Dear David:I refer to:25 January 1953You may be interested in a dispatch which I received here a couple of days ago and which I quote as follows:"On January 14, Alexander Booker of the German Foreign Office informally brought to our attention a map of Eastern Europe which appeared in the December issue of "News from Behind the Iron Curtain", a monthly periodical published by the "National Committee for a Free Europe". This map which is shown in small scale on page 1 of this periodical, shows all of Eastern Germany, including East Prussia, the Satellite States, and the former Baltic States. In the case of the former German territories east of the Oder-Neisse line, the area is simply shown as belonging to Poland, and its pre-war borders are not set off by a dotted line. With respect to Poland, Czechoslovakia and Romania, however, the territories that were annexed by the Soviet Union during or after World War II are clearly marked by a dotted line. Furthermore, the Eastern Zone of Germany as well as East Prussia are shown in the same colors as the Soviet Union, whereas the Baltic and Satellite States are shown in white.""Although Booker admitted that the map itself was not of great importance, he nevertheless pointed out that it represents 'a typical example of the one-sided anti-German propaganda' put out not only by the National Committee for a Free Europe but also by Radio Free Europe. Such propaganda, he said, can only increase the misgivings which many Germans, particularly the refugees, already entertain with respect to the activities of the committee and on the operations of Radio Free Europe on German soil. Finally, Booker politely hinted that the German Government would welcome it if the U. S. High Commission would use its influence with the National Committee for a Free Europe to stop dissemination of such anti-German propaganda in the future. A more constructive and objective propaganda policy of the committee and Radio Free Europe along the lines of a larger European Community that would embrace Poland and Czechoslovakia as well as a reunited Germany and the other European nations would not only contribute to a better understanding

- 2 -between the various refugee elemants but would also havo the full support of all Gerzias, Booker added."Incidentally, I think you are doing an awfully good job on this kind of thing. The other night I actually read through an antiro copy.The article on este for the masses and the general expose of the attack on the arts is particularly significant, I think. Until the recent anti-Semitism, this field of culture is the one field of Soviet activity in which they were vulnerable before neutralists and follow-travelers everywhere. The tendancy of the intellectual to swallow the Soviet line on culture, to fall for the Stalin Prise8, the high status accorded the obedient intellectual in Soviet society, and pseudo-scientific appeal of the Serxian dogma of equality is dangerous. In a tree society, the intellectual is the origin of ideas.Anything we can do to show the last that every aspect of Soviet culture has been transformed into an instrument of the State, that the intellectual's rola is important anly so long as he is obedient, that in fact the product of the Soviet artist would not hold a candle to the standards set by fellow-travelias circles in Wastam Surope, and that the. Soviet has corrupted the crinciples of equality on which it presumes to stand is terribly imparsant.I am sure you are aware of all the above but I thought of it when I read the piece in the last 185ce, and my comment is just another way of telling you what a good job I think you are doing.Sincerely,Oliver Hariuosi(Mr. David PowersNew York, New York)CIC:TWB/ehOrig - Addressee1 cc - Leonard Stamm1 ec TONIC1 cc - CIO1-cc- RI

Bedell Smith, with the appointment a few days ago of Allen Dulles, the brother of the new Secretary of State, the immediate director of the secret war against the USSR and the People's Democracies, the recruiting officer of the Rajk, Szonyiu, Slansky, and other traitors of the same brand.""The central espionage organization embraces several bodies active in spying and diversion and camouflaged with impressive names, the espionage organization known as the National Committee for a Free Europe being one of the many maintained with U.S. dollars and directing its own branch organizations all over Europe. That committee, too, has been headed by Allen Dulles, and its members have included President Eisenhower, Gen. Clay, and representatives of the yellow trade unions and of 'Wall Street.'"That committee has been the motive force behind the various national committees, including the one led by "proven traitors like Ferenc Nagy, Mikolajczyk, and their associates." In Strasbourg and other places espionage has been given a scientific standing at universities, together with various methods of incendiarism and assassination. The "Green International" is also one of the committee's branches, allied to the gang of the international scum of landlords deprived of their estates.'It is but a few months ago that the Czechoslovak State Security organs unmasked a terrorist group belonging to the international espionage organization. The outbursts of fury of the imperialist lie-manufacturers, their wailings, the salvos of rage coming from the bourgeois politicians, are proofs in themselves that the exposure of the undercover Joint agencies, the recent liquidation of American spy and terrorist groups in Bulgaria and Poland has touched the organizers of a new war to the quick.According to data not quite complete, in the past year alone 41 American spy groups and terrorist organizations have been liquidated in the USSR and the People's Democracies. We must be prepared for the time when the enemy, precisely because of the new blow suffered by him, will try to harm us by even viler means.We must always remember Stalin's wise words to the effect that so long as there is capitalism around us, there will be wreckers, diversionist spies, and terrorists sent by foreign countries to stab the Soviet Union in the back. Let us therefore fight with even greater vigilance, let us fight even more implacably against the enemy's attempts to prevent, by sabotage and subversion, the building of Socialism. The frustration of his plans depends upon us and upon our vigilance."

SECRETSecurity Information /22 January 1953SUBJECT: Statements made by Robert Vogeler1. Our friends in New York have informed us that Robert Vogeler gave a talk at the Sorrento Athletic Club in Chicago on 13 January 1953 on the subject of psychological warfare.2. In the course of his address he reportedly remarked in broadcasting nothing but concrete, baseball scores are "news." He added that it was an organization originally founded with private capital because to of dissemination of views. However, it ran out of money because the public failed to support it and a governmental loan was made which led to unsound business. Since then, he has become guilty of the same kind of poor programming that he characterized VBA.3. Our friends are sending down a complete report of this speech. They feel that some sort of action should be taken to stop Robert Vogeler from continuing to make such remarks.Chief, /s/ W/NialeSECRETSecurity InformationBurkee Memo 13 Jan sent to DNIC, see Chrono.

Attached is a draft NCFF Policy Statement which has been reviewed and accepted by the Executive Committee of NCFF, but which was sent to us without the knowledge of Admiral Hiller and therefore should probably not be commented on by you to any of our friends in New York unless you have also received a copy from another source. Admiral Hiller probably intends to send us this statement after it has been approved by the Board of Directors.2. You may wish to compare it with the old ice-box statement now in effect, also attached.3. You may also wish to note Part I, paragraph 2 in which mention is made of government support. It is apparently the intent of NCFF to make this statement not an ice-box statement, but a public document and if so, I think you ought to make particularly certain that you approve this part of it.4. Finally, I think you will want to note the general tenor of Part III. Perhaps I am quibbling, but it seems to me a trifle full-blown. I realize that NCFF is a separate government agency just under cabinet status, but this reads a little bit as though it were putting on the trappings of national sovereignty.AttachmentsAs stated.CIO: TWB/mfDistribution:Orig - Addressee (CPP)1 cc - CIO1 cc - RI1 cc - IO BrlTHOMAS W.
