OCUMENT RECEIVED FROM TO SUBJECT - ACTION
OPC
Washington has agreed to suspend temporarily
all further covert air operations based in the
German area. This decision was reached at the
suggestion of Brigadier General Leris, USAFE,
who feared that if a covert plane were forced
down in a future mission it would endanger the
lives of the four Air Force crewmen now in
Hungarian hands. From Washington's viewpoint
another important reason for this decision is 'the
current discussions of the Mutual Security Act
now going on in the United Nations .General
Assembly. The U. S. position in this matter
would be considerably weakened if our covert
operations were further compromised.
Ten thousand . leaflets, the first in a series.
addressed directly to the farmer and peasant
population. of East Germany, have been distri-
buted by a covert CIA propaganda net. This
publication marks another step in the effort
of the CIA German Mission to produce propaganda
directed to a specific group of the Soviet Zone
population. -
Rear Admiral Asia Ulusan, G-2 of the Turkish
-General Staff, has arrived in Washington with
a military mission concerned with Turkey' future'
status in NATO.
A conference was held 20 December. at the Department
of State. with Mr. Harry Villard; Minister Designate
