TOP SECRET DiRECTOR'S LOG 1TE OF DATE 8:30 AM,l4 Sept.- 8:30 AM,15 Sept. )CUMENT RECEIVED FROM TO SUBJECT ACTION In personal conversation with the former OSO station chief in Manila, Ambassador Nyzron M. Cower remarked that he intended to call on the Deputy Director within a few days to express his continued interest in the coordination of U.S. intelligence in the Philippines. Acting at the suggestion of theDeputy Director on information that the head of the Czech delegation to the San Francisco conference might be induced to defect, OSO worked out means of approach and reviewed the proposed operation with FBI representatives. The FBI decided that hr. Sekaninova's departure from the U.S. today leaves insufficient time to mount a sound operation. Successful W/T playback of a Bulgarian agent in Greece during the past year seems confirmed by interrogation of another agent recently arrived from the same headquarters. Continued operation with 2 doubleit agents offers improved prospects of controlling Bulgarian intelligence activities in Northern Greece and a channel for eventual deception. Joint U.S.-Greek playback of a Communist guerrilla agent .based in Rumania will reinforce the operation. In order tc strengthen its control of the Indonesian Intelligence Service, OSO proposes to invite for conversations and orienta- tion in Washington Raden Sumitro Kolo Paken, Governor of the Ministry of Interior, advisor to the Indonesian National Police, and right-hand man of the Sultan of Jogjakarta in intelligence and security matters. The joint OSO/OPC mission which entered Albania on 9 August returned to Greece on 3 September after a brush with Albanian border security forces. (CONTINUED) COPY # / OF 5. SEP 14 1951 TOP SECRET
