With regard to reference memorandum, this Division has long suspected that some such arrangement existed. Any money which Dr. Dimitrov managed to extract from the Guard Company members is ottained by him as a result of his own personal sway exercised over this group of Bulgarians.2. It has also come to our attention that Dr. Dimitrov is receiving money from miscellaneous Bulgarians in Canada and the United States in the name of a trust fund which he has set up. You are no doubt aware of this development.3. We are most interested in getting from you, your estimate of Dr. Dimitrov's income from all sources as woll as a listing of those sources of income about which you know.CHRISTIAN M.

SECRETMEMORANDUM FOR: CHIEF TO DIVISIONSUBJECT: Proposal for Establishing a Microfilm Library of humanian Rotorence Material1. The attached paper outlines a project which may be of interest to your division. A Rumanian omigre, interested in propaganda and cultural activitios, prepared the paper after consulting with a number of rofugee scholars.2. Although the results of sich a project would be of prent value to our Reimantan oparations, implementation is considemd beyond the scope of the activities of this Division. Further, it appears more practicable for a project of this type to be undertaken by a rosearch or cultural organization, rather than an intellicence agency, in order that the results may be moro widely used.3. It is suggested that the NCR, which is concerned with worthwhile employment of rofugee intellectuals, may be interested in this project for its Mid-Furopean Studios Center. If the CE is not in a position to finance such a project, it is possible that a privately endowed foundation would be interested. The emigre has discussed this project with Dr. Serytus Yacobson of the Library of Congress and with Professor Moseley of the Russian Institute of Columbia University. He has reported that both agencies appear interested.4. Because of some doubt concerning the reliability of three of the individuals mentioned in section III of the attached report, the following data is submitted for your information:a. fr. Mircea Eliade was fomerly editor of an Iron Guard (Rumanian fascist group) newspaper and a doctrinaire of the Guard. He is reported to have disassociated himself from the Quard in the last year but this infomation cannot be confirmed.b. Fr.

Sole control of the Bulgarian Guard Company was assumed by USARFIJE in December 1952. Since there was never a definite period of enlistment, members of the Company were free to leave at will. Ao a result, there was a considerable turn-over of personnel, The maximun T/O strength was 200. Poak strength, about 30 in excess of T/O, was reached in 1952. However, this number was inmediately reduced to 200.2.  The Company was continually plagued by the constant political activian of the adherents of Dr. Georgi N. Dimitrov. It is estimated that a maximum of 40 mezbers were hard-core Dimitrov adherents.3.  The first Bulgarian Commander of the Company was Stefan Boidev. Upon his removal from the Company, Borislav Baichev was appointed in his place.4.  Stoyan Dobrev (Papazov) does not appear on the last roster of Guard Company mabers (September 1952) available to us.

# SECRETSecurity Information16 March 1953MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, International Organizations DivisionSUBJECT: Memorandum dated 13 March 1953, Subject: "Notes on Paris Trip"1. C. D. Jackson wrote the Doris Duke Foundation on Cohranen's behalf, asking that he be granted 10,000. He was granted this amount.2. Zurcher Berle & Co. are meeting in New York today and I have done everything that I can to ensure that Tyson gets full backing. I think this was really already being done as far as possible. When I got back, I suggested that this be done and a telegram was sent to Tyson giving him full authority to act in any manner in which he saw fit, including the firing of Kalcom Davis. In my discussion with Shepardson this morning he agreed that the entire subject of the University and its future should be discussed immediately. He will, therefore, examine their position in this matter for our consideration and he agreed to withdraw the request for construction funds until they themselves know what they wish to do.3. In discussing the FTUS in Exile with Spencer Phenix while you were away, I was informed that you had decided that support would be withdrawn after June 30. If this is so, I wonder how Pacak could be employed unless it has other means of support. Phenix also informed me that bennen agreed to go back to Paris for at least six months on an expenses paid basis with no salary.Frankfurt is supposed to make high level defectors available to us. I discussed this while in Munich and was assured that this would be done. The difficulty up to now has been Truscott and the Munich stations inability to insist upon anything from Frankfurt.4. ACUE has a bank account which is used to bank funds passing through the Committee and which show on AC books. Another account is impossible for cover reasons as funds passed to it would not show in ACUE accounts in New York but would in Paris. As a result arrangements were made to have Fugitt's account a joint one with some administrative officer in Paris or to have Fugitt sign a blank check to be held in the Paris office. All these matters were gone into in great detail by Inott. Thayer, in my opinion, is using technique through Tom Hester of making business impossible. Inott shares this opinion, as do others. For example, Inott was granted a raise about one year ago, he has not yet received it, etc.5. I know nothing about the Swiss franc matter and moreover my impression is that financial procedures now followed in the unity projects, to which I presume you refer, and which are not in this Division, have been arranged atSECRETSecurity Information

You may or   may not know that FTS, especially in such places as Perlin   and Vienna, is one of the important screening points for   refugees coming from the Satollito areas and as such the   RFE representatives act as bird-dogs for this Agency's FI   program wherever possible.3.

SECRETSecurity Infor5 March 1953MEMORANDUM FOR:ATTENTION:VIA:SUBJECT:Chief, 10 DivisiotiMr. DurkeeC/PPRadio Free Europe. Miscellaneous matters)conversation with Mr. Lang.25741.  This is a brief report for the benefit of Mr. Durkce and for the information of Mesars. Parnes and Eraden, concerning certala aspecte of my luncheon conversation with Mr.Robert E. Lany of 4 March.2.  I believe that I was successful in covering in one way or another all of the points raised with me by Mr. Durkee prior to my conversation with Mr. Lang. I will not attempt in this memorandum to recepitulate the entire conversation, but I will comment on certain aspects thereof and state that, in general, the conversatiea seemed to me to be quite satisfactory.3.  I received the impression that there are still "uteels within theele" and much internal friction within the NCFE set-up. This is very regrettable, but it seems to be a fect of life which I think should be brought to the attention of Mr. Shepardeon at a very earl; date, and he should be urred to bring the warring facttecs together on a more amicable basis. The personalities involved ara all taportant to the success of the operation and it is a preat stane that they spend so much of their time and energy trying to out-maneuver and creckmate one another. I would not "give up" Bob Lang on this la talking with Mr. Shepardson -- but simply make this as a general o servation of ours.4.  I came down quite hard on Bob with respect to the Leland Stowe trochure which Mr. Durkee handed to me and which I retum to you forevith. I pointed out that this thing struck us as quite dać, and for tree food and sufficient reasons, to vitsa. It represents too much concentration of effort on publicity and propaganda within the United States - our target is the satellites and to some extent the rest of the free world, but we have no charter to operate or propagandi.e within the United States and this only invites trouble when it is done;SECRETSecurity luformation

SECRET-2-b. As written, this communication or brochure has every appearance of offering a *new* international news service to American editors. It is called "The RFC News and Information Service.") It is not indicated whether this will be charged for or furnished free of charge to the proposed newspaper recipients -- but in either case it would be almost sure to bring down upon the head of JPT the wrath, indignation and hostility of all the major news services who are extremely jealous and sensitive about competition of any kind, but particularly Government competition. The news services and newspapers have played ball pretty well in covering up our dark secrets, but I suspect that anything of this kind would make enemies out of friends and set the news services upon a course of deliberate exposure.c. This move points up and invites attention to Leland Stowe's present position and, as such, opens up unnecessary vulnerabilities to the kind of attack with which we are all too familiar concerning individuals who have "written a book".Bob Lang had no ready or very satisfactory explanation of this matter -- said that he had not known about it or had not seen it -- and that he could only interpret it as an effort on Stowe's part to personally rehabilitate himself. I said that I had no objection to a program of self-rehabilitation on Stowe's part, but that he simply could not do so at the expense of the organization for which he works. Lang appeared to agree.5. I told Mr. Lang that as far as we understood it there would be no objection to his going to Turkey to see what he could negotiate for himself. Ambassador McGhee's cable appears to have relieved State Department's objections and the only question seems to be one of operational feasibility and desirability as regards his making the effort with the Turks. I ventured to predict that he would run into difficulties with the Turks, and suggested that if he were to fail in his Turkish mission he might stop by in Greece to look into the situation there, which I said we had reason to believe might be more favorable.(Signed) FRANK G.

# SECRETRecd 6 Marchisssint to Stern.MEMORANDUM FOR: C/10ATTENTION: Miss SternSUBJECT: Matorial for Transmittal to RF图,1. Forwarded horowith is a list of persons who are considered to be acceptable script writers for Albanian material to be prepared for use by RFE. It was originally intended to forward a list of persons not considered suitable, but it was later folt that thio nogative approach might allow some unacceptable persons to slip through. You will note that this approved list consists of only 30 nazes. If RFE proposen to use any persons not on the list all that they have to do is submit the name of the proposed script writer so that we may check our files for any information on him. Immediately upon receipt of the name of a person wo will reply, stating whether the person ist (a) unacceptable now, (b) may be used one time only, or (c) may be uned and added to the approved list.2. Of particular interest to us, and something wo consider vorthy of RFE's attention, is the recent use of Ernest Koliqi for the preparation of a script. tr. Koliqi is a comber of the HKI, a political organization which has beon unaccoptable in the past. Mr. Koliqi is further unacceptable as an indi-vidual by reason of his past. From the condensed information available on him it appears that he "cooperated with the Italian Minister to Tirana in preparing the Italian occupation.. returned to Tirana (he had long lived in Italy as he doos now) where he held the post of Minister of Education 1939-1943. Member of the Albanian Fascist party."3. It would seem that the use of Mr. Keliqi for the preparation of scripta is subject to serious question. In this script for February 22, page 2, he states a much better presentation of the various literary phases is the anthology entitled The Albanian Writers published in 1941 by the Minister of Education. (Kote that he was the Minister of Education during this period under the Fascist government.)4. There are other specific exnaples of possibly doubtful persons having beon used in the preparation of scripts. Dimiter barati, a Zogist official then Zog vas in power, a Fascist official when the Fascista vere in power, and now reported to be a Communist stooge, vas used on several occasions. Zef Shiro, formerly, and possibly still, editor of the Fascist magazine "Albania" vas used for the preparation of a script on January 5.5. As was agreed in a

This is in response to your request for our views regarding the attached letter from Dr. Bela Boszormenyi-Nagy.2. Our files contain only a limited amount of information regarding Dr. Boszormenyi-Nagy. However, it is unlikely that information regarding Hungary which he acquired prior to September 1948 would add very much to information we have obtained from refugees and defectors who left Hungary more recently and who were better situated to observe at first hand the top government officials there.3. I would suggest, therefore, that in acknowledging Dr. Boszormenyi-Nagy's letter we advise him not to make a special trip to Washington. Instead, we might suggest that if he is here on other business at some future time he should get in touch with Mr. DuBose at Sterling 3-5520.

174-4February 25, 1953Dear George:Confirming what I have just told you on the case, our mutual friend wrote Michael a note the exact contents of which are as follows:"After you left this afternoon, Mr. Robert Toegeler came in to see me, and among other things told me that to his certain knowledge, RFE had been infiltrated."I picked up the word and asked him if he would tell me more about it, to which he replied that maybe he had used too strong a word. So then I told him to pick any word he wanted, but to tell me what he meant."He then told me that there were people working for RFE who were either ex-Communists or ex-Socialists who were utterly discredited in their own country and who were doing more harm than good. I asked him if he cared to tell me who some of these people were, to which he replied that he did not come to the office to denounce anybody. I thought I would leave it at that and we went on to another subject."However, the purpose of his trip to Washington was to feed information to Senator McCarthy's Committee, and he will be re-turning in another ten days to give him some more advice."I think it would be most important for you or Bob Lang to have a word with this gentleman and see if you can't find out whom he is talking about, as I am sure you would be eager to know and to act if justified."It was our friend's suggestion, and we will act upon it, that together with Michael and Kenneth Walters I try to see Voegeler. This I will do as soon as I can locate him, and I learn that he is now in New York. We here have information that Voegeler associates socially with an individual who, having failed of employment with the Fund some time ago, has since lost no opportunity to condemn the Fund as being infiltrated. The latter individual's identity is known to Michael as is also the basic situation which gives some color to the allegation.I will reserve further comment on this until I see you personally, or I will instruct Michael to give you this background when he next goes down to see your colleagues.Sincerely,
