(MISCELLANEOUS) During my tour of duty, 0800 hours 12 November 1969
through 0800 hours 13 November 1969, as Duty Agent (DA), 108th Military Intel-
ligence Group, Region I, 26 Federal Plaza, New York, New York (MIGP), the fol-
lowing information was received telephonically from an anonymous male caller,
who stated substancially as follows:
At 2105 hours the call was received and the unidentified male stated that
an active duty US Army Enlistedman, PVT Victor L. TRINKALA, US 527-87-228, DD
Form 2-A, card number, D-323-485, issuing officer, LT James Kraft (Phonetic),
Field Artillery, left New York City four or five days prior to 12 November 1969
enroute to Cakland Army Terminal, Oakland, California for shipment to the Republic
of Vietnam. TRINKALA completed HIS Basic Combat Training at Fort Jackson, Colum-
bia, South Carolina and HIS Advanced Individual-Training at Fort Polk, Louisiana,
HE was in New York City on HIS authorized travel time to Oakland Terminal. While
in New York City, unknowingly, HE was contacted by a "Soviet Agent! Since the
"Soviet Agent" contacted TRINKALA and found HIM to be a Conscientious Objector (CO),
enroute to Vietnam, he, the "Soviet Agent", plans to use this as a propaganda pitch
against the US, reason being that since TRINKALA is a known CO by the Army, the
Army is still sending HIM to Vietnam, and will make HIM serve in a combat zone,
against HIS will. The caller stated that he was a former US Army Captian, Spec-
ial Agent in the Counterintelligence Corp and that his former credential-badge
humber was 10-837. He stated that this badge number could be verified through
the records at Fort Holabird, Maryland. He called inlorder for this office to
send a "twix" to Oakland Army Terminal and cancel TRINKALA'S orders or to de-
tain HIM in Cakland. The calleris reason for calling and explaining the situa-
tion was to prevent the US embarrassment. The caller stated that he planned to
travel to Washington, DC in the near future to inform the "proper" authorities
of the incident concerning TRINKALA and the "Soviet Agent". The caller was re-
leased from East Germany approximately one year ago but would not discuss this
on the telephone because of security reasons, nor would he discuss any other
information concerning TRINKALA telephonically. He refused to release his identity
because he was a civilian and did not want to get involved with an Army matter.
AGENT'S NOTES: The caller seemed to be very knowledgeable of the Army.
and knew many Army terms. He was very relaxed and co-operative when he was asked
questions but refused to come to this office to discuss the incident on 12 Novem-
ber1969 nor at a future date. He conversed with the undersigned for approximately
thirty minutes and kept putting additional coins in the public pay telephone.
