098]b, Durtng Landowski's covert trataing ta Vaehiagton, 1n July and
[13099]August, the Comercial Division was coneulted regardiag the various aspects
[13100]of creating a fictitious corporation, Burepo Yews Serviso, along the lines .
[13101]outlined above. Tho diffleultice of legal tacorporation and of maintaining
[13102]plausible US headquarters for such a firm, socording to the Comercial
[13104]. Myfaton, made thie inadvieable. It was therefore decided, after consulta=
[13105]tion with the Legal Division, that a pareonal contract botweon Landowaki,
[13106]supposedly representing the “Huropp Bewe Service,” and RYE would be sufficient
[13107]and would obviate the risks of building a aover firm out of nothing.
[13108]§. Dartng a orief conversation between Mr. Lang of BFE and dE/PO"s
[13109]ease officer for the Landowsk! matter, the following points were covered:
[13110]Nr. Lang was partionlarly intorosted in waethor Landowakt could actually
[13111]provide useful material te RFX, and wae told that this was the case. Mrs .
[13112]lang said tho desired contract could be arranged serely by his requesting
[13113]4% at an Exesutive Comalttee mooting of HCH. Ina ancver to an inquiry, Mr.
[13114]> Lang said no standard RFF contract form oxteted, Yat that in draving the
[13115]Landewaki contrast he vould wee the nonconaittal phrasing of the BF3/Pree
[13116]Federation of Journalists contract, ia water a definite monthly payment vas
[13117]stipulated without any mention of specific retaras fros VFS (which, My. Lang

[13132]accounting mechanism was secure enough to permit Large ($1000) monthly
[13134]payments to Landowski without questioning tho oxtent of his services. Mt.
[13135]Lang otated that there was no ascurity risk from RFE's internal acoounting
[13136]or contrasting procedure. Ho then mentioned that RiE planned to send one
[13137]of their own caployess to Athons later, probably "around the end of the
[13138]year." Although surprised, since this plan had not beon mentioned to Hrs
[13139]Thompson by Hr. Phenix during the original discussion of landowski in July,
[13140]the ense officer 6f6 not go further into this, feeling that landowaki would
[13141]have three months to eotsdlish hie cover in Athena prior to the arrival of
[13142]tho RYB waa.
[13144]6. In accoréance vith arrangements made with Hr. Lang, Landewaki
[13146]wae inetrveted to report in Xew York for a week's briefing in RFS affairs,
[13147]and on 24 Septeubder called at RYE's offices and anked for Mr, Lang'a

[13149]was not familiar with Landowski's background and standing with RFE, had
[13151]arranged no training for him, know of no contract, and wae hinself busy
[13153]with proparations for a trip to Burepe, Upan recetying this informtion in
[13155]a@ phone call fron landovski, the divieton requested Mr, Lasarus of PY te
[13156]phone BYE and inquire into the, atatas of the sontrast, and to urge that a

[13176]waa in Yachineston for debriefizg. anf wovld be available for a fow minutes
[13177]@iacussion relative to Inndowsk$. Ino this discussion Mr. Sparling advised
[13178]that Hr. Rarpft, tho regular B73 employes mentioned by Hr. Lang ao cotng
[13179]to Greece “aromé the end of the year," was actually lenving in a wook.
[13181]As thia woule of course make {¢ pore c1ffienls 12 bot Iepesaible for Landowaki
[13182]to explain his activities, on ezriving In Athens several weeko after Kampft
[13183]had tnatalled Aimeelf as the KFE representative, the cass officer protested
[13184]that thie waa counter to tre spirit of tho existing sgreement. Hr. Sperling,
[13185]however, said the Bampft asstrzment to Greece had bean plannod a year carlier,
[13186]and that it waa not possible to chence 1t. Hw «ded that he would help
[13187]Landowaki in every possible wey, nowever, and asked that Landowakd visit his
[13188]office in Faunich prior te startice work in Athens, for a thorouch grounding
[13190]in BFR"s Buropean procrasmsing creretionn.
[13192]6. at this potat, the question of Landoveli'a cover was carefully

[13198]through the division's channel te x75 (Fr. Iazarus), the withdrawal of tho

[13216]found that Ranpft vas already there, contrary to the above underotanding.
[13217]Landowekd cansequently found himself obliged to justify his position, and
[13218]particularly his requests for access to refugees, as Rampft had already
[13219]prosonted his credentials to the Greek authorities, the Awerican Embaasy,
[13220]the Anorioon wilitary authorities, and tne international press reprecenta=
[13221]tives in ‘Atheas.2 Landowski flew to Munich to ‘confor with ta. Sperling,
[13222]who in an effort ta resolve the probles, suggas ted that Landowek! change
[13224]the name of his supposed fira from “Luroge Hews Service” to "Radia Hewa
[13226]_ and Recording Service” and that he specialize in wire recordings of
[13228]refugeo interviews. A new contract was therefore ¢rawn in Minich, uelng
[13229]the ougosted title.
[13231]10. On 13 Ostober a cable was received from Mr. Wisner in Athens rela
[13232]tive to Rampfi'a presence there, This cable (I¥ 35284), for relay to Mr.
[13233]Jackson of BUYS and Ar. Lang of RYE, stated that the Athons station was
[13234]concerned lest Eamft prove as troublesoze ag one Ira Hamilton in Turkay.
[13235]On the sano dats an Ope Athens cadlo (14 34940) inquired if fampft vero

[13244]boatility between the cra, tis johnny-com-lately atatus of Landowaki con-
[13245]trasted to Hamft's prior arrival, and the MA's own reluctance to agree to
[13246]Lendowski's access to refugees in the face of Hampft's attitude and the
[13247]apparent lack of offictal sponsorship for lanéowski.

[13259]and stating that, if a permanent HVE repraseatative were actually necaseary
[13261]aa Athéns, 1% should be soreone other than Rampft, who was reportedly lack
[13263]fog in security eonse and said to be a heavy drinker. Through the case
[13265]officer assigned to this mtter, this division thereupon requested hr.
[13267]Braden's belp in learning from BYS how mich Rampft knew of Landoweki 's

[13427]is Czechoslovakia. We can go into Poland and Hungary somewhat lesc efficiently:
[13428]If Hungary should be the target, we will precumatily still havo the problem of ie

[13433]We need an abgolute minimum of threa sonths to prepare a balloon operation; ut

[13435]country is perhaps of some slight additional desirability from the psycho- y
[13436]logical point of view. It is, however, not essential. From the point of cae
[13437]view of our campaign schedule, an initial launching date of about August J “Y
[13438]20th would be ideal. This would allow tie story on the operation and its |
[13439]effect to become known at the opening of our September campaign. a ees
[13441]We have in storage in Munich 50,000 packazes (of two each) of razor blades, Ly -
[13442]100,000 zippers, 72,000 packets of needles (five to the packet), and 150,000 ¢ x
[13443]cakes of soap (1/2, 3/4 and one ounce sizes). All of the above except a
[13444]needles were donations to the Crusade, and the needles were at cost. Ws: A
[13445]have had to tell Gillette and Talan twice (at Christmas and at Faster) that bes.
[13446]the operation for which they supplied their products had been delayed. We © Aad
[13447]should very much regret having to do thiz again. ve

[13449]I do not know what keeps putting this off the track. It is my information o Le
[13450]that the boys in the big house were initially enthuslastic about the idea, +” we
[13451]and the record will show that Aubassador Priggs thought it most valuable ¥ aw

[13454]RAGe
[13455]I would appreciate your getting us as soon as possible a positive ard (oarring 222"
[13456]an act of God) irrevocable approval for a tallvon operation into a specified,
[13457]target country at a certain date, with agreement in principal on the nature
[13458]of the operation =- 1.e.; of an order of magnitude of 60,000 to 75,000

[13460]To repeat, by far the best target is Czectoslovakia; our preferred dates ©) +..00-
[13462]4 : around August 20th.
[13464]Let us not make this approval in principle (with firm date and target)
[13465]contingent on a budget, except in a general way. With an approval in hand,
[13466]we can proceed with plans and supply a fairly accurate budget, which will
[13467]depend somewhat on such things as whether we can use the P-20 balloons on

[13660]people. If Mr. Dulles 18 coing I should prefer to drop out. A
[13661]further reason for reluctance cn my part to athend this meeting is
[13662]that I have alrcady passed on to the NCFE people interestcd all of

[14064]Tho Punctdone of RCFE and RFU
[14066]In our emertence whith NOPE and RFE two interpretations of their
[14067]functions, between whites the pondulwa swinge from time to tise, have
[14069]dovelopad. One which Lu set forth in the wsper in the 2i2cLon of
[14071]-HCPE and RFE, pives divnity and importance to tie Nationa: Guncils as
[14073]the leadorship orsans of the sastorn Guropian peoples in tueir strugyle
[14074]arainst the respective Communist dictatorsuip. and defines we principal
[14075]funetion of HPE as providing a way of communication between taese :
[14076]councils and the nonelands in conducting tue Liberation etr-egrle. In
[14077]the other view, which tends to rovern RFE operations ab the precent
[14078]time, the hfA 45 apparantly considered a nredomtnantly Averiean
[14079]enterprisa wita the objective of achieving a bigeor, hetter, sore hard-
[14080]hitting, and more publicized prevaranda prorsran than the 714 Lut not
[14081]differtne funiamentally from the character and course that JOA has
[14082]already marked out. ‘The latter interpretation reduces tie position of
[14083]extles connectyd with the RFE to that of orofesuional expinyess engared
[14084]uy tho Americans, and tho flational Councils are given a cleeet
[14086]responsLbiiitles,.
[14088]As between thece two theses, “" agrees senerally wits. we first.
[14089]If RF ecntinues alony its present course it will in cur opinion btecane
[14090]in the end simply another VCA (in fact the provraniing of une two
[14091]organizations tends already to seek a comson Cenominator) end disappoint
[14092]the exiles and tne peoples in their homelands. This will leat to
[14093]competitive issues with VOA as is already tne case wlta tre caltle
[14094]lanruare programs, If RFE is to achieve its fLret promise anc full
[14095]dustification it must become the Voice of hast:rn hLuropean freedom
[14096]speaking throurh tne moutns of the Eastern “.uropean leaders t.emeelves.
[14098]EE believes that unless the } broadcasts are made in tne name
[14100]of the ‘ational Councils and the free oxile lewiers of tastern Turope
[14101]Nati
[14103]can sneak rerularly to thelr people by tis medium the Naticnal

[14107]‘important funetions, whil preoceury toemselveas wile sterile cvartisan

[14192]Tse strongest foree in inducing the national exile froups to pull
[14193]thenselves together inte some kind of unified and active councils may
[14194]well be our insistence that until they do so they will not become :
[14195]elirible to take over the proposed RFE responsibilities. If one

[14197]an incentive to the cuicrs without our intorvention to put thanselves

[14331]INTRODUCTORY HISTORY
[14333]A.
[14335]Formative Stage
[14337]At its incuption, the National Committees for a Froa Europe
[14338]believes that its Iron Curtain broadcasting operation, Ratio Free
[14339]Europa, could and should bo developad and pursued through the medium
[14340]of "National Councils” or "Committees of Liberation” composed of
[14341]exile groves from tho targot oountries, It wus considored that
[14342]prominen: exile leaders and personalities of each nstionality group
[14343]could express to their captive countrymen, entirely without American
[14344]Advice asd guidanco, the message af hops whieh NCFS proposed to sond.
[14346]This caacert was not fulfilled. Experience in attempting to weld 6.

[14351]operation early demonatrated that without Ansriean control tie mission
[14352]of RFE would de lost in the jungle of oxileeworld politicos, Lt soon

[14369]Since tho advert of KFE was the most important development
[14370]affecting tho oxiios whieh hed occurred since their flight from hone,
[14371]they quickly undoratcod asd applauded its imzlications and potential
[14372]effect on their futures. Through thie tratrument they could once
[14373]again became prominent and powerful in the effairs of the homoland;
[14375]once more they could conten? for place and powor,
[14377]Selection of personnel for the purpose at hand quickly became
[14378]a political football of rivel leaders, perzonalities, and groups.
[14379]Rightists, Leftistso, Centriste, Labor Zlesents, and Splinter-grougs
[14380]argued with us for advancezent of their particular personal or political
[14382]views. Sponsorship of their own adherents &s RFE employees through whom
[14384]such views would be broaccaxt to their captive countrymen became the
[14385]pattern of their pseudo couperation. This pattern was followed to such
[14386]an oxtent thet ordinary progress and senelule development of our basic
[14387]purpose of truly free oroadcaste under exile con'.rol soon appeared to
[14388]be not only impracticable, but dangerous, For example, the National
[14389]CounclIs Division attempted to inaugurate troadcasts to Czechoslovakia
[14390]under the auspioes of a Czecheslovak National Council. The Council was
[14391]and is mado up of oxile persoralities of differing political views and
[14392]parties. Its factions preceeded to engage in endless disputes and ire
[14394]recencilatle olaims far ecatrol of seript preduction and program ecntent.

[14400]14-0000
[14402]p
[14404]sought that objective, while Czechs desired opposite views to be aired
[14406]and adseceted the rebirth of proswar Csechoslovakia. Each group sponsored
[14407]and insisted upon employment of its own more or leas qualified adherents
[14408]wpoo the sseumption that its special views would be thereby expressed
[14410]te the captive Czochoslovak audiexce of RFE. Similar activities wore
[14411]pursusd by Hungarians, Bulgarians, and Poles until the futility of per-
[14412]mitting the exile Counoila te control the destiny and broaduasting
[14413]policies of RFE was made clear beyond refutation, It became tragically
[14415]abviouvs thet uncontrolled exile-werld Counoiis and profussional poli
[14417]ticiass could not agree on personnel selection or program content.
[14419]In spite of every effort to induce harmony in and obtain proper
[14421]@ocperation from the *Counoils", "Committoes", and tndividuals, RFE was
[14423]eoanfrested with an impasse. The ulternative theory and present polioy
[14425]af Awerican selection of non-political exilo personnel was the only way ..
[14426]out. It has worked. Technically qualified personnel produce properly
[14427]oriented programs =- and have been doing so with documentod success
[14429]since July, 1950. Disappointed exile politicians, professional exile
[14430]eaxnp follewrers, disturbed Arerican special pleadera, and alaracd Gosmuniat
[14432]agents a1] scream, snipe and snive!l -- but RFE programs ure doing the job.
[14434]NCFESRFE records of this stage can be supplied by Frederic R.
[14436]Delbeare, Vico-President, National Councils Division, and Robert E. Lang,
[14438]Director, EFE. The current policy has the complete endorsement of these
[14440]officers and of the Board of Directors of NCFE.

[14449]Development Stage
[14451]Upon the collapse of the original concept of broadcasting under
[14452]exile auspices, RFZ necessurily utilized sons exile personne! endeursod
[14453]and recommended by the lasders of the various nationality groups, As
[14455]technical radio facilities came inte being, exilas with radio background
[14456]or writing talont wers required for the production of programs. This .
[14458]involved using individuals eminently qualified by oxperionce to do a
[14460]radio job of script writing, announcing, acting, etc., without regard
[14462]for the fact that such indi viduala might ba porauna non grata wit one
[14463]or another political faction or lesder of an oxile "Council". It also
[14464]involved elimination of proven inefficlant, inept or unworthy individuals
[14465]without regard for their exile “Council” sponsorship. in either instance
[14467]eritioiam of RFE was predicteble and indeed was alwaya forthcoming <-«
[14469]often in viruleat and dishenest form.
[14471]Tho day to dey operation of BFZ developed new techniques and
[14472]long range plans which made it impossible ta euploy non-entities of no
[14473]polition! color or conviction. The best people to produco programs in
[14474]harmony with NCFE-RPE purgoses and policies necessarily were persons
[14475]know in their own countries for tneir views on domostio political af-~
[14476]fairs and their antiqeComnunist activitios. Lardehitting propaganda
[14477]required hardehitting personalities wiose know: association with RPE
[14478]and ita programs would add validity and significance for our captive
[14479]eudiences. Gradually, therefore, the nationality desks of RFE at Kew
[14481]York and Munich wero staffed with tested, qualified axiles who had been
[14485]14-0000
[14488]identified publicly with domastic political philosophies at iosue in
[14489]thelr own countrios. Many, in toct, most of the staff people are con=
[14490]troversial Cigures amang their own countrymen in oxactly the samo way
[14491]that prominent Americans ars controversial in our political arena. Many
[14492]indaed oro mombers of the CouretLin, but tre mon of auffielent stature
[14493]to give their primary allegiance to the non-partisan policy of RFE. The
[14495]“decisive factor is thut tinre be no controversy or quostion about thelr
[14497]anti-Communist convictions aad records.
[14499]were ote
[14501]At this point, 1¢ muet be noted that our target countries have
[14502]bean subject to repetitive political ferment prior to and following
[14504]World Wer If, as woll as the sucesssive occupations of Nazi and Communist
[14505]Armies.
[14507]The tempor of the times, therefore, in which these exiles have
[14509]lived for the past fifteen years has been one of excitement, bitterness,
[14510]recrimination, rivalries, 8nd personal turmoil -- all stemming from both
[14511]domestio and foreign struggles for power. The times have produced a
[14512]bumper crop of refugee traitors, collaborators, and opportunists and at
[14513]the same time have developed pure Westera style damocorsts, true national
[14514]patriots, and unselfis!: honest men. Tho exile who stood by placidly
[14515]through the era is not much good, howevor talented, as a militant messen-
[14516]gor of hope via RFE; exiles who were honorably active in public affairs
[14518]at home, and who had radio talont were, therefore, the only kind of
[14520]personnel suitable for RFE purposes.
[14522]As the necessity for American operational control of nationality
[14524]desks becane solf-evident, tie only feasible personnel policy was ta
[14526]14-0000
[14528]C.
[14532]employ properly qualified individuals, regardless of exile polities.
[14534]In the execution of this pollsy individuals wie ware useles8’ were
[14535]eliminated without regard for political sponsors. This process still
[14536]goes one Similarly, talented exile personalities recruited from any
[14537]sourca wore omp loyed whorover neadod. This procass still goes one
[14539]Both processes are in vogue with a healthy disregard for exile pulitical
[14540]nuances and protests, Noithor process is satisfactory to self-styled
[14541]exile leaders sinoe it follows that the appointment of an individual
[14542]sponsored by one faction as a ropresentative of its views, inevitably
[14543]will ovoke howls of rage and criticism from the opposite faction. This
[14545]is an accepted fact of exile life. We have to live with it and got on
[14547]with the job.
[14549]Summary
[14551]Our formative and development experiences evolved the present
[14553]and continuing exile personnel policies of RFZ. Exile deak employees,
[14555]whether at New York or Munich, must respond to three tasts;
[14556](0) Security clvarance,
[14557](b) Endorsement of technical profictency,
[14559](c) Sufficient stature to eliminate exile partisan
[14560]interssts from program content.

[14564]CRITERIA AND METHODS OF PERSONYEL SZLECTION
[14566]Recruitment -~ General Princi ples
[14568]The best source of exile personnel is referral by “non-
[14570]professional” exiles themselves. Auong 1) nationalitios there are
[14574]14-0000
[14576]Be
[14578]many talented refugees who need employment and who can supply RFS's
[14579]neei for script writers, actors, announcers, ete. Accordingly, desk
[14580]staffing has been accomplished by examining the qualifications of duly
[14581]recomnonded individuals, whether the recomzendations come from political
[14582]personalities or othorwise. Selection is based on the ability of the
[14583]individual to fill a need efficiently in turning out or participating
[14584]in planned programs. Recruitment Ls doturmined only by ideological
[14585]security, independence of exile politics, and personal ability. This
[14586]is not to say that many individual exiles having decided personal can=
[14587]victions aud well-knom political records are not employed, but a
[14588]positive statement is made that those exile employees who now produse
[14589]RFE programs reflect the policies and guidance of RFE rather than pro-
[14591]motion of partisan objectives and personalities.
[14593]Recruitment -- Detailed Procedures
[14595]The personnel complement of each RF nationality desk is
[14596]founded on a hard core of dependable individuals, usually two or three
[14597]people, including the chief of the desk. “Dependability™ is established
[14598]by exhaustive inguiry at all available sources to establish the desir-
[14599]ability, reliability, technical proficiency and security of the working
[14601]cora of the desk. Sources usad are;
[14603](a) Exile political personalities in the United States,
[14605](>) Exile references of nigh standing and knom im-
[14606]partiality in the United States and Overseas,
[14608](ce) Overseas contacts and personal knowledge of our
[14609]American representative in Europe. (Royall Tyler-Paris),
[14611](d) Checks and balances of our political advisor at
[14612]Munich (W. E. Griffith),

[14617]pec ewe en et aN NN CEN NN AOL ASN Ra NR ent ke ted Tit ete rn
[14620](e) British Broadcasting Corporation, where applicable,
[14622](f) Voice of America, whery applicable,
[14623]~ (g) Special confidential sources.
[14625]Theso tests having been applied, confidence is placed in these
[14626]initial personalities, and particularly in tha Doak Chief, to cafry
[14627]forward recruitment of additional personnel as needed in collaboration '
[14628]with the American Director of RFE (Robort E. Lang, New York ), and his
[14629]associate officials. The leading personalities of each desk know what
[14630]ia expected of them and sinca they respond to tho established oriteria,
[14631]tne resulting full personnel complement is a group of exiles who, not-
[14632]with standing their personal political views, are suitable and capable :
[14633]prograg production people. They meet our basic requirement of daily
[14634]production of truly free and properly constructed propaganda broadcasts
[14636]I cezpable of avnking the widest possible audience response in our target
[14638]countries.
[14640]In brief, the mission of RFE being conceived as a marketing
[14641]problex, the best available salesmen are procured, trained, and utilized
[14643]to sell tne market.
[14645]©. kecruitment =- Special Security Meusures ‘a
[14647]Since RFE, although a private enterprise, is by extension a
[14648]ecllateral instrument of American national policy, special precaution
[14649]is exercised to insure the ideological security of all employees, in=
[14651]cluding exiles. In the case of exile personnel specifically, the
[14654]Tenon0e ee ce me mere ee a ri scene Ml ato ART RANE IDI SSR AL LI A on ot RAL ALAS wh TAO cco Oe
[14658]additional approval of tho Personnel Director of NCFE is required before
[14659]employment, either at New Yorx or Munich. Thus, sven if a proposed
[14661]exile employee megts all the described oriteria ho may not be employed
[14663]without this ultimate approval. c
[14665]The Personnel Director of NCFE utilizes appropriate and de-
[14666]pondable sources of information to determine the acceptabllity of
[14667]porsonnel from a seourity standpoint. His sources are investigative in
[14668]nature and are conclusive os to the ideological record and security
[14669]acceptability of tho proposed employee. In doubtful casda the Personnel i
[14670]Director consults with the Vice-President in Charge of tho National
[14671]Councils Division and with the Director of Radio Free Europe. These
[14672]three officers of NCFE Jointly follow a policy of rejecting candidates
[14673]about whom there ia the slightast doubt. It is to ba clearly understood
[14674]that in making decisions of this kind the conflicting interests and
[14676]frantic representations of palitically minded exile leaders and groups
[14678]are ignored. Acceptance or rejection of candidates is wholly based on
[14680]ideclogical security and talent value.
[14682]D. Summary
[14684](1) All nationality desks of RFE at New York and Municn are .
[14686]staffed by individuals who hava passed all tests described AbOVI.
[14688](2) All programs produced and aired by tho nationality desks
[14689]are checked and scrutinized by American supervisory personnel for .idsolog-
[14691]ical content, audience Acceptance and conformity to basic NCFE-RFE policies.
[14693](3) These conditions have been progressively in force since

[14716]position and policy of RFE on covery topic beamed to our target countries.
[14717]Tho manual is the daily guidance of all employoecs, both Anerican and
[14718]Exile, doviation from its rules ia not permitted. Continuous scrutiny
[14720]of nanuscripts and resultant broadcests is maintuinad by American em
[14722]ployoos to insure that there are no deviations.
[14724]‘Tho policy manual of RFE reprecents the considored views of
[14725]the responsible officials, including the Board of Directors, of NCFE.
[14726]It ts a atatonent of the principies end purposes of NCFE expressed in
[14727]operational form. It 43 considered and maintained as a atrictly con-
[14729]ficential document, but it is of course availablo for examination by any
[14731]proper authority.
[14733]fhe policy manual is in strict conformity with current American

[14768]RFE Policy Defined by lundbook (Direct Quatstiona)
[14770]1, Tho purpose of RFK is to contribute to the liberation of
[14771]the Nations imerisoned bohind tho Iron Curtain by sustaining their
[14772]morale and stimulating in thom a spirit of non-ooopcration with the
[14774]Soviot-dominated regimes by which thoy are, for tho timo belng, ruled. i
[14776]2. The central characteriztic of RFE is that it ia the in-
[14777]strumont. of men who ure engaoyod in fighting for freedom and justice.
[14778]As such, it oncourages resistance to every tyrant, great and small, in
[14779]the countries it addresses, Its speakers speak see an man of good will
[14780]who seek to contribute to the elimination of old enmities and the
[14782]building ef an enduring European domocratic order.
[14784]3. As a freo forun in which exiles speak to their own people
[14785]RFE is particularly dedicated to arguments by which exiles seek to
[14786]persuade their listeners of the all devouring ambitions of Soviet
[14788]Imperialism, the cruelty and unworkability of Communist Institutions

[14799]and the proven advanteges of the dezocratic way of life for the worker,
[14801]the peasant, the administrator, and the business and professional
[14803]strata of society.
[14805]4. RFE tékes counsel with exile leaders and is respectful
[14806]of their views, but its policy is not designed to furthor tho aspira-
[14808]tions of any single exile leader or party.
[14810]5. HFE policy is further based upon acceptance of the prin-
[14811]ciple that oach of the liberated pecples shall be free to determine
[14813]for itself the political and social institutions under whioh Jt will
[14815]live once it has been Mberated,
[14817]6, Finally, the following summary in tho nature of a spucific
[14819]“limitation on program oontent is quoted,
[14821]"It fe indispensable that all concerned grasp clearly
[14822]that RFE is a multienational station established to
[14823]contribute to the liberation of all the peoples it
[14824]addresses, and not rerely of one of those peoples.
[14825]RFE policy is therefore commanded by the Limitation
[14826]that nothing may be said over ita fucilities to one
[14827]national audience which will destroy the confidence
[14828]in RFE of ita other audiences or whioh is likely to
[14829]induce any of its audiences to:frefer communist rule

[15367]Dear Olivers
[15369]Wearing my Crusade hat at this jincture, let me fill you in as best I can on
[15370]the history and development of the Crusade operating budget. This is no mean
[15371]job, since practically all of the transacticns concerning it were verbal —
[15372]a situation I hope to correct in the future, starting now. So here goes. I
[15373]will make the special budget the subject of a separate letter.
[15375]In December, Abbott got the General's verbal ‘approval of a Crusade budget for
[15377]1952 of approximately $1,000,000 if Abbott would stay on. Sefore any progress
[15378]toward firming up this commitment had been made, difficulties arose in connection
[15379]with our position vis a vis VOA. On Janusry 17th, CD and Abbott met with everyone
[15380]concerned in the problea in Ed Barrett's office. Out of this meeting came general
[15381]agreement that the 1952 Crusade program shculd be considerably reduced in scope,
[15382]which waa duly reported to the Crusade Board the following day. Allen instructed
[15383]Abbott to draw up a proposed budget for samething under §500,000, This Abbott
[15384]did under date of Jamary 2lst and transaitted it to Allen with a letter dated
[15386]Jamuary 23rd. : .
[15388]The budget submitted, which I believe is in your hands, amounted to 288,991,
[15389]covering the eleven months from February Ist to December 3lst, 1952. (The
[15390]Crusadé had meanwhile received on January lth, on special request, funds covering
[15392]the months of December and Jamary.)
[15394]-. It was initially contemplated that the total sum of $483,991 should be transferred
[15395]to the Crusade in a lump. It then develcped that because of fiscal year problems
[15396]five-elevenths, or 222,270, would be transferred immediately.
[15398]Within a week or so from January 23rd, Abbott received telephonic approval froa
[15399]Allen of the $84,991 over-all, with $222,270 to be transferred in a lump sun.
[15401]Early in February, Crusade was advised it would be more convenient for you to
[15402]transfer just the February allotment and postpone the lizp sum rayzent until
[15403]March. On advice, we therefore made formal request for $11,154 fer February on
[15404]February 19th. This payment was received ty us on March 3rd. It is the cnly
[15405]installment we have received against the total (eleven-month) Crusade 1952 budget.
[15406]During ny trip before last, I receivec verbal reassurance tat the balance of
[15408]the five-month figure would be forthcoming. This then is to urge you to put
[15410]this in line for attention as soon as possible.
[15412]To recapitulate, this is a request specifically for $177,616, representing
[15413]$hh,L5) a month for March, April, May, and June.
[15415]Sincerely yours,

[15424]Dear Oliver:
[15426]This is an attempt to give you the background of our special ZASY BAYER budget.
[15427]This is the balloon project, initiated last fall after the first Winds of Freedon
[15428]one and scheduled for Christmastine. It was then know as Santa Clave or SUGAR
[15429]CHARLIE. After definite cancelation for Christmas and postpcnement to Easter,
[15430]it became known in our accounts as Zester Bunny or EASY BAKER.
[15432]In a menorandum to John Danewood, cated-Lecember 5, 1951, Abzott said: “Attached,
[15433]also, is request to cover costs of orération Santa Claus to date. Except for —
[15434]some continuing preparations in the field, this too is being xept on ice pending
[15435]further word fran you. You will recall that AWD authorized the purchase of
[15436]vehicles, etc., at our conference in his office in October. We estimated at
[15437]that time that the total project would rim approximately $175,000."
[15439]Formal request to the Foundation for the $51,500 was made Jarmary 3rd, together
[15440]with request for December and Jamiary operating expenses. All these sums were
[15441]received by Crusade January 10th.
[15443]On one of Abbott's January or February trips to your city, he received a promise
[15445]-to transfer to us the balance of the EASY PAKER budget ($123,500). I would
[15446]strongly recommend that this would be the neatest way of handling this account, VA
[15447]We naturally keep separate accounting for this budget and could give you an
[15448]accounting to date at any time on request. To make such a transfer now would
[15450]also enable you to dispose of this ouczet in your current fiecal year, in which
[15452]an allocation for it has presumably teen made.
[15454]I should perhaps set down for tke record that it cannot be guaranteed that an
[15456]EASY BAKER type operation, when anc if it should be definitely put on the schedule,
[15457]can be carried off for the original budget of $175,000. There are too many
[15458]variables. And, while the major part of the budget spent or to be spent goes
[15460]for quasi capital equipment, some of it goes or will go for expendable operation
[15461](publicity, communications, anc the like) wich would have to ce repeated in
[15462]conrection with another balloon cperation.
[15464]Attached is a schecule of expenses ond caunitments as of March zlet azainst
[15465]the EASY BAKER budget. From this ycu will see that we have Lad to use general
[15466]-_ operating funds of about $21,000 for LASY BAKER as of that date. A rough estimate
[15467]' ‘of additional costs of- the prayer operation, which belongs to ZASY =AYES, is
[15468]$9,500. (I also attach for your irfcrmation @ mimeographed report indicating
[15469]the acceptance of the prayer operaticn among the churches.)
[15471]' ' To recapitulate, this is a request for transfer of the balance of ¢123,500 of
[15472]the EASY BAKER special budget.

[16520]MEMORANDUM FORs SPC /
[16521]SULJECTs Leaflot Balloons for use in Paychological Warfare
[16523]1. On at least four occasions Mr. William Scriprs, Detroit News,
[16524]directly or indirectly has approached the Government with proposals for
[16525]utilization of balloons for psychological warfare, Following is a list
[16526]of tho dates and method of those approachess
[16528]@. 12 October 1950 - Letter from General W. J. Donovan to DCI
[16529]enclosing “Operation Ballast." ‘On 1 Novenber 1950 Wiliam H. Jackson
[16530]responded to this memorandum to the effect that this suggested opera-
[16531]tion was being referred to’ the appropriate parsons and suggesting a
[16532]subsequent meeting with Donovan to discuss this and other matters,
[16534]be In November 1950 as we were undertaking planning for develop-
[16535]ment of balloons with General Mills, we were informed that Mr. Scripps
[16536]planned a general meeting to be held in Washington to discuss balloons,
[16537]Through tho Genoral Mills Washington Representative Mr. soripps was
[16538]persuaded to keep his meeting general and was inforwed that the various
[16539]agencies of the Government had the matter under consideration and
[16540]considered that it would not be in the public interest at this time
[16541]to disclose the nature of their findings, Consequently, Mr. Scripps
[16542]forwarded us on 1 December 1950 a proposal "The Usa of Free Balloons
[16543]for Load Carrying Purposes" which we acknowledged on 11 December 1950,
[16545]e. On December 26, 1950 General Smith received a letter from
[16546]Blair Moody sumaariaing a suggestion from Mr. William Scrippa for
[16547]encouraging defection of Chinese Communist troops, A routine response
[16548]to his letter was sent 6 Jamary 1951 frem Mr. Jackson. I believe
[16549]also Mr, Moody called upon the Director in early Februsry of 1951 to
[16550]discuss use of balloons for psychological warfare. AFC addressed a
[16551]briefing memorandum to DCI on 12 February 1951, Subjs Balloons for
[16552]Carrying PW Material to Soviet Areas,
[16554]2. In Septembor 1950 the NPSB requested that Cla should represent all
[16555]interested agencies of this Government and should acooniingly take steps
[16556]to develop, procure and atockpile an appropriate number of scientifically
[16557]designed balloons for future propaganda use in conditions of international
[16558]emergency, At meetinzs of the NPSB on 13 February 1951 and 12 June 1951
[16559]it was agreed that OP€ would procure and stockpile 1,000 large leaflet
[16560]balloons for use by tho appropriate agency when and if such use vas
[16561]authorized, The Board also agreed that inquiries which the various govern-
[16563]mental agencies

[16570]Br
[16572]~ RE TAL ~,
[16574]ala
[16576], mental agencies might receive concerning use of balloons would be answered,
[16578]to the effoct"that the matter is under continuous study by agencies of the
[16579]Government but disclosure of results at this time would not be in the public
[16581]interest,"
[16582]3- A perusal of tho NP3B minutes since June 195] did not inticate
[16584]further consideration by that group of the subject of balloons. from this
[16585]we must infer that CIA still beara the responalbility of the commitment
[16587]made by Mr. Wienor for procurement.
[16589]4 For your information this research and devolopment has been con=
[16590]ducted for CIA by General Milla with ONR serving as the cut-out. An oxisting
[16592]' project "Skyhook" which ONR had with General Millis was accelerated to cover
[16594]development of Leeks balloons continued along with ONR's program of comic
[16595]ray research. We/obligated to ONR to deny a newspaper acceas to those
[16596]drawings, specifications, movies and reporta which bear a SECRET classification.
[16598]5. I might make one small suggestion that since Mr. Blair Moody is
[16599]now a Senator and running for re-election in the next election, 1t might be
[16600]posslble to solicite hia aid in bringing Mr. Scripps in line witb adopted
[16601]policy regarding balloons should it become necessary.

[16668]300 pounds great distances. On discussion, it appeared that ho was in- —

[16742]policy toward Iron Curtain countries, with particular emphasis upon
[16743]What now lines, if any, tadio freo Europe chould take. ‘tho background
[16744]of this, aceonting to Admiral Miller, fs thet Lany and others within

[16963]° Dear Nint
[16965]A little ineldont has caused a bit of trouble and a flurry of
[16966]eatles here that I think you can correct very quickly. Spencer
[16967]Poenix's aselstant, Mr. Hiller, has written to Leon Dennen telling
[16968]Dennen that Miller has been called in by our chop and questioned in
[16969]detail about recent Dennen accounting.
[16971]hhether or not he was questioned in detail is a matter on which ~
[16972]be and I might disagree tut 1s really of mo conesquence since tho
[16973]accounting by Dennen should normally go through us to Miller, and I
[16974]think you would agree that we nad a right to aek questions, about it.
[16975]What bothers me a little, however, is Miller's writing to Dennen,
[16976]giving details of how our two offices work together. Dennen, Lt
[16977]turns out, wae annoyed ty the content of Aliler's letter, rot so
[16978]mech at Hiller as at us. His aniwyance 1s misplaced but if there
[16979]had been no mention ty Killer of detsils of our relationship there
[16980]would have been no annoyance.
[16982]. I presme you know of Pennen'a close affiliation with Leveatone
[16983]and the possibility that this mall thing will reverberate around
[16984]and around the usual vicious elrele. Can you explain to Xilver how
[16985]these little incidents can get blown up iato big iesues and ask hin
[16986]to usa a little more diseretion in tna future?

[17187]“'r
[17189]Dear Bob,
[17191]I have not done much reporting on cur Gerven
[17192]negotiations: for several reasons; first, there was not
[17193]much to report and, second, whatever thare was Dick Condon
[17194]uncertook to forward from Munich. I did vrite C.D, a
[17195]couple of letters cutlining our delaya and sone of our une
[17196]cartainties, and last week I cabled him that J would send
[17197]a nore detailed narrative when I got to Paris. As he is
[17198]now technically | no lenger President of NCFE, and a2. Admiral
[17199]Miller may not have teen completely inforaed of all thatw
[17200]are trying to do, Tax addressing this to you, with enpy to
[17202]@ach of thams,
[17204]‘nm the first place, let me say that progress
[17205]during the last half of last veok was surprisinsly speedy
[17206]and encouraging. There are stil! ‘any opportunities for
[17207]the well known "slip 'twixt the cup and the lip?, and local
[17208]Gerran political considerations coulec raar their’ ugly heads
[17209]at any woment. J think it must also be understood that, as
[17210]Dick Condon puts it, no natter now many nor how good written
[17211]agroe-ents we may ‘have covering our operstions, the whole
[17212]RFE enterprise in Ger-anywill have tu be played pretty much
[17214]by ear once the contractual agreements take effect, I rerurd
[17215]this, however, as an inescapable risk, and [ sentitn it now
[17216]only to etphagize tha parstount Impertance of the utzost care
[17217]in programming and in eccndiet to «vol.' a doror which could
[17218]upsat our entire azple-cart, The very ravarable repert ebich
[17219]your frriend Asher Lee made after his hurried Inspe-tion of
[17220]Munich underlines tn= need for regular spot check on program
[17221]output to avoid howlers, and the nee: for this once our
[17222]relationship wit! tne Ger.ens 4s ne longer through the Occu-
[17224]pation Authorities or HICOG is even core inperative,
[17226]Dick Condon s-nt you from Munich the text of the
[17227]proposed Suncespost license which ve a recd on with Dr,
[17228]Schuster on Fo: rucry 19, 1952, and this should long since

[17257]fortunately able to persuade the Foratin Office officials
[17258]that auch a provision hud no technieczl place in tho liconse,
[17259]ang tnrat whatever shoule bea seid on tne subject should be

[17261]the Yoreiiin Office and ‘ourselves, Accordingly, Article JY
[17263]. nev contains but on: clause,
[17265]2) Question was reioud by the Poreten office
[17267]officials at Bonn recarding the largeth of tho
[17268]license. Thetext Dick sent you provides for validity until
[17269]August 31, 1960, The reason J] chose that cate wes that it is
[17270]the expiration date of our lease on the olzxirchen transe
[17271]mitrer site, ani I thought t'at §f 43 arbitrary tema were to
[17272]de fixer that tying it In with the flolzkirchen lease gave it
[17273]a plausisility whieh would helo acceptance = and thet provod
[17274]to Le the case so far a3 the BSundespost was concorned,
[17276]The Foreisn Offi:e people told us, however, that
[17277]nyaterocus cuestions had been «eked in the Sundestag regarding
[17278]RPE and its programs, anc that for the Qovern-ent, to give us
[17279]a license for as long a3 eirht years would cause serious
[17280]criticism, Ye are a peculiar surt of animal, anyway, and
[17281]for our irregular activities to ce vlessed with such long
[17282]term zo;roval would, they thought, be unwise for buth their
[17283]and our zoints of view, Accordingly, they sur "sate? 2 foure
[17285]ear periods JI countered with five, datins from the date of
[17286]Jcense issuance which (since 1t cannot take place before
[17288]the contractual a, reemnantsa becore arfective, may well be late
[17289]in 1952) will give us consideratly nore tran five years life
[17290]expectancy. My own feeling Is that ir ve have not cone our
[17291]gob witnin five years, we might as well pull down the shade
[17292]and go home. In any Case, my counter propogal was, «3 } said,
