TE OF DATE ACTION
CUMENT RECEIVED FROM TO SUBJECT
JCS has forwarded a copy of an interim report by the To AD/NE.
Continental U.S. Defense Planning Group on the project
to provide a more adequate basis for planning for the
security of the U.S. JIC has concurred in the intel-
ligence aspects of this report.
OSO
The Vice Chief, British Secret Service, told OSO London
that, although the world situation has become considerable
more threatening in recent weeks, he still believes it
unlikely that the Soviet Union will intentionally start
a general war. He is more disturbed by the danger of
Communist expansion by exploitation of weakness west of
the Iron Curtain, feeling that large numbers of non-
Communists who are unfriendly to Great Britian and the
US will not resist Communism. Dangerously weak spots, he
believes, are France, Italy, Egypt, Iran and India.
Gen. Partridge delivered to ADSO a copy of the JCS cable on
CIA-FEC relationships in Tokyo; and said that he will press
for inclksion of secret intelligence activities in the set-
up. He also reported that he had found ONI cool to the
proposal of using Naval Attache cover for CE officers on the
grounds that the State Dept. will not allocate sufficient
attache slots.
