TOP SECRET DIRECTOR'S LOG - \TE OF DATE 8:30 AM, 8 Sept.- 8:30 AM10 Seit. )CUMENT RECEIVED FROM TO SUBJECT ACTION Oso Ambassador to Yugoslavia Allen stated to the Chief of FDP/OSO in Trieste that he regretted the DCI had had to confer with .General Popovic, whom he des- cribed as arrogant, stupid, and unimportant. Mr. Allen added that Mr. Kristovich, soon leaving for Belgrade to establish liaison with Yugoslav Intelligence, should bring a letter of introduction from tha DCI to Interior Minister Rankovich, to whom he would then introduce Kristovich in a personal meeting. The Ambassador commended Mr. English, former Chief, OSO Belgrade, highly and praised the work of OSO's principal U.S. agent in Yugoslavia. The Senior Representative in Paris believes that there is small chance that the French will agree to consider at this time CIA plans for wartime bases in French North Africa, owning in part to US politicalpolicy in that area. The Chief of French Intelligence feels that a detailed request now would be premature, citing radio installations as an especially sensitive subject. Following his disappearance on 7 September while in an upset mental state, Ralph Hamilton, Senior CE Reports Officer in the Italian Branch of FDP/OSO is being sought in Washington and San Francisco. Both I&SS and the Medical Section were notified at the first indication of his abnormal state of mind. Personnel Relations is being kept informed.
