plant the roots of intelligence
work so that the sources can
not be detected by the enemy,
Today some of the higher
level men in foreign govern
ments express admiration for
progress that has been made
by the United States in the
last 20 years. In fact, they
speak in terms of warm ad-
miration for the achieve
ments of Allen Dulles. This
does not mean that they
criticize the reported plans
for reorganization which have
been mentioned in the
American press lately. Some
of these specialists in
Europe say reforms are long
overdue in all intelligence
activity - especially in re-
lation to the public's under
standing of the work.
