The British Secret Service is clearly disposed to accept
ZIPPER as the future German Intelligence Service as a
result of discussions with OSO representatives in London
on 18 September.
Mr. Ray Tod, of G-2, discussed with OSO the Civil
Security/Counter-intelligence conference scheduled by
SHAPE for 15 October in Paris and stated that the
U.S. military services had not yet fonmulated their
views. Informed generally of the CIa position in
designating an observer, he indicated that General
Bolling might consult D/DCI on the matter.
An OSO Chinese agent parachuted into Honan Province on
19 September. A second operation directed against
Mukden failed when the agent refused to jump. Both
flygbts were without incident.
The Air Attache in Dublin will be unable to deliver
the DCI's letter of 7 August to Colonel: Bryan, Chief
of Irish Intelligence, until his return from Scotland
in late September.,

General Chennault's current secretary is an American citizen
named Ida Susan Boull. Headquarters assumes that she is the
secretary referred to in the exchange of cables in the field.
Headquarters has no information on "candle", the subject of the
message the secretary passed"inadvertently to BGMARQUE headquarters,
and is not aware of any other use being made of Mrs. Boull except
as a cut-out between BGMARQUE, CAT, and ar OSO agent in Taipei.
