In compliance with the directive and requirements issued to the Docu-
ments Survey Team, the following actions were taken:
Captured Documents, World War II
1. The quantity of captured World War II documents still held in
FEC is probably close to the 3,000 figure given by G-2, FEC. These docu-
ments are primarily of basic intelligence interest held, by the Geographic
Branch, Theater Intelligence Division, G-2; the Historical Division, 0-3
(formerly part of G-2); the Engineers Section, G-2; the Department of the
Army Japanese Area Language School; and other FEC agencies for their own
use. Listings of captured documents on loan from ATIS to major FEC li-
braries are available in FDD. The holdings of the Historical Division
library are not included because ATIS file on loans was incomplete.

TIS explained that the doubt as to the accuracy of the 3,000
figure may be attributed to the confusion of the term "captured documents"
as interpreted by FDD and by TIS. "Captured Documents" as used. by TIS
mean those documents selected and earmarked for shipment to the Zone of
Interior by the Advance Echelon of the Washington Document Center After
March 1946, TIS has included in this category those documents discovered
in caves and other hiding places as a result of the Special Documents Proj-
ect conducted by ATIS and those collected by the CIC.
Documents acquired locally through purchase, gifts, or loans
from Japanese libraries and individuals are not considered as captured
documents The impression that FEC still holds a large number of'cap-
tured documents is probably created by the number of documents in the
second category. For example, the Geographical Branch and'the Civil In-
telligence Division (CI Div) libraries contain hundreds of documents which
were purchased, received on loan, or as gifts.
2. In response to an inquiry on the documents stored in the basement
of the NYK Building and in a warehouse at the Tokyo Arsenal in Oji, TIS
offered the following explanations.
a. Documents on file in the basement of the NYK Building are
the documents used by the International Prosecution Section for the war
crimes trial. After the dissolution of IPS, the files were transferred
to the Historical Division, G-2. In mid-August 1951, G-2, FEC received
instructions to ship IPS documents to Washington. To prepare the docu-
ments for shipment, the files were transferred to the Document Section,
ATIS. The Documents Section was preparing an inventory of the files when
the Team left Tokyo. (IPS documents will be treated in more detail in
the section below.
. b. Documents formerly stored at the Tokio Arsenal were those
collected by the CIC and are listed in ATIS Shipping Advice No 10182,
Parts I, II, and III dated 31 July 1951. The shipping advice is On file
in FDD.
c. Other documents in the Warehouse were Type "B" documents
captured in the Korean operations and not World War II documents. These
documents were processed for shipment to DA under ATIS Shipping Advice
No 2001, 2002, and 2003, dated 1 August, 21 August, and l'September 1951,
respectively.
3. The International Prosecution Section files include approximately
5,000 documents used in or collected for the war crimes trials. The docu-
ments have been principally borrowed from libraries and private collections
and from files of various Japanese government offices. Therefore, in a
technical sense, they are not captured documents. However, since, these
documents probably contain information of intelligence value, mention is
made here of the files.

At present, the files are stored in the basement of the NU Build-
ing. In mid-August, the Department of the Army instructed G-2, FEC to ship
the documents to Washington. The Document Section, ATIS, was appointed
custodian of the files and is responsible for the preparation of an in-
ventory.
The Documents Survey Team attempted to screen the IPS files, but
improper cataloging and filing made the task impractical.
(The latest development on IPS files is that in September 1951
the Department of the Army rescinded its previous instructions and in-
structed G-2, FEC to microfilm all Japanese records and to return the
original documents to their owners.)
ATIS Exploitation of Captured Documents, World War II
1. ATIS (technically speaking, the Translation Section) is solely ,
a translation service agency and is not an exploitation center in the same
sense as FDD. Therefore,,ATIS does not maintain records of translation
activities in FEC nor maintain a file of all translations completed, ex-
cept those translations which are published.
2. World War II captured documents acquired by ATIS were listed in
shipping advices for evacuation to the Zone of Interior. Before the ship-
ment was made, however, the lists were circulated within FEC so that local
agencies could retain documents of interest to them. The interested
agency borrowed the documents and usually requested ATIS to make the de-
sired translations. When ATIS completed the translations, it sent the
manuscripts of the translations with the original documents to the reques-
ting agency. The translations were published if the requestor desired
several copies or if ATIS felt that other agencies might be interested.
Otherwise, the translations were unpublished, but listings of such trans-,
lations were maintained by the Translation Section.
3. The principal users of ATIS translation service are: Historical
Division, G-3; Civil Intelligence Division, G-2; Assistant Chief of Staff,
G-2; G-2, DA; COM NAV FE; and ATIS sections such as Research and informa-
tion Section, Central Interrogation Center, and Operations Section.
4. In response to the Team's request, ATIS has prepared lists of
translations completed since September 1945.
The Research and Information Section prepared the "List of ATM
Translated Documents on File in ATIS Research and Information Section Files."
The list is as of 20 August 1951. It contains pliplished ATIS reports.

The Translation Section prepared a list of unpublished transla-
tions. When translations were of interest to other agencies, ATIS prepared
carbon copies for limited distribution. These reports were not edited.
The Geographic Subsection of Translation Section prepared a list
of translations done for the Geographic Branch, Theater Intelligence Divi-
sion, G-2. Translations for Geographic Branch are usually unpublished.
Manuscripts and original documents are, in most cases, filed in the Geo-
graphic Branch Library.
The "List of ATIS Translated Documents on File in ATIS Research
and Information Section Files," the Translation Section report, and the
Geographic Subsection report have been placed on file in FDD and are being
incorporated into the central index file.
Captured Documents, Korean Operations
1. It has been estimated by ATIS that, as of 1 September 1951, the
number of documents captured in the Korean operations was as follows:
Type "A" documents, approximately 10,000 and Type "TO documents, approxi-
mately 22,500.
Type "A" documents include those of immediate tactical value such
as field orders, situation or operations maps, documents giving projected
operations or plans for the movement of troop units, naval or air forces,
and documents fully or partially translated in FEC.
TIS stated that these documents will be retained in the theater until
the close of the Korean operations, Imless otherwise instructed by G-2, DA.
G-2, FEC will provide photostatic reproduction of any Type "A" document on
request. Inventories. of Type "A" documents are listed in ATIS Bulletin,
Enemy Documents, Korean Operations, and its predecessor, Enemy bOaliatsi
Korean Operations, Part II.
Type "B" documents include those of strategic value or of interest
to level beyond the theater, such as tactical and technical manuals and
books, letters, newspapers, periodicals, letters, etc. These documents
are shipped to the Zone of Interior after it has been determined that they
do not contain information which can be more expeditiously exploited. 'by
FEC. At present, ATIS has been authorized by G-2, DA to exploit certain
technical manuals, topographic data and maps required for terrain studies,
and those Type "B" documents which contain Type "A" information.
In accordance with current instructions -from G-2, DA, ATIS ships
Type "B" Documents to the Adjutant General, Federal Records Center, King
and Union Streets, Alexandria, Virginia, unless directed otherwise.

have been forwarded to the Zone of Interior on IS Shipping Advices
No 2001, 2002, and 2003, dated 1 August, 21 August, and 1 September re-
spectively. Included in these shipments are large numbers of Russian books,
Which are of little intelligence value, but G-2, FEC feels that they may
be of value as teaching materials in language schools. ?
Type "C" documents include those which have no intelligence value.
These documents are disposed of in the theater in accordance with Field
Manual 30-15, unless otherwise instructed by 0-2, DA.
2. Documents captured in the Korean operations are recieved by
ATIS from ADVATIS (Advanced Echelon, ATIS). When documents come into
ATIS, the Trans-scan Subsection of the Translation Section screen them
for tactical and strategic information not exploited by field units. The
Trans-scan Subsection also classifies the documents into Type "As" Type
"B2" and Type "C." Those selected for exploitation are sent to the Cap-
tured Documents Subsection for translation.
ATIS publishes the following reports based on captured documents
and interrogations
a. .Bulletin, Enemy Documents Korean Operations represents pre-
liminary exploitation of documents considered to contain information of
tactical and strategic value. It covers-principally extracts, Summaries,
and full translations of short articles of cuirent intelligence interest
and lists the tables of contents of lengthy documents information of stra-
tegic or other Value higher than theater with the notation that these docu-
ments will be translated. upon request from. FEC agencies or 0-2, DA. The
Bulletin also serves as an accession list of Type "A" documents captured
in the Korean operations.
The Bulletin has been published since 18 June 1951. It re-
places Part II of ATIS Enemy Documents, Korean Operations. By issuing the
the Bulletin, it is possible to disseminate the information exploited from
captured enemy documents more expeditiously.
b. Supplement, Enemy Documents, Korean Operations contains a
full translation of a document listed in the Bulletin as TIE (translated
if requested) when requested by DA or a FEC agency.
c. Enemy Documents, Korean Operations contains full translations
of enemy documents either to satisfy requests by user agencies or to ex-
ploit intelligence considered. by ATIS to be of tactical and strategic value.
Enemy Documents, Korean Operations is the continuation of
Part I of Enemy Documents, Korean Operations issued before 18 June 1951.

are consolidated and edited by ATIS.
e. Interrogation Reports, KG - ADVATIS contains rear-line in-
terrogations conducted by ADVATIS.
Interrogation Reports, KT - Tactical and Interrogation Re-
ports, - KG - ADVATIS supersede InterrOgation Reports, Korean Operations.
The interrogation reports are divided into two categories to expedite dis-
semination of information obtained from prisoners of war.
Notes on ATIS Organization
For information, a brief description of the working level of AS is
presented below:
1. The Translation Section is divided into the following subsections:
a. Trans-scan Subsection which scans and translates documents
received by ATIS. The subsection is divided into several teams of approxi-
mately 10 men per team. It also has a technical team. The principal lan-
guage used is Japanese. It also checks and prepares for publication trans-
lations completed by the Captured Documents Subsection.
b. Letters Subsection translates letters written by the Japa-
nese to SCAP and sends the translations to G-2, FEC., The manuscripts are
sent to the Civil Intelligence Division (CI Div) for letter analysis.
c. Geographic Subsection services primarily the Geographic
Branch, Theater Intelligence Division, G-2. The major effort is basic
topographical studies. The Geographic Branch exploits the information
from the rough-draft translations. Although the Geographic Subsection
translations are not published by ATIS, some are produced in carbon copies
for limited distribution.
d. Captured Documents Subsection translates captured documents
from the Korean operations. The principal languages are Korean, Chinese,
and Russian. Most of the personnel employed in this subsection are Korean
and Chinese nationals. Originally the modus operandi was to translate
Korean and Chinese into Japanese and then into English, but recently the
translations are made directly into English and checked by US personnel.
The Russian-language documents are handled by a Russian section composed
of approximately 20 Russian linguists.

S-E-C-R-E-T
e. The Press Translation Section translates the Japanese news-
papers for Summary of Press (formerly called Press Analysis), published
daily by ATIS. The translators are Japanese nationals. After US editors
prepare the Summary of Press, which is n14-page mimeographed report, the
manuscripts are forwarded to the Civil Intelligence Division for exploita-
tion in the preparation of the civil intelligence (Japan) chapter of the
FEC Intelligence Summary Therefore, information from the Japanese press
is normally limited to that which appears in the Summary of Press. (Prob-
ably for this reason the Diplomatic Section, SCAP, has initiated its own
translations of the Japanese press. TIS has stated that it does not coor-
dinate its exploitation of the Japanese press with the Diplomatic Section.)
2. Research and Information Section is responsible for the filing
of ATIS translations and for the preparation of research reports from the
translations and interrogation reports when requested by G-2. It also
performs a reference service for translators.
3. Documents Section is responsiblefor the maintenance of records
of documents on loan and shipped to the Zone of Interior, the preparation
of shipping advices, and the procurement of documents for use by FEC
agencies.
4. CentralInterrogation Center is responsible for the interrogation
of former Japanese prisoners of war and civilians repatriated from Soviet
and Chinese Communist areas. The Center does not interrogate prisoners
captured in the Korean operations.

FDD-TIS Liaison
1. The coordination of IAC exploitation of Far Eastern foreign lan-
guage documents was discussed with TIS representatives. The meeting was
attended-by Lt Col Fred E. Van Tassel, Maj Anthony Barkovich, and Maj Donn
H. Wagner of Operations, and Mr. John Shelton of the Translation Section.
The fact that FDD, CIA, maintains a central record and publishes monthly
the Consolidated Translation Survey of foreign documents exploited by the
translation activities of IAC agencies was explained in detail. TIS ex-
pressed its desire to cooperate in the joint effort to prevent duplication.
2. TIS stated that it receives a copy of the Consolidated Translation
Survey but cannot retain the report for its own files. At TIS's request,
CIA has agreed to send three copies of the Survey to FEC marked Attention:
CO, TIS.
3. To prevent duplications in translations, TIS has agreed to:
a. Refer to the Consolidated Translation Survey to determine
whether the project has been initiated or completed by another agency in
the Zone of Interior.
b. Send a cable to FDD describing any foreign language document
contemplated by TIS for translation which already may have been done or is
in the process of translation. In the cable, TIS will include: TIS docu-
ment number, title of document in the foreign language, title in English,
author, security classification, date of information, and date of publica-
tion.
c. Transmit on a monthly basis direct to CIA, attention FDD, a
bibliographical description of any TIS translations initiated or completed
during the reporting period which will not be included in ATIS Bulletin,
Enemy Documents, Korean Operationt, Sul,...a.;ELnentEneiLL_mentsKorean
Operations, or Enemy Documattl_EmsallmIV.aat.
1I. TIS has agreed to the principle of transmitting on a continuing
basis of one copy of all ATIS published reports direct to CIA, attention
FDD) but requires the approval of G-2, DA to make an exception to current
Department of the Army directive on distribution of G-2, PEC reports. CO,
TIS has expressed his cooperation to seek DA's approval for the direct
transmittal of reports to FDD.
5. In reference to FDD's request that TIS designate personnel author-
ized to exchange cables with FDD, TIS suggested that cables be addressed to
CO, TIS because there is no delay in routing cables to interested parties
within ATIS.

6. As for the direct FDD-TIS liaison by cable, TIS desires to have
this type of direct communication limited to exchanging, of information
specifiaally to prevent duplication in translations and to clarify prob-
lems involved in .translation procedures. Other matters affecting policy
should be communicated via established G-2 channels.
Current Serial Publications
1, Japanese Publications
Over ninety (90) catalogs of books and serial publications, cover-
ing the entire Japanese publication effort for 1950- - 1951, have been col-
lected. A directory of publishers, booksellers, and secondhand book dealers
in Japan was also obtained. The directory lists the name of the store', ad-
dress, and types of books handled and also lists members of book dealers'
associations through which any publication required by CIA can be traced
and acquired.
An arrangement has been made with the Document Section, ATIS, to
forward to FDD all new catalogs, announcements of forthcoming publications,
and accession lists of university libraries in the Tokyo area and the Na-
tional Diet Library System. This agreement will continue until changes oc-
cur in the FEC organization.
An arrangement has also been made with Mrs. M. Yamamoto, Librarian,
Diplomatic Section, SCAP, to forward to IAD, Department of State, all cata-
logs of new publications beginning in 1952. To facilitate this program,
major bookstores were requested to send their catalogs to the Librarian,
Diplomatic Section, for forwarding to Washington.
2. Chinese Publications

Procurement of Chinese Newspapers Through TIS
50X1
1. During the course of negotiations with ATIS, it was discovered
that ATIS obtains and exploits Chinese Communist newspapers from Shanghai
and Hong Kong. The exploitation is done by three former Japanese General
Staff officers. The translations are sent directly to the Theater Intelli-
gence Division, G-2, FEC. The following newspapers are exploited: Ta Kung
Pao (Hong Kong), Ta Kung Pao (Shanghai), Kung Shang Jih-pao (Hong Kong),
Jen-min Jih- ao (Pei-p'ing), Hsin-wen Tien-ti (Hong Kong), and Tzu-yu Ch'en-
hsien Hong Kong).
Lt Col Verner C. Aurell, TIS, stated that the above publications
could be shipped to FDD on a continuous basis.
2. TIS was approached unofficially as to whether it can obtain cer-
tain other Communist newspapers for FDD through its established channels.
TIS has agreed to procure the following newspapers for FDD, without cost
to the Agency: Harbin Ku -pao (Harbin), Dairen Jen-min Jih-pao (Dairen),

Procurement of Lists of Books on the Far East in Various Libraries
-1. The Chief of the General Affairs Bureau, National Diet Library,
was approached informally to determine whether a list of the library's
holdings of books on China and Southeast Asia is available. He stated
that the Library has not compiled such a list, but if the Occupation makes
a formal request the Library will undertake the task. The list will in-
clude the collections of the branch libraries. He has estimated that it
will take three months to complete the project.
2. To present a formal request to the Japanese government to take ac-
tion on this project, the Team prepared a letter to Chief, Far East Command/
Liaison Group, G-2. It is the understanding of the Team that the request has
been served on the Japanese Government.
3. Lists of books on Korea have been obtained from the following li-
braries: Foreign Ministry, National Diet Library (including branches at
Ueno and Akasaka), the Society for International Cultural Relations (Kokusai
Bunka Shinko Kai), the Tokyo University, and the Political and Economic Re-
search Institute (formerly the East Asia Research Institute). The lists are
on file in FDD.

Notes on Disposition of SCAP Records
1. A Committee for the disposition of SCAP records had been formed
to assist the Adjutant General, SCAP, FEC, in the formulation of policies
and procedures for records administration.
2. To protect CIA interest in SCAP files, particularly ESS files,
the Team sought the cooperation of the chairman, Miss Muriel Weins of the
Diplomatic Section, SCAP. She has promised full cooperation with the CIA
microfilm project of ESS files.
3. During the course of conversation with Miss Weins, the subject of
microfilming equipment was raised. Miss Weins stated that there were three
portable microfilming sets idle at the Diplomatic Section. These belong
to the Library of Congress and were used by Mr. Glen Shaw of the Department
of State to microfilm Japanese Foreign Ministry records. She also mentioned
that there were ten Japanese microfilm technicians, trained by Mr Shaw,
available in the Diplomatic Section.
4. Mr Bart V0.. Washburn, Executive Officer of the Diplomatic Section
has granted permission to CIA to use the microfilm equipment from 1 Novem-
ber 1951 to 1 February 1952. Approval for use beyond this date will have
to be obtained from Mr. Sidney Buford III, Chief of the Office of Libraries
and Intelligence Acquisition, Department of State.
Recommendations
1. To facilitate the effort of TIS to obtain the approval of the De-
partment of the Army for direct transmission of TIS reports to FM, it is
recommended that CIA also approach G-2, Department of the Army, to determine
whether an exception could be made to current directives that all FEC re-
ports should be distributed in the Zone of Interior by G-2, DA, Although
TIS agrees in principle to the request made by the FDD Team, the Chief of
the Military Intelligence Service Division, who is the immediate superior
of TIS, feels that an exception made for CIA will pave a way for othcr agen-
cies to seek similar relief. TIS feels that it will not be a contravention
of current directive if TIS were to mark TIS reports with Attention: FDD?
CIA to expedite delivery upon arrival in Washington. Until the situation
is clarified, TIS may use this technique, although no commitment has been
made on the plan.
2. In view of the large numbers of documents containing information
of basiC intelligence in the Washington area, FDD should take more positive
steps to develop a program of exploitation for basic intelligence. A common
question among officials in FEC was "What is being done to the documents

sent to Washington?" The Team has assured them that the documents were
being screened and cataloged and that they were not merely stored in ware-
houses without being exploited.
3. It is recommended that FDD screen shipping advices and lists of
captured World War II documents still held in FEC obtained by the Team to
determine what documents are of interest to CIA, State Department, and AEC.
It is the opinion of the Team that the holdings of the Geographic Branch,
Theater Intelligence, G-2, FEC, containing topographical studies are of
interest to CIA and other agencies. Since these documents,are charged out
to the Geographic Branch on indefinite loan, the Team was unable to select
them for forwarding to Washington. CIA should, through G-2, Department of
the Army, request TIS, through G-2, Far East Command, to request return of
these documents, with manuscripts of translations, for forwarding to the
Zone of Interior. This procedure is also applicable for documents held by
other FEC agencies.
4. It has been long recognized by intelligence agencies that foreign
publications constitute one of the most important and productive sources of
information for the production of intelligence. This importance of foreign
publications increases as the stringent security measures are adopted by
USSR and her Satellite countries to prevent leakage of information to the
Western countries. Recent survey of the availability of Chinese Communist
publications in Japan has demonstrated that these publications are obtain-
able in fairly large quantities in Tokyo. It has also demonstrated that
Eastern USSR publications are available in small quantity, though the dates
of issue of these publications are somewhat old. A concentrated effort for
the procurement of these publications undoubtedly will produce satisfactory
results. It is therefore recommended that to exploit tfiis opportunity fur-
ther a FDD Document Procurement Office be established in Japan.
5. Lt Col J. White, Commanding Officer, 6004th AISS, FEAF, has stated
to the FDD Documents Survey Team that Chinese Communist. and Soviet newspapers
after being exploited locally for items of Air interests could be shipped to
FDD for further exploitation, if the AISS is served with such a request.
It is therefore recommended that a formal request for the shipment
of Chinese Communist and Soviet newspapers to FDD be made to the Directorate
of Intelligence, FEAF.
Acknowledgment
The DocumentS Survey Team, Foreign Documents Division, desires to ex-
press its appreciation and gratitude to G-2, Far East Command; Translator and
Interpreter Service, Far East Command; and SCAP sections for their kind assis-
tance and cooperation without which the mission of the Team would have been
difficult to accomplish.
