An alleged plan of operations was outlined in the message. It

provided for the British and United States forces to withdraw from the
European plain after hostilities break out with the idea of holding firmly
the coastal regions of Belgium, France, Germany, and Holland, to an extent
of approximately 80 miles. Mechanized troops were to be used with naval
and air support. It was stated that the mountainous region in northern
Spain and northern Italy would be held by signal troops. A separate body
of troops would support them in occupation of Germany, Austria, and the
Swiss Alps “to contain the Soviet forces.“
also alleged that efforts would be made to b7E

properly indoctrinate the public in Great Britain and United States for
support in the war and that. thereaft^nAa.tomic bombs would be used to obtaiin
quick results. It was stated that urgent efforts were being made to complete
these plans. France was said to be aware of them and'consequently to be
greatly concerned.

Recently it has been necessary for me to visit various-

points in the Territory, even though for a short period of J^me, Ilf
connection with the regular office investigative work. ^X^ccagioh’
has presented itself for me to meet Commander LLOYD C ^KERSEY?,
Director of Naval Intelligence in the 17th Naval District,Kand
meet bn various occasions with Colonel L. B^TOOLE, Director o
Security and Intelligence in the Alaskan Department, Fort Richardson,'
Alaska. Various items of information have been developed and ±he
Bureau should not make this matter known to any

In connection with the Army operations and plans, Colonel

TOOLE has advised that the only real installations which will be
kept urider present plans are as follows?
1. Headquarters of the Alaskan Department at Fort Richardson,

• on which considerable construction work will be made during
the coming Summer months
2. Increase, in the Army personnel at Adak
3. Additions to the Air Base at Shemya
4. Additions to the Army Base at Ladd Field, Fairbanks
At present there are approximately 20,000 men assigned I

to the Alaskan Department. About 10,000 are assigned to Fort '
Richardson, some 7,000 to Adak and the remaining are assigned to-
Ladd Field, Shemya, about 500-on Attu and caretaker forces at
various small Army Camps, s'uch as Unimak, Cold Bay^ Amchi tâ*>
Home and a- few at Wales and Teller. Probably the on
the Army as far as the Alaskan Department is concerned are the
bases at Wales and Teller, Alaska and the Bureau will note from
the map their strategic importance. A survey was conducted during
the war months by the Engineering Department in connection with the
Alaska Railroad and a railwayjine^was^surveyed—fronrâirbanks
toJWales-and- TelierR”AtR5bth Wales and Teller there were a number
of under-ground installations mad'e and runways have been 'constructed
which are about 10,000 fe'et long. The Army contemplates these bases
as points of operation should any hostilities arise nearby. They
are considered as bases adequate for the handling of planes carrying
atomic bombs. *
It is not known whether the railroad will be run from

Fairbanks; to the-above mentioned points. However, the plans have
been- drawn and whether this-v/ork is done will depend on Congressional
appropriations for the Army and the final size of- the Army and the
amount of personnel which will be assigned to the Alaskan Department.
Colonel TOOLE has advised that any amount of men who

are normally assigned to Alaska are really of no benefit as far as
- 2 -
fighting forces are concerned, it "being recalled that Alaska is
between 1/5 and 1/4 the size of the entire United States.. Travel
in the territory, except" between Anchorage and Fairbanks, is
entirely by plane and consequently it would take a £orce of at
least 100,000 to make any sort of adequate assignment of Army
personnel to the Territory of Alaska, according to Army authorities.
As soon as any additional information’ in regard to the

above matters are known to this office, the Bureau,, of course,
will be advised.

military union between England and America were in the offing. He also advised
that prior to his departure from England, Marshal Montgomery held a conference
in England in which twenty-six Generals, who had shown progress in the various
fronts, had participated, The purpose of this conference was (1) use of atomic

bases are reported to be ready for use and the studies which were made from the
viewpoint of operations, especially weather conditions, clothing and equipment
of various units, have been completed. The necessary materials, equipment and
clothing, according to the Turkish Ambassador, will go into prompt production
based on these investigations. . '

of information confidentially which might be of interest to the Bureau:
.Colonel L.R. Forney advised Mr. Reynolds in extreme confidence that

he had learned that General Chaiiberlain. has become very much disgusted with the
operations of the Central Intelligence Group-in Europe. Colonel Forney stated
that General Chamberlin had' an opportunity to observe the. operations of the
Central Intelligence Group agents while on a recent trip through Europe., Accord-?
ing to Colonel Forney, General Chamberlin observed that the identity of the GIG
secret agents is known by everybody and, in addition to this, the agents are
"messing Up" the situation tremendouslyZc<T(Tjl
Colonel Forney also pointed but that Dr. Gialotti. (phonetic), whd- is
the individual ybu will recall who has furnished Colonel Forney information on
Communist activities in Italy, advised Colonel, Forney that the CIG representative
in Italy is- a 26-year old young man whose only bid to recognition appears to be
that he is th® heir to the National Cash Register fortune. Colonel Forney stated
that, according to Dr. Gialotti, this individual spends all of his time at teas
and mixing with the so-aalled Italian society. As a result, this activities and
identity are wall known , and he is not getting an accurate picture as to the true
conditions In Italy».J0^\ m

they run into any mechanical difficulties or any difficulties from intercepting
Russian planes, the, airplanes can be destroyed without disclosing to the Russians
the mechanical equipment on board or the purpose of the mission. He indicated
that it vras felt that of the sixty airplanes a reasonablo number should be
successful in returning with, the desired information.^^
Colonel Clarke also informed mr. Reynolds that he had heard, but
has been unable to verify the fact, that Stalin, oh Red Army Day decorated a.
Russian flyer for flying his airplane to the United States and reutrnirigJjgT
It should he noted that all of the above information was obtained by

Dear- Sir:
Please be advised that ___________________ Investigatory Security Sect

Oklahoma City Air Technical Service Command, Tinker. .Fields Oklahoma City.
is extremely cooperative with this office and.who has requested that under
circumstances should his identity be divulged, has furnished the information vurr f/
that is set forth hereinbelow. ' t
_________________ stated that recently the Army had initiated a top secret
program and. is taking immediate steps to modify the P-47 and B-29 airplanes,
and he feels that this modification or reconversion is for the purpose of
installing more and heavier, fire power and to equip these planes to carry a
greater capacity of bombs.P stated that he was recently designated
to inspect the security of one of the reconversion establishments on the west
scoast,, which, like Tinker Field, has been‘designated as a reconversion center
for these airplanes. He stated he was astounded to learn of the security
^measures that*are being -taken by the eriny in this regard. He further advised
that recently-while he was in Albuquerque, New Mexico, one of the reconverted
.•planes landed at Kurtland Field in .Albuquerque and that before, the piano was
= permitted to. land, a caravan of guards was established on the field; that when
the plane did land guards -were placed around this particular plane, and no
-individual was, permitted to approach the plane.
Be further advised -that, iôrmation has been^repeived by him, to the ef

fect, that in all probability by the first of January, 1948, the reconversion
of the B-36 planes vri.ll likewise be placed into effect, and he i s of the
opinion that* Tinker Field will be one of the reconversion centers, designated
for modification of the B-3S.
■He stated* that the instructions that have been received regarding the

2008, State Department Annex No. 2 (former Temporary Building F) on 23d Street

of stat?. iirspeciai Assistant to the Director pf the Office of European Affairs,
He advised that it was his. opinion that the Department of State had
made it? last effort to stop Soviet expansion in the Marshall Plan and that if this
Plan fell through, as it well might fall through,, our foreign relations would be in ,
•the hands of the newly created. Department of Defense. In commenting upon the
Bureau’s jurisdiction over Soviet agents, Mr. Murphy stated that we might be in X
a position to have to round them up'within a year. ;f l
* Mr. Murphy made available eight copies of an enlarged map with •'
attached text relating to Gulag, which is the, forced labor camp administration of
the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD).’ These copies, are attached. Mr. Murphy
stated that they were being distributed, through the State Department contacts in
Italy, France, Belgium and Holland and. were having good effect on non-Coinmunist 1
governmental leaders in those countries. He stated that they were not beirigC.* -*-* 11

• Mr. Murphy observedthat the above mentioned chart was the only real
counter propaganda the State Department was handling at the present time. He
pointed but that the radio broadcasts to Russia did* not contain counter propaganda
and, moreover, were not beamed to the people we wished to influence. He pointed
out-that-toe "Voice of America" programs were picked up only by those lead&ra
of the government or of the Communist Party who were highly enough placed to
own private radios, and a presentation of American life, mixing toe bad stories
the good features* was of no real benefit from a propaganda standpoint. It < _
.^yjwa's Mr. Murphy’s feeling that we should at this time start to concentrate on counter

They left on .the morning of the 20th and were to- remain in Fairbanks
for one day and then proceed to Whitehorse and return through Canada
to the States. Apparently all of the above men were being escorted
by military personnel and they did not make any effort- to contact
this office or any members of the naval service. I wanted to point
this out to. the Bureau inasmuch as it may be entirely possible that upon
their return to Washington they will make a number of recommendations
as' to what is and what is not proper to be done in the Territory of

As a point of information for the BuretS^-^x-^îxe&^dSc^t5^

forth information that from a observation of the numerous air bases
that are being placed in the Territory of Alaska it is obvious that
a'tremendous amount of construction'and defensive-offensive military

interesting to note from a5'map of th^Territory that there are<presently
air bases through Canada, "Jihe points ^f;which are known to the Bureau,
and at Snag on the 'Cana'dianÂlhskan border., There are alsobases at
Northway'; Tanana, Big Delta, 26/Mile, Ladd Field,- Clear, andJNenana.

at 26 Mile is seven miles long, according to information furnished
to me by Navy Captain HUCKINS and Major PHILLIP REED of the Army*
However, it will be noted that 26 Mile is not considered as the
best field for heavy bombers inasmuch as Clear is reported to be
preferred and to have runways that are able to withstand the shock
of any -type of bomber on the planning boards of the Army or'.'Navy*
I have received the information that three squadrons

of the heaviest type of Army bomber now existing were ordered !©
26 Mil'e airfield. They will consist of 30 bombers to the squadron^
making a total of 90 B-50 bombers* It is believed that the bombers
will be B~50s'instead of B-36s*
/■ s
It is observed that these airfields are spaced closely
together around Fairbanks and I have 'inquired of the G-2 officer
as to the reasons for putting the airfields close together, as a
matter of information* They have advised that the- type of country
is suitable for building.airfields in the vicinity of Fairbanks*
Referral/Consult
During the spring and summer, the Army has been building
a railroad spur track from the northern terminus of the Alaska
Railroad', which is at Fairbanks, paralleling the Alcan Highway to the
26 Mile airfield. *
. According to Special Agents DANIEL B. BRYAN arid
GENE S«. NORRIS, the Army has indicated that they intend to abandon
the placing of this railroad track between 26 Mile' airfield and
Fairbanks. It will be noted that it has been maintained wherever
completed.
.There are ariumberdfoutter_perimQter fighter bases

and the principal one of these is located at Galeria. It is reportGd
that this will be a fighter base for jet propelled planes•

The referenced memorandum indicate^ a request that a- check- be

’'Grab” lists and to determine whether these lists include civilian members' pf the
Department of Defense and. its components, as well as the Military and Naval,

"MEMORANDUM, FOR THE DIRECTOR Mr. Nease
Miss G andy
Colonel L. R. Forney advised Supervisor S. W. Reynolds in extreme

confidence that he had contacted Mr. Ladd confidentially and advised that the
Bureau should watch their Embassy coverage on an hourly basis.
Colonel Forney pointed out that the Port of Bremerhaven is used by

the American Forces for embarkation and disembarkation; that Bremerhaven is
surrounded by the Russian Zone. He pointed out that the trains traveling from
Bremerhaven to Frankfort have to travel through the Russian Zone and through
Berlin. He stated that the Russians have issued regulations that all trains
will be stopped and thoroughly searched. Colonel Forney stated that the Russians
have been advised that the American Forces will not permit their trains to be
searched and any attempt to search these trains by the Russians will be met
, ’with gunfire.
Subsequently, the radio reported that all trains leaving Berlin for
Frankfort had been stopped by the American authorities until the travel regu
lations are straightened out, however, an American military train did leave
Berlin for Frankfort. The guard force on this train allegedly had been greatly
augmented and were armed with carbine rifles. The radio, of course, made no
comment as to the orders that had been issued inasmuch as this is highly secret
at the present time.
As previously advised, Colonel Forney stated that it should never

be disclosed that he had furnished this information to the Bureau.

SUBJECT:
At 12:25 PM today, Colonel Forney called me and asked if he

could furnish me some information without any danger of it ever being Er. Pennln^Ton
traced back, to him. I told him that he could. He then stated that we zzz?
should vratch our Embassy coverage on an how? to hour basis. He then ilhoSg*- ■. ■■ :
hung up. Apparently Colonel Forney wastryingtopass-onto.the JBureau—-----------
information indicating that there is an important development braaking at '
the moment and accordingly I called ASAC. Belmont of New York at 1:00 PM and
advised: him of the. above. I, instructed that he alert the personnel on the
techs in New York, that he review fiis coverage to.be sure .that he has ample
coverage and. that any information is immediately-balled to his attention and
to the Bureau’s attention.
I also called ASAC Hennrich in the absence of SAC Hottel, gave hiia
the same information and instructed him to also include in this coverage
the satellite countries.
A call is also being made to the San Francisco Office to likewise

alert them with reference to the coverage of the Russian Consulate in that
city.
It would' appear from the above that there is some indication of a

possible break in diplomatic relations with the Russians or possibly even
something of a more serious .nature.

In accord Tri.th your instructions, Messrs. Fletcher, Whitson Tele^Rooa^—*
Ur. Nease
and Cleveland attended a briefing at Room 2E789, Pentagon*Building,
Pentagon* Building, Miss Gandy""’ *
beginning at Is 00 p.m. today onthe.subjectmatter of the Strategic

VulnerabilityoftheUnite'd "States from the Standpoint of its Industrial
Potentials. This briefing, Yzhich was merely a preliminaiy to the three-
day briefing occuring from September 29 through' October 1, 1948, covered
five main subject matters. The first dealt T/ith the broad strategic
vulnerability of United States industry, in which it -was pointed out thab
many of the necessary materials for industry were produced in single plants '
and that.our big industrial concentration for the most part was in the
Northeast Central region. The second phase of the briefing dealt with the
vulnerability of communications. This involved not only the vulnerability 1
of long lines, but also of outside and inside apparatus, as well as the
difficulty of replacement parts. Here again, it was pointed out that a
relatively small number of key factories provided all of the various
components of the electronics industiy which are necessary for communication^.^
The.third phase of the briefing covered the strategic vulnerability

of the chemical industry in the United States where, more than in any other
field, production is limited to one factory and even operates under one roof.
Here, for the first time, was stressed the dependence of many phases of
American industry on imports of raw materials from abroad. An example of
concentration of pure chemicals was given in the case of metallic sodium
in which, as is already well known to the Bureau, a plant at Niagara Falls,
New York, and a plant at Baton Rouge, Louisiana, furnish the entire output Q
for the United States. It was indicated that both of these plants could be bJ
sabotaged 100 per cent by_a sh lines used in the
process.... (v
The fourth portion of the briefing covered the world aspect of

United States dependence on imports for its war potential. It was shown
that 60 per cent of the raw materials needed in the war effort must be
imported; 26 per cent from Latin America; 5 per cent from Mexico; five per
cent from Southeast Asia; four per cent from the South Pacific area; eight
per cent from Canada; and Greenland and twelve per cent from Africa. It was
$ pointed out that strategically we receive, nothing of importance from ary
area outside the Western Hemisphere north*of‘the 38th meridian and that'
the strongest Soviet thrusts are 6ccurring} in 'those area!s along jthe 38th
meridian which would effect our ac^

Memo for Mr. Ladd
■with a hostile attack* The Soviet war potential was for the most part
negligible as a factor for an attack against the United States at this
time, with the exception of their submarine fleet, which, of course, could
prevent the receipt of raw materials and might .be used as firing platforms
for guided missies and other such weapons._
——=- - Of possible interest to the Bureau it was pointed out that the
Soviet merchant fleet and the. supply vessels, of the Soviet Navy are not
believed at this time sufficiently numerous to provide supplies for a
division of troops which the Soviets might land in ‘Alaska. (yj
A definite impression was gained that in considering the strategic

vulnerability of the United States they were disregarding any possibility
of the United States having bases in Europe or that Western Europe could be
counted upon for supplying anything of military value to the United States./*
One point was stressed by the last speaker to the effect that with
air bases on the British Isles or even in Iceland the Soviet air fleet
at the present time could not stage any more than one-way bombing runs
on the Continental United States with their present B-29, of which it was
estimated they have approximately 100 and which fleet could not be materially
increased up to and including the year 1955. A rather flat statement was
made that the Russians do not have the atomic bomb, and the earliest estimate
as to when it could be perfected would be 1950 or more possibly 19’53^^^
The destructive power of the present atomic bomb was described

as total destruction for 2^- square miles and partial destruction for an area
of 10 square miles.' Possible radiation effects were said to be 20 square
miles* One bomb dropped over* the reflecting pool of V/ashingtqn would make
the City of Washington uninhabitable. Seven such bombs well placed would
destroy New York City, Newark and Jersey City^x^

Secretary of the Air Force Stuart Symington requesting

on q Government-wide basvs. . -3E. T' ~ *-. ~~
Hr, Symington called me on Thursday, September 16, with
further reference to this matter, he' having discussed it with me
previously, I told Mr, Symington that I had discussed the matter
briefly with you; that you felt he should undertake the job with
the assistance of General Carroll and the ex officio assistance
of the Bure.au, I pointed out the fact that it. is obvious domestic
security and intelligence is in a much better condition than foreign
intelligence at the present time and I called his attention to the
existing foreign intelligence setup under CIA which, although we
are not intimately familiar with its Operations, certainly has
rendered very little assistance to the Bureau since its formation,
I also referred to the coriic s'etiip of OSS. which was infiltrated
with subversives, fellow-travelers, and misfits. .1 explained the
SIS jurisdiction of the Bureau in the Western Hemisphere during
World War Two and its effectiveness and accomplishmentsi T pointed
out that you did not feel that you should undertake, a survey of tjhis
kind, since Mr, Symington wanted to make such a recommendation,
because of the unfriendly attitude of certain elements of the govern
ment, I also explained the situation pertaining to the special study
of CIA presently being made by Mr. I Per afosi
------------- 1 b7C
Mr, Symington advised me on Thursday that he had" in mind
writing a letter to Secretary. Forrestal declining to make the survey
because of the dye date of October 15 and- because of his responsi
bilities as Secretary of the Air Force, He planned to recommend
that it was obvious that one man should head up the job of running
internal and foreign intelligence and security, He stated he was
not lanning to place your name in the letter but he thought it
wo be obvious that he was referring to you,,

as members, I pointed out to Mr, Symington that I thought his
letter was very bad; that obviously it would not be possible for
you to accept the Chairmanship of a committee consisting of cabinet
officers and that if anyone other thah you were placed in such a
position it would mean that that individual would, in effect, take
over the operation of the FBI, Army, Navy and Air Force, He had
not thought of this angle and stated that obviously this was not
intended by him. He then stated he would have General Carroll come
over this morning and shaw me the letter to see if we could work
out some other procedure,
------------- I confenred^wijih frenergl Carroll this morning, I pointed
out the same objections to Mr, Symington rs plan tbhim and he ioas-------
in entire agreement with my observations, I then told him that
I had mentioned the matter briefly to you and that you felt the
solution to this whole problem was to reinstitute a program similar
to that of SIS wherein Army, Navy and Air Intelligence would handle
intelligence matters within their own jurisdictions and the FBI
would handle, domestic intelligence and security and, if desired,
could expand a program similar to SIS on a worldwide basis, I
reminded him of the effectiveness of this setup in World War Two,
explained the frequent conferences between the. intelligence heads
of the various agencies, I also explained to him that as was true
during World War Two such a setup as this could call before it
representatives of other interested agencies such as Treasury,
Commerce, Immigration, etc, and when matters arise within their
jurisdictions of interest in the internal security and intelligence
fields they could be worked out by the joint intelligence heads.
General Carroll was in complete agreement and will try to convince
Mr, Symington that he should make a general recommendation along
this line to Secretary Forrestal in the event he continues in his
view that he should not make the survey,
genera,! Carroll indicated that possibly Secretary Forrestal,
who has not been in agreement with Secretary Symington in all respects
may have unloaded his'problem-on Symington on the theory that re
gardless of what recommendation he makes it will get Symington "in
dutch" with various agencies of the government.
General Carroll wondered what the position of the National
Security Council would be in the event of a setup such as the one
to which I referred, I told him that I was not entirely familiar
with the responsibilities of the Council, General Carroll feels that-
some recommendation will come out of the various .studies with
respect to internal and foreign security and intelligence but
apparently the^powers that beware reluctant to make any recommenda
tion at this time which would indicate a lack of confidence in CIA
since to do so might reflect unfavorably upon the present administra
tion in the forthcqming election. He stated he would discuss the
entire matter further with Secretary Symington and if anything arose
in which we were- interested he would keep us advised.

As, instructed, Mr. Idsh Hhitson, Ur. 17. y. Cleveland, iir. H. B.

Fletcher attended a three-day briefing on the strategic vulnerability
of the. United States conducted by the Intelligence Division of the krny
at the x’entagon Building, September 2$r 30 and October 1, 1948.
(U)
On August, 12, 1948, the various .Army Commands had been instructed
to .make a survey of their areas of critical and vital installations and
facilities which was apparently based upon the Vital Facility list furnished
to tjie Bureau by Secretary of Defense Forrestal and which was likewise furnished
to bur Field Divisions. The survey was also initiated because the Intelligence
Division of the Army since July, 1946, has been engaged in a. study of the
strategic vulnerability of the United States. It appeared that the various
Army Commands had previously had representatives in Washington and they were
given the results of this study of the strategic vulnerability. Their directive
of August 12 was designed, to round out and make positive the results of the
study which had been going, on for more than .two years • Thje program of the i
conference, therefore, involved principally the reports of the various Army
Commands,
The various reports submitted’ by the Commands ate now being studied
sb that they will come up with an over-all broad, complete study of the
strategic vulnerability of the United States. It was understood that the
Bureau will be furnished,: with either the copy of the completed study or will
be furnished copies of the individual reports submitted by the. Various Army in
Commands or both.
(U)
The six different Army Commands were each allotted a two-hour
period to present their studies. It is to be noted that the Military District
of Washington, which is actually a part of the Second Amy area, also individually
presented the results of its survey. It appeared that the surveys conducted
by each Army covered the following: (TT; a>

it was obvious that the study and survey had not included the
industry involving machine tools and. it was contemplated. that the survey
as it was continued would coy® the industrial facilities with particular
It was noted that in presentation of the material the various Army

Commands a parently went? along with the results of the study which had been. *
going on for two years but they did in some instances indicate that somethings
which had been pointed out as critical and vital, as; a result of the study
were not, in fact,-critical and vital and êconne'iiddd their deletion. In
contrast thereto they made recommendations for the addition of other installations;
and facilities as being critical and vital(U)
It was apparent throughout the entire conference that the Intelligence

Division of the Tier Department has. reached the conclusion that the Continental
United states is not subject to enemy attack, having the U3pR in mind as. the
enemy. At best there? wbuld be air attack which could, not be sustained and
which would: be: merely psychological in effect, It is to. be noted, however,
that the Fourth Army, which covers principally the Mexican Border, pointed out
the distinct possibility of commando raids, originating from Mexico and the
Fourth- Array’s particular concern.was the Sandia A^my Base and the .Dos Alamos
Atomic Energy Installhtipru, The, Intelligence DiVision of the Array a parently
reached the conclusion, that direct attack or assault is most improbable,
The whole tbnor of the conference, was that the survey pointed out
that sabotage, was the most, potent weapon and that the industrial facilities
of the nation and' other vital installations> ^particularly with reference to
transportation and powerj were gop.d targets for sabotage agents, t&th
reference to sabotage, the thinking of all of the Commands was that it would
be organized and built up Within the existing Communist Party organization.
Particular concern was expressed with reference io the infiltration of labor
unions which would afford the most effective sabotage weapon through the
instigation of slow-downs and strikes as well as individual acts of physical
‘sabotage. ।•
The various Army representatives commented that it bad been

difficult fox* them to obtain information from certain segments of industry
because of similar inquiries Doing made, presumably for similar purposes,
by representatives of the Davy and Air Force since representatives of
industry were reluctant to continually furnish the sane type of information
to different-representatives of the National Military Establishment• (TJ)
- 2 -
' ' In suftftary,. each Army Command presented recommendations along, the
fallowing lines:
li Screening of plant personnel in the vital industries.
2. Increased plant guard forces plus training for- theft,
3. A plan for continuity of the survey. ; ;

. 'i ' ‘l
Effective civilian defense organization. ' :
Increased use of mechanical protective devices by industrial

facilities suchas trenches, lights^ alarms, watch towers. ..
Education of plant management and civilian 'authorities to

assume' -responsibility for effective protection.
Kg* Stites of the. Intelligence -Division, during the course of the

Conferences attended, outlined thd views of the Intelligence: Division of the
Army in a rather startliftg fashion. ’Aith reference to- the atom bpftb he
stated that .Russia does not- have the atom bomb and the: earliest date for them
to have the atoft, bomb Would be 1950 and more probably mid. 1953. Even then,
by 1955 they would have only a very small number of bombs* (U)
With reference' ip air attack on the United States he explained

that the Russians have at the best 150 planes of the B-29 type; that these
are the only planes which would have any Chance at all of attacking the United
States and they could Only make a. one-way trip with a. maximum bomb load of five
tons, A bomb, load of fiva tons would permit the carrying, of one atom bon±>
only. Their potentiality for the building, of additional planes was such, that
it could be expected by 1955 ihey would not have more than. 250 to 300 planes.
Their potentiality of attack would not be increased by the fact that they would
overrun Europe -or even. Iceland. (U)
Tilth reference to bacteriological Warfare;, be more or less brushed

it aside, indicating that it would bo difficult to introduce-bacteriological
agents as means of mass destruction and without the ability to spread this,
material by air the potentialities were vory limited with the possible
exception of plant diseases
Viith reference to attack on Alaska, he stated that the teOR does*

not have sufficient, shipping, facilities to sustain a division in Alaska.
He stated that they have not more than 430 ocean-going vessels in the merchant
fleet, many of them at least 30 years old. Their shipbuilding facilities W
such that all they could hope for Is to replace existing ships up "to 1955;
that if all of their shipbuilding facilities were-put to the task of making
aircraft carriers they could perhaps' by 1955 build one good aircraft carrier
and 15 of the smaller escort type, 'which would leave them, with carriers but
with ho supply ships to keep them going.
Itith reference to .Soviet naval napabilities, he pointed out that

the Soviets have a fleet of approximately 250 submarines, many of which were
large vessels which could be used as firing platforms for guided missiles
against targets not too far distant from the coast line of the United States.
He indicated that, the Soviet submarine fleet was the most effective unit, of
the Red Navy and could probably be used tellingly against our shipping at
the immediate outset of any hostilities. He did not anticipate any appreciable
number of; Soviet submarines equipped with the most highly developed German
submarine equipment before 1953 • 'Nith reference to the launching of guided
missiles from submarines he indicated that wouldonly.have a nuisance value
apparently because accuracy would be uncertain. (U)
On the subject of sabotage he made particular reference to the

Potomac River Railroad Bridge at Washington, D. ,C„ which is perhaps one of
the, most vital transportation installations in. the United States since it
carries all direct rail traffic from the feist to the South. Ho indicated it
would take considerable explosives properly placed to destroy this bridge and
that this was highly improbable because, haying in mind the. quantity of
explosives, it would be difficult for anyone to get it carried out and properly
- placed without being observed over a considerable period of time
A further illustration of. this impossibility of sabotage of such

installations as bridges came up during the conference when one of the Army
Commands indicated that a truck load of explosive driven out bn the George
Washington Bridge at New fork City and exploded would do nothing. Even a truck
exploded in Holland Tunnel similarly laden with explosive would, not destroy
the Tunnel(IJj
Mr. Stites also.’discussbd civilian morale and. his talk dealt

particularly with air attack bn the United States. Ho stated that a surprise
air attack would be the most effective as it yrpuld .seriously break up civilian
morale, but that intermittent and saturation bombing apparently does not have
the. effect of breaking morale unless it is sustained over a very long.period
of time. He pointed out that in Germany and.Great Britain, which did not
experience surprise attacks such ah Pearl. Harbor, it. was found that the people
were very prone to stay at home regardless bf the .destruction which was beihg
created around them. Nith. reference to Germany, so long as the anti-aircraft-^
4..
defense was kept up the bombings did not have- a. demoralizing effect but as
soon as anti-aircraft and fighter planes wore exhausted the people’s morale
broke and they were convinced they lost the war. In Japan, the Doolittle raid
caused some panic because the people had all been built up to the fact that it
couldn’t happen there. However, after intermittent bombing started, they, too,
stayed at home. Even the big fire raid on Tokyo caused no panic. The atom
bomb had no particular effect on morale immediately because it was kept quiet.
Actually the atom bomb attacks on both cities -were of a surprise nature. Yihcn
the first atom bomb was dropped apparently no one was expecting any trouble
because there >was only ode plane in the air. When the second atom bomb was
dropped the people were similarly lulled in Security because; they were not ad
vised of the attack of the one plane at the other point. After word got around
about the atom bomb in Japan the people in the various communities or cities
were prone to run out of town when even a single plane appeared in the sky and x
it was unfortunate but true that the officials of the city were, the first outw
He stated that, if a bomb were dropped oh 'Washington it could be ex

pected that |he people would im>vo but and a-big problem would occur because
others hearing ofthe attack would move in to see what had happened* ,TT,
In summing up ho stated this: Any type of air attack coupled With

propaganda could create-a panic but if Governmental officials would give the

During the coiirso of the conference Colonel Beors, Director of the

Office of Civilian Defense in the Office of &C£e.tary Forrestal,. explained
the’ development of the Civilian Defense Organization to date. He indicated
that it was believed the proposed organization would be approved and would be
in the press ina matter nf days. The civilian defense program outlines three
steps, in organization:
•rgamzaui on: (ff j
1. The development in the individual of self-help.
2. A policy of mutual assistance between individuals or groups

of individuals within a certain community.
3. A reserve mobile unit be bet wp on a state-wide, basis in

battalions of approximately 500 well-organized, well-trained groups, who could
be moved in to take care of any disaster or eventuality which proyed ,to be !U)’
beyond the control of the local community. .
X1 j ■ ■
With roferenceto .plant protection, the Civilian .Defense
zation apparently ■will not concern itself too greatly witn this problem.
Their proposal is; to pour a lot of ideas into a funnel on plant protection,
have ah oyer-311 basic plant protection program and then have it applied
by the interested military agency, whoever that might be. This basic plant
protection program or plan would become a part of the contract entered into
by the interested armed service and then in their inspection and supervision
of the work being conducted: under the contract, they would check up on the
plant protection system which would be a contractual obligation of the industrial
facility "
- * ;u;
70ne of the speakers pointed out that the. civilian defense has been -
already orgardzed in Great Britain and was in part implemented* In contrast
to the American Approach thp, civilian defense plan of .Great Britain is con-.
sidered a problem?bf the Anny rather than a civilian group or organization.
Th Great Britain civilian defense taken precedence for the military oyer
everything but the actual repelling of an invasion although in Great Britain . ,
the primary responsibility in a given area roots with the civilian government* JO
On the last day of the conference the Intelligence Division pre

sented for the consideration of those in attendance a. sabotage plap. It was.
indicated that certain assumption's were made that a ft-bay had bepn's.et> at
which time the USSR would open a broad scale offensive. The, assumption also
was that there had been act up in tho United States art effective, trailed
•sabotage group which; had certain targets outlined for them. She sabotage
efforts wero'tp begin seven days before D-Day and, of course, the main effort
would be’ made on D-Day. It was alto assumed'that the Soviets were not in
possession of thb atom. bomb. The development of the sabotage plan was pre
sented by rfeans of wire nows, tickpr seryiep and illustrated that the- first
move would probably be slow-downs and strikes: in key industries with, ,a few
targets of opportunity biging^^made, subjects of direct sabotage such as a
ship befng set on fire. V
In development;7of the plan the targets of priority were as follow^) t
Strategic aircraft. A
Atomic bomb crews. I
3. Aviation fuel. I
4. Aviation engines
5. Signa,! communications. )
6 Ocoariic shipping,
7 Basic industries.
- 6 -
8. Transportation. I
9. Industrial plant of the United States generally. I
Among interesting developments .of tho sabotage plan were race

riots in Detroit, Los Angeles, Chicago and Washington. William Z. Foster,
Chairman of the Communist Party, was shot and killed so as to give the Soviets
and the Cormtmists in the United States soma propaganda ammunition. An attempt
was made to .assassinate President. Truman. He was critically wounded. Attempts
were made on the lives of the, Commanders of the Army areas,, bne particularly
being "killed. The FBI became the target for sabotage in that Communist Party
members phoned FBI offices' all .across the United States furnishing false reports
on. sabotagcand Communists -so as to divert the FBI Agent personnel to useless
projects. um
There was also a short, discussion bn anti-aircraft defenses which

would indicate that anti-aircraft gun batteries are not effective by themselves
in creating an ideal defense. At 25,00Q feet with an ideal, arrangement of
batteries; it is possible to hit one-attacking bomber traveling 350 miles an
hour 90^ of the time. The mono attaclring planes and- the highef' their
.altitude the less probability of h killing hit. (IT) *
There wad some discussion for providing continuity in the survey^

that is, so that it would be continued And kept current. Tho iisuediato
suggestion was a- card index system.- The' card index system will be, set up
prinarily using the product of the industry as jthe control and all pertinent
information would be contained: on. the card.
Tho conference was also advised that defense plans for the United
States, bad already been sent to the various Amy Commanders. One plan
covers the period up to Juno 30, and another plan covers the next
fiscal year. JMo to their obvious confidential character they wore hot dis
cussed in detail at the conference^ but were the subject of a special con
ference involving, the. Rians and derations. Officers.
-It was also pointed out. that At this tiftd Ôyepal programs. were
receiving attention which had direct reference to the national defense. Tor
example, the National Security Pouncil is studying the problem of unconventional
attack upon tho United States. This study, which includes Lidlpgical warfare,
is being handled by the? State, Army,; Havy, Air Forces Coordinating Committee.
A plan is also being considered for a dispersal of Government functions from
Ifashington, P* 0. in the: event of hostility.. Another planning program relates
to the coordinated efforts of ‘the Army and NAvy fOr the defense' of ports and
harbors. The military establishment is engaged in. active, planning with
Canada for the defense of the northern portion of the Continent and, of course,
the Joint Chiefs of .Staff with the heads of the Army, Navy and Air Force
are engaged in offensive planning. It was announced bythc Hans and
Operations Officers' Wat the responsibilities Of the Military 'Establishment
in. connection with the enemy alien program ’would constitute an annex
to the basic? defense jplan when that had bepn settled. (jj)
poring the course of the conference several references were made

to the BBI which were pomplteehtary.. First it was noted that all .of the Army
CormandS had placed reliance op the Bureau’s ability.tp wood out subversives
and to give proper warnings of" possible sabotage. All of their language
"was to the effect that the fpi would handle this problem properly. 'ft&S'’.. (jj)
Xt wus the? unanimous opinion of those that were in attendance

that the Bureau should bo cognisant Of the results of the .survey being made
and should bo kept current on the identities of vital facilities and industries
because in. that way the Bureau could; effectively direct its. investigative
effort. *thO Second ixity representative .said that Special Agent strength
of the FBI should be kept at the top. limit at all times., A Signal, Officer,
Colonel, A. Fulsifr, Second Army representative, also made constant reference
to screening personnel at. keyfacilities to moot “FBI standards.” Ife did not
explain wliat FBI standards were but everyone apparently understood that the
standards wore high.. An explanation of FBI standards was found in the Colonel’s
remarks when he pointed out that their civilian personnel at, their communis
cation facilities were screened under the loyalty Brogram but thereafter that,
messages were banded over to commercial facilities Where there was. no screening
.and so? he Obviously intended screening in line Mth the to^liy Brogram.
Major General Charles X. Uolte commented concerning the results .of

the various surveys submitted by the Six Armies and warned that they should,
be practical at all timed and Stated that in his opinion the information they
wpre gathering and compiUhg was of value th other agencies and pointed, out'
. that particularly the FBI was intimately concerned and proper steps should
be taken by the various Armies to be certain that the FBI is kept fully informed
Ha also stated that tho FBI had these people (referring, to the Communists)
protty well covered and identified ahd that they could rely oh
During the course, of the remarks of Colonel Beers on the civilian

defense organisation, a direct question-was asked of mb as- to whether or npt
the BuTcdu -was going to, make any pliht surveys. I, told. h£m that We did, pot
have any plan, program or appropriations to handle anything dealing with plant,
surveys at this time.. Colonel Beers also inquired whether the Bureau was in
’ agreement tfith the theories proposed by the, Cffice of Civilian Boiense as
regard to plant protection*. directresponse wasipade to this question |
ad it was pointed out that Bureau representative Assistant Biracbc^ H. 11.

Ihe above matters are undoubtedly in line with information you

have in Washington but I am sending them on as they are comparatively
startling here from any source other than your own admonitions to "be
ready." Actually, the press, radio, and the general public here are
completely oblivious to any such feeling as reflected above. There is
no feeling whatever of urgency or even concern.
--------------- This office, of course, is extending every effort to comply—

with your instructions but being extremely discreet because of the
lackadaisical attitude of local press and officials, which would make
any unusual activity on our part all the more noticeable.

“PlAN. WHITE for the U. S. Army in Alaska dated 11-1-48. This plarjNca8e»-5- •’
is to be put into eff^n-h in d.i^±UKbann
of a major nature. It will be summarized as followst '
Protection of life and property and maintenance of law and

order within the Territory is primarily responsibility of the
Territory. Intervention with Federal troops will take place only
after the Territory has utilized all of its forces and is unable
to control the situation or when it is apparent that the situation
is beyond the capabilities of the Territory.
Intervention with Federal troops may take place with or with-

btit Presidential action or proclamation, depending upon the purpose
of the intervention.
When the purpose is nramy-S*.—r ■■ .. ■ U

1 To aid the Territory or < I
2 To.enforce the laws of the United States within Alaska or
5 To protect the civil rights of citizens within Alaska.
Întervention of Federal troops will take place only after the

Secretary of Defense has so ordered and the President has published
^proclamation demanding that the insurgents disperse and retire
peaceably to their respective abodes within a specified time. (See
Section ’5300 Revised Statute).
When the purpose is
1 To protect the property of the United States or

2 To protect vital national defense materials, premises
and utilities.
Unless a labor ^dispute is involved, no Presidential prolcamation

or action is necessary >otther than an executive order in the case
.ofGovernment seizure o^/.private property. When a "labor dispute
is invo.lyed; 'iristructions'must be obtained, from the Secretary of
Defense unless' danger or destruction is 'imminent.’ j <

rBCORP®-®
8J.1 NOV 17 ISM
5 7 JAN 3 1949
Except in rare cases requiring martial law, the character
of action to be taken by Federal troops when ordered to quell civil
disturbances will be that of the exercise of police powers. Military
commanders must answer writs of a Federal Court, but, Federal troops
will not be subordinate to State, Territory or Federal civil
authorities, because in such situations they operate under orders
of the President.
•Civilians apprehended and charged with offenses against
the law of the land or against rules and regulations issued by
the military, commanders, 3vill be_detainedJ only^vintid. .they can^be- —-—
safely turned over to. Territory or Federal civil authorities,'
except where otherwise specifically directed by the President or
by the Secretary of Defense.
A combat force of sufficient strength could be used to

insure the apprehension of the leaders of the unlawful elements
and to disperse their organized supporters.
It may be necessary to use Federal troops to safeguard

public utilities, transportation systems, etc., but ordinarily
deputized civil authorities will provide the necessary protection.
All of the troops present, Army, Navy and Air are available
for the execution of this plan. Ordinary military police units
will be used, to quell 'minor domestic disturbances.
.There are no indications that any radical element in Alaska

is in a position to bring about an overt rebellion with a view to
overthrowing the Government. However, there is an element in Alaska
inimical to the inter’est of the Government which might attempt to
incite disorders and would eventually require the intervention of
Federal troops to restore order. This element falls into two general
classes. The first is nationals who may be loosely labeled as
Communists and the second is agents and sympathizers of foreign
powers, whose principles and ideals- are contrary to a democratic form
of Government.
In the event of an emergency, forces available to combat .such’

groups would be the local police, U‘. S. Marshals, FBI, National ** ’
'Guard when organized*, Civil Air Patrol, Coast Guar.d, 'Army, Nayy,-
andÂir Force units of the Alaskan Command.
, - The FBI is considered a civilian intelligence agency which

would., cooperate closely with the Army, but would not be subordinate.*
- 2 -
Alaska would be broken up into two priority areas.
5he first priority area would be Southeastern Alaska and the
Anchorage-Whittier-Seward area. The second priority area would
be anywhere in the Aleutian Islands or Alaskan mainland.
Colonel IRVINE advised me that should there be any

change in these plans, he will inform me.

Re:. SECURITY STATUS OF HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. b6 Pe:
Dear Mr. Hoover ♦ b7c
Lt., Colonel. ______ Army* Intelligence, Captain[

Navy Intelligence, and Colonel I [Air Force intelligence, have
advised me confidentially that they have jointly agreed And Reported to their
superiors, what they call "an, estimate of the situation.” Translated from the
military jargon, this is their evaluation of the potential dangers, from a
security and military viewpoint, ihc.ed by the mid-Pacific area, which, is to
them the Territoiy of Hawaii.
These men list the primary danger as being one pf internal security,
i.e., the potential sabotage, and subversive effects of the Communist element., ।
sabotage but sabotage through labor and political organizations*
In this r egard, T have brought to your attention . before the almost X

complete dominance by the. Communist element here, of the local Democratic sb
Party of the International Longshoremen’s and Warehousemen’s Union, which
controls, not only all shipping but practically all local industry.
In s econd place these men place the possibility of submarine- attack

by Russia against the Hawaiian Islands and in third place they rate*'the
ORIGINAL COPY FILED IN

possibility of an air attack. I was not advised just’how far they went in
belittling the probability or the effect of a submarine or .air attack on the
Islands but verbally they thoroughly discount such attacks, first, for the
reason that they could not be carried out with. sufficient strength to- have
Any real, or lasting effect. and, Secondly, that an att$dk by either means in
sufficient force tp. have more than a questionable morale value would be much
too -costly to. justify against an, Objective, with as little present military
value., as the Hawaiian Island.
It should be rioted that, according to the above three individuals^

in case of an. emergency in this area, Admiral DeWitt 0. Ramsey,. who is jy
Comrnnder-in-Chief of the entire Pacific area, would automatically be the .
ranking officer but. that, in the local area of the Territory of Hawaii,
Lt., General John E. Hull would be the ranking officer and sould therefore
be responsible for military protection af the Islands as.differentiated from .
the entire Pacific area. “ *

Both from the- above-named intelligence officers and from my per

affairs. Mr. Connelly stated that the President made very definjte statements
to these gentlemen along these lines. Assurances were received.from them that
they would desist from further military criticism and leave the operation of
the war to the military.

Memo to Mr. Ladd

Miss Gandy____ -i-
From E. S. Sanders
Pursuant to our conversation, I am submitting this memorandum

for your information.
General Carroll asked that I brief you on the following information

so that you and the Director will be aware of what is being planned.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff have advised the Mr Force that they will
call upon them sanetime subsequent to June 30th to immediately pick up an atan.
bomb and drop it on Bikini. . This is in no way connected with the tests that
are being planned for next year. It is to be a test to determine the ability
of the Air Force to deliver on short notice an atom banb to any designated point
in the world and is also a test of security measures connected with all phases
of such a delivery.
It is contemplated that a B-36, upon being ordered, will depart from

Fort Worth, Texas,-fly to California and pick up the atom bomb delivered to that
point from storage by another plane, proceed via Hawaii picking up escort planes
enroute and proceed to Bikini where the banb will be dropped. It is to be a full
size and reallbomb.
«-
General Carroll stated that he will see you within a few days and
brief you fully in this connection but wanted you to be aware of these plans.
He is most anxious that at the proper time the Bureau be alerted to pick up
any leaks or references to this project through our regular informants, any
embassy covereage, or othermanner in order that it can be determined if such,
a mission can be fully carried out without harmful leaks.
He pointed out that this project is so highly classified that there

is only one other officer in OSI who knows about it and he knows it only because
he is helping Carrol make the necessary plans. He stated that he is aware that
should a leak occur the Beslans might feel that the bomb is intended for Moscow.
I have advised no one else in the Bureau of these plans and, inasmuch
as I was formerly a stenographer, have typed this memo myself.
The Navy will have a small part in the project insofar as keeping the
sea lanes in the area cleared. The Army is not being brought in at all. CIA will
be briefed at the appropriate time in order that they can observe results, etc,

be used for destroying files and material in the Embassy
Code Room, When the material was shipped by pouch, the
Department of State was not fully aware of its characteristics,
but they now realise that it would have been possible for
this material to have destroyed not only the pouch, but the
plane on which it was being carried.
This matter was mentioned in connection with a
discussion of a need to gain prompt access to enemy estab

documents of intelligence value, but destruction of the
premises as well.
This matter has been mentioned to Mr, parsons of

Reference is made to my memorandum, 12-16-^3# on name

checks from G-2 on Congressmen to attend conference at Pentagon
in January, 195b., on war plans, indices search confined to main
files and G-2 being furnished only results of FBI investigations.
Name check received from G-2 regarding Congressman Alfred D.
Sieminski. Investigation conducted 19^2 regarding telegram
Sieminski sent President alleging sale of oil to Germany by
British and American companies. Sieminski apologized for tele
gram stating allegations had little basis in fact and telegram
sent on impulse. Persons contacted incidental to handling this
matter described Sieminski as loyal; however, it was determined
in 19b-2 that Sieminski was active in American Slav Congress which
was cited by Attorney General in 19^8. Uesults of investigation
transmitted to G-2 in 19h-3« Information received from G-2 in 1951
that Sieminskl's wife,.Marie, wa’s previously married to a Pole;
however, deserted said Pole and her two children to live with
German Gestapo Lieutenant. Alleged that they separated whtn it '■
appeared Germany would lose war. She met Sieminski in Europe and later A
entered US as a GI bride to marry Sieminski. Sieminski has expressed
a strong anti-Communist feeling, and has, on numerous occasions, 1
displayed a friendly attitude toward Bureau. Bureau contacted in
1952 and 1953 by Sieminski and wife in regards to children of Mr.s
Sieminski still living in Poland whom she desired to have come to U. S.
They were referred to State Department. -*-n March, 1953, Sieminski,
while at White House, made remarks that Senator McCarthy may be >
getting information in FBI files from FBI Agents or former Agents.
He apologized.when inf©âed-of sanctitylof TBT*files. Attached
memorandum refers G-2 to information previously furnished them, SI

DETAILS:
Reference is made to my memorandum dated. December 16,
19^3, concerning- name check requests submitted, by G-2 on 129 '
United States Senators and Representative. These members of
Congress are to attend a conference at the Pentagon in January,
195b-, where they will be griefed on future United States war
plans. As previously indicated, the indices search Wd.s confined
to main files only, and G-2 is being furnished information only
in instances where the FBI has conducted an investigation.
FBI files reflect that in June, 19^2, the State Department
requested an investigation as a result of a telegram Alfred D.
Sieminski had sent to President Roose-velt. This telegram charged
that the British Persian Oil Company was selling oil to Germany
and that the Adam Opel Foreign Branch of General Motors in Germany
had declared 13 million dollars profit to American investors for
the quarter ending in January, 191|2. Sieminski, when interviewed,
explained that an unknown individual, whom he had met in a res
taurant in New York, had furnished him the information on which
he based his telegram to the President; that when he sent the
telegram he was emotionally upsent as a result of the attack on
Pearl Harbor and also because he had a brother in the Pacific
area. He subsequently wrote a letter to the Director explainihg
his action in sending the telegram, and apologizing for his
impulsive oehavior which caused the investigation.
No one interviewed during the course of the investigation

indicated that Sieminski was anything bur a patriotic citizen;
however, it was revealed that in 19U2 he was connected with the
American Slav Congress as Executive Secretary to the President.
xt is to be noted that an investigation by the F3I in 19^-3
failed to reveal that leadership of the American Slav Congress was
actually under control of the Communist Party at that time'. The
American Slav Congress was cited oy the Attorney General as
subversive on June 1. 19^8•
Results of the afore-mentioned investigation were furnished

to G-2 in September, 19^3, inasmuch as Sieminski was attending
Officer Candidate School, Fort Benning, Georgia.
In January, 195>1, the Bureau received information from

G-2 concerning ‘-’ieminski, which presumably originated with James
F. Murray, Jr., an attorney who was defeated by Sieminski in the
Congressional election of 19^0. According to the information,

Sieminski » s wi f e. Uari e Cr.arowski, mis born in
to well-to-d parents of the
nobility class. She married. Stonislous Mychielski of Poxnan,
Poland, and two children were born as a result of this union..
In 191|.l, when the Germans invaded Warsaw, she allegedly deserted
her family and became mistress of a German Gestapo Lieutenant.
She had a child, Christine, as a result of this affair. It was
further alleged that when it became evident that Germany would
lose the war, * the Gestapo Lieutenant helped Marie destroy records
of her past and then disappeared while she obtained employment
with UNRRA in Vienna, Austria. Sieminski, who met her vh ile he
was serving as an officer on the staff of General Mark Clark, filed
the necessary papers to oring Marie to the United States as a GI
bride; however, when she arrived he was indecisive about marrying
her and stayed with her for approximately two weeks at the
Sulgmve Hotel in Hew York City. He subsequently married her.
In March, 1952, and in July, 1953, the FBI was contacted

by Representative Sieminski and his wife, for advice andinformation
regarding a son and daughter of Mrs. Sieminski, by a former ''arriage,
who were living in Poland. Efforts had been made to effect their
excape from Poland to the United States without success, and it was
the opinion of Mrs. Sieminski that possibly the Polish Ambassador
to the United States could be of some help. Congressman Sieminski
stated in July, 1953, that he was considering resigning his position
as a United States Congressman, and as a private citizen go to
Sweden and use Sweden as a base in an attempt to personally enter
Poland and effect the release of thbtwo children. The Congressman
and his wife were informed that the facts as furnished by him and
his wife would be made a matter of record, but that the matter was
within the jurisdiction of the Department of State.
In March, 1953, Congressman Sieminski attended a luncheon

at the White House at which time a discuss? on arose concerning FBI
"raw” files. Sieminski advanced the opinion to General Persons,
Duputy Assistant to the President, and other Congressmen that
Senator McCarthy may be getting information contained in FBI files
from FBI Agents or former FBI Agents. Sieminski was immediately
contacted by a representative of the Bureau and advised of the
sanctity of FBI files and how highly this responsibility is held

SUBJECT: AJR DEPEnsE EARNING SYSTEM —

Glavln
Attached is the standard operating procedure of

theHeadquarters, USAF Command Post, regarding the dissemination
of information concerning air defense warnings. As you know, *>«•------
this matter was recently considered by the Bureau, and it was —
determined that any air defense warnings should be transmitted Zv
by the USAF Command Post to the Office of Assistant Director —:------
Belmont and the Command Post was so advised. The attached
standard operating procedure, in accordance with these instructions,
provides that both in the case of air defense warnings and in
the case of notification concerning an overt hostile act by a
foreign power, during official duty hours, the Command Post
will contact Mr. Belmont or Mr. Cleveland, and during other than
normal duty hours, it will contact the Agent on duty in Mr. Belmont*s
Office,
There is also attached a pamphlet captioned, ”USAF

161^-7(A) Authenticator.” The purpose of this is so that the
Bureau can immediately verify that they are actually talking
with the USAF Command Post and so that the Command Post can also
immediately verify they are talking with the FBI* It was
pointed out by philcox of Liaison to Officers at the Command
Post that this did not appear to be necessary inasmuch as the
Bureau has a direct tie line with the Command Post and there
could be no doubt as to the authenticity of the call, They
explained, however, that, in the event of an actual attack, it
is possible that the direct line may be destroyed and it would
then be necessary to contact the Bureau through either the code
line or the regular outside dialing system. They pointed out
that it would be of value to the Bureau as well as the Command
Post to erase any doubt as to the authenticity of a call con
cerning an air defense warning. They pointed out that, in the
event of an emergency, it would be impossible for the Command
Post to accept return calls verifying the original call. They
pointed out they would be extremely busy and, if they accepted
return calls from every agency to verify the original call,
their switchboard would be swamped, and their system would
suffer a complete breakdown. This authenticator system is fully
explained in the attached pamphlet. It merely involves the
use of a code word by the Command Post and a code word in reply

Memorandum for Mr, Ladd, 12/1'8'53
DETAILS:
On December 15, 1953, Brigadier General ’#• M, Burgess,
Deputy for Intelligence; Air Defense Command; Colorado Springs;
Colonel _____ Air Intelligence Headquarters; and b6 Per
Colonel Commanding Officer of the 4602nd Air b7c
Intelligence Service Squadron (AISS); Colorado Springs;
appeared at the Bureau for a discussion with Inspector V, r.
| Keay and Liaison Supervisor N, W, Philcox regarding the
4602nd AISS, These officers were accompanied by Colonel---------
"I I of Air Intelligence Headquarters and Major
of the 4602nd AISS,
General Burgess specifically pointed out at the
beginning of this discussion that the Air Force had set up
the 4602nd AISS on March 1, 1952; for the specific purpose
of collecting positive intelligence from foreign airmen and
through the examination of foreign aircraft landing in the
United States, He pointed out that -this must be done
immediately upon receiving word that x foreign airman or
foreign aircraft has landed inasmuch is the intelligence
information gathered must be used im”ediately in order to
■combat the second wave of aircraft possibly en route to attack
the U,S, He pointed out; therefore; that their mission is
extremely important in gathering positive intelligence for
tactical purposes and that; if the information is not obtained
promptly and handled promptly, it wil 1 br of no use. The
4602nd AISS presently has 194 men whith includes 40 officers.
They are equipped, of course, with at -planes, skis, horses
and other equipment enabling them to ’'each any spot where
a foreign airman or aircraft may be - cated. They have
technical experts and foreign langua* - experts available
to interview the foreign airmen and * -amine the aircraft.
You will recall that we to* • over the handling
of contacts with law enforcement agen ies for this group
in order to avoid confusion in the 1. enforcement *ield.
You will also recall that we strenuously objected t Major
^General J. .4, Samford, Director of At Intelligence, regarding
\the staging of training exercises by 'his group involving
•outside law enforcement agencies.
General Burge si spr'ifical pointed ou“- that h*
thoroughly agrees with the Bureaufs ’ ews on thes- points.
- 2
Mem<"antum for Vr. I vid) 12/18/53
He feels that the Bureau should certainly handle the contacts

with law enforcement officers in view of the long standing
direct liaison which the Bureau has establishea with the
law enforcement officers. He stated that the AlSS und ubteily
'lad made a serious error in that they had failed to coordinate
this matter with the Bureau when the organisation was
originated. He also pointed out that the -tlSS had made a
serious error in staging the training exercise near Urbana)
Illinois.) on September 22) 1953, He stated that he completely
agrees with the Director fs view and that the AlSS has strict
orders to hold no more of these training exercises involving
outside law enforcement agencies. Any further exercises of
this type will be in areas which they can control and will
involve their own personnel.
You will recall that we previously instructed the
field t contact civil defense officials in this project
through their previously established liaison channels. This
would mean that we would contact only a few officials on a
high level) such as State Directors) etc, General Burgess
pointed out) however) that it was their conception that all
civil defense people should be contacted down to the lowest
, level. This would place an intolerable burden upon +h,' Bureau
■ and would necessitate several thousand contacts in addition
1 to those being handled by the Bu"eau in the law enforcement
field, General Burgess advised that they are willing to handle
the civil defense contacts. He stated that occasionally they
are requested to appear before a civil defense group to explain
their wartime mission. It is pointe i out that the Su"cau
originally too> over this proj’ec4- in order to avoid confusion
in the law enforcement field) and it is not belie vec. thnt
ttheir contacts in civil defense cir^s will have an effect
[on the lew enforcement field providing their activities are
'.completely coordinated with curs on a local level, General
’Burgess advised that the AlSS is -ikinc numerous cental- in
addition to those teing handled by the Bureau, Their crutaczs
include Civil Air âtrolj Ground ^bs^rver Corps) Fouv-r
In see ctors) etc.
The question <.f aiscussing this natter at. YB1
law enforcement conferences was raised by th--' Bureau’s
VeTnoranduin. for Hr. Ladd, 12/18/53
representatives. General Burgess advised that in so far

as the Air Force is concerned, this information is not
' classified, and that they have no objection to the Bureau
discussing the matter at FBI law enforcement conferences.
'He stated, in fact, that if the Bureau so desires, they would
'be glad to make a representative available for an FBI law
enforcement conference upon request.
Inspector Keay made the Bureau*s position clear
by stating specifically that the Bureau did not wish to
interfere with the wartime mission of the AUS. It was
pointed out that we did, however, wish tc avo'.a confusion
in the law enforcement field and to avoid any mi sunder standing
on the part police officials in s’ far as the Bureau*s
long standing liaison with the polico in internal security
matters is concerned. It was pointe’- ou4 that ‘'lose
coordination between the AISS and tbJ Bureau on th~ field
'level is necessary, as well as at H idquarters level.

(d) Non-Chinese on The Security Index Who
__________ Are Sympathetic to Communist China
The Director stated that this list is now composed
of thirteen individuals and in the event of an emergency we
would immediately furnish the names to the Department, As
these thirteen are all United States citizens, in an emergency
we would intensify our coverage of them but would not, of
course, make arrests, Mr, Rankin raised the question as to •
the danger of Russian officials who would, of course, be
sympathetic to the Chinese in the event of a Formosan
emergency. The Director pointed out that the only action
I we could take there would be in intensifying our coverage
I of them which we would do,
4, Executive Order Freezing Prices, etc,, in Absence

of National Law,
Mr, Rankin stated a proclamation has been
drafted but he does not think it has a sound legal basis.
The Attorney General stated that the Defense Production Act
going before Congress would give legality to the procedure,
He instructed that a copy of the draft be placed in the
Portfolio,
5, Result of INS Talks with Army as to Guarding of
The Borders_______________________________ _
General Howard said that the talks with the
Army had not been fruitful, tnat the Army was opposed to
taking on the protection of the borders. General Partridge
said that INS is going ahead with its plans and has three
possible plans: (1) re enforcement force which would utilize
6,000 personnel on the border patrol; (2) maximum force which
would require 15,000 men; (3) use of troops (in a dire
emergency, INS would recommend this to the President),
The Attorney General asked that copies of these plans
be furnished to him and stated that two copies should be given
to the FBI also, INS will furnish the Department four copies
of which two will come to the FBI, General Partridge said
that INS would have to recruit to get the additional personnel
- 5 -
for either plan I or 2; that the maximum personnel INS
could make available for additional border coverage now
would be 500,
General Partridge said that INS is meeting with CIA

next week with a view to seeing what advance information CIA
can furnish on the possibility of subversives coning through
the Mexican border (We will have Liaison follow with CIA to
get the results of this meeting,),
The Director stressed the importance of proper
coverage on the Mexican border particularly• He suggested
that if adequate coverage was not possible due to man
power shortage, that ICIS present a factual picture
to the National Security Council so that the exact situation
will be realised on a high level,
6. Discussion of Department of JusticeRelocation Plan
Walter Yeagley went over the relocation plans
of the Department, much of which has? not been resolved.
The Attorney General stated that Deputy Attorney General
Rogers should go to Quantico when evacuation occurs,
(Rogers is being added to our list of Departmental personnel
to be at Quantico,)
Yeagley said that the Department is figuring
on additional land telephone lines to Quantico, He said
that INS will have portable radio equipment at the Winchester
site by this coming June,
Yeagley said that during office hours an alert
would be sounded by the Captain of the Guard in the Justice
Building, In the event of an imminent alert there will be
a series of ten second buzzers. For a yellow alert there will
be a series of two ten second buzzers followed by a pause.
On duty hours the alert, according to Yeagley, will come
through Conelrad,

JUSTICE DEPARTMENT PLANS IN -Zz EVENT li 1 OEM 05 AN
OPEN HOSTILITIES Ho!\
ija^v
This mem o rand urn is for record purposes in connection

with the conference held in the Attorney deneral's office
starting at 3:00 pm, February 7, 1955, relative to the
Justice Department's plans in the event of Formosan open
hostilities. In addition to the At$.ojne.y GenerjlJ- and the
Digrector , the following were present:
From the Department - Deputy Attorney General Rogers
Legal Counsel Rankin, Walter Yeagley, William
Foley and Frederick Ford, office of Legal
Counsel;
From Immigration & Naturalisation Service - General Swing
and General Howard;
From FBI - nelmont.
The Attorney General followed the agenda set forth
in his memorandum to Rogers dated February 3, 1955:
A, Supervision of the Activities of Alien Chinese
in this Country, Particularly Alien Chinese
Scientists and Students__________ ___________
General Swing stated there were about 15,000 non
immigrant Chinese in this country, of which approximately b6 }
5,000 are students• He said there were about 30,000 other b7c
Chinese who are permanent residents, or a total of about k2
45,000 Chinese aliens in the United States. | ]
of Immigration and Naturalisation Service, advised us on
February 4, 1955, that there ware about 49,000 Chinese aliens^
i'.e are checking as to the difference in these figures.)
The Director painted out that of the 131 Chinese
‘students Amd scientists who have been temporarily res Gained
frati leaving this country, 5 are (tn our Security Inlew, and
thereforeit would be very desirable that I&NS furnish uc
AiwVSlc. •
(?)'
CO - ,’/r» Boardman
with a Hot of the 5,JiO studs,'its tn o^der ihat they could
be checked out as to daigerousness, General Swing stated
that the cards on these 5,000 students are prized in with the
15,000 cards on nonimmigrant Chinese at Central headquarters
but that he could pick the cards out in about 14 hours in
the event of an emergency. The Director pointed out that
we should not wait until a "shooting war" has hit us, but that
this information should be available now, .re neral Swing
said he would start a project to get the names to us. The I
Director pointed out this should not be delayed in order that I
we would have a chance to do our checking in advance of any J
emergency.
The Director further pointed out that under the
revised Portfolio the arrest of dangerous aliens and a number
of other functi ons performed during World l/'ar II by the United
States Attorneys and the FBI have been placed under tne juris
diction of I&NS, The Attorney General questioned the advisabi
lity of this and after discussion made the ruling that the
[apprehension of any dangerous individuals under an emergency
[program should be the function of the FBI and the Portfolio
[is to so state.
B, Chinese on Security Index

Phe Director stated that there are : 7 persons of
Chinese national extraction in this country on u - Security
Index, 37 of whom are aliens and 64 United Stctus citizens,
The Director pointed out that as to the aliens, t-iere was no
problem, inasmuch as in an emergency they could be picked up
on deportation warrants. As to the citizens, he pointed out
that they could not be arrested unless the writ of habeas
corpus was suspended but that the FBI could intensify its coverage
of these 64 in the event of an emergency which was short of
implementing the entire Security Index program.
After discussion, the Attorney General agreed that in
the event of a Formosan emergency, the 37 aliens would be picked
up by the FBI on deportation warrants; that the FBI would see
thatthe warrants were prepared for the Attorney General's #
i signature and that we would intensify the coverage on the
citizens, The Director pointed out we hod located all of the
aliens mentioned above within the last 4S hours.
■"■P’e are checking with the Department as to the form of these
warrants,
'* ’ " € Z t >'' fi 1 »->'» i 11: ’ I < ’
The Director stated that og Chinese evipxtyjd

ot the UN, our investi gat ions have reflected 11 co he dangerous
and that the Department of State advised us on February 1,
1955, that the Chinese employed by the UN Secretariat should
be considered as natives of a friendly power and each case
would be considered on its merits* Therefore, as these
individuals cannot be arrested, if an emergency occurs, ire will
intensify our coverage of them and immediately take their cases
\up with Assistant Attorney General Tompkins, who can discuss
t/ie/n with the Department of State,
The Attorney General agreed with the above procedure,
D, lion-Chinese on the Security Index Who Are
Sumvathetic to Communist China
The Director stated that there are 34 individuals on
our Security Index who are not Chinese but who are strongly
sympathetic to Communist China, The Director pointed out that
logically these would be treated in the same manner as the
American citizens of Chinese extraction and, therefore, the
FBI would increase and intensify its coverage on them in the (
event of an emergency,
The Attorney General agreed.
E, Status of Portfolio
Mr, Ford explained that the Legal Counsel's office is
working on the Portfolio and is re-working the revised Portf oli o

proposed program to the. ICIS as this Committee studied this
problem in 1951 and made a number of recommendations which,
however, were not carried out because of budgetary problems,
Yeagley further said that the proposed I&NS plan does hot

I&NS .program and suggest any. weaknesses in connection therewith^
General Howard said that if an emergency arose on
short notice, 1112 I&NS officers- now engaged on other I&NS work
would be flown to the bo.rders, The Attorney General stated
he wanted I&NS to certify to him that I&NS would be able to do
this and that I&NS should, contact the Department of Defense
to be sure that the necessary priorities would- be granted.
The. Attorney General asked if CIA has given.
information to I&NS which would be helpful to the border

has,; that I&NS needs further intelligence information from
CIA and that .CIA has a List of the items that I&NS needs in
the way of information.
The Attorney General furnished to .General Howard
our memorandum dated April, 8, 1955, in which we pointed out

On 6/23/$ the writer was. informed by Er* iUEST IIAIE, Super
vising Consul General in Spain, that he had boon appointed by the Ambassador
to collaborate with a representative of the military missions in tide coun
try' in developing plans for the safe haven and evacuation of American citizens
coning to this countxy in case of way.,
Er* IIAIE stated that such Safe haven and evacuation areas were
being established in Spuiri, Portugal, England and North Africa. Hie explained
that safe haven neurit that evacuees .arriving in these countries would bo
subject to an evacuation priority lower then that fox1 evacuees arriving in
other countries of Europe. The present plans in Spain Ara being made up
on the basis of nafd haven and evacuation of 1^0,000 Americans from Spain
and the transit of another 70,000 tlirough Spain to Poitugal. The lower
priority wuld mean that persons in these safe haven areas would probably
remain in these areas for a period up to days after their arrival here.
lir. HAIE explained that there would be a staging area established "
in. Bordeaux, France, for those persons who bould reach that point, and they
would then be brought by trucks into Spain. Other persons, it is expected,
would be arriving by any means available at points along the land and sea
frontier? of* this country. Ehen these persons make contact with the nearest/'
AmcricanConsul, they would be directed to safe haven areas to be established
at various points in this country, and evacuation to the. United States ’'owid
be by boat or airplane from numerous Seaports and airports. The plan isx
that when these person? contact the nearest Consul and uro dispatched by* him ,
to A safe haven area, identifying information concerning each individual would
be sent to tho. headquarters of the project in Ladrid. Wen transportation is
availaulo, the Americans would be sent from the safe haven area to a port of
embarkation.
The Consul General stated that he recognized the possibility that
among some of these .evacuees may be persons who could be a Security risk' once
they reached the United States, and some night’ be carrying false documentation,

The distant early warning radar sites may be oper

MEMORANDUM FOR MR. TOLSON

.MR, BOARDMAN
MR. DELMONT
MR. NICHOLS
From a letter which 1 have received from SAC Auerbach

at Seattle, I quote the fopowing covering a conversation which he had
with Senator Henry M^fShckson, of the State of Washington, who
has just finished a trip to Alaska as one of the ranking members of
the Joint Committee'on Atomic Energy and who is particularly
interested* in tht^DEW LINE, which is the distant enemy warning
system where they arc putting in remote radarlnctallations as a.
perimeter defense:
"Jackson states that his handling By the Air Force bn his

trip, he feels, is a ’shame and a scandal’, and he believes that the
situation probably should be aired. In a nutshell, he said there
was nobody in the Air Force who could give him an over-all briefing
oh the DEW LINE. He talked with Air Force personnel all over the
place; and even took one of their patrol scouting trips where you (^z
are 18 hours, in the air and up in the Antarctic regions on patrol, f
and the high brass apparently were unable to give him an over-all
picture. He says that he finally got the best story from a civilian
engineer employed there representing Western Electric, which is
providing the materials and know-how for the installation. The
A conclusion Jackson comes to is that the Air Force has completely .
capitulated tp*Western Electric any control over what’s going on up
there as to the. building of the DEW LINE. This puts Western Electric
in the position of wearing two hats, i.e. ordering materials and giving
instructions and directions on the situation on one hand and on the
other hand receiving and filling the orders, i.e. selling the materials
to the Government. He feels that this puts Western Electric in a
Tolson . disputable position and places’.the Air Force in a disgraceful situation.

On August 11, 1958, Mr. Bryan F. LaPlante, Congres Tele. RcXurf __
Holl
sional liaison man for the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC),
advised in extreme confidence that he had learned that State, m j. - .
the Department of Defense (DOD) and the National Security Coupcil (NSC)
have been collaborating on a proposed announcement of cessation of U. S.
nuclear tests. He said that he had had an opportunity to see the draft
of the announcement which calls for stopping tests for a three-year
period and if safeguards and inspection procedures can be worked out,
it will extend beyond the three-year period. LaPlante said that it is
indicated that the U. S. tests will be stopped on the assumption that
sufficient safeguards can be set up later. He added that as he recalls,
there was a provision in the draft that if such safeguards and inspec
tion procedures cannot be worked out, the U. S. will resume testin
MH2 SZ'WS
LaPlante said that AEG has had no part in drafting this

proposed announcement and knew nothing about it until Friday, August 8_
1958. He said that since that time, Brigadier General Starbird,
Director of the &EC Division of Military Application, has been involved
in the discussions with State, DOD and NSC. According to LaPlante,
the proposed announcement is still being worked over and he understands
that, the timing of the announcement is now the most important thing.
He ventured the opinion that the' U. S. might time this announcement
for sometime during the current special UN General Assembly meeting or
during the Geneva Conference on Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy which
is to be held from September 1 to 14, 1958. LaPlante said that his
personal 'feeling is that it would be unwise for the United States to
cease its testing before adequate safeguards and inspection procedure
are worked out; however, he feels that the announcement which is.
apparently^ forthcoming, is indicative of the desire of some of the
people at State and of Dr. Killian, Special Assistant to the Preside
to make some sort of an announcement indicating that the United States
will stop its testing. LaPlante emphasized that this proposed announce
ment is most closely held and, in fact, the copy of the draft which he
saw was later recalled along with all the others.

by Mr. Bryan

that an announcement was imminent that the United States would
cease its nuclear tests. *
On August 21, 1958, Mr. LaPlante referred to the curren
newspaper speculation about such an announcement and said that the
announcement would undoubtedly be made within the next several days.
He said that Chairman McCone of AEC had gone to the White House on
August 20, 1958, and vigorously, but vainly, opposed stopping our
testing. According to LaPlante, Dr. Killian, Special Assistant* to
the President, and Secretary of State Dulles are the main proponents
of the idea of the U. S. stopping its testing. In addition,, LaPlante
said that the argument presented to McCone was that the United States
has just ceased its own series of tests anyway and that another series
of test's could not possibly take place for about a year-which would
give the U. S. plenty of time to see if the test ban would work out
satisfactorily.
Also, on August 21, 1958, Captain John H-grMb rs effJr., U. S.
Navy, Special Assistant to McCone, expressed bitter disappointment at
the way things were going on the question of the test ban and indicated
that on behaJLf of AEC he had fought hard against the idea because he
felt it was unrealistic and was being done only, for political purposes.
It should be noted that LaPlante had previously advised on August 11,
1958, that AEC had no part in the drafting of the proposed announcement
of the test ban and knew nothing about it until August 8, 1958. It
should also be noted that the comments of LaPlante and Captain Morse
were made in strict confidence.

On January 193 19593. the following information was Tele. Boom,—
Holloman
furnished in confidence by Mr. Richard X. Dbnovari3 Congressional ,Gandy _ j
liaison man for Atomic Energy Commission (AEC)3 who derived same
from, attendance at executive sessions of the Joint Committee on Atomic
Energy during the previous week: • *
In the light of recent revision downward in the estimate of i
thejfcechnicgl capabilities of this country to detect\fauclear explosions'^^
the ■ Consensus of~the Joint Committee appeare ^îrîT^SuNJ^be^Vg '
the advantage of this country to withdraw from the current Geneva talks
with the Soviets on test cessation3 even though this would give the **
Soviet,§ propaganda..materials to make us look bad in the' eyes of the Bj
rest, of the world. Further3 the attitude of the Joint Committee is that gj
the U. S. should resume testing after honoring its one-year suspension
which- began October 303 1958. It would take about a year and a half
ahyway3 starting right noji3 to get ready for a new series of tests
which would' .include es under water3 under ground and.„in outer space. oO
Dr. Edward lTeller3 who3 with former AEC Chairman Lewis g

Strauss3 wgs one of the fo^bmost opponents of stopping tests in the firsts
place, told the Joint Committee last week that he thinks the Soviet -
i^Lunik. " which was shot past the moon and is supposed to be orbiting
the sun3 has an H-Bomb in it to be set off in outer space as a Soviet g
test. Donovan explained thcpt AEC scientists now consider it techni
cally feasible to do sucb^ftuclear' testing in- outer, space. He added
that none' of several scient'l'sts~prcscr~t'~^H^~TefTar.expTessed the
above opinion disputed the possibility. D^. Han^fBetl^^' described ‘by /C.
Donovan as originally somewhat aligned with Dr. LinyltfPauling in advo^
eating cessation of tests because of their possible adverse physical Z-
effect on mankind^ was present when'Teller spoke. Bethe^ disputed
Teller's Cpin-i'on only- to the extent of saying’he'did not believe the >
Soviets have the electronic equipment capable of performing^ such a >
test, .with their "Lunik." Donovan’.further* explained that as he under-1-"
stands it,, Teller thinks-the Soviets will be able fo separate the
H-Bomb from the remainder of "Lunik3" and cause the bomb to proceed
in orbit ahead of "Lunik." Then the bomb will be set off and tele
metering equipment in "Lunik" will proceed to pick up various forms of
data- such as amount of rddigtioh,3 blast effect3 etc.'3 from the bomb^

directly under the Naval Aide, Captain Tazewell T* Shepard* Bartlett
has known Palmer for several years* Palmer recently served as the
Navy^s Project Engineer at Quantico and was extremely helpful to the
Bureau in that capacity*
|| Palmer said he wanted to mention something to Bartlett in
l|ear£re?ne confidence and Bartlett told him histinformation would be handled
\\just that way* Palmer said that he is extremely worried about informa
tion appearing in the press and on radio within the past few weeks which
| deals directly with the relocation plans of the President in the event
I of war* He said that the press carried the story last weekend while
the President was aboard the cruiser "Northamptonn that this ship was

Palmer said that following the expose regarding the aircraft,
