PROU: Betty MacDonald
SUBJECT: Border Publications
MO-Delhi is most anzioua to get a eamplete list of �
the border newspapers and magazines published in Vitae China. _
Captain Caldwell informs me that there are 76 newspapers now
being circulated, both in occupied and unoccupied China and �
that OWI's new psychological warfare man, Neal Brawn Ills
a list of these. Could you contact him and obtain die in-
formation? .
I am attaching a photograph which we thought could. be
used by some of the newspapers. I would like your comments .
on the picture and its possibilities. If 7011 think it could
be used, can you ascertain from Mr. Brown what size mats
should be made, haw many, what screen, and where they would
be sent. Let me know soonest and I will have mats reproduced
in Delhi and sent out to you.
Captain Caldwell's plan is progressing rapidly and we
hope that we will be servicing the areas which he has been
working on for some time. Any suggestions that you have for
production will be greatly appreciated.

1. Referring to your letter of 27 September 1944 I
had a long oonversation with Major Wiohtrioh on the subject
of the plan which Captain Caldwell is now preparing. Al-
though, through some misunderstanding I was not present at
the oonference between Colonel Hall, Major Wiobtrioh and
Capt. Caldwell, Colonel Hall has since discussed the entire
situation with me and I feel that I as as fully informed in
respect to the plc as is possible pending receipt of the
detailed plan itself. Major Wichtrich feels that there are
great possibilitiss in the scheme and I thoroughly agree
with him. You have probably received my letter of 23 Sept.
on this same subject and, if you agree, I oan go to Chengtu
to make further investigations on the spot:.
2. There is no doubt that, as you state, every detail
of the plan suet be thoroughly gone into before it is put
into effect particularly, as Major Wichtrioh pointed out,
in regard to avoiding any conflict with agentasnow operat-
ing in the areas under disaussinn.
3. I note that Mrs. McDonald has been designated as
temporary MO Chief CBI. I consider that Mrs. McDonald is
remarkably competent and. as we are on very friendly per-
sonal terms, I assure you that it will be a pleasure to
cooperate with her.
4. A lengthy report has been reolived from he lead-
er of the Mack Group, organised by Lt. Fenn, and we will
arrange for him to report in person at Kunming just as
soon as we can contact him. Nothing has,osen heard from
the Mabel 'Group. The rapidly changing tactical situation
has temporarily confused our plans for the Mack Group but
we will be able to make effective use dfthis personnel
after consultation with this leader.

5. Arrangements are now being made for two of our
enlisted men together with two Chine's, to make a trip

Via: Dr. tilliam L. Langer
Subject: Recruitment of CBI Enlisted Len in the Field
1-Cui
In view of Lt Damao' memo of 9 October we find, it necessary
to set forth the steps taken by this Branch upon the receipt of cables
9777 and 9787 from Colonel Coughlin dated 28 September 1944.
Both of these cables were received in the R&A Outpost Unit
on 29 September 1944. Either on that day or the day following, the
contents of both these cables were discussed over the phone with
Captain Bumph of the Far East Theater Office. In answer to his inquiry
as to the action contemplated by this Branch I explained that it has
been the long standing policy of R&A not to request slots for the
assignment of personnel in the theaters until we in taahington were
advised of the qualifications and intended assignments of the candidates
proposed by R&A Outpost Chiefs. It was further explained to Captain
Bumph that at that time this Branch had pending in P.P.B. a number of
requests for procurement of officers and enlisted men for CBI and that
there were also pen ding before gr. Chesten requests for additional
slots to cover the recruitment of professionelly qualified military
and naval personnel for CBI. I advised Captain Bumph that I felt it
inadvisable for this Branch to take any action until the qualifications of
Colonel Coughlin's candidates were considered along with the qualifi-
cation, of the personnel covered in the requests for procurement and
in the requests for additional slots. Captain Bumph indicated his
agreement with this position.
Accordingly in cable number 13997 dated 30 September Colonel
Coughlin and Vajor Spencer were asked to provide the names, whin-
cations, and proposed duties of the personnel referred to in the two
incoming cables mentioned above. A reply to this cable was received
in this office late in the afternoon of Thursday, 5 October, in incoming
cable 9977. Action copies of this cable were sent to Dr. Langer,
Dr. Fahe of the far East Division and hr. Dykes of the hap Division.
Each of these persons were tked to advise we it they' were in favor of
requesting slots in accordance with Colonel Coughlin's request. Cable
9977 described two of the enlisted men as being qualified only as
clerks and typists and the third enlisted man as being a capable cartographer

and cartoonist who would be suited for nap work at Detachment 101. On
either Thursday or Friday of last week Captain Bumph queried me as to
the advisability of BALA-requesting slots for GI clerk-typists. Sometime
on'? Octoberlir. Dykes expressed doubts as to the feasibility of --
assigning the .cartographer to 101 believing that several of the enlisted
men whose procurement was then pending would be better qualified.
I advised Mr. Dykes that in my opinion the assignment of personnel in .
the theater mast be left almost entirely to Major Spencer in consultation
with Colonel Coughlin.
On ronday, 10 Octobers the writer received notification from
Dr. Langer, Dr. Fels and Kr. Dykes to the effect that they approved the
requesting of the additional slots to cover the three enlisted men
proposed by Colonel Coughlin. On that same day I advised Captain Bumph
by phone of this decision, explaining that &memorandum to this effect
was in preparation. This was the status of the matter when It. Delmar'
memo of 9 October mac received in my office.
This Breach concurs with Lt. Dentist request for authority to
advise Colonel Coughlin that his request for additional slots be
granted.

1. in answer to your letter of October 6 regard-
inc a Japanese writer, it is understood that Washington is
send ii a group of Japanese from Collingwood in the near.
future. No definite word, however, has been received from
Colonel Little in regard to this. We wired late last month
that transportation 'was available on three feet ships leaving
for India during October.
2, In Delhi, the DO branch, through Colonel
Coughlin, is attempting to procure certain Nisei who are on
detached service. It may be that these men will be available
for only a rhort period of time, if at all. However, if they
are obtLined, re shall be able to supply you with a first-
rate translator. These Nisei are not expert writers, however.
3. Colonel Coughlin estimated, in a memorandum to
General Donovan, that China would need about seven Japanese
who could read, write and speak the language. This request
has gone through to Washington,
4. In the matter of Chinese type, / have requested
that Lt. David Caldwell of reproduction look into the matter
of rroeurine t font in Calcutta. Perhaps you could check on
the minim= amount of type required to produce a newspaper in
Chinese, the weight and cost. In this way, if Caldwell is
unable to obtain type in Calcutta, we can have the answer in
China.

I am attaching DT-12. It is a 4-page MO job allegedly'
torn from a magazine called "Lumiere". It is a ridicule of
the GM policy and it is written in English. I will send one
batch now, to be followed next week by another, until you
have had three in all, or approximately 4,000 copies. I had
envisaged sending the material out in dribbles to areas
where English is read and spoken. That would include Sbm/Ighillit
Hongkong and certain areas in French Indo China where the
"Lumiere" is circulated. .It might be well to send material in
as agents go into the territory end have some on hand so you
can keep feeding it. It is timeless and can aliays be used.
On each copy of the "Iumiere" holes should be punched where it
was torn from the original magazine. I will attach one sample
to show you how it should look.
Colonel Hall has been here and has talked at length about
tte 1-.GAS plan, which has been approved by Colonel Coughlin.
Captain Caldwell is implementing it now and recruiting per-
sonnel. We hope that it will be put into service soonest. It

For an MO job we are contemplating, we are anxious to
get a sample menu from the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo or some other
large eating establishment there or in ShPnehai. Captain
c11 tells us that Paul Lineberger might be ltae to obtain
such a menu through his connections with Suzie. I would also
like to have a copy of his interview with this girl who recently
spent some time in Tokyo. She is a Chinese.
Marge and Grace join me in sending regards.

Dear Colonel:
Here I am lx:ck at the old business of typing again. If you had just let
me along with my money bags, I wouldn't have had to pound this typewriter
because I had Davis trained to the point there he did all of that very
nicely -- but be that as it may I felt it tould be best for me to write
this letter to you myself. In the first place there aro. only one or two
people here who know that we have been busy the past few days shipping
footlockers and personal papers to India. I have felt that under the
circumstances it was better to say nothing about it. Of course the truth
of the matter is that I don't kna'a exactly what could be said anyway
as I can only read between the lines and it would be easy to read wrong.
I do hope to hear from you soon at least advising me as to what is takina
place so that I can better do the job here. Seveaal things have come up
that in View of the situation i felt should best be referred to you, rata�
I am trying to decide everything that 1 possibly crl. I can assure you
that at nastakes made will be honest on s in the interest of getting this
place going.
aEFBODUC-ilON VrliCE
Yesterday a letter written by you on 6 October came to my desk. it was
the one in which you asked several questions about space for reiroduction.
Prior to getting this we had more or less settled the question. Curthing�
han had breezed into totn with a sketch of that he needed which was a
bldg 1101 by 20'. I couldn't see this at all, so Hall, Gabriel and ayself
got hia in and vant cvyr the plan with him. ahat we finally wound up
with was a bldg 701 by 20' which he areed to and which I subsiuntly
sugged that we cut down to only 5()1 long. This Of cure would it an
new bldg which you inicate in your l.:-tter is net desir d. ,e rle.nnin,;
rn onehit 1DDI lon7 which huse r*roductIon, :-st of cc=nichs
=nd the cartoz,ra;-h,?rs. After recfalving your letter I have decided to hold
up on this bldg. This would have been in addtion to the v:.reh:..use which
is now being built in the hc:spital I would like to go
ahead and get all of this work done, I do not like to take it on in view
of the attitude reflectA in your letter. I have a feeling that you
may not realiz6 v.hat this placc, is going to be in size and that you
think we are running away with ourselves. It certainly would be highly
desirable for you to come up as soon as possible so that you can se; for
� yourselOnd we can settle the problem. It is difficult and unsatisfactory
to try to do this by lettars.

ehii to operate in a really efficient144,nner and give us a first class
conmo set up. This involves chenging the present arr:.neecnt greatly ehich
everyone seems to agree is lousy. I have ask,d other signal people besides
our on to satisfy myself on this point. Perhaps I am being to anbitious
on the entire deal but it is my feeling that if we are going to do anything
at all now, we had better to a really first class job. We are so dependent
on camMo for a11 of our functioning thnt I should like to see them ball
set up. I have asked Horton and brody to write up a full statement of what
they propose to do and why. Also to Endicate fully why the present arrange-
menteis inadequate as well as to point out the solutions. M.th this we
should have a backgound of information about the commo set up which any
pour doe like myself can understand and which would serve as a basis for
making decisions as to what course of action we All take. I feel this is
necessary since so much of our development in the past has been on the basis
of spot decisions which got us over a particulir hump but did not fit into
a well defined program.
FORMOSANS -
Your anser to my wire about amount of money to be spent on Gleysteens new
agents referred to Koreans whereas I had wired you about Formosans. I as-
sumed that this was sie.ply and error in coding and am going ahead to see
how they react to your suggestions.
KORP:AS
Your no 116 . to this Hs asked for all possible info about ways of attacking
the Korean intelligence problem. I wired Wilkie asking him for particulars
on the Weems plan but received no anseer until yesterday. At the same time
I received a copy of a letter which he had written to you and included in
it was the Weems plan so I an not forwarding the info receited.
TRANSF7Lebf LT-DAITEH
In the letter.I wnote to Col Hall was some info about the impending transfer
of Lt Deuer.-He had asked me to go ahead on it, but use discretion because
of the orgeni.zation from which he would be transferred. This has been done
and the necessary papers for his transfer have been foraerded to Delhi. I
wanted you to know this so that you could look int) tile matter there and
expedite it and also so that youcould advise me that yen went him used for
here. I can get him on DS pending the transfer if you so desire. I thinIfle
is the fellow you once tried to get from General i.eetere in case you have
forgotten him.
Pvt SEALEY
As 1 understand it he is to be used in the LOAGAS plan. You indicted he
could proceed to Sian. Who is he to report to ? We will draw his orders
and make arrangements to get him out. Is Co]. Dickey to help us on this or
is he out of this particular pan?
SICK CALL
We continue to have people in the hospital. e have been running at least
two or three People in the hospital every day for the last month. Gabriel
is now ailment to his legs. I don't know yet how serious it
is but -apeot-rto find cut to-day. Seamen Jung is in with some foot ailment
also. All this keeps us from getting under full steam: but we're still
treing.

should hnve one section of it done by the ,:nd of the month and can then
mo�e in commo heavy equiyment. The entire job should be wmpl(Aed by

VISITORS
Lt Applebalun is here now. He arrived FridAy without any advance warning
or noti. I've spent some time with him. He is now with Lockwood. He
plans to go to Chungking Wed and spend a few days there.
I noticed that Genrral Yiller want thru here on his way to Chungking. I
assure he will be back thru here and am trying to make preparaticns
for him. What is he and what is he interested in.?
FRUT,TION of 04
W;ie ir.s been a slight mixup on the promotion of some commo EP. Sone who
wre put in for Corporal by Horton were given 1-IC before you could possibly
have seen the wire. Also a promotion was authorized for T/5 Lahoney which
Horton feels should be held off for a while. I think his reasons are
good, and am attaching a copy of his memo to me on the subject. Will
you hold the slot for us? I want to say that the promotions for the LM
generally were swell. They are very such appreciated here and have boosted
motile tremendously. It is good to know that we are being looked out for
by you.
SCHULTHFTS.
This fellow is a little more than troublesome. He is hard to get along with
but we aredoing our best. He is very mad at Dec Lynn. All of the boys
who come in from the field now want to see the unit reactivated under
CSS. Col Murphy is a little stuffy but not too bad. 1 had him down for
dInnr and spent az:0�d evening with him. I r to_storLin and .visit
him every other day if for no other reason-than-to pass the time of day.
�
That's about all I can think of now. we have secured several people from
ZFOS on TD to help out and thyy are all pitchin;- in a:Id -v:crkinz
I feel that we are shaping up slowly but surely and Lope y(0.1 1.1.11 he out
.cefore too lone to see us. I'm having a staff Meeting in a little while.
Nov try to have one once week and believe that it docs see good in �
getting these ieople t.-gether and working as a team.
