Mr. Wisner (Cont'd.)
d. Referred to a cable report and
noted what we intended to do to keep up our propaganda program inthis regard.
The Director stated we should immediately initiate a "barrage" in order to
draw off Communist propaganda regarding the Rosenbergs' sentence. DD/P stated
ways and means to implement this were already under consideration as noted in
the above-mentioned cable. After some discussion, the Director asked DD/P to
prepare a memorandum on this matter in order that he might discuss it at the
PSB luncheon on 11 December.
e. Reported the possible defection of a high-level elegate at the
UN and stated that since this possible defection would take place within the U.S.
it was a matter for the FBI. After some discussion, the DCI directed that the
FBI be notified of this possible defection by memorandum, which he would sign.
Mr. Amory:
a. Reported that he, Admiral Bieri, General Bull, Mr. Hoover, and
had completed the staff work on the summary evaluation study which would be the
subject of discussion at a JCS meeting at 2 p.m. on Monday, 15 December, which
the Director would attend. After some discussion, the Director stated that he
wished Gen. Bull and Mr. Amory to accompany him to this meeting and he intended
that Mr. Amory "do the talking" based on what he, the Director, would tell him.
Mr. Hedden asked the Director if he had received a reply to his memorandum to
Deputy' Secretary of Defense Foster concerning the movement of the second group
of the CAT aircraft. The Director indicated he had not. Mr. Hedden then asked
if it was the Director's intention to advance funds for the commercial transporta-
tion of these aircraft. The Director indicated that it was provided we received
reimbursement.
