Photocopies of two official documents on Czech planning of
the Oatis case have been recovered. Dissemination will be deferred
pending receipt of the film itself. Detailed plans are being
prepared for further operational exploitation of the two
Czech defectors who furnished this material.
An official of the Yugoslav Embassy in Paris, who has been
conducting liaison with the French Communist Party, has
defected through Mr. Charles Bohlen. OSO Paris is arranging
for his interrogation in Oermany.
Mrs. Antonio Riva, wife of an Italian executed for espionage
by the Chinese Communists last month together with his
associate, Yamguchi, has stated to the press in Hong Kong
that her husband was innocent of espionage but Yamaguchi was
"a very consistent informer for the successor to OSS".
Yamaguchi was in fact an agent of the ESD #4lsorganization
but has had no contact with CIe since the Communist occupation
of Peiping. Colonel Barrett, USMA in Taipei, formerly USMA
in Peiping, is reported seeking a meeting with Mrs. Riva. 050
believes it probable that Colonel Barrett recruited Yamaguchi,
together with Riva. and others, in Peiping and will attempt to
quash further publicity about the net. -
The AD/SO arrived in Tokyo on 8 September.
