CBI, APO 885 via Major De Sibour and Col. Coughlin. 1. On 5 November 1944 Major de Sibour, Capt. Becker and Lt. Taylor of AGAS, and Major Faxon jointly discussed the above plan with the following results. 2. Capt. Becker stated that the only plan which Major Wichtrich had mentioned to him was that of sending 2 or 3 OSS men into the Shanghai area under AGAS cover. This strongly resembles the plan to which reference is made in. the last 2 sentences in par. 4 of my letter of 30 October 1944 on this subject. 3. Both Capt. Becker and Lt. Taylor were very positive in stating that Major Wichtrieh had never referred in any way to so comprehensive an operation as that contemplated In our present MO-AGAS plan or to the Memorandum for MO joint operation to which Major Wichtrich agreed in New Deihl. 4. The latest revised "Plan of Operations" dated 20 October 1944; thc Memorandum of the working agreement between OSS and AGAS re MO joint operations, and Lt. Col. Little's wire, dated Oct. 26, to Col. Coughlin for Capt. Caldwell were read by Capt. Becker and Lt. Taylor. They extracted the more important portions of these documents and Capt. Becker is wiring to Major Wichtrich in Washington for instructions. 5. Both AGAS officers clearly indicated that, in view of the positive instructions contained in the AGAS directive, they would be unable to go further than arranging for 2 or 3 OSS men to enter the Shanghai area under AGAS cover until definite instructions are received from Major Wlchtrich. This precludes clearing Pvt. Seely for Sian until Major Wichtrich's instructions are received. Meanwhile we have requested that Pvt. Seely's papers be forwarded to us from Chungking so that we can issue the necessary orders as soon as clearance is obtained from AGAS. 6. A copy of this letter is being sent to Major Stevens for his information. cc. Major Harley C. Stevens. a,,72:104. 4 HAROLD C. FAXON, Major, AU'S., 1st Ind. Chief MO China Area.

Although nothing further can be done toward activating this plan until Capt. Hecker receives instructions from major Wichtrich, the following prooedure will proliebly be followed, assuming that Major Niehtridh's instructions will be as I anticipate a. All NO personnel destined for the 20-A0AS operation will, before going into the field, report to A0AS headquarters in Kunming for approval and final indoo.. trination in AOA5 operational procedure. (Vide paragraphs- 3 and 9 of pro-forma agreement) b. Zquipment and supplies will be furnished here.. ,c.

Becker ,does not feel in a position to proceed with the provisions of the MO-GAS pro-forma agreement until he receives instrtictions from Major Wichtrich, he has approved in principle the statements in par. 5 a. of my letter to Major Stevens. 3. It seems to me that the most practical way of handling the matters covered in par. 5 b. and c. of my letter to Major Stevens, is as outlined. However, if any other arrangements have been made, please let me know as soon as possible. In any event, these sur,castIons would result in concentrating these parts of the operation in Kunming where both MO (Chine) and AGAS headquarters are located, and this would be a Jecided advantage from.an administrative point of view. 4. Will you please let me know what,, if any, steps have been taken in the way of standardizing equipment to be taken into the field by CBS. personnel? If you will advise the approximate number of personnel to be taken care of, we will requisition the necessary equipment and have it on hand in Kunming.

Dear Ray: As I have already cabled you, we expect to retern to Washington in a couple of days; right nor it is eet for the ninth. I wouldn't be at all suriwised if 109 changed hie mind between now and the ninth and decided to ooze out here. It would be better if he would for I think the best solution could be errived'at by his being on the ground. In uny case, we should - have all he anowers in the next two weeks. As I hzare already told you, / thInk.General Wedemver will be a�real friend of OSS. Lecr.use of thie, / think We will have operations in China that were undreamed of two months ago. As you already knee, or at least sucpeot, things are not going kal, well. in SAC. General Mier, in trying to help the situa- -tion, fiAlled it up somewhat, and there Is quite a cloud to be cleared away up there. That is only one of the reasons it nould be helpful if 109 oame out. The conference in Washington Is not Going to straighten that out. However, I will do my best. I amestisfied that Diok is going to be the head man in China, and / think he should be. It is essential that OSS have a man in Mtarge eho the Theater Commnnder has confidence in. This, in my (4,inion, is more importent than any other single point. I had a discussioft nith Ooners1 Sultan a couple of 4ays ago, and indicated i;lau sumo to him. I said that when he established Colonel HigIne as tho sectIon through which 03S must ch:naa all its bue-ness, it was caly all indication of his lack of confidence in me, and that a seting up of a new section etas not the way to solve the problem. A much better solution rould be to esk General Donovan to relieve 'A and to suggest the ()Meer or officers that he would consider suitable for the position Sultan agreed with me more or less. _ ,I told him that I thouEht General Donovan would be mak- _ Declassified 2 p !,!P.TZjq date APPRMZL;F RELEASE Date Copp AVAILABLE pproved for Release: 2023/05/18 C00027679 Approved for Release: 2023/05/18 C00027679 � x � Lag some ohanges in the near future and that he should express his feelings, as I knew General Donovan was most anxious to please the theater commanders. I told him that my own recommendation would be that you be designated as the SSO for the India Burma Theater. Sultan didn't say yea or nay. He has, however, given me a letter marked "personal" to deliver to General Donovan. I don't know what the contents are, but I euspect mid :hope that it is a let- ter asking that you be assigned as the head ran in his Theater. . It could, however, well be different. Colonel Hayne has prepared .a brief on the OSS situation and has tried to make a strong case in favor of the head man for OSS in any theater being a Regular Army officer, who is thoroughly familiar with general staff procedure, preferably a graduate of a Command and General Staff School, one that is older, knows most of the offi- cers he will be working with, and is more likely to inspire con- fidence in the Theater Commander. During the discussion I felt that Hayne was trying to describe himself. I indicated several examples of what I considered successful officers who were younger and were not graduates of the Command and General Staff School, and Hayne didn't like it. I told him that my feeling was that the Strategic Services Officer should first have the confidence - of ths Theater Commander, and second have some knowledge of the organization and capabilities of OSS. I added that I thought you filled these two qualifications better than anyone else out here, but he didn't agree. He felt you were ideal for the job you had but that you were too young to be the SSO. I don't think it is anything to be concerned about because I doubt that General Donovan would ever contrider-designating Hayne as his chief out here. I do feel that it rt.:important that you get to know )en- era]. Sultan as well as possible - as soon as possible. I feel that Hayne is more Or less on the loose looking for a Job, so don't be surprised of anything he does or says. I am going to cover a number Of points briefly in order that you may have a little better understanding of some of the things that are happening. X-2 in India - Ealor McDonough, who is the Head of X-2 for SAC, has been very friendly and would like to be on onr team. He h-ls to watch his position but I feel he is a right guy and an able one. Thurston was down here for a couple of days and he and MoDonuugh got on nicely. I asked that Thurston channel all his stuff from China through McDonough for forwarding to Washington. This wouldleave McDonough_in-n_poeition to know everything that was happening X-2-wise in the Far East. If I was called on to ex- plain about X-2 in China, I would have someone here who could do it. Thurston indicated he did not feel he should have any reopen- "-upgiret. pproved for Release: 2023/05/18 C00027679 Approved for Release: 2023/05/18 C000276797_,,. . - 3 .1L�Mb- (ability for X-2 operations at 101 as he is too far away to be either informed or ansist in control. I agreed, and asked ;:o- Donough to think of X-2 aetivitios in Anson, inoluding 101, as part of his baby. I explained to McDonough that you would have to be completely advised both as to what was happening and what- was planned or you would be embarrassed and not satisfied with the arrangement. McDonough promised to do this. I am sure you will find this a better arrangement. I think he will discuss the whole X-2 cot-up with you, and this applies to Assam and Cal- cutta, and elsewhere if you wish. He has convinced no that he is really trying to do a job and not trying to build an empire. I asked Harry, when ho went through, to talk with McDonough and tell him what the X-2 situation was at 101. As a result, McDon- ough has written you a letter which I enclose. If you will think of him as trying to help and not trying to grab, I am certain you will find ho can help you. Thurston indicated he thought Helfrich was God-awful, and that as far as he was concerned, he should be sent home. He didn't say this with any idea of taking action on it as he realizes you would be the first to express such a feel- ing if you thought things had reached thatatage. Ho was just making it clear that he had no confidence In Helfrich. I think McDonough feels a little bit the same but wants to help work it ._ out if he can. McDonough is not at all fooled by Patterson. He Is not happy with him either. He may be able to get up there this next month. I am sure if you can arrange to discuss the sub- ject with him, you will find that McDonough will be able to help in the situation. Security - A Mr. Harjes has repoeted here to hea& Secur- ity for what was the CBI Theater. I don't know where he will fit into the new scheme of things, but he is agood worker and he wants to do a job. I just don't have time to check everything he does. He may write letters that get under your skin. Don't let them. His intentions are also the best. He burned MoDonough up yester- day by writing a letter to Washington abeut a discussion ho had had which was supposedly man to man and sort of off the record. I hope you will show a little patience with the guy and credit him with sincerity of parpose. They have bad a lot of briefing in Wash- ineton and it may take a little while for them to see things our my, but I am sure they will n the end and will be a reel help. Just don't let him burn you up. As you know, de Sibour has gane to Kunming to be CO of Detachment 202. I don't know how this ie going to work out. It is simply a trial. I think de.Sibour is able and might be able to do a job. However, he has at least one strike, if not two, on him for certain people in the 14th Air Force are very much against him. - pproved for Release: 2023/05/18 C00027679' Nr Approved for Release: 2023/05/18 C00027679 -� 4 He hes a Sat. Davis up there in Sinoial Funds who is a Certified Public A000untant and suppouedly very good. Joe Loot� is very anxious to have the Sergeant down here to work for him. I have been holding off until I was satisfied the Sergeant was not needed in Kunming. A deoision on this may come up before .I get back, or the new set-up is arranged. Mykland is doing very little Special Funds work now and I think it is being mostly handled by a Lt. Davis. I don't think the Sergeant ahould be taken away from the Lieutenant, unless the Lieutenant and de Sibour are satisfied that the work there will ge on. If Leete brings this up to you in my absence, my euggeetion would be that it was up to de abour to say uhethor or not the Sergeant could be spared. I think I have already told you Berm is scheduled to leave hero on the 8th. for Kandywhera he is to become the Deputy Chief, OSS.in SAC. I will believe it when I see it. Harry is talking now of moving it from Wednesday on to Friday, and from Iraq he will probably move it to a week from Friday. I think the feeling here is the soencr he loaves the better. Ed Taylor got back yesterday and today Berno wantedlto know what I thought of his becoming the OSS representative on "F" Division and Tay- lor becoming the chief in Heppner's absence down at SEAC. Tay- lor apparently wants to get off of 'IP" Division and Berno would like very much to get on. I told them I didn't have any feeling in the matter; that it didn't make any difference to me which one of them was on "P" Division--and it doesn't. I know you are much more familiar with the workings of 'PI Division than I am, and probably have a much greater appreolation of the importance of the-kind of man we have there. If you do have any strong de- : - -siree-on this, I suggeet you express them.either by letter or Cable'to either the General or myself. rmight be able to convey - the thing a-little stronger to the General if you had any objec- tions. LEI already advised ycu by cable when I thousht I might be leaving today, I am designating Hunter as Acting Deputy Strat- egic Services Officer in my absence. You, of course, avethe Act- ing Strategic Services Officer for both Theaters. I don't have too much confidence in Dave. I would have much preferred to leave eilky here; but since he was an eye witness to certain happenings In SACO which are now under investigation and on which the General is anxious to have a complete report, I felt it essential that he return at this time. Spencer has a fair idea of what goes on In China, and between Spencer and Hunter they should be able to figure out whatever answers may be necessary here. Paratroppers - Harry Little indicated there was some milli- � pproved for Release: 2023/05/18 C00027679 pproved for Release: 2023/05/18 C00027679 - - uneerntending about the pay end wearing of the badge of the pera- treep:re. I am satisfied that once n men cenpletes the coerce in a recognized parachUte training schoo4 ho in entitled to waar the badge just as aTilot who wins his wince is entitled to wear them foreverafter. His pay statue may Change but the privilege of wearing the badge never. Some of the mcn were teken off of jump pay as a result of a couple of enbles received from Washing- ton. I reel that a liberal intereretetion of the ruling can be made. If there Is any possibility of the man being ueed on an Op- erational jump, than I think he should get the pay; but if, in . your own mind, there is no poseibility of his being ucing on op- erations, then I do think he should be taken off jump pay. No order on the thing is necessary. The commanding officer is re- quired to certify whether or not a man in on a jump status. If he dooe not conaidor him on a jump status, he just doean't certify to it. Lt. Col. Arden Dow is now the.OSS head man in BACO. Dow is a damn good boy. I wish he wasn't in SACO for there are a num- ber of places he could be used. If anything comes up in my ab- sence, I would give his recomeendetions considerable weight. Harry explained to ma that you now have an Adjutant located in Chabua who can write orders and expedite the movement of rerscnnel. This boy must be a real expediter. Major Kearny, who you know came through here a eouple of racks ago, is probably as good as anyone we have had come out with respect to working in the jumble. He has had quite a bit of practical experienoe in Panama and was anxious that he go up to 101 for work for you at least for the next Vo or-three months. I explained this to Kearny and we issuedeordersehere-assigning him to 101. Theenext I hear he is in Chins. I still -don't know how ba got there. get really pissed off when I even think about it. I am attach- ing a copy of the order on Kearny for your info. What goes on at Chabua is beyond me. Private Chang is another example of this same thing. He was assigned to 101 for an entirely different rea- son but he ends up in Euneing. I understand he has been sent back by this time. I have made no effort to try to recall Kearny be- cause I rather think he is just what they are looking for in Kun- ming and probably have him involved in plans up there by thie time. I don't know who is at fault but someone certainly is. re give the man orders here but theecan't reach their destination. ,Modified Liberators - MacCarthy, as you know, is in Lon- don screening personnel for this Theater. He is also doing all that ho can trying, to obtain-some-of those modified Liberators for us. I feel they are more or less set on assigning one squad- pproved for Release: 2023/05/18 C00027679 Approved forRelease:2023/05/18- C00027679 e - 41. pen to thd/ndia Hama Theater. Those child be able to seretoe both you and SAC. I know you don't have eny perticular need for them .now but you may have in the future. They are badly needed in China. / am writing to XAcCarthy asking him to cor- -respond with you direct on the personnel he lines up. He has been trying hard to gat a bunch for China. He has written sev- eral "eyes alone.' lettere to me in which he has popped off about an individual or teo, primarily Happnnr and his letters might prove cebarrassing if certain people saw them. I am going to leave them all behind, hoover, in Macaulay's care, and if you wish to review them, they vill all be available. We had a bunch of Heael arrive hare a few days ago. I think they deolded on the split as six for you, six for China and two to remain here. They are mostly Honolulu boys and I think you will find them pretty good. Alderdico - I get the feeling that Joe .is not helping the situation all he could. Ve have been sorer ing up by hav- ing people go to Calcutta and then maybe to 101, and then maybe back here. Much of this confusion Is my fault. In come instances, I didn't even know the bird was out hero until I heard from 101.e...- These people come back end indicate the trentment they gat from Alderlice is not so hot. If the situation has been fouled up, It is net necessarily thAr fault. Vhether they are able or not has nothing to do with it. They coee out here in good faith and Joe should treat them the same way ineteed of giving them the works on how SO never turned out a good man yet, etc., etc. It is nothing to do with his jeb and oertainlx doesn't add any- thing to the morale of the individuals concerned._ nava had several people ask me what is happening at 101.

It would appear that the situation is suf- ficiently important to necessitate serious thought, and that the MO Branch of OSS should know what it is doing before it makes any further commitments in this area. 7. We hope that Captain Becker vill soon be available so . that our Tower Project teams may receive ACAS indoctrina- tion.

With reference to our wire of 10 November we give further details of our conversation with Capt. Becker. 2. This morning Capt. Becker brought over a wire which he had just received in reply to his message to Major Wichtrich, to which I referred in paragraphs 4 and 5 of my letter of 6 November. The gist of the message from Washington was: a. That the War Department did not approve the proposed MO-AGAS agreement. b. That Capt. Becker was to take no further action pending Major Wichtrich's return to this theater. c. That Lt.Col. Little was being advised of the situation. 3. It was Capt.

Leete C&/-8 Theaters APO 885 Dear Comnander: I am very sorry for having been neglecting, considrably, to send you as much information as I should and also I have been very negligent in answering your letters. You ia.obably know, however, that I have been a busy individual during the past six weeks and in addition to being busy, have been laid up for about; ten days with a first classattack of boils. The result of this being that I put off everything I possiblircould. Now to ..et around to tne question of our Special Funds set up in Kunming. I have not heard from you since I wrote you suggesting you come uA.here and take over the Special Funds function. However, in the meantime you letter abut Lt. Oates and the recall of It. Davis from AGFETS arrived. Lt. Oats has arrived a few days ago. Personally I would be much in favor, if you are not comin3 out here, in seein Lt. Davis named Special Funds officer for China. He Is capable, thorough and I feel would make a very ;.;ood man as Special Funds officer. You are aware, however, of our relationship with AGFRTS. It is such that we can't take people out of it just any time we want to. This is a cnanze wnich would have to be effected with the mutual consent of AGFETE. and probably could not beerfected imz!lediately. I am workinz on I: 'and hope for a successful conclusion. Sol. de Sibour nas indicated tnat while he agrEed to the ;Ian he did not realize that It. Lsvis was attached to itaFT:TS and :hat it v.ould be a question of zettini: him back, re:,nirs: etc. Actually what I am :i:lahnin; is to nave Lt. Davis in as SI.%ecial Funs officer for China and re will handle both OS S and AGF17-.75 accotnts. Since we ar,, no. w::-kin: a cea' :: move zne AaFRTS H-1. to Eunminz, t is shouldn't be hard to do.
