in that it prevented her attendance at the Office of Finance
Grid course, for which she had already completed all the
pre-work.

1. recently visited
the Cartography Division of OBI to familiarize themselves with
one of the "wave of the future" application of computers to the
making of maps. The Cartography Division now provides support
to NSA as well as to our own Office of Communications, OSI,
FMSAC, and others who have need for rather exotic maps and charts,
useful for communications, intercept, or space-tracking operations,
Preparing such maps and charts in the past has been a grinding
operation by a man with desk calculator and pad and pencil, who
then had to transform the numbers into graphic results. The
process might take up to a month of full-time work. Now, the
Cartography Division, using programs prepared in the office of
Computer Services and a data-plotter in the Office of Special
Activities, can prepare the grid framework for these maps and
charts in an average time of 3 to 4 hours, with a completed map
in as little as 2 or 3 days. The system has great flexibility,
in that it can be used for various projections and at various
scales up to the limiting size of the data-plotter (about 5x6
feet). The Cartography Division hopes to procure and have in
operation soon a data-plotter that will draw lines rather than
merely plot points as the present one does. Exchange of programs
goes on between the Cartography Division and the U.S. Navy
Oceanographic Office.
2. The CT's of the Production Course spent last Monday
in DDS&T. of Dr. Wheelon's office had offered to set
up briefings on each of the components of the DDS&T. 025X1A
led off with an excellent introduction, fulfilling our request
that he give an overall view of the "philosophy" and goals of
scientific intelligence in the Agency. The rest of the day,
however, was disappointing. While the speakers avoided the
mission-organization-function approach, they overlapped con-
siderably in their talks and spent too much time on substance
rather than on the why and how of scientific intelligence and
its relation to other forms of intelligence and other parts of
the Agency. I uis open to suggestions and we hope to have
a better series of talks during the next course.

3. The CT's in the Intelligence Production Course
spent Tuesday through Friday of last week on the subject of
Basic Intelligence. The first half of this training was an
intense short course on maps which all of the CTs needed greatly.
Their performance on the final comprehensive map exercise
demonstrated considerable improvement in the techniques of using
and interpreting maps. On Thursday and Friday the CTs visited
the Office of Basic Intelligence. Mr. Brammell, Director of
Basic Intelligence, briefed the students on the present overall
activities of OBI, and on some of the current problems of
obtaining basic intelligence on the underdeveloped and remote
areas of the world. The students then visited three of the
Divisions of OBI where they had the opportunity to talk with
individual analysts in each Division. This gave the CT's a
good appreciation of the present data base and basic intelligence
production in the world area of their interest.
46. I spent the weekend at I I where there was an
informal observance of the 10th anniversary of the Studies in
Intelligence. I was glad to see that the Studies are now such
a solid part of CIA, and that the caliber of the leadership is
still as high as it was, despite the fact that the Board has
lost the abilities of Lyman Kirkpatrick.

The Director of Central Intelligence 4i-ad appeared
before the War College last month and had made a most
favorable impression. Both o 4r Agency students and
several instructors with whom' alked made unsolicited
remarks about this, particularly his adeptness during
the question period and the frankness of his remarks.
There was little evidence that the A.W.C. is using
programmed learning to any extent. Their use of closed
circuit TV in seminar situations is a start in this
direction. They are, however, considering an offer
from IBM to computerize much of their instruction and
administration, which, if adopted, could be a "pace
setter" for other schools of this type.
6. Miscellaneous
On 18 Novemberl attended the Inter-Agency
Area Round Table at FSI. These monthly inter-agency
meetings often provide valuable information of use in
the Orientation for Overseas course.
