DIRECTOR'S LOG -
8:30 AM, 8 Oct. - 8:30 AM, 9 Oct.
)ATE OF DATE -
CUMENT RECEIVED FROM TO SUBJECT ACTION
OSO
The expected scandal is developing from discovery of the security
leak in the West Geman Government Printing Office. German
newspapers have headlined the involvement of Dr. Schumacher,
leader of the German Social Democratic Party, and of the
French Intelligence Service. OSO's action in turning over to
the German Security Service documerts offered by the French agent
has caused Chancellor Adenauer to express satisfaction to
General Hays, and some newspapers'have 'attributed the agent's
arrest to cooperation between U. S. intelligence and German-
authorities.
OPC
Arrangements are being made for Jaroslav Konvalinka, engineer of
the "freedom train" to attend and address the convention of the
International Transport Workers Federation at Marseilles on
8 October. Hans Jahn, head of the Genman Transport Workers
Union is to meet Konvalinka to confirm his labor bona fides,
after which it is expected the ITF will invite Konvalinka to
attend the Marseilles meeting. Tentative plans have been made
for the Czech engineer to make a European tour to address
workers after the convention closes.
Iranian Premier Mossadegh will be under the care of CIA'contract
agent Claude E. Forkner during his stay at New York Hospital.
Assistant Secretary of State McGhee is scheduled to brief
Dr. Forkner on the U.S. position with regard to the Iranian
situation on 8 October. Arrangements are being made to debrief
Dr. Forkner daily during his contact with Mossadegh. The Iranian
Embassy in Washington reportedly has recommended to Mossadegh
that he employ as a special advisor during his U.S. visit a manwo
is also a CIA contract agent. Although this report is unconfirmed,
the agent is being briefed should his employment by Mossadegh
take place.
