Yugoslav intelligence on Soviet satellites for data on Sovzona
Germany order of battle. The matter is being studied.
ZIPPER Has dropped a double agent operation against Soviet

Since one of the two ZIPPER sources involved is a former
British agent, the British had asked to clear all buildup
material.
OPC
The balloon launchings recently conducted from a site near
Munich by the CIA-controlled Crusade for-Freedom in conjunction
with seven other organizations carried 10,000,000 leaflets into.
Czechoslovakia and 700,000 into Poland. The CIA-controlled
Badio Free Europe gave close support to the operation in its
broadcasts. The launchings were well-managed and meteorological
advice excellent. World press and radio coverage was extensive.
Reports from behind the Iron Curtain, from recent defectors
and sources considered reliable, indicate' effective distribution
in Czechoslovakia. Leaflets were showered in great numbers on
Prague and on the entire surrounding area. No reports have been
received on launchings into Poland.
Radio Moscow and the Prague government reacted strongly. A
State Department source reports that one of 'the passangers on
the Czech train which made a break for freedom on 11 September
said his decision to escape was largely influenced by FE
broadcasts and the balloon-borne leaflets. In a recent telegram
