OPC
The number twoiman of the second agent team dropped into
Lithuania has radioed a report describing,hw the team's
leader was killed at a farm house attempting to fight his
way out of a MGB ambush. As reported on-10 August, the
field felt that the number two man may be under Soviet
control, in part because he had not supplied details of
the death of his team leader. This feeling has been
somewhat allayed by the message just received.
