OPC
CIA has infomed the Department of State that it- would consider
the maintenance of a Tibetan group abroad of questionable
usefulness if the Dalai Lama remains in Tibet and, accordingly,
that CIA could make no commitments regarding any such group.
Twenty-one Albanian agents, including'several W/T operators,
are being flown from CIA's covert training school in Germany
to Athens. It is expected they will be infiltrated into
Albania immediately following their arrival in Greece.
Twenty-six additional Albanian recruits will be sent to
Germany for training on the return flight.
OSO
In meeting OSO's candidate for assignment to the Embassy in Warsaw,
Ambassador to Poland Joseph Flack and Mr. Harold Vedeler, of the State
Department, raised more difficulties than had previously appeared
with respect to his cover position... OSO.participants in the conversation
now feel that State will not willingly accept an OSO assignment to Warsaw,
even though the candidate himself seemed to make a good personal
impression..
An S/W message from Poland reports that the Polish Government will
expel representatives of the American Scantic Lines from Poland
on 1 December. This action will deprive OSO of the services of a
contract agent who -has been in that area for the past nine months.
Ambassador to Belgium Murphy views favorably an OSO/Brussels
suggestion that CIA assign an officer to assist M. Woot de Trixhe,
of the Belgian Security Servicej in revamping his organization.
Although the suggestion has not been broached to him, the OSO
Station Chief feels that M. oot de Trixhe would.be receptive to
it in view of glaring defects disclosed during the recent government
investigation of the Charleroi office of his Service.
