DIRECTOR'S LOG
ATE OF DATE 8:30 AM, 3 Oct. - 8:30 AM, 4 Oct.
OCUMENT RECEIVED FROM TO SUBJECT ACTION
OSO
The German Internal Security Service has discovered a
penetration of the Government Printing Office in Bonn through
which sensitive official documents have been furnished to an
unknown intelligence service and to the Genzan Social Democratic
Party. Timely reporting of the development by an OSO
penetration agent has enabled OSO to forestall-compromise by
turning over to the German Service one batch of the documents
recently offered for inspection. Although the 030 operation
appears to be in the clear, the involvement of 'the German
Social Democratic Party through the secretary of its leader,
Kurt Schumacher, may precipitate-a scandal.
A British Secret Service agent in charge of the British stay-
behind operations in Spain informed O0SO/Madrid in strictest con-
fidence that this program may be turned over to CIA for
financial reasons. OSO infers that the British may ask CIA aid
in supporting it.
The Belgian Minister of Justice is considering legislative measures
to protect the Belgian Security Service from further intrusion
by other government agencies. He has asked for information on
U.S. practices for the protection of intelligence files.
General J. Lawtn Collins il planning a purely personal visit
in Stockholm 8-10 October with his daughter, the wife of an
OSO Station member. The Embassy and the Army Attache have
cleared with the Foreign Office and are atterpting to minimize
the official reception to avoid possible misinterpretation of
the visit.
Dr. Thede Palm, Chief of the Swedish Intelligence Service, is
willing to discuss all CIA-proposed topics during his visit to
Washington but is unwilling to comment beforehand on the agenda.
