of Tudeh plans for Mehregan (the Autumn Festival).
Cooperation with our agents led to the/arrest of three
Tudeh leaders and the raiding of party' headquarters
where the police confiscated propaganda material, etc.
Our agents claim this raid hasdbioken up the local
Tudeh organization but warn that -another will soon
replace it.
Though it is too early to judge accurately the effects
of the "discovery" of the "Communist" books in the Post
Office and the subsequent announcement of their confiscation
by the Government, our Iranian agents consider it their
greatest success to date.
Ambassador Donnelly and General Irwin have approved in
principle the issuance of carbines to small selected OPC
resistance groups in Austria. Detailed plans are 'now
being prepared.
