With the concurrence of Danish Intelligence, OS0/

Communist activities in 18 Danish towns. This data,

OPC
Plans for celebration of Albanian National Independence
Day on 28 Nov. will be highlighted by a large reception
in Rome which will be attended by members of both the
British and American Eabassies. This reception will
mark the first publication of a new monthly Albanian
news bulletin published by the National Committee for a
Free Albania. Two clandestine broadcasts on the celebra-
tion will be beamed to Albania the evening of the 28th
and telegrams from Hasan Dosti of the National Committee
for a Free Albania will be sent to BritishForeign Sec'y
Eden, Sec'y of State Acheson and other influential American
political, military and labor leaders. Both the State Dept.
and the Foreign Office have agreed to reply to these
telegrams.
CIA's senior representative in Athens and Commander Whiney,
the British SIS representative, have presented a compromise
proposal to Greek General Dobas on the question of a com-
munications base for stay-behind operations in Greece.
Control of the base, which is a matter for future settle-
ment, was. side-stepped in view of the -conflicting positions
taken by the British and Greeks on this. subject. The
wording of the proposal is as nearly acceptable to the
Greeks as it can be made.
