regained at least some measure of his former stature. Pros-
pects for the use of Turkish territory as a base for covert
operations into the USSR and the Balkans have improved,

imminent entry into the NATO, U.S.Ambassador Wadsworth has
informed the Turkish Prime Minister and Foreign Minister
of U.S. interest in conducting prospective operations from
Turkey into adjacent Communist areas. The 2 Turkish officials
expressed willingness to cooperate and have-agreed to the
conduct of negotiations and liaison for this purpose through
the Turkish General Staff, rather thPp the TNSS.
The League of Nazi Persecutees, an organization which has been
covertly supported by CIA since it broke with the Communist
front association of Nazi Persecutees, is preparing for
active resistance in the East Zone of Germany and for
countereabotage operations in Western Germany. The League
has 20,000 members of Western Germany and moz'e than 500 in
Berlin and the East Zone. Its activities have been limited
previously to political and psychological warfare.
