GENERAL
Upon arrival at Stanford University on the tenth of March, an
inventory was taken to determine the best method of exploiting the
vast amount of documents that had already arrived at the Library.
This included roughly. 152 crates of Japanese docuMents, some Korean
items, a vast amount of Russian documents, and eight crates of Chi-
nese documents that had recently arrived from China on the "Admiral
Capps"..
Two lines of action was decided upon: The immediate preparation
of a general survey on foreign documents for Documents Branch. The
immediate screening of the Chinese documents for items of possible
intelligence value. These will be forwarded to Washington for further
exploitation.
The general survey of Russian, Korean, and Japanese documents
were forwarded as Report I and II.
With the arrival of (ORS), efforts were concen-
trated on the screening of the Chinese documents that were fast
filling all the available floor space at the Library. Two more ship-
ments of documents from China had arrived; Eleven crates on the SS
General Weigel (Meigel shipment No I) and seven more on the SS General
Nreigelts second trip. (Weigel shipment No II) At least two more
shipments were expected at Stanford from Canton, China and the Island
of Formosa.
To date, the eight crates of material on the Admiral Capps'
shipment and the eleven crates of the first Weigel shipment have been
screened. The seven crates bf the second Weigel shipment arrived
at Stanford as I was preparing to return to Washington, 1-). C. and
these have not been screened. (Four of these crates are earmarked
for the University of Washington. I have requested Stanford Library
officials to hold the remaining three crates in storage until further
instructions from Aashington).

ADMIRAL CAPPS' SHIPMENT
These were the original eight crates of Chinese documents I
was sent to screen at the Hoover Library. As already indicated in
Report II, the 10,000 sundry items of this shipment were all pub?
lished either prior to the Revolution of 1911 or during the early
years of the Republic. Very few of the documents were published
during the last ten years and all are of questionable value at the
present time.

SS GENERAL NEIGEL SHIPMENT NO I (eleven crates)
(1) Communist Chinese Documents, By purchase, gift, or ex-
change, the field representatives of the Hoover Library in China
managed to accumulate a sizable collection of documents from the
Communists of Yenan, Kalgan, Peiping, and Chungking. The bulk of
the items were obtained in Yenan from party, administrative and
military organizations, a printing office and four book stores.
They were all published during the past ten years when party head-
quarters have been at Yenan. Earlier materials were scattered
during the long march from Kiangsi.
Newspapers
a. Chieh-fang Jih-pao variously translated as uEhancipation
Daily,' or "Liberation Daily", the leading organ of the
Chinese Communists. Very nearly complete file from the
first issue in May 1941 through October 1946. Parts of
the months of June 1941 and March and December 1945 are
missing.
b. Pien-chtu chtun-chung pao, "Border regions Mass Newspaper"
published in Yenan in the Shensi vernacular. It is nearly
complete for the periods MArch 1944 to February 1945 and
April 1946 to October 1946. This paper is far less impor-
tant for the study of general communist policy than the
influential Chieh -fang, but it is useful for the study
of the popular propaganda and of local problems in the
Shensi -Kansu -Ninghsia communist area.
c. Hsin Chung -Hua pao predecessor of the Chieh-fang, 1937 to
1941, published every three days. This important paper
is obtainable only from grocery shops which occasionally
use old copies for wrapping. A search of these shops
yielded the Hoover library a fragmentary file scattered
through the period March 1939-May 1941.
d, Ktang-chan pao, Journal of the War of Resistance. Pub-
lished in Shensi Province. Fragmentary file September 1944
to September 1945. Also acquired from grocers.
e. Sample copies of Kuan-chung pao, published in Ma-lan, Shensi
and Pu-tui Sheng-pao, "Army Life, the ',Stars and Stripes"
of the Eighth Route Army.
Magazines
a. Over seventy copies of 22 different magazines were obtained,
all 1946 vintage except a few.
b. Fifteen miscellaneous pamphlets dated 1945 and 1946.

Books and Pamphlets
a. Items dealing with political and economic affairs in the
communist areas and communist publications concerning
recent and current affairs throughout China. Over two
hundred titles, some in several volumes, mainly published
between 1941 and 1945. They vary from small propaganda
pamphlets to substantial compendia.
b. Over a hundred titles dealing with communist literature,
music, and fine arts. Texts of all plays with political
content, which are probably the communistst most effective
method of mass persuasion. Words and music of political
songs. The new wordsto folk tunes which the blind village
minstrels are now singing. A few reinterpretations of
Chinese history by communist scholars.
c. About sixty items on education, including sets of text
books on educational theory, eight issues of the border
regional educational journal, carbon copy of the report
of the 1st primary school, and a set of manuscript essays
by students of the 2nd primary school which were posted
in the school yard.
Posters
a. Over twenty posters advocating everything from fly prevention
to the withdrawal of American troops. A. cartoon poster dis-
crediting General Marshal and the American troops in China.
MAID
a. Over twenty maps printed in the border regions. The most
interesting are those which show the new commupist political
and administrative subdivisions of the areas under their
control.
Misc. Items
a. A set of patriotic badges which are sold to and worn by any-
body in communist areas. Sets of paper currency of the Shen-
Kan-Ning area. Pictures of Mao Tse-Tung, Chu Tel and Chou

(3) WALTER HEISSIG - MONGOL COTJACTION
Eight of the eleven crates of the first Weigel shipment
constituted the collection of Dr. Walter Heissig, former university
professor in Peiping, who during the period of World War a was a
member of Nazi Intelligence service in the Orient headed by Lt. Col.
Ludwig Ehrhardt. Ehrhardt Bureau coordinated German army, navy, air
and economic intelligence activities in the Far East, and its field
extended from Siberia to Ceylon, Australia, and the Pacific Ocean
areas as far as Hawaii. Dr. Walter Heissig was the expert on Inner
and Outer Mongolia. The Heissig collection, without doubt, is one
of the best existing collections on Mongolia, the material is mostly
of a technical scholarly type. The majority of the seven or eight
thousand volumes are written in Mongol, Russian, German, and Chinese.
Altho the majority of the collection is background material on
Mongol literature, steps should be taken to have the collection for-
warded to Central Intelligence Group for reference material and
perusal for further exploitation. There are at best only a very small
handful of Mongol language experts in the United States and lithe
material is not going to yield up any secrets except in the hands
of a genuine scholar, carefully trained in the subject for many
years. A copy of the 18 January 1947 issue of the New York Times
stating that Dr. Walter Heissig was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment
by United States Army Commission for his activities with the Ehrhardt
Bureau is included in this report. Before his actual confinement,
Dr. Heissig gave Mr. Arthur Wight (Stanford Representative in China),
countersigned by Heissigis lawyers, authorization for Nr. Wight to
take over the Heissigts collection until his 20 year prison sentence
is over. This fact is not known to others except to Stanford library
authorities and Mr. Wright. Attached also is a copy of a letter
from Wright to Dr. Fisher of the Hoover Library giving the background
of the attempt by one Kullgren (at present,believed to be with Intelli-
gence Division, Pentagon Bldg.) to procure the collection for Washington
at the time, but Stanford field representatives had already got the
collection an board the SS General Weigel for shipment to Stanford.
Before my departure for Washington, I spoke to Dr. Fisher casually
about the Heissig Collection, and during the course of the conversation
Dr. Fisher stated with reluctant acquiesence that if Washington
authorities request for the collection, he had no recourse but to
let it go.

' From New York Times 18 Jan. 1947 Re: Walther Heissig, Herbert Mueller.
"Ehrhardt. German Spy in Orient, and 20 Aides sentenced in China.
Leader Gets Life Term From United States Army Commission for Hiding Japanese-
Two Receive 30 Years.
By Henry R. Lieberman: special to the New York Times.
Shanghai, Jan. 17--Lieut. Col Ludwig Ehrhardt, Chief of the Nap Intelligence service
in the Orient, was sentenced today to life imprisonment by the U.S. Army Military
Commission. He was convicted of conducting espionage for the Japanese after Germany's
surrender.
Twenty other members of the Ehrhardt Bureau were found guilty of violating the
Garman surrender terms by continuing espionage activities. Two were sentenced to
thirty years' imprisonment and the rest, including a young woman, Frau Maria Mueller,
received prison terms ranging from five to twenty years.
Flanked by six military police, some of the defendants jerked to rigid Prussian-
style attention as their names were called. Most displayed little emotion.
Ehrhardt, a hollow-cheeked, bespectacled man of about 45, who looks more like a
tired bookkeeper than a master spy, stood up dejectedly. A gulp slid down his thin
neck as he heard his punithment fixed at "hard labor for the rest of your natural
life";
Chief has Vast Field
Ehrhardt handed the German fifth column in the Balkans before he was sent to
China to coordinate German army, navy, air and economic intelligence activities here.
He took over in December, 1942, and his field extended from Siberia to Ceylon, Australia
and Pacific Ocean areas as far as Hawaii.
Two who received thirty-year terms were Baron Jesco von Puttkamer, former chief of
the German Information Bureau, and Alfed Romain, propagandist, who once worked for
the German Library of Information in Nev York.
In the summer of 1941 almost the entire staff of the Library of Information at
17 Battery Place Was shifted to Shanghai. The mailing list was sent ahead earlier by
diplomatic pouch.
Four persons received twenty year sentences, including Hans Hosberg, a Jewish
journalist who became an "honorary aryan" after fifth column work in Danzig and Poland.
The three others were Dr. Walther Heissig, former University professornin Peiping;
- Erich Heise, who headed the bureau's Canton office, and SiegfriedPuellkrug, who
directed the Peiping branch.
Johnannes Rathje, former pilot and chief of the bureau's air intelligence, receiVed
a fifteen-year term. He once piloted Hermann Goering.
Among the six who got ten-year terms was Bodo Habenicht, credited with breaking
the United States Coast Guard code early in 1942. The others were Lieut. Ingward
Rudloff, head of the German naval intelligence here; Dethleffs, another code expert;
Walther Richter, chief of communications, Hermann Jaeger, utility man, and Dr. Herbert
Mueller, German News Agency chief in North China.
Dr. Felix Altenburg, German charge d'affaires in Peiping got eight years.
Six. got Five-year Term
Besides Frau Mueller, five others got five-year terms. They were Dr. Franz
Seibert, German Consul in Canton; Oswald Ulbricht and Hans Ninemann, radiomen;
Heinz Feerschke, Microfilm expert, and August Stock, handyman.
Six defendants, including Ernst WOermans, former Ambassador to the Nanking puppett
regime,mere acquitted last November. They are still in Ward Road Jail awaiting
repatriation to Germany, where they may be tried on other charges.

The trial prosecutor was Lieut. Col. Jeremiah H. Oconnor of Washington D. C.
The results are regarded here as a personal triumph for Marine Captain Frank
T. Farrell, former New York reporter, and Marvin Gray also of Nev York, who were the
chief investigators. Before the end of the mar, Captain Farrell and Mr. Gray, then a
lieutenant in the Army made a reconnaissance of the Japanese-held Fort Bayard area for
a scheduled South China landing.

c/C to EHR to: New York Peiping, 18 Feb 1947
Washington
Dear Dr. Fisher:
I mailed my letter of yesterday's this morning, and this afternoon
I had a caller and a letter both of which you should know about at once.
A letter from Heissig dated Feb. 4 WAS sent through the military
attache Is pouch, and thus took two weeks to reach no. I have had
much more recent letters through ordinary post, but not mentioning the
two matters touched on in this letter of Feb. 4.
1. His dictionaries were returned to him, and he will be allayed
to take them to Germany, along with his research manuscripts, etc.
2. Co].. Lewis L. Leavell, Asst U S military attache came to Heissig
in the jail on Feb. 5 and told him that a radiogram from Kullgren
requested Heissig to send H's book to Kullgren in Washington. He
could not but agree, and in his letter of Feb. 4 he instructs me to
turn the books over to the Asst. military Attache in Peking for shipment
in army pouches to Kullgren. Maj. Bradley, who is asst. mil. attache
here came to the house this afternoon, bringing H's letter and asking me
to turn the books over to him. I told him of course that they were on
the Gen. Weigel en route to the US. His impression is that they are
wanted officially in Washington and that it is not a move on Xullgren's
part to safeguard the collection himself, but he WAS not perfectly cer-
tain. I suggest that you get in touch with Hullgren at once and try to
straighten the matter out.
Ey personal opinion is that the collection should be kept together,
and you could do a better job of that than the bureaucrats. Secondly,
the material is mostly of a technical scholarly type. I know that all
branches of intelligence have got the mind up about their lack of
knowledge of Mongolia. But the Heissig collection is slanted more on
Mongol literature than anything else, and that material is not going to
yield up any secrets except in the hands of a genuine scholar, carefully
trained in the subject for many years. A catalogue and microfilming would
be the first steps in appraising its value and making parts available.
I am sure you can work out some agreement with Kullgren or the
War Department, but I should think immediate action desirable, as they
might try to intercept the shipment when it comes off the Weigel* mix it
up with our awn acquisitions, etc., etc. Parenthetically and between
ourselves, Heissig gave me a paper, countersigned by his lawyer, autho-
rixing me to take over his books, and his new instructions are of course
not his awn but result from force majeure.
Wits best regards
Sincerely
Sgd: Arthur

MEMORANDUM ON WALTHER HEISSIG
1. Curriculum vitae:
Born, Vienna 5 Dec 1913. Youth in Vienna, Matriculum Berlin, Oct '35
1935-36 service in German Army, through that service loss of Austrian
citizenship, conferment of German. For a brief period member SS.
Studies: 1936-9 studied Mongol, some Chinese, ethnology, geography,
prehistory, archeology at Berlin Univ.
Service in the Army, autumn 1939--autumn 1940, dismissed because of health.
(published in "Geopolitik") Continued studies at Vienna U. 1940-41.
Ph.D (summa cum laude) Thesis: "Der mongolisohe Kulturwandel in den
Hsinganprovinzen." 1940-41 assistant in Far Eastern Dept. Museum of Ethnology
May 1941, travel via Siberia to Manchuria. Jul-Aug travel in the Mongol areas
of the three 'eastern provinces.
Outbreak of war with Russia prevented return to Germany. Resided in Changhun
until Autumn 1943. Study of Mongol language and problems. Autumn 1943, called
under Army orders, to work for the so-called Erhardt bureau (German counter-
espionage) at Peiping. Continued that work until 8th May 1945, publishing at
the same tine in Folklore Studies, Monumenta Serioa? and Sinelogische Arbeiten.
1944-45 lecturer Catholic University, Peiping. Published the monograph
"Bolur Erika" June 1946. Taken in early June to Shanghai charged with "illegal
post surrender activities in connection with the so-called Erhardt Bureau".
Is now on trial.
Comment: There is agreement among those who know that Heissig is a vary gifted
young scholar. I cite Lattimore, Lessing who knows his work), and Antoine
Mostaert, the greatest living hengolist. He is by nature impulsive, and in his
early twenties, joined various violent youth movements which led eventually to
his loss of Austrian citizenship and his draftinginto the German Army. I think
he sincerely and genuinely, and for a long period has regretted his early mis-
takes, and he was apparently not among the active Nazis either here or in
Manchuria, though heves under orders to work for the bureau. This is not an
easy matter to judge, but I am convinced that he has lost whatever immature
fascist ideas he may once have had. He has boundless enthusiasm for his work,
a fine analytical mind, great technical competence. He is a vigorous and
lively companion. His English is fair but improving.
3. Plan: Before the arrest he gave me an outline of his p4ns: (1) a Continu-
ation of my Bolur Erike, reconstruction of the Ghengis tan epic and the sayings
of Ghengis Khan. (2) A history of mongol nationalism. (3) Edition of the
mongol historical chronicles which I discovered in manuscript in Mongolia. "I
could be used as teacher for anoient and modern Mengel history, mongol language
and literature, library workon a Mongol collection, work in the Far Eastern
Department of an Ethnological Institute." He is at present on trial, and
although Kullgren sent a strong letter of recommendation to be used on his
behalf, and Dr. Stuart promised him a Yenching post, should he be freed,
Heissig is new of the opinion that, in accordance with American orders, he
will be deported to Germany at the end of the trial. He believes, and has
been informed that this will hold -whether he is found guilty or not. The
defense Attorneys are certain that he will be found innocent. I have talked
with them. Unless stronger pressure from America intervenes, it now appears
that he will have to return to Germany.
4. Library: His collection contains many rare, some unique books and mis. If
the Hoover library is agreeable, I shall have them sent there for safekeeping.
Please let me know. From your experience in handling other German libraries,
you will probably be able to tell whether the presence of his books on your

it, I shall try to have a full list made. It fills

5. Recommendations: It is my opinion that Heissig would make up for our national
deficiencies in Mongol studies. He would be a stimulating member of a Far-
Eastern Institute. His knowledge in the field is unique. If Stanford or the
Hoover Institute contemplates such a program, you should make every effort
to get him.

Kullgren sees it from the point of view of national policy (though he likes
Heissig very much personally), and some branch of the government ought in
the national interest, to stand sponsor for Heissig if you take the initiative
in keeping his usefulness available.
Any steps in this line should be taken at once, for deportation is likely to
come up at any time. The Chinese, with their idea that once on trial means
certain guilt, will be difficult to deal with, and even Dr. Stuart may not
be able to guarantee his immunity from Chinese interferenoe, s#ould he be
allowed to remain in China* If deported he mill go to Munich. He is persona
non grata to the Austrian government. It might be possible to get him out of
Germany, but you probably know the difficulties in such an operation, esp. if
he has beendeported from China as undesirable. He has no backlog of money
to keep him going, aid immediate financial relief would have to be forthcoming
should he be exempted, temporarily or permanently from deportation.
For your information I quote from a letter from State to Prof. Goodrich who
had written asking them to exempt Drs. Fuchs and Heissig from deportation
(2 July 1946) "...the appropriate agencies have established the connection
with the Nazi war effort of both Dr. Heissig and Dr. Fuchs and the Department
has concurred in such measures as may be found necessary and appropriate in
connection with the repatriation of these two Germans...However, the War
Departnent has determined that Germans in China, particularly those connected
with the Nazi party and its activities in China should be repatriated to
Germany. The Dept. of State concurs with this policy."
P.S. He has a wife in Vienna whom he is trying to divorce.

V MISCELLANEOUS
a. German Embassy Collection
Tentative arrangementzhave been made by Sanford Library
representatives to obtain the Library of the german Embassy in Peiping.
This Library consists of some 10,000 volumes of which approximately
1,000 are standard bound foreign volumes, the rest being made up of
journals, reports, pamphlets etc. The languages used in order of
frequency are: German, Chinese, English, French, Italian, Russian, and
Japanese. Since the collection belonged to the German Embassy, it
should contain documents of possible intelligence value on the Far East;
I Have no knowledge where the collection exist this date. During my
last conference with Dr. H. H. Fisher before returning to Washington, I
inquired of Dr. Fisher if any German Embassy material were in the Hoover
Library stacks; Dr. Fisher stated that the Library did have some of the
items, but requested that I keep the matter confidential as it mould
involved a great number of people.
b. Mongolia and Sinkiang
The Hoover Library is very interested in foreign publications relating
to Mongolia and Sinkiang. I underistand that contact has been made with
Professor Basil Alexeev, Director, Chinese Cabinet, Oriental Institute,
Academy of Science of the USSR, Leningrad for the Institute's bibliography
of material on these areas.
About 17 February 1947, Stanford field representatives in China established
contact with the Consul-General in Urumchi and requested that all back
issues of Tartar newspapers, current subscriptions and all local publications
be sent to Stanford University.
e. Japanese Collection
At the present time, the Hoover Library has about 160 crates of Japanese
documents on hand. Each month, various Stanford representatives in Japan
send on an average of two crates to the Library. These crates fortunately
contain "shipping list" itemizing the Contents. I have already informed
Hoover Library officials that Documents Branch was interested in obtaining
copies of all the "shipping list" and have coordinated with 50X1
to have his typist make copies for DB. In general, the type of-documents
in this collection are of a lower priority competed with the Chinese
documents. Suffice it is to have on hand in Documents Branch a complete
listing exactly what is available at Stanford.
d. Kiang YU-Wei's Printed Works
Hoover Library representatives in China microfilmed six to eight volumes
of the printed works of 'clang Yu,awei. These were obtained from the
immediate family of Mr. Vang.
e? Tang Wu Kung Pao
Hoover Library is negotiating with the Kuomintang to obtain complete files
of the party gazette which circulates only to party members.

f. Mho's Who (Kuomintang)
Stanford University representatives in China succeeded in procuring
from the Communist a complete up-to-date Who's Who giving the top
echelon personnel of the Kuomintang. At present, the original
document is being microfilmed at Harvard University to be returned
to Stanford in the near future.
VI NOTES FOR THE RESEARCHER
As the screening of the Chinese documents progressed, I jotted
down tidbits of information on certain documents that may be of use
to the researchers. I an passing these notes on for what they're
worth.
The Proof of Russia's Secret Plot
Four volumes dealing with the secret Russian documents that Marshal
Chang Hsueh Liang's Military Police seized in their raid on the Russian
Embassy located at Peiping on the 6th of April, 1926. These volumes
published the more important documents from among the many hundreds
taken. (original Russian documents photostated with Chinese translations)
It brings out documentary praf of Russian economic and military
penetration of China. It demonstrates (with charts) haw the Russian
spy system operated to procure Chinese military and economic secrets, and
haw confusion was caused in China by the supplying to the Chinese
Communist munition and financial aid to promote strikes, revolts and
civil war. It also showed that their final aim will be to achieve World
Revolutions by attacking capitalistic countries one at a time.
China's Four Great Families
Communist condemnation of the "Big Four" families currently occupying
the key spots in China, namely Chiang, Soong, Kung 'and Chen or Chiang
Kai Shek, The Soong sisters minus Hadame Sun Yet Sun, H. H. Kung and the
Chen brothers of the central clique. Accusation includes charges of
mal-practices with regards to foreign exchange, the creation of trade
monopolies, eto., for self benefit entirely at the expense o1. the people.
The Secret Societies of Ching Pang and Ko Lao
This is the first time I've had the good fortune to oome across a book of
this nature. I recommend full translation of its contents to gain an
insight to the workings of secret organizations new operating in China.
I also highly recommend a very limited distribution of translated copies for
security reasons. Originally one 'of the secret organizations was formed
to overthrow the Manchu Dynasty. Subsequently, the organization was used
for otherpurposes. During World Mar II, both secret organizations under
friirlr4r

.
Tai Ii served as an effective spy system on the Japanese. With the
fall of Japanese war machine, the nationalist government used the
two organizations to keep the Communist in line. Although the
Communist published the volume to expose the workings of Ko Lao and
ahiang Pang societies, the same information would be of tremendous
use to our awn intelligence organization in China.
Ilritings of Lu Hsiun
Six volumes on the works of Lu Hsiun eincluded among the Chinese
documents screened. Five volumes published by the-CoMmunist and one
by the KUqmintang advocates. On the surface these volumes appear to have
no immediate intelligence value, but I recommend that re/searchers may
pay careful attention to the name of La Hsiun. Naw deceased, Chow Shu-Jen
(Chow Shou-Jon) (better known undel7aniarre-plume, Lu Hsiun) exercised
a tremendous influence upon the followers of Communism. A brilliant
man with very humble circumstances, he could have been a man of tremendous
wealth and power in China if he would have but compromised his principles.
But principles triumphed over wealth and Lu Hsiun died a poor man. In
the last few years, the name of Lu Hsiun became tremendously popular
with the average citizens of china--both Communist and KMT followers alike.
His sound principles and progressive thoughts have been taken over and
interpreted by Communist scholars as the same progressive and liberal
viewpoints expounded by the Chinese Communist Party. This form of
propaganda has tremendous appeal to the average Chinese with the result
that many, if not openly, have secretly admired the Communist Party.
It appears to me that CIGis interest in Lu Hsiun is this. Here is a
man that has tremendous following in China, all classes alike, in both
parties. By studying closely the thoughts and writings of Lu Hsiuns
timely propaganda could probably be effected to point out to Mr. John Doe
of China that the Lu Hsiunts thoughts, writings, and the views of the
Communist Party are not oneor the same.

VII SUMMARY REMARKS
a. My tour of duty at the Hoover Library confirmed a long-held
conviction that the most expedient and economical method of
exploiting a document target site calls for Documents Branch
representatives initially to perform the spade work of surveying
such sites to determine scope and content of the collection,
performing if required, the necessary screening functions* selecting
items for further exploitation and forwarding such items by the
mpst expeditious means to Documents Branch where the documents
are prepared in an acceptable form (translation,etc.) for the use
of the Research Analyst.
The vast amount of Chinese documents arrivedd Stanford
University in huge crates, odd boxes* bundles, bags?completely
untranslated. Thirty-five thousand documents mere quickly scruened
and eight hundred items selected and forwarded to Documents
Branch where the items mill be accessioned in Documents Branch
publications and disseninated to all authorized agencies.
b. Any attempts at research in the field will encounter certain
obstacles and Stanford University is no exception. All the
necessary tools for research are centrally located in the Washington
DC area; this includes the various technical reference books,
dictionaries, gazetteers, the numerous expert consultants, the
necessary ancillary personnel who are properly cleared to do even
typing. I reiterate* Documents Branch personnel, familiar lui-Ch the
"logistics" of documents exploitation (linguistic requirements,
material already on hand in Documents Branch, and other Washington
repositories) should initially perform the spade work of documents
exploitation.
c. Dr. Walter Heissig is spending the next twenty years in prison
and will be deported to Germany upon completion of the term. If
Dr. Heisaig is deported before the twenty years period, I am confident
our worthy allies will take adequate steps to secure his services,
sinc7777173777 is one of the few real authorities on Mongol
territory, people, custom, language, etc. Dr. Owen Lattimore,
Dr. Lessing (U. of Calif.) and Antoine Mostaert, the greatest living
Mongolist mill attest to this. It is my understanding that Dr. Heissig
has his personal dictionaries and research manuscripts with him and
that he is at present writing a history of Mongol nationalism in
prison. It is felt that Central Intelligence Group should exploit
Dr. Heissigfs knowledge of Inner and Outer Mongolia in the same manner
as German technical experts are presently being exploited. To the
best of my knowledge, there are no Mongolian language experts in CIG,
and Heissigls knowledge could be utilized to a high degree in this
aspect.

de I recommend that Documents Branch take positive steps to
procure custody of the Heissig collection from Stanford
University for such time as required for adequate'purusal of the
collection to determine if further exploitation is needed. I
have already informed Mr. lay Stein tote sure the collection
is not tampered with until further instructions from Washington.
e.
Before leaving the Hoover Library, I atteppted to work out
an arrangement whereby Documents Branch will be kept informed
of what the Library receives, especially its incoming current
newspapers, and periodicals, special collection, etc. It was
my intention to come back to Washington mtih a working agreement
whereby Stanford will send to Documents Branch a duplicate
copy of every Library card it prepares for all items indexed
and cataolgued. Both Dr. Fisher and Miss Nina Almond, Reference
Librarian, agrred to the idea in general. The whole conversation
was conducted on a very informal basis, but the idea was firmly
planted in event of future DB efforts in this direction.
