GI-OVFR5V11,1�E, N.Y.
September 7th, 1946,
read with keen interest the series of
newspaper releases on the secret war work of the
MS and 1 gather that your organization wishes to
continue along varied lines during the post war and
peace eras.
How about starting an import company
for tin, rubber and other scarce articles now
neede& quickly to furnish jobs in important
industries, such as autos? Become a competitor
of mine!
Normally another g,vernmer t a6ency,
U.S. Commereial Co., would handle these, but at
present I cannot even get a radio message thrJugh
to my Chinese friends at Bangkok and Hong
Looks like it might take 6 months or more for the
usual commercial processes to arrange acceptable
currency for payment and to outain ships to bring
goods here.
I thinks yours is th.o only at,ency thae
can out across ail the obstaeles in south Asia,
fast.
Mot 01 the di Me ulties are military
717.TUre and you work with both. the Army Etha Navy.
USCC could not bet�ln to operate unt.4.1 import
business is operatin6 snoothly; a lone-, time off.
Besides, you could make a big profit wile they
set out, under BEW guidance, to deliberately "lose"
millions for alleged political expediency.
I think le6a1ly the OSS war job 10 not
completed until industries have enough materials
to operate 100A and can offer jobs to all veterans.
After that, private Importers rz!lould take ovel
U irinis peace, but young men of yo ir training sho'ild
be hired by importers for foreign jobs, so tiley can ,
report along various lines.
Yours very tru4*7( /

HEADQUARTERS
UNITED STATES STRATEGIC AIR FORCES IN EUROPE (REAR)
Office of the Director of Intelligence
Major General William J. Donovan,
Office of Strategic Services,
WASHINGTON) D. C.
Dear Bill,
AAF Sta. 390, APO 413,
0/0 Postmaster, NW., NY.
4 may 1945.
Many thanks for your nice letter of April 23. It was good
of you to write me considering the many toes on your time and the
pressure that you wire therefore under during your last visit. I do
look forward to chatting with you when you return to either England or
France.
I have nOted what you say about Captain Carl Kaysen and
asked my Personnel Section to investigate his status. I find that
Open is not assigned to OSS but is an Officer of US Strategic Air
Forces in Europe assigned to my Directorate, I also find that he is
presently engaged in the preparation of certain extensive reports
personally ordered by General Spaatz and that he is the only man that
we have qualified to do this work. Therefore I regret exceedingly that
I cannot let Kaysen go but must keep him at least until his present
assignment has been completed. Evidently Chandler Morse was mis-informed
as to Captain Weenie status.
I asked Lowell Wacker to go into this question with Captain
Lester Armour. He tells me that Lester fully understands Ksysenis
4ituations
With every warm personal good wish and the best of luck,
Sincerely,
GEORGE C. .IINALD,
Brigadier Oen rail U.S.A.
Director of Intelligences

PROMs Charles D. Fahs/W
SUBJECT: George Kennedy
SECRET
A
grI
D&TE: 12 April 1945
On several occasions in connection with your inquiries regarding
our plans for the Far East collection program in Europe, we have
mentioned George Kennedy as our candidate to head such collections
in Berlin. I should like, therefore, to inform you as to the dis-
posal of our recommendations for his employment.
You will recall that Dr. Kennedy is Professor of Chinese at Yale
University, reads both Chinese and Japanese, and is fluent in Ger-
man, having studied in institutions for Oriental studies in Berlin.
Our action to send Dr. Kennedy overseas waa pushed only after we
had discussed the case fully with the Security Office, and Dr.
Kennedy had already been cleared for work with OSS in Washington.
Possible difficulties of clearance with other agencies were also
thoroughly discussed.
Or. Kennedy's shipment was repeatedly delayed, first, by diffi-
culties in securing satisfactory arrangements with Yale Univer.
sity and second, by delays in securing transportation. When he
was finally called to port as of 1 April 1945, his passage had
to be cancelled because of the State Departmentle refusal to is-
sua a passport. I was informed on 30 March by. Mr. Southgate that
no appeal was possible at this time and that while the State De-
partment might ohange their minds at a later date, there was no
aesurance that they would do so. We were very much embarassed
by the lateness of this decision by the State Department.
In view or this uncertainty, the impossibility of keeping both
Dr. Kennedy and Yale University in suspense indefinitely, and
the rapid progress of events in Germany, we have �animated Mr.
Kennedy's appointment.

29 December 1943
You requested my opinion as to whether subject, now con-
nected with SO, should be transferred to SI as requested.
Mary and Kunjara requested subject and another Thai doctor
for shipment to the Far East as soon as training was completed.
About the middle of November SI requested the services of sub-
ject. SO suggested that subject be given SI training, so that
he would be qualified for SI work in the field. Some difficulty
with security was encountered in carrying out this suggestion.
On the 11th of December Milton Katz requostevi transfer
of subject from SO to SI. Lieutenant Fisher, SO Area Operations
Officer for Far East, informed Mr. Katz that he was not in a
position to approve of this transfer as the man had been reques-
ted by Mary. He did, however, express his willingness to have
subject receive SI training before going to the rield.
On December 15th, Mr. Katz directed a memorandum, through
Mr. Shepardson, to you requesting transfer of subject to SI.
AB SO was willing to have subject receive SI training, a
course %hid' SI did not put into effect, and as transportation
has already been requested for subject, and as sub-jept has been
requested by Mary and promised to him, it is reoommeh ed that
this transfer be disapproved.
