10. The Cartograreley Division is likely to face a serious las pro-
duction problem in the remainder of FY 2957, judging from the degree
to which RIS contributors are presently behind schedule. e Concerted
efforts to produce great hembers of Sections in the latter Tart of the
fiecal year usually causes an intolerable jam of last-minute reeemsts
for cartograehic support. Such moo as are 'requested after 15 NIsce will
necessitate serious de/4y of hi -priority non-RIO work if they are to
be completed within FY 1957.
. 11. The Photo Intelligence Division initiated several adminiatrative
changes during the meuth aimed at facilitating program devolvement and
efficiency. Included is 4 weekly substantive meeting, open to all personnel,
at which problems and research opportunities of common interest are discussed.

to providing research support to the Cartography Division on three major
mapping projeotes The bonndary map on Latin America, the oil taps to :lee
company Project 1470, and the Latin American railroad maps that are being
changed to conform with suggestions received from the field. In addition,
work progressed on the CIA contribution to the Chapter IX of NIS 90 Argen-

support was concentrated related to the MSC roView of

sentation of a paper before the Guided Missiles Intelligence
Conference. Other activity included a contribution on an area analysis, e
joint project with nG/S, a trip to review an 25X1A5a1
electronic positioning device, and a comparative US-USSR area analysis for
an "Open Skies" problem.
Coordination Staff; Considerable time was spent on oorrectione to the
ChaptTNIS l2, Finland, Which was serato OBI in Mardh. The late
ditto review Was necessary because of lack of a person to work. on the.
Chapter coordination in the earlier stage. The Chapter IX, NIS 272 Turkey,
due at OBI in, April, will not be forwarded before June. Several factors
have contributed to the delay; The MIS-MOB contribution was not received
until 28 February, 4 months late; the problem of security classification had
be resolved between OBI and the Amer; lack of a coordinator. The initial
coordination of Chapter IX for NIS 4101, South Korea, has been complet

a. A country by country feasibility evaluation for the several
types of areas -- escape and evasion, guerrilla warfare, subversion --
will be made by the Geography Division. A memorandum, dated 2 April
1957, prepared by an informal working group composed of representatives
of the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force, set forth the criteria for
area selection that are applicable to both unconventional warfare
multi?purpose base areas and evasion and escape r fuge areas.

t4ime IV. PROBLEM AND RECOMENDATIONS
Far East Branch: The preseure of work on the high priority project on
veserSen 3 rq,^Den,
Indonesia and the lose of full-time clerical assistance resulting from the
25X1A5a1 departure of underline the chief problem of the Branch -- the
need for a full-time Intelligence Alaistant and at least one more geographer.
The Indonesia job has necessitated coneentrated research effort by three
membere of the Branch, with concurrent slighting of their normal research
and administrative duties. The lack of full time Iutelligence Assistant
help necessitates the porfornutrico of many routine chores by higher-talaried
professionals or the "scrounging of clerical assistance from other parte of
the Division -- in itself a time-consumieg procedure.
Near_East/Africa Branch : A major development in the area is the emergence
of a great power vacuum inVrench Black Africa. Full independence for all
French Black Africa is considered inevitable by our hebansy in Paris; French
officials estimate that French Equatorial and French West Africa will achieve
complete political independence in from 2 to 7 years. The Soviets are moving
rapidly into this vaceert: and there are strong leasens for believing they are
Interested in the strategic mineral field.
The IAC Estimatee program for the third quarter of calendar 1957 in-
cludes Sudan, France (including Algeria), EWA, Ghana, and French Tropical
Africa. There is need for a firm ORR policy for gathering and processing
geographic information from the field and producing significant studies
before the area gets so hot as to preclude the collecting of first-hand
%we knedledge.
*USAF *
USSR Branch,: It apTears that in recent years the US Air Force has com-
pleteleerlvilieqi the system of numbering and filing World War II Gem n n
aerial photography in e WWWW2 that creates a number of serious difficulties.
An order for photo coverage brought a shipment without a single print
covering the area designated. Sore prints were as much as 50 miles off
old "urban" rTarbann reports and ANS maps careailed with the aid of aerial photography
definitely established almott complete photo coverage for the area. A second
shipment was finally obtained that did contain some of the necessary coverage.
The incident raises the question of how each coverage has been lost or
mieplaced in revising the system of numbering. Another criticism cei! the new
system is that in many instances the new AF numbers have been superimposed,
thus completely obliterating the original German identifying symbols parts
of mhich indicated such essential bits of information as the dates that
the photos were taken.
Coordination Staff,: The Staff preeently consists of two people, the
Chief and the
