# MKJRANDU! FOR: Chief, IO DivisionSUBJECT: Library of Congress Bastern European AccessionsREFERENCE: Fund Memorandus No. 513, 2 September 19521. SE Division has noted with interest that effective August 20, 1952, the Washington research staff of the CFE will begin processing books and publications received from the Iron Curtain countrios by the library of Comme Phaon accagntong ramaso valuable source of information which this Division is presently unable to exploit, since we have no personnel with the lan uage qualifications required to review all that is received for our specific interests.2. Keferenced memorandum indicates that the NCFE has arranged to microfilm portions of given books containing items of propaganda or informational value. One copy of the print will be mailed to the New York research desks, while the original icrofilm will be sent by pouch to llunich, presumably for RFE. This Division requests that an additional copy of the print be obtained on a continuing basis by 10 for further analysis by the interested Area Divisions and for pouching to our field stations which have indicated a specific interest in this material. It is suggested that the copy be broken down into sections corresponding to the Area Divisions interested in order that this material may receive insediate attention by the appropriate Area Division.3. SE Division would appreciate receiving your comments regarding this request since we are anxious to utilize this material as soon as possible and wish to make other arrangements if these suggestions are found impractical.Copy to EEJOHN E.

Burkeo, Chief, IO/TONICSUBJECT: Refugee Stipendiaries of NCFEREFERENCE: Secret Memo dtd 12 August 1952 from Chief, IO/TONIC, to Chief, SE, Subject: List of Stipendiaries of NCFE.1. In compliance with your request of 12 August, the referenced memorandum was circulated to the various interested branches of SE Division. Of the thirteen Rumanians listed as stipendiaries of NCFE, only one, Mr. Frutus Coste, is on the payroll of SE Division. However, it has been our understanding that Mr. Coste has received no stipend since December, 1951. We would appreciate a further check on the status of Mr. Coste with respect to his reported stipend. No other duplications were reported.2. It is requested that in addition to the referenced list of stipendiaries, IO Division obtain from the NCFE and RFE a list of all refugee employees from within the SE area (Romania, Bulgaria, Albania, and Yugoslavia) who may be employed in any capacity, with their salaries and job titles. Such information has not been available to the interested branches in the past, but experience has shown that the availability of this data on a current basis would be most helpful to the responsible case officers.PP:CACrane:barDistribution:Addresses - Orig & 1SE/PP - 2RI - 2JOHN E.

12 September 1952MEMORANDUM FOR: CHIEF, PSYCHOLOGICAL STAFF DIVISIONATTENTION: Mr. E. J. Harrison, PT EvaluationSUBJECT: IPTONIC Use of PY Guidance Papers1. In discussing this subject, the following facts of DNIC operations should be kept in view:a. DNIC prepares its own daily guidance papers, written by a special staff which has at its disposal a European-wide news-gathering apparatus.b. State Department overnight policy guidances are regularly delivered to TONIC on the day of issue.2. Guidance papers from PY are dispatched as soon as they are received. For instance, Special Guidance on Bacteriological Warfare, dated August 7, 1952, and Weekly Propaganda Guidance No. 9, dated August 8, 1952, were sent on August 11.3. The value of PY guidance papers for PTMC was taken up with TOMIC officials last May. Their observations are contained in the following quotations from their letters to this Division:a. The Chief Programming Official wrote:"We have received several of these papers in the past couple of months. They are extremely useful for the following reasons:a. They set forth clearly U. S. policy on one issue or another;b. They occasionally report thinking in quarters from which we hear nothing directly;c. They usually contain pertinent quotations of expression of views by the enemy which we can make use of (both published and other cources, such as interrogatories).
[104-10225-10000.pdf — page 72]
SECRETad down for propaganda addressed to otheraudience than ours (other than central andeastern Europe).On the other hand, when these papers deal with ourtargets, they sometime reveal a divergence fromour thinking and our points of view. Where this isknown to the Post that they have in mind black, we'llebe dealin' in white. But the difference can be legitimate. Buteven so, we find proposals that seem to us illogical,and now and then extremely unwise."b. The President of the organization wrote:"You enclosed a paper giving additional guidance materialfor propaganda countering Communist BW charges. All thelines therein suggested have been successively used by ussince February 25 or thereabouts when the topic firstarose."Papers of this kind are of great use, provided they arrivepromptly. By promptly is meant, either in anticipation ofan event, or an expression of views on the day the eventoccurs."c. The Deputy Director, Radio, wrote:"With regard to the paper (Prop-103, dated 23 March 1952)that you enclosed, I checked Bob's department and theyadvise that from the beginning we have made the pointsspecified in 6(a)3 and 5, 6(b)2, 9(a)1 and 2, 9(d), 9(e), 10."As a matter of information, to our particular audiences wemay, instead of 6(b)l, that the Soviet Union is trying topersuade the leaders of German heavy industry, militarists,and ex-Nazis to go into partnership with it; and instead of6(c) that the prohibition of alliances is fraudulent, Moscowintending, as in August 1939, to ally itself with a reaction-ary Germany against our peoples. Again to our audiences, wesay instead of 9(a)2 that the German problem can be solved,and that the Western powers are attempting to solve it inthe interest of the security of our audiences. We are gladto see that our line parallels that laid down in 9(d) and (e)."h. A fair summary of the use of FY guidance papers for RFE is asfollows:
[104-10225-10000.pdf — page 73]
a. They are useful insofar as they contain ideas that have not occurred to TONIC's own people or in reference to events that are not a matter of public knowledge.b. In most cases the guidance papers arrive so late that DMC is already engaged in treating the next stage in the development of the propaganda theme suggested.c. As PY guidance papers, therefore, are at the moment another contribution to the thinking of TONIC officials, it is not possible to point to specific uses of the material suggested.d. To be most useful, propaganda guidance from PY should treat the development of special themes that have a specific relation to precise U. S. Government operations and objectives aside from gonoral U. S. foreim policy goals. To be most useful to RFE, such guidance should be developed over a period of time in anticipation of the actual facts or operations making up such programs.EMMONS BROWNActing ChiefInternational Organizations Division10/10:JC:WPD/Orig - Addressee1. co - IO/TEC   1 cc - CTO   2 cc - PI

12 September 1952MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, IO DivisionSUBJECT: Current V. S. Attempt to form a Unified Rumanian Refugee OrganizationREFERENCE: Memorandum to Chief, IO Division, Subject: SE Division Plan for Rumanian Emigre Organization, dated 28 May 19521. In view of the considerable length of time since NCFE opened negotiations for Rumanian refugee unity and subsequent developments, a reappraisal of the situation and a delineation of final action are required.2. It is evident that expression of NCFE interest in the Council of Political Parties (actually it has been directed primarily toward the National Peasant Party) has had the desired effect on the two refugee groups in the United States, by raising the specter of a third force developing and being recognized by the Americans. It has also made the King aware of the seriousness with which the Americans regard the division between the two groups. Further, it has incited the Iron Guard to adopt a "democratic" facade in the hope, perhaps, of fitting eventually into the resulting organization. However, in spite of the success of the maneuver, further encouragement of the CoPP and the NNI could well prove dangerous to our overall objective of unifying the refugees, by adding fuel to their differences.3. Careful consideration has been given to the various worthwhile proposals and counter proposals which were advanced in the course of the recent discussions. It is hoped, in this connection, that the NCFE has made it entirely clear to all the participants that this series of discussions was undertaken purely to explore the possibilities for agreement in concert with the refugees themselves, and that after hearing all sides of the question, the NCFE will present for their consideration a "package" proposal, on the basis of which final agreement should be reached. It is believed that the revision of the original plan, set forth below and embodying certain features which have developed in the course of the last three months, can provide a solution acceptable both to this organization and to the refugees. Operational considerations, the desirability of maintaining a reasonable degree of control, the necessity for taking into account the refugee concept of democratic procedures, as well as the firm stand on size taken by the Rumanian National Committee, these are all important factors affecting the problem. The final organization should be small enough to control, sufficiently selective to attract prominent exiles, inclusive enough to contain the rank and file, and of an optimum size to carry out its functions effectively.
[104-10225-10000.pdf — page 75]
4. An organizational form of a large passive Council, to which all Rumanians who meet certain qualifications could belong, but with all action vested in a small Executive Committee, offers a practical way to catiafy both U. E. and refugee requirements. The name of this overall organization should be the "Rumanian National Committee" since tids would provide a sunse of contimity and would facilitate acceptance of the proposal by Vicolanu and the King. It would be formed by an expansion of the present Rumanian National Committee into the Executive Committee of approximately twenty persons. Hembership in the Council would be extended to the rank and file by means of letters announcing the new organization and inviting perticipation. The "Council" of the Rhianian National Committee would include mimbore from all comtries and would not meet in session. Radoscu should be designated honorary president of the Council. The Executivo Committee would be the functional unit of the organization. It would appoint sub-commionions and proupe to perform the work of the Committee and designate representativos of the Romanian liational Committee at various refugee centers in Europe, South America, and the Near East. A membership card would be issued to all wno affiliate with the Council. Members of cxtremist proupo would be excluded in principle from manbership in the Romanian National Connlttce, except in certain cases passed upon by the Committoo and accepted by us. A newspaper would be published and distributed in liberal quantities.5. The Executive Committee headquarters would be in New York City and work in conjunction with the NCFE and representatives of CIA. It is recommended that the position of chairman of the Executive Commalttee bo held for a term of one year, elective by members of this committee only.

6. As the first step in achieving the organization outlined above, it ia suggested that the NCFE reply to Visoienu'a nemc expressing appre- clation and inviting him to a discussion of his proposal. At this meeting, the NCFE should present the idoas outlined in paragraph h as the American view of the compromise which, after careful study, appears to offer the best possible solution. In the discussion, the lNCID should indicate that this plan is the result of much thought by interested groupa after dis- cuasions with many refugees, that it has attempted to aid the refugees because of its interest in them and their country's welfare, and that it 18 prepared to support a Rumanian refugee orgadzation in a number of ways. Visolanu should be invited to recommand the people whom he considers desirable for the Executive Committee. He will have been briefed ty CIA prior to the meeting and will propose the same list generally as that in pararaph 5. The NCFE should then request Visoianu's cooperation and active participation in forming an organization along the lines suggested in para- graphs 4 and 5. It will swgest that Vicolanu, Fore and Crihan work with Cafencu, Chilesan and Coste for this purpose. Each of these gentlemon should be approached by CIA and NCFE prior to the opening contact meeting of the group. If any substitutions are made in the participants, CIA should be consulted prior to the time arrangements are completed. After this group has worked cut details of the organization and consulted with the others suggested for the Executive Committee, the NCFE will taske Invitations to a general meeting of this Committee and will ancist in getting the other organisational details underway. Sub-com18sions should be established. imnectately, using the refuzoes who have been participating in the recent NCFE discussions. Arrangements will be made for Visoianu and Cafenou and an additional delegation to be named later, to co to England to inform the King of the agreements reached and the details of the new organization.7. During this phase of activity, it is recommended that someone from this Divinion be assigned on TUI in New York to work closely with the NCFE and advise on any necessary changes. CIA will contact certain refugees to ensure their cooperation prior to the initiation of this phase of activ- 1ty.8. This plan has been coordinated with the Department of State. It is requested that the details be forwarded to the ICFE and a meeting arranged to discuss the implementation.JOHN E. BAKERChief, SE

# SECRETSecurity Informationthe RecordMEMORANDUM FOR: DEPUTY DIRECTORSUBJECT:11 September 1952.Conversation with Admiral H. B. Miller on Wednesday, the 10th of September.The following is a memorandum of my conversation with Admiral Miller in New York on Wednesday, September 10th. I would like to preface this account with the observation that Admiral Miller seems to be in a highly emotional state and generally suspicious of those around him.(1) Larry deNouſvilleAdmiral Miller reported his meetings with Larry deNeuville in Paris and indicated a difference in his projected use of Larry deNeuſville and that onvisaged by deNeufville, which Admiral Miller presumed represented CIA's interests. Miller proposes to use deNeufviile as one of a three man brain trust, one of whom is Louis Gallantier and the other is still unnamed. He mentioned that he had originally considered deNouſville as an aide in administrative matters but had been informed that deNeufville was not equipped for such duties.(2) VOAAdmiral Miller indicated that RFE was having difficulties with VOA, especially with the new Information Intelligence Unit created by the State Department, under the direction of Donald Shea, to provide information for VOA's broadcasts to the Iron Curtain countries. Those difficulties included the preventing of RFE's information people from interviewing escapees.(3) Information Service - Leland StoweAdmiral Miller indicated that he was more than satisfied with Leland Stowe's activities, and that with the exception of RFE correspondents in London and Paris, they were satisfied with present personnel. He also stated that Russell Hill had become RFE correspondent in Germany. He further indicated that he will make every effort to keep Leland Stowe on after the expiration of the present six-month consultative contract.# SECRETSecurity Income

Admiral Miller reported that McDonald, the RFE correspondent in Rome, held the same view. Admiral Miller exhibited some suspicion of the actions of Mr. Delbeare in trying to sell him the matter of Father Horlion and Anna Brady, but stated if that was what Mr. Dulles wanted, that was all right with him.(5) Crusade for FreedomAdmiral Miller indicated he was going to give two days a week to the Crusade for Freedom.WILLIAM P.

Mr. Phenix when he was recently here advised me that the Board of NCFE desired to change its name from "National Committee for a Free Europe, Inc." to "Free Europe Committee." The purpose of this was to avoid confusion with the multitude of "national committees" for various purposes, some of them subversive.2. This proposed change was discussed at the morning meeting with the Director and Deputies and no objection was found if the Committee really wanted to do it. I suggest that C/IO confirm this to Phonix as they want to set the legal steps in motion.ALLEN W. DULLESCONFIDENTIALSecurity Information

Attached hereto is Admiral Miller's answer on behalf of NCFE to numerous requests for personnel records of NCFE in order to provide CIA with basic information about this project.2. In view of NCFE's reticence to provide us with such basic information, Mr. Braden and I have discussed the possibility of whether we could effectively perform a liaison function here for you without such information, and we are agreed that we cannot. As you know, it is not our purpose to use this information to harrass people in New York or to quibble about salaries or details of assignments. We do think that the only way CIA can perform its responsibility toward NCFE is to keep itself fully informed in every field of NCFE's activity, and that knowing which employees are doing what is essential information.3.
