SECRETRetyped from NLBA - 6479SUBJECT: Future Resignation from CIA of David Phillips1. In a recent meeting with the Chief of Station, David Fhillips, the PECTATE case officer, informally announced his intention of resigning from CIA in the near future. At that time Phillips requested that Headquarters be informed by the Chief of Station. The decision to resign has been made informally, in order for the Station and Headquarters to have as much advance notice as possible. Actually, Phillips does not expect to leave his Beirut assignment for about four months, or sometime in the month of July. Phillips reports that the PECTATE building will have been finished and occupied by PECTATE staffers long before that time.2. In the above-mentioned zeeting, and in a Memorandum for the Record submitted to the Chief of Station, Fhillips has emphasized that his decision was reached after careful though and has been prompted solely by personal considerations. Specifically the ressons are:a. The necessity of Phillips' return to Latin America to take care of personal business problems, mainly the sale of his newspaper in Chile. He has been negotiating for this sale for many months, but he feels that an advantageous agreement would be impossible to reach by mail from such a distance.b. Phillips' desire to inaugurate a business firm in Cuba.3. The Chier of Station has discussed this matter with Phillips in detail. Phillips has reiterated--and has requested that Headquarters be so advised--that his decision is purely personal. There is no question of dissatisfaction with CIA, or of a morale problem. On the contrary, Phillips has expressed his regret that circumstances prompt him to terminate what he has described as a most rewarding association with CIA.4. Phillips' plans for leaving the Beirut assignment bring up the problem of future CIA control of PECTATE. Phillips has submitted to the Chief of Station his personal recommendations on this score, which have been considered in prepering a separate dispatch.24 March 1958GHOSN ZOGBYChief of StationBeirutSECRET

# 14-00000Chief of Station, BeirutChief, HEACHOFER's Chilean NewspaperNewspaper's Treatment of Klein-Saks MissionACTION REQUIRED: As requested in paragraph 1.FILEPECTATEPERSONNEL(CHEADEN)1. Please advise CHATE of the following, which has been received by Chief, a Division, from the CO2, Santiago, regarding CHOFER's newspaper.2. "...The newspaper owned by CHOFER has been engaging in an all-out campaign against the Klein-Saks Mission and their economic program for Chile. While the newspaper in itself is not terribly important, the Embassy has become disturbed because of the newspaper being owned by an American. Recently the Ambassador called in the local editor of the newspaper and asked for an explanation. He replied that he was himself in complete accord with the Klein-Saks program and that his hands were tied as he was acting upon instructions from his publisher. Personally, I think that that was probably not true but was simply a means of passing the buck to extricate himself from a difficult situation. I do not believe that CHOFER is very much au courant with the activities of the newspaper and that its policy is left pretty much in the hands of the local editor. Unfortunately, the Air Attache, who has been here for a considerable period, mentioned to the Ambassador that he thought I might be able to throw some light on the situation due to the fact that he, himself, knew HEA had some sort of cooperation with HEA. I stated if there was such a connection, I was not cognizant of it. Nevertheless, I think that the most circumspect thing that could be done would be to apprise CHOFER of what is going on on his newspaper, so that he could correct the situation if he so desires. I understand the Ambassador intends to write a very strong letter directly to CHOFER. A strong statement in reply could very well avoid embarrassment at a future date for E.DESENSITIZEDPER CON 43-26SEURI

It is recommended that the attached be brought to the attention of David A. PHILLIPS, with an expression of HUS' views on the situation.2. David A. PHILLIPS is a KURARK Staff agent presently serving overseas and most probably is, as Rafford W. HERBERT suggests, NOT aware of the current attitude of the paper (SOUTH PACIFIC MAIL - weekly English Language newspaper); however, it is believed that if the situation were brought to his attention, and copy of the attached self explanatory letter forwarded to him, he would be able to correct it promptly by a letter to the editor outlining the policy he, the owner, wishes the paper to follow.![signature]C.

HCSA - 510915 November 1957Dear J. C.*This is to advise you of a situation that might possibly becare embarrassing for AUBARK. In recent months the newspaper here owned by David A. Phillips*, has been waging an all-out c mpaign against the Klein-Cars Mission and their economic progrem for Chile. While the newspaper in itself is not terribly irportant, the Embassy has become disturbed because of the newspaper teing owned by an American. Recently the ambassador called in the local editor of the newspaper and asked for an explanation. He replied that he was himself in complete accord with the Klein-Saks progres but that his hands were tied as he was acting upon instructions from his publisher. Personally, I think that that was probably not true but was simply a reans of passing the buck to extricate himself from a difficult situation. I do not believe that Phillips is very much "eu courant" with the activities of the newspaper and that its policy is left pretty much in the hands of the local editor. Unfortunately, the Air Attache, who has been here for a considerable period, mentioned to the Ambassador that he thought I might be able to throw some light on the situation due to the fact that he, himself, knew that Phillips had sone sort of connection with KUBARK. I stated that if there was such a connection that I was not cognizant of it. Nevertheless, I think that the most circumspect thing that could te done would be to apprise Phillips of what is going on on his newspaper, so that he could correct the situation if he so desires. I understand the Ambassador intends to write a very strong letter direct'y to Phillips. A strong statement in reply could very well avoid embarrassment at a future date for KUBARK.Rafford W.

# Bivne 6Air PouchKAPOKSECURITY FOR?TCS-A-1801Chief, RNDdoting-Chief of Station, SantiagoZACACTUS, Chile.Fulzinator-1's Te-Ferma ContractReference: TCS-7-166529 December 19611. Attached herewith please find a pro forma contract which has been prepared for Fulminater-l's signature. He has stated that he is in agreement with its provisions. If this contract is satisfactory please retura it for his signature at such tino as his clearance is obtained.2. FULMINATER-1 has shom himself to be very enthusiastic regarding the proposed employment with this Organisation and is anxious to start the tasks to bo assigned to hin as scen es his clearance is obtained and the necessary instructions are fcrwarded to this Station.3. To carry out the covert prepa, anda wapect of FULMINATEE-l's duties he has highly recormended the use of Victor POOLSTE Crtoga. The latior is a Chilean, about 56 years of age, whe is foreman of FOULIT-l's printing shop. De also lives on the premises and would be the caly person who would have to know if the presses are used at nikt. He is not a member of the printers' labor union and his past actions havo indicated to FANATI-1 that he is 100% anti-Communist. He has bom employed many years by Luckenzie and Co., a British firm which shared the print shop facilities with FCMIRATUA-1'a presses. However, FULMA-1's equipment is entirely separate from Lackenzie's and if the covert work is done at night as is anticipated it is FULMINATER-l's opinion that POBLETE could run off the work without any possible interference from other individuals. another of PODI 13's advantages is the fact that he is able to perform all the printing oporations which will be nevesuary to put out sormal propagania and similar material and this would eliminate the need to use other persons in the preparation of the prepajanda material.4. PCBLETS has been closely connected with inglish and Anglo-Chilean officials of Lackenzie & Co. for many years but it is believed logical to presume that if he is paid generously for his work in this connsetion, with the understanding that the work is of a completely confidential nature and of a long-term basis, that he will agree to complete secrecy regarding the work. Amount of payment to POSLATE will have to be determined when there is scme indication as to the mount of work to be done, & local investigation of this person has been initiated and the results will be forwarded as soons possible. No derogatory information on this person appears in this Station's files.A, In line with the authorization received in TCS-5-1465, FULTHATER-l will beКАРОК

It was conátierod necessary to begin his payments as of thatdate in order to insure his continued stay in Chile. This Station wouldappreciate clarification of JREDICT-Chile to which, according to TC..--1465,this expense could be charged for a limited time.6.5, FULMINATER-I's weekly newspaper is 61% owned by him, and as indicated inattached contract, he has agreed to keep the paper for at least two years.The other owner, who has taken no activo interest whatsoever in the operation,management or policies of the paper, apparently plans to sell his share.The prospective buyer is not known but in any event PULMINATER-1 will retainthe controlling interest.76, FULNINATER-l is willing to spend the necessary time in Washington fortraining and will be ready to depart immediately when so advised. However, hiswife is expecting a baby around 30 December 1951 according to her doctor'scalculations, and FULMINATER-1 would prefer to remain in Santiago for at leasta few days after the child is born. He is certain that the birth will takeplace within a week's time and it is hoped that his presence in Washington willnot be required prior to 15 January 1952. As a cover story for his trip,FULMINATER-1 has advised that an option nas been bought on one of his playeand that a trip to New York to discuss the play with the prospective produceris completely logical. Further, he has an estate in Texas which is in. litigationand which could logically require his presence there. PULMINALER-1 asked thatho bo allowed to spend a day or two in Texas either on his trip up or back tosettle this estate and it is recommended that he be allowed to do so in order toprovide his cover story with more basis in fact.8.7, FULMINACER-1 has been told that he must pay United States income tax on hiscalary received from this Crganization. He is at a loss, however, to know howthis added income can be satisfactorily and securely explained to the Departmentof Internal Revenue. In accordance with the contents of Field Regulations 50-15,this matter is being brought to Headquarters attention with a request forinstructions as to how this matter is to be handled.efcActing Chief of StationKenneth J.
