While there, I conducted "Orientation"-type lectures covering world news and background material on the war (May-July 1944).(2) Because of my limited-service status, I was transferred to the Supply Section, 1312 SCU, at Camp Pickett. I performed the duties of a unit Info & Education lecturer -- lecturing on history and current events, maintaining maps and bulletins on battle areas, and enrolling soldiers in USAFI correspondence courses (May-July 1944). As a result of this work, I was promoted to the Post Info & Education Office.(3) The Post Information & Education Office had to plan, produce, and disseminate war information and non-military education for all troops permanently stationed at Camp Pickett, and for a hospital on the grounds. The purpose of that program was to help troops to understand why and what we were fighting, and to understand their role in that fight. It was morale building through information.As Non-Commissioned Officer for the Info & Education Office, I performed both administrative and functional duties. I aided in the development and execution of the policies and content of the education program, and was in immediate charge of the weekly instructional program.The following are the duties I performed:
[104-10224-10012.pdf — page 303]
a) Prepared talks to use in these classes. I prepared, or revised, or supplied talks to suit them to the needs of our men.b) Trained men to conduct lectures in and of 14 to 16 units; inspected their classes.- Each company unit was required to have one or more men with suitable education or experience to conduct weekly classes on History and current ever to mider direction of the Info & Education Office. At briefing conferences, I discussed with them the topic for the next week, suggesting more of the presentation, and determining general policies to be followed. I made periodic inspection visits to classes led by these men.c) Lectured or conducted several discussions each week.- The topics of these classes ware the same as those used by the other men: Basic U.S. History; current world events; dame ite allies; the erere; and the role of the individual soldier. Classes contained 74 to 1cc men cach, with all levels of education represented in them.d) Designed and prepared displays for War Information Centers in camp libraries and the post Leadquarters. Developed visual aide for classroom use.- Displays consisted of pictures, posters, maps, and explanatory material dealing with various topics, such as: "The German Army", "Growth of the Japanese Empire", "Maziiem", "The United Nations", etc. The purpose was to give a graphic presentation of background information concerning the war. The display in the post headquarters had cups and news itens dealing with battle areas.e) Compiled and edited daily news chest; broadcast daily news summaries; wrote articles on current events for comp newspaper.- At my suggestion, the news-dissemination media at Camp Pickett were expanded by establ establichmont of the more shoot and news breadcasts. The news cheet contained late news bulletins, factual background material, and come editorials. The news sheet and breudeusts were necessitated by the remoteness of the cap.f) Did educational counselling and encouraged corollments in correspondence courses offered by U.S. Armed Forcec Institute.g) Maintained close cooperation with cup newspaper staff, the Public Relations corice, Special Services Cirice, and the Intelligence Officer.To be better prepared for work in the Fest Info & Education Office I was sent to the School for Fersonnel Services, Washington & Lue University, Lexington, Va., for a cre-conth course for Infc & Education Enlisted Specialists, (Catcher-November 1944)This course was prepared by the Her Department and conducted by military personnel. It presented material to be used in preparing Jafo & Education progress in compe, it suggested methods of presenta- tion, and it provided practical experience in arcescing and dealing with crientation problems.(15)STARRED FILM ALL DETAILED ON

(16)Tour of the topics covered in lectures and discussions in this course were:- Maneuver Weapons- Group Leadership Principles- Morale Factors- Individual Warfare- Know the Enemy- Know our Allies- Know the U.S.A- Teaching Methods- Movies and Visual AidsUpon completion of this course (with a grade of "Excellent"), I received a certificate, and a Military Occupational Specialty Classification of ECO 1274 (Information-Education Enlisted Specialist).I believe my work as Non-Commissioned Officer in the Post Info & Education Office at Camp Pickett would be valuable to Central Intelligence. The job was given to me as a promotion. I received special training for it at the School for Personnel Services, while performing the job, I received promotion in rank from Private first class to Staff Sergeant. During the closing months of my service, I was in complete charge of the office in the absence of any full-time Info & Education Officer.As the result of my work, I was invited to attend a conference of the Info & Education officers and non-commissioned officers of the Third Service Command at Edgewood Arsenal, Maryland, and to address that conference on educational and counselling problems. Since my discharge, was in process at that time, I was unable to attend. Upon discharge, I received a special commendation from Colonel F.G. Paullin, Commanding officer of Camp Pickett, and a letter of recommendation from my superior.(Copies of these letters, orders, and commendations will be submitted if necessary)SEC. 22 - CLUBS, ETC.

SECRETSecurity Information31 December 1952MEMORANDUM FOR: Doputy Diroctor for PlaneSUBJECT: Background Material for Dr. Tyson's visit on Wednesday, Jamiary 7th.1. I would like the attached papers to call to your attention the very good work that Dr. Tyson has done which is generally not known here. His successful use of emigros in making a calm and factual pre-sentation to the Azerican public of conditions behind the Iron Curtain is, in my opinion, the basis on which the Crusade for Freedom can be run by the Heritage Foundation in the future.2. Dr. Tyson shares our doubts about the Free University in Exile. He agrees that the two principles upon which the University was founded:A. that there were sufficient qualified Iron Curtain escapees to justify institutionalizing their education; andB. that by creating such an institution for escapees an esprit de corps is created, together with a determination on the part of the escapoes to serve their homelands at some future datehave not been proved.3. All of the evidence to prove the validity of these principles is certainly not in. The evidence at hand raises serious doubts, and is as followA. Of the current 208 students of the Free University, 37 are Yugoslavs, ami 12 were born in Western European countries. (The high total ratio - almost 25% of the student body of Yugoslav students, which is not a target country, together with the non-satellito born students indicates an inability to recruit the kinds of students the University was intended to train.) It should also be noted that from the information available to us it is not possible to determine what proportion of those listed as born in target countries actually left them before Soviet domina-tion. I have the impression, which is substantiated by the recruit ing missions of Mr. Royal Tyler throughout Europe and even Turkey, that suitable candidates are already extremely difficult to find. It should be noted also that of the 64 outside scholarships given to exiles in various Europaan Universities, 16 are for Yugoslavs.

SECRETSecurity Information- 2 -B. We have had various reports which indicate that the morale of a number of students at Strasbourg is not good. These morale problems arise from a variety of reasons, among which are:(1) They are not entirely certain why they are there and just what the American sponsors intend for them;(2) They fear that after they finish their education they will be without jobs;(3) There has been a steady and systematic campaign carried on by French Communist students at the University of Strasbourg to demoralize and disorganize the FEUE student body. In addition, several students are suspected of being espionage agents.4. Dr. Tyson is leaving for Europe on the 21st of January to make a thorough investigation and evaluation of the Free University in order to answer these questions. We are aiding him by having the officials of the President's Escapee Program make available a complete inventory of escapees who might be potential candidates for the University.5. Dr. Tyson was not the instigator of the proposals for a gymnasium for the Free University. The proposals were made and pushed by Royal Tyler and Spencer Phenix. The handling of this matter as far as Tyler was concerned was another example of his difficulties in dealing with Phenix for, as financial officer of NCFE, and having no position in the separate corporation, that is, the Free University, Phenix has and is dealing with matters of policy.THOMAS W.
