The Uee Oe tposis Ls An Aid In Lntorrogatio In tbe Sapteaber, l947 issua of The Peederis Disest, thare is an artiele entitled "Do As Tou're Told," vhich describes the interrogetio by the use of lommosis or a Razi sulrerins captain. This article ws a reprint froa a aimiar but mare elaborate artiele in Collier's. I hava seen tuo othur ertieles on the sene mubject and have rend a ecientific treatise on its nse.. One of the ortstending features of this mathod is thet whan properly usod the person lypnotized has no meory of having done anything but gone ofr to aloop- There is also almost no chancs of thare being aw proof of its baving been applied. 3. Therafore, in  opinion, we wola be safe to use it inthis contry in carefully salected cases umder carafally planmed safeguards vith lucrative results. This is naturally a delicate oparation and one in vhich not pore than cne other than the operatar hinself and the victin shauld participate. The place of inter rogation will usually bave to be in a private bone.

L.I might podestly claia in pessing to beve had a clcse association and great intorest in the business of. interrogation througbout the var, and I am confident that a faflime to exploit this techmique ssans the loss of a great deal af valuable infornatio. For thet reason I recomend thet I be granted autbority to procesd carefully to experinent in this field with the aid of a profesaional nor eployed inI further request that there be no third party perticipation in this vork any more than there is any such perticipation inmost delicate and secret projects.
