SEG Ve ngs Be Development Stage Upon the Collapses of the original concept of broadcasting undor exile auspices, RFZ necessarily utilized some exile personnel endorsed and recommended by the lesders of the various nationality groups. As tochnical radio facilities came inte being, exiles with radio baekground or writing talont were required for the production of programs. This . involved using individuals eminently qualified by oxperience to do a radio job of seript writing, announcing, acting, ete., without regard einen ned for the fact that such tndividuale might bo porgona non prata with one er another political faction or leader of an exile “Council”. It also involved elimination of proven inefficient, inept or unworthy individuals without regard for thelr exile "Council" sgonsorship. in either instance eriticiam of RFE was predicteble and indesd wuc always forthcoming == often in virulent and dishcaezt form. The day to dey operation of RFZ developed new techniques and long ranges plana which sade it impossible ta employ non-entities of no polities! color or conviction. Ths best people to produco prograns in harmony with NCFE*KPE purgosss end policies necessarily were persone known in their own countries for tnair views on domestic political af~ fairs and their antieComnuni st activities. Uardehitting propaganda reguilred hard-hitting personalities wiose know: association with RPE aad its programs would add walidity and significance for our captive audiences. Gradually, therefore, the nationality desks of RFE at Kew York and Munich were staffed with tested, qualified exilea who had been

Many indeed ore members of ting Councils, but ure mon of suffiolent stature to give thelr primary allegiance to the non-partisan policy of RFE. The “decisive factor is that tinrs be no controversy ur quastion about their anti-Comuuniat convictions aad records. At this point, 16 must be noted that our target countries have bean aubjest to ropotitive political ferment prior to and following World Wer II, as well as the successive occupations of Nazi and Communist Armies. The tempor of the times, therefore, in which these exiles have lived for the past fifteen years has been one of excitement, bitterness, recrimination, rivalries, and personal turmoil -@ all stemming from both domestic and foreign struggles for power. The times have produced a bumper crop of refugee traitors, collaborators, and opportunists and at the sane time have developed pure Westera atyle democrats, true national patriots, and unselfis!: honest men. Tho exile who stood by placidly through the era is not much good, heowevor talented, as a militant messene- gor of hope via RFR; exiles who were honorably astive in public effairs at home, and who had radio talent were, therefore, the only kind of personnel suituble for RFE purposes.

fe reek eres sane ncrees es Go de employ properly qualified individuals, regardlesa of exile polities. In the exvoution of this polley individuals who were useless’ were eliminated without regard for political spenscra. This precess still goes on. Similarly, talentad szile personalities recruited from any soursco wore employed wherever neodod. Thie procesa still goes one Both proceasos are in vogue with a healthy disregard for exile pulitical nuances and protests. Noltnor process ia satisfactory to self-styled exile leaders since it follows that the appointment of an individual sponsored by one faction as @ ropresentative of its views, inevitably will evoke howls of rage and criticism from the opvosite faction. This is an accepted fact of exile life. We have to live with it and got on with the job. Summary Our formative and development experiences evolved the present and continuing exile personnel policies of RFZ. Exile desk employees, whether at New York or Munich, must respond to three teats, (a) Security slearance, (o) Endorsement of teannisal profictency, (c) Sufficient stuture to eliminate exile partisan interests from program content. » [I « CRITERIA AND METHODS OF PERSONYEL SELECTION Recruitment -- General Principles The best source of exile personne! is referral by "none profeasional® exiles themselves. dAuong @]1] natienalitios there are @ § «@
Be eR TTA mNENKT TLE Mind ee Im many talented refugees who need employment and who can supply RFS's neeli for script writers, actors, announcers, etc. Accordingly, desk staffing has been accomplished by examining the qualifications of duly recommended individuals, whether the recomzendations come from political personalities or otherwise. Selection is based on tho ability of the individual to fill a need efficiently in turning out or participating in planned programs. Recruitment Ls determined only by ideological security, independance of exile politics, and personal ability. fhis is not to say that many individual exiles naving decided personal con= victions and well-known political records are not employed, but a positive statement is made that those exile empleyees who now produce RFE programs reflect the policies and guidance of RFE rather than pro# -~ a motion of partisan objectives and personalities. Recruitment -- Detailed Procedures fhe personnel complement of each RFE nationality desk is feunded on a hard core of dependable individuals, usually two or three people, including the chief of the desk. “Dependability” is established by exhaustive inguiry at all available sources to establish the desir- abllity, reliability, technical proficiency and security of the working core of the desk. Sources usad ares (a) Exile pylitigal personalities in the United States, (b>) Exile references of high standing and known im- partiality in the United States and Overseas, (e) Overseas contacts and personal knowledge of our American representative in Europe.
