Principal agent in an ill-fated operation run from October 1950 to March 1951. The operation resulted in a major expose and trial in Sofia during 1951. The agents used were those selected by DIMITROV, at least one of whom was probably an operative of the Bulgarian militia and acted as the betrayal of his colleagues.(2) Although the extent of DIMITROV's knowledge of operations was limited, it was considered extremely undesirable to allow these facts into French hands. Arrangements were therefore, made with Greek authorities for his arrest just before his scheduled meeting with the French representative to whom he was to deliver the information and from whom he was to receive the money.(3) DIMITROV made six agents immediately available for infiltration operations. Three of these six were successfully infiltrated on 10 December, carrying leaflets signed in the name of the Bulgarian Democratic bloc, the emigre political group organized, and head by DIMITROV.DIMITROV remained under Greek control until he left Greece by air to Frankfurt.

However, their well laid plans were wrecked by the arrival of a baby daughter while they were in Rome, Italy on their first step toward immigration. According to KELLY, this event forced their return to Athens where he eventually got involved in Bulgarian operations. He declared that had their plans worked out, he and his former wife had agreed to part company once they were safely ensconced in the United States.9. Ve feel this account should be on record at the Station because judging from the past performance the infamous Lyle O. KELLY (P) probably will come to our attention again.

Subject came to Station attention as a result of a pre- marital investigation which was being conducted by LNEASE on Kalliopi Stylianou GERALEXIS; aka "Poppy", Mrs. Dimitrios DIMITROF, born 18 August 1941 in Athens, Greece who was married to Subject in a civil ceremony in Italy on 4 July 1962. The marriage was not recognized by Greek law. Under separate cover is a copy of the LNEASE memo which outlines Subject's allegations regarding collaboration with WOFIRM.3. The marital investigation turned up the following traces from the Liaison Section of the American Embassy in Madrid, Spain: "This office has information on a Diko DIMITROFF, who may be identical with Subjeet's (GERALEXIS') former husband. A source of unknown reliability reported in 1965 that Diko DIMITROFF had connections with the Bulgarian Intelligence Service and with a dissident group in Bulgaria. DIMITROFF represents himself as a film producer".4. The only remotely identifiable traces at Athens Station are on a Dimitri DIMITROV aka Dimitur Adamov DIMITROV, DOB circa 1920, who was a member of the Bulgarian Agrarian Party and a student who fled to Greece in 1946. (Source: PGA-4769 of 8 March 1950, file 33-5-2). He was in contact with the A.D. at that time and reported that he had an order to go to Washington for a time.

General DIMITROV called the undersigned on 30 March to say hello and request a meeting. We met for dinner at the Astoria Restaurant at 8 p.m., 31 March.2. During the course of the evening, Dico said he had seen my boss. When I asked whom he meant, he replied, Dick Helms. He said he had known Helms for years and further that he had seen him that Thursday in order to find out his position on the new organization the General was in which was holding its first rally, the next evening in New York. (This organization has something to do with rabid anti-communism and support for the U.S. in the Vietnam war.) The General said Helms' position was one of go ahead; he had no strong feelings supporting or condemning such a group.3. Dico made further loud comments about support for the war. Our waitress overheard and mentioned that she was leaving the next morning for Saigon to entertain troops and to find out what the war was really about. Dico made a small scene about how wonderful this was, etc.4. The General is the most rabid anti-communist I have ever met. For him there can be no compromise between them and the Free world; they must all be destroyed. After continuing on in this vein for some time, he finally quit. Also, he stated at the beginning of the evening that he did not drink and then proceeded to have a combination of drinks fairly fast. He did not appear drunk, but with each drink he got louder and louder. The other diners paid little attention, however, due to music and other covering noises.# SECRET

On 30 March 1967 the Subject, who identified himself as General Dimitrov, called your Office seeking an interview. During the afternoon of the same date two representatives of my Office interviewed the Subject in his hotel room in Washington, D. C.3. The Subject stated that he was born in Bulgaria, is currently stateless and has applied for United States citizenship. He related a detailed account of his former activities as a Bulgarian Freedom Fighter; claimed that he cooperated with a United States military mission in Bulgaria in the 1940's and stressed the fact that his only goals in life are the elimination of the world-wide menace of Communism and the liberation of Bulgaria. He claims to have cooperated in the past with the United States Information Agency and Radio Free Europe and to have offered his services and those of his freedom fighters to former Presidents Truman, Eisenhower and Kennedy.4. The Subject claimed to have visited your Office in April 1962 as a result of a referral from the White House. He advised that he is currently a Vice-President of the Anti-Communist International and works closely with former United States Representative Hamilton Fish from New York who is one of the principal sponsors of this organization. Dimitrov is currently staying in New York City and advised that he came to Washington to congratulate you on your appointment as Director of Central Intelligence; to advise you that he is attempting to form a World TribunalSECRETI![GROUP 1 Excluded from automatic downgrading and declassification]

SECRETto counteract the anti-American feeling which Betrand Russell is spreading throughout the British Isles and Europe; and to seek $50,000 from CIA to enable him to start production in Greece and Spain on a movie concerning the history of Greek mythology. The Subject claimed that, once he had successfully completed this film, he would be given world recognition and could then do what ha feels is his real goal in life, namely to produce filma depicting the evils of Communism.5. A review of Agency files discloses that, during the period October 1950 through March 1951, the Subject was utilized by OPC in Athens, Greece and provided 21 agents for infiltration into Bulgaria. In early 1951, various operational and administrative difficulties began to manifest themselves and it was decided that the Subject should be removed from his position. In April 1951 it came to OPC's attention that Subject intended to sell his knowledge of CIA's activities to the French Intelligence Service. Because of operational security considerations stemming from his duplicity and personal make-up, it was deemed inadvisable to leave the Subject at large in Greece and it was decided that he should be transferred to the CIA holding facility at Fort Clayton, Panama. He remained thers until January 1954.6. In May 1953, a CIA case officer was dispatched from Headquarters to Fort Clayton where he interrogated the Subject. It was determined at that time that whatever operational knowledge the Subject had of CLA, its methods, personnel and operations were obsolete.7. On or about 12 Jammary 1954, while still at Fort Clayton, the Subject signed a Certificate of Understanding and was temporarily removed to Greece due to the termination of the holding facility and the fact that there were no immediate2SECRET

Efforts were made to effect the Subject's migration toCanada, New Zealand, Australia and elsewhere, but to no availAfter due consideration by interested Headquarters elements andthe Athens Station, it was decided that the most effective solutionfor the Subject's disposal would be to let him immigrate to theUnited States on his own under the Refuges Relief Act program,but without any assistance from CIA.3. Since his arrival in the United States, the Subject   has come to our attention on the following occasions:On 14 May 1957, the Department of Stateinformed CIA that the Subject had contactedtheir Office and tried to interest them inpurchasing a featare length film scriptand asked if a representative of CIA wouldlike to meet the Subject and discuss thescript. The offer was turned down.On 28 June 1960, the Subject attempted toarrange a meeting with the then Vice-President Richard M. Nizon. A memberof Mr. Nixon's staff turned the matter* over to Mr. F. J.
