The British Secret Service representative in Washington delivered to OSO a list of items proposed as an agenda for the conversations with Major General Charles Haydon which begin in Washington on 5 October. Points included are: SO operations as a weapon in Europe, planning to meet SHAPE's wartime needs for covert operations 'and secret intelligence, future of WUCC,peripheral planning problems in Europe, Britieh views on civil security and counterespionage in support of SHAPE, and principles governing SHAPE's allocation of SO targets to clandestine services. The Chief of French Intelligence in Saigon admitted serious deterioration in French coverage of Communist-controlled Indochina and South China, owing to effective counterespionage and with- drawal of French administrators from adjacent areas. This apparent frankness could be a gambit to forestall CIA's impending request for increased information on Indochina or a move preliminary to French requests for CIA information on South China or increased material support of French operations. OSO is microfilming Belgian State Security files being held to protect them against inspection by the Belgian Judicial Police during its current investigation of State Security's Charleroi office. Mr. Higgs, Deputy Director of the State Department Office of European Affairs, has agreed with Ambassador Allen's proposal that the new Chief, OSO/Belgrade be accredited. directly to General Rankovic without going through the Yugoslav Foreign Office.
