OCUMENT RECEIVED FROM TO SUBJECT ACTION
OSO
An interim report from the German Station states that the charges
of Brutal interrogation made by the HICOG Director of Prisons
are believed generally accurate. CIC personnel and Czech agents
attached to 030 roughly interrogated Csechoslovakian Intelligence
agents who had penegrated an OSO operation. The investigation
is continuing.
On 12 September Marshal Tito will decorate a high-level OSO
agent for his services as representative of a U.S. welfare
organization.
Swedish Intelligence sugcessfully dispatched three agents by
sea to Estonia on 2 September. The dispatch boat successfully
evaded a Soviet patrol craft which followed it on the return
trip. O5 has supported this operation and will receive
the intelligence it produces.
On debriefing by the OSO case Officer, Dr. Charles H. Morgan,
prominent classical archaeologist who was briefed prior to a
three-weeks' visit to Greece in August, reported that his
stay had been too short to permit the broad contacts he had
hoped to make among Greek officials or to allow him to collect
significant intelligence information.
OPC
The Burmese Prime Minister informed U.S. Ambassador Key on
3 September that the Burmese Cabinet had decided to defer
reference on the Li Mi matter to the UN until after termination
of the San Francisco conference in order to forestall any
possible attempt by the USSR delegation to make political capital
of the development. The Prime Minister said the Foreign
Minister would notify Ambassador Key before the action is taken
