Honorable William J. Casey
Director of Central Intelligence
Washington, D. C. 20505
Herewith is an article I wrote for the
American Legion, to appear this summer. I
think this is the odds of The Morning Line
of whatts likely to happen next in Iran. I
believe Iran is the payoff turf.
There is a considerable amount of British
intelligence stuff on the area. General Gubbins
and Colonel Ellis, who served there, gave some
blood-curdling accounts of the ferocity of the
action. Ellis wrote a small book on the subject
-- "Trans-Caspian Episode," which certainly
tends to prove the area is the "soft under-
belly" of Russia. He is at great pains to
prove that the British did not hang 24
Commissars; cloth he protest too much?
For your information, when it got very late,
the Shah consulted the AFL-CIO. They suggested
free trade unions for workers of the oil fields
to hold them against the Commies but it was
too late.
