Lt. Fossil is presently at St. Alban's we York. We
are desirous of having him replace Lt. Richard Helms. WUR, tus
member of the Central Europe-Scandinavian Seotion, St. Lt. HoLm*
is leaving on or about February 24 for duty with Sr Branch. MTO
and eventual duty in Berlin.
It has been possible to make arrangements whereby tho Isyy
will permit Lt. Fossel to work in Waehington. Navy Regulation*
will not permit his assignment to Washington, and he w1,11 therefore
have to come to Washington on a "Permission to teave Naval Distrtet
Pass." Furthermore, it will be necessary for htm to report tor
inspection at the U.S.Naval Hospital, St. Alban's 'In Saturday or
eaoh week.
Under tho above conditions it is nnt poesible to mike the
customary arrangements for the use of Government Travel iequests
for transportation, nor is it possible to write orders which would
permit the payment of per diem to Lt. Passel while on duty tn
Washington.
It is requostod that you approve the payment from Special
Funds of a per diem of $7 to Lt. Fossel during the period he is
officially assignod to the Naval Hospital at St. Alban's but is
actually working in Washington, and the payment of his transporta-
tion to and from New York weekly.
You will remember that you m e somewhat aimilar/orrangements
during the.poriod that Lt. Itosselk as working in Washington sover.il

at the Department of Justice since I had promised to
give him an answer today to his inquiry regarding
possible political effects of a mooted Grand Jury

Deo.rnb.r 221 1942
At the Department of :Usti*, this, morn. ng I nor rred
with Le M. C. Smith, Chief of the Special War Polleles Unit,
War Division, and hifi afisistant, Jamefi R. Sharp, regarding thit
advinability of starting grand jury proceedings in Pittsburgh
looking to indictments, or possibly just the disclosure of
information respecting the Yugoslav political situation in ttu,
United States, Mr. Smith remarked that the Department of
Justice would of course have to decide whether a i.and jury
inquiry was indicated by legal factors and considerations,
but he had laid down the principle that decisionJ or this kind
should not be taken without prior inquiry of OSS, State, OWI
and perhaps other appropriate agencies regarding possible effects
on "political warfare" abroad and at home.
You will remember that the possibility or a grand Jury
inquiry was first broached, very confidentially, at a meeting
of the inter-departmental committee in Mr. Bone's office
December 16, Colonel Goodfellow being present as well as
myself. It seemed to be the consensus on that occasion that
what Mr. Berle called an "even-handed" inquiry, bearing equally
upon possible derelictions among the Croats and among the
Serbs, might have a beneficial deterrent effect upon all foreign
factional agitation in the United States. Mr. Berle emphasized

Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/09/27: CIA-RDP13X00001R000100420002-6
his own viewpoint that "factionalism" (In Alnland T qamiltorOg
sense) had now come to an intolerable point among the Tegoslav*
in the United States. While the consensus seemed to be zeteral
several (including myself) spoke or the delicacy of the pub-
licity problem which would arise and also of the danger of a
grand jury inquiry, once started, becoming a Salem witch hunt,
This morning Mr. Smith said to me that he solicited the,
advice of OSS on three questions. Before stating these qaestions
I should record that during a preceding talk with Mr. Sharp
alone I gathered that the legal staff in Mr. Smith's office
feels that it has at present only one water-tight legal case.
That is against an organization known as the Croatian leme
Defenders which was set up here some ten years ago by Ante
Pavelich himself -- Hitler's present Croatian c;iuisling. The
organization has now ostensibly disbanded but Mr. Sharp believes
that it continues alive underground and can become a source of
disturbance and danger if and when American forces arrive in
Yugoslavia. None of the cases on the Serbian side, wts.ich mig,ht
balance this Croatian case to produce an "even-handed" procedure,
are as yet so well perfected legally as this Croat:An case.
However, assuming (said 1:r. Smith) that a grand jury
inquiry in Pittsburgh would go ahead on an "over-all" or
"even-handed" basis, he would like to know the opini3n of OSS
respecting the probable effects, if any, on "political
warfare" --

to deal at the same time with delinquencies charged against
Regarding Mr. Smith's first question a brief informal
discussion among us three indicated some general agreement on
one aspect at least of the political situation In Yugoslavia,
namely this: The current fighting in, Yugoslavia turned not
only on national divisions, as between Croats and Serbs, but
also on social issues. Civil war was going on alongside of, and
cutting across, national war: If American forces entered the
Yugoslavian region they might find that Mihailovich had indeed
been husbanding his forces against the coming of the Americans
and could now be of substantial military help. We might well
wish to accept this help, although to do so would have the
political effect of aligning us on the side of "Greater Serbia"
and also on the conservative side of the Yugoslav civil war,
while our Russian ally was appearing in exactly the opposite

Against some such background Mr. Valth aked what miOt
be the political effects, favorable or unfavorableOT the
uuggested grand jury inquiry in Pittsburghl
The present memorandum is being prepared hastily in order
to get the general position before you -- I am leaving for
New York shortly; but this tentative comment ig offered an
Mr. Smith's question. A great disproportion seems to exi.st
between the broad political problem of Yugoslavia in gurope
and the mooted action in Pittsburgh. If a grand jury inquiry
were in progress when the Yugoslav military situation bincame
active in Europe, the political repercussions in the United
States might be exacerbated; but it is difficult to see how
the situation in Europe could be helped. The most that could
be hoped for, I should say, would be some quieting dawn of
political feeling among Yugoslays in this country and so perhaps
a better directed war effort on their part.
Regarding his second question Mr. Smith will probably
consult OWI. For this Branch I can offer at the moment only
this comment: The disposition of the grand jury might easily
be to concentrate upon derelictions of the Communist Yugoslav
newspaper in Pittsburgh, the Slovodna Rec, and to neglect
relatively those of the Serbia- Nationalist Merl)canski
Srbobran. The Slovodna Asc. is in effect the mouthpiece here
for Moscow. If punishment fell on the Res and not on the
Srbobran, what would be the effect on feeling in this country

Of course, even-handedness must be even all aroaid. a*
doubt the ideal would be, and perhaps the praotiCal opportunity
exists, to lay the hand of government alike on Sorb and Croat
and Communist and bourgeois nationalist.
On this subject of even-handedness I would point aat Chat
as between the Croats and Serbs, possibilities of Court aCtian
are not alone involved. Compensatory action on the Serbian
side might involve refusal to extend further the temporary visa,
of the Serbian ex-Minister and "Greater Serbia" propagandist
Yovan Duchich. And the State Department might act on diplomatic
grounds against the Serbian Bishop Dionisje, who is a public
functionary and paid as such by the Yugoslav Embassy*
Since Mr. Smith asked for a reply, or some intimation
from us, by early next week, I am hastening to broach to you
the whole complicated situation. Perhaps I shall submit a
supplementary memorandum when I have had more time to reflect.
I am presently impressed by what seems to me the great dis-
proportion between the size and bearings of the whole situation
on the one hand and the relative insignificance of the action
mooted in Pittsburgh; and especially am I impressed by the dis-
proportion appearing to exist between possible gains on the one
hand and the danger on the other of complications and unfavorable
reactions.
If the Justice Department has a perfect legal case
against the Croatian Home Defenders, they had best proceed as

general principle of action should, 1 think, be that which yam
stated in conversation with me .Saturday evetins
strictly legal grounds and do not seek political objeativeS
through so uncertain an instrument as a grand jury*
May I suggest in conclusion, however, that the care and
friendliness which Mr. Smith has shown in seeking at an earV
stage our advice on the "political warfare" aspect of this
problem is something to be encouraged, and that the answer to
be given Mr. Smith should be carefully framed with .this in
mind? On some future occasion coordination with Justice might
be altogether vital.

014111.1 OF $1111411101C
TO: Mr. James R. Murph
FROM: James B. Opsa
SUBJECT: Salary Increase Proposed for Freeman.
0,41111ovember 24, 1041
Freeman's salary was raised from $1320
to $1500 in August of this year. In addition,
we were able to got a second chauffeur position
classified at 1;1500 for a personal chauffeur
for Col. Buxton.
It is not possible to reclassify ?reeman
as he is in the top chauffeur classification now.
As suggested sometime ago, I would think
a second chauffeur for Col. Donovan should be
put on. Then Freeman could work from say 7:00 a.m.
to 3:30 p.m. and the second man from 3:30 to mid-
night.
