TOP SECRET DIRECTOR'S LOG - 'TE OF DATE 8:30 AM,7 Sept. - 8:30 AM,8 Sept. )CUMENT RECEIVED FROM TO SUBJECT ACTION OSO A Portuguese DP who left Shanghai in mid-August has reported that a former U.S. paratrooper in Chinese military uniform is believed to be collaborating with the Chinese Communists in Shanghai. The man lives at the former Shanghai address of Hugh Redmond, a stay-behind staff employee previously reported arrested and possibly executed, who. was also a former paratrooper. OSO is attempting to check the report. The British Security Service (MI-5) informed OSO that there is no basis for legal action against David Floyd, a former Foreign Office official suspected of espionage who voluntarily disclosed Soviet Intelligence associations but disclaimed any transmission of confidential information. His testimony, however, implicated Arthur Wynn, empliyee of the Ministry of Fuel and Power, who is being investigated. OSO representatives were briefed by Navy on security screening procedures to be established for U.S. citizens and aliens evacuated to the U.S. in the event of war. CIA will be represented at meetings of the Interdepartmental Committee on Internal Security relating to this matter, in order to arrange for prompt entry of CIA personnel in any emergency situation. The British Secret Service (MI-6) refused to release but offered to share the services of an agent in Spain who applied for employment by OSO. The OSO London Station will reply that CIA has no interest in a joint operation of this kind. Ambassador Murphy has urged the Department of State to approve a forthcoming OSO request to open a station in Antwerp with a complement of one officer and one clerk.
