CUMENT RECEIVED FROM TO SUBJECT ACTION
OSO-
The Swiss Government has just discovered four hidden microphones
in the chancellery of their legation in Moscow. The microphones
had been installed in radiators in such a way as to defy die-
covery by the usual mike detectors. This information will be
given extremely restricted distribution so that American missions
in Soviet and satellite countries may be alerted.
British Secret Service, infozmed by Norwegian-Intelligence of
the arrival in Norway of a Soviet agent, Alexander V. Kliukin,
now in. police custody, proposes that a joint interrogation
brief be prepared if early British and American questioning
suggests its value.
Mr. Gerald Miller (OPC), and Mr. Richard Helms (OSO) have been
assured by Generals Schuyler and Schow in Paris that SHAPE
willi not give support to Gendral Anders and his committee
of-generals.
Col. Goldbranson, USAF, called on ADSO to 'discuss the problem
of deception as related to the development of double agents. .
He represented the air interests in a subcommittee, under JCS
comprised of all the services, State, FBI and CIA concerned

greater activitg in this field, which will be given. HMe is
proposing a report showing the efforts of the past.year with
the assets that have developed therefrom, to be piresented to
the board working on this subject. The presentation of this
report should indicate need for greater emphasis on the sub-
ject of deception at the highest level.-
