TOP SECRET
DIRECTOR'S LOG
;TE OF DATE 8:30 AM, 24 Sept. 8:30 AM, 25 Sept.
CUMENT RECEIVED FROM TO SUBJECT ACTION
OSO
Agents of the Belgian Department of Justice have arrested
the staff of the Belgian State Security office in Charleroi
and impounded its files, including ide'ntities .of informants.
CIA and British representatives are taking steps to safe-
guard information on tripartite operations in Belgium
conducted jointly with the State Security organization
headquarters in Brussels.. The Chief of State, Security
has been a close collaborator of CIA since the end of the
war. No reason has been given for the current investigation.
Chief FDM/OSO has returned from a month's survey of OSO
installations and operations in Central Europe. He indicates
that the pressing problems in this area are the need for
build-up of manpower assigned to Czech and Polish operations,
a new approach to CTA currency procurement replacing present
dependence on the Bern Station under now impractical condi-
tions, and administrative handling of the take-over of
personnel from the HICOG Office of Intelligence and other
organizations in Germany.
Swedish State Police forcibly removed from a Polish collier
docked in Stockholm the ship's cook, whom the crew had
confined on learning of his intention to defect. A messboy
also disappeared from the ship during the proceedings.
The engineer and dispatcher' of the "Ereedom Train" which
entered U.S. Zone/Germany on 10 Sept. have furnished
information being used to mount an OSO operation directed
at evacuating to Germany the Director General of
Czechoslovakian railroads. In addition to information
of positive intelligence value, the latter is said to have.
secured, in preparation for defection, a list of 200
Czech intelligence agents operating in the U.S. Zone.
