4. I wish to invite your attention to the need of more intensivè exploraticn of tecinizues in use by the Russians and Satellites, including Ohina. Acparently their najor emphasis is on the development of especially trained teans for obtaining insomatien without the usé of narcctics, hypnosis, or special rechanicsl devices which require the serrices of specialists. Their nethods produce results which meet their objectives. The methods can be employed extensively en large nuabers of persons if required, without the use of interrcgation persennel difficult to recruit. The Russians and Satellites can cbtain results without the use of obsolete zethods of physical torture, and it would te very difficult, if not alrost inpossible, to prove thet they to not adhere to the "Geneva Conven-. tion agreoments.".
