READING IMPROVEMENT CLASSES
WILL SAVE SSTrJDENTS' TRAVEL TINE
Without decreasing the total number
of hours spent in the classroom, the
duration of the Reading Improvement
class scheduled to begin l' Anr
1957 will 'be shortened from 7 weeks
to 3 1/2 weeks; it will end o=L, jgyr
12Z.
As a trial, the course will be con-.
ducted in 18 two-hour sessions rather
than the 35 one-hour sessions usually
offered. This training intensifica-
tion will save each student who comes
by shuttle to Alcott Hall about 1.7
hours of the time now required to
attend the course.
Another Reading Improvement; Class
will begin 15 May 1957 and end 7
June. It will also consist of 18
two-hour sessions.
The :15 April and 15 May classes
will be retested two months after
the end of each course, and their
long-term skill improvement will be
compared with the improvement show n
by classes that completed the train-
ing on a 7.-week, one hour a day,
schedule.
Until the retest results for the
two experimental classes are ana-
lyzed, there will be no change af-
fecting the presently scheduled
17 June - 2 July 1957, seven-week,
class.
TAILORED COURSE FOR OO/CONTACTS
SCHEDULED FOR 7TH PRESENTATION
The seventh class of the 2L C RE-
FRESHER, course I-11 in your office
copy of the OTR Catalog began 4 Feb..
ruary. This course, for contact
specialists, exemplifies a type of
training tailored specifically tii
the needs of a requesting component.
The DO/C Refresher was organized
by OTR in 1955, at the request o:P
00/Contact Division to serve as their
internal training program. The ob.-
jective of the course, attended b:r
field personnel brought to Headqu ar.-
ters every two years for 10 days, in
to familiarize them with the current
organization and mission of the In..
telligence Communit and the rela..
tionship of the OO Contact Division
to them. Field personnel are
given an opportunity to meet with
users of their reports and to discuses
mutual problems in production and
collection requirements. A review
of the world situation is given by
OCI area specialists, and tours of
Headquarters installations are ar..
ranged.
All 00/C field personnel have at...
tended the course within the last;
two years, and the curriculum now it
being revised by 00/0 and Intelli-
gence School representatives on the
basis of 00/0 needs, critiques from
previous classes, and Field office
requirements.
The revised curriculum will include
a review of basic methodology, group
discussions of field collection prob..
lems led by specialists from Field
offices, and visits to Headquarters
branches with which contact special..
lets deal.

These special presentations are
oriented to problems unique to the
component requesting the instruction.
For instance, components of DD/I and
DD/S prepare dispatches going to
area divisions of DD/P. Format, and
other detail, must be in accord with
regulations not available to non
components; also, each area division
has developed variations peculiarly
characteristic of its field communi-
cation. Thus, the special cable re-
fresher training requested by the
Office of Logistics was geared to the
problems resulting from this general
situation.
As in the DD/P-requested class,
attended only by personnel of that
component, the Logistics class con-
centrated on "live" materials of in-
terest tothe secretary and stenogra-
pher. The purpose of these special
classes is to maintain a high effi-
ciency in respect to Agency communi-
cation - cable traffic - and con-
stantly to improve this level o f
service through periodic refresher
instruction.

IN 1956 CLERICAL ORIENTATION CLASSES
During 1956, approximately 25X9
new ale rj.cal employees attended Cleri-
cal Orientation, course B-10 in your
office copy of the OM Cataloz,. This
three-day course,given 50 weeks dur-
ing last year, averaged=students
per class. Largest number trained in
any one week: 50.
In this course, trainees who are
to be employed in typing or stenogra-
phic positions receive three days'
training; personnel entering cler k
positions are given two days' train-
ing. It is interesting to note that
in 1956 more than three times as many
individuals took the three-day course,
as the two-day.

NEW CURRENT EVENTS TEST DEVELOPED
S SSMENT AND EVALUATION STAFF/TR
The need for a means of appraising
a professional applicant's knowledge
of current affairs long has been re-
cognized in relation to many posi-
tions in the Agency. The rapidity
with which tests of this sort become
obsolete,thus far, has prevented the
development of tests in this area.
Now, the A&E Staff/TR has developed
for use in the Professional Appli-
cant Test Battery (PATB) a unique
test designed to measure an appl.i-
cant's knowledge and understanding
of current events on the national
and international scene. The items
are drawn from significant happenings
of the past year and a half. The con-
tent is balanced among the several
areas of the world and among politi-
cal, economic, military, and other
fields. The questions, each of which
is on a separate looseleaf page, are
constantly reviewed and replaced by
new items as they grow out of date
or as new significant events occur
in their area. Liberal use is made
of maps, political cartoons, graphs,
and quotations from speeches and edi-
torials in an effort to get at an in-
dication of the individual's under-
standing of broad problems and de-
velopments rather than memory for
recent headlines.
4'4s items accumulate over the years,
it will become possible to use them
in individual cases to appraise a
person's knowledge of what has hap-
pened in a given area over a sped,
fied period of time.
Further information regarding this
test can be obtained by calling the
Chief, Testing Services Branch, MeE
Staf#/TR, extension 2798.
NEXT INTELLIGENCE PRODUCTS EXHIBIT
SCHEDULED 14 FEBRUARY, THURSDAY
Members of the Agency are invited
to attend the Intelligence Products
Exhibit,scheduled to be shown in the
ludil orium of the Recreation and Ser-
vice Building on Thursday, 14 Febru-
ary, between 0930 and 1200 hours.
Designed primarily as an integral
part of Intelligence Orientation.,
course B-3 in your office copy of the
OTR Catalog, the exhibit has been
found to be of great interest and
significance to members of the Agency.
The exhibit is unique, in that it
presents in one room a comprehensive
view of the greater part of the in-
telligence activities of CIA.
It is believed that this test,
among those developed in support of
the activities of the Office of Per-
sonnel, will be a useful addition. to
the screening of applicants for a
wide variety of specific assignments.
The exhibits are held every month
during the year, August excepted,
For the first half of 1957, they are
scheduled for 14 March, 11 April.,
9 May, and 6 June.

S NEW FOREIGN LANGUAGE SEMINARS
AVAILABLE TO YOU - BEGIN EARLY MARCH
Eight new intermediate and advanced
Foreign Language Seminars will be
started during the week of 4 March
1957, providing there is a minimum
enrollment of four persons, in Chi-
nese, Japanese, Italian, German,
Russian, French, Swedish, Arabic.
These seminars are designed for
persons with intermediate or ad-
vanced fluency who desire an oppor-

trol-discussion led by native speak-
ers.
FIRST AMERICANS ABROAD COURSE
-GIVEN ON A REGIONAL BASIS-COMPLETED
The first Americans Abroad course
to be conducted on a regional, rather
than a country, basis was completed
in mid-January. In addition to the
Agency students enrolled, two depen-
dents of Agency personnel attended
this AMERICANS ABROAD - THE MIDDLE
EAST.
The regional approach originally
was chosen because of the practical
difficulties involved in scheduling
courses for each of the numerous
countries of the area. This treat-
ment proved successful.
Little or no class preparation is
required. Each seminar meets twice
a week for from one to two hours, as
arranged between the leader and the
group. Formal registration is not
required; no evaluation or attend-
ance reports are made.
If you are interested in attending
one of these seminars, you may dir-
ect your inquiry through extension
4437. Please, if possible, make your
reservation prior to 26 February.
Persons who thus arrange for attend-
ance in a seminar will be invited,by
1 March, to attend an organizational
meeting during'which the group will
plan their hours and place of meet-
ing,and determine the subject mater-
ials on which they desire to concen-
trate their seminar activity.
Throughout the course stress was
placed on those factors of life in
the Middle East which provide a com-
mon experience for those assigned to
5X1A
Religion, language, s0cta125X1 A
customs, as well as people, places,
and problems,were among the subjects
discussed by students with those who
knew the area as natives or had lived
there for some time. Problems pecul-
iar to the posts to which individual
students were assigned also were dis-
cussed in specific manner.

CHINA AND RUSSIA
25X1A9a
(a review by Assistant/Eastern Studies/TR)
In a penetrating analysis of Sino-Russian relations, "China and Russia",
in the June, 1956, issue of Atlantic V.bnthly, Edward Crankshaw quotes Sazonov,
Russian Foreign Minister in 1912, as answering a German appeal for aid in
strengthening China, with the comments "Russia . . cannot wish for the
strengthening of her neighbor; she could therefore view with equanimity the
collapse of modern China," What Sazonov was saying, and what Crankshaw makes
as a significant point in his article, is that neither Tsarist Russia nor
Soviet Russia has ever desired a strong independent national state on her long
eastern border. The pertinence of this idea and of its implications is fre-
quently overlooked today. N'atio:rial policy is the outgrowth of internal and
external pressures-the moves of a society toward adaptation to its social
and physical environment. Russiata Far Eastern policy long antedates the
October Revolution. The fact that both Russia and China are today communist
states, with a consequent political li:rikage, tends to blur the larger picture.
It is true that basic communist doctrine aims at communization of the
world, and it is also true that in the early years of the Revolution in Russia
communists the world over, aided and encouraged from Moscow, worked hard to
accomplish this aim. But as Len:l.nism changed to Stalinism, so Soviet foreign
policy was reshaped to embrace the concept, Russian as well as Soviet, of
Russian domination of Eurasia. World revolution was still a goal of the
Kremlin, but where heretofore the phrase did not necessarily imply Soviet dom-
jnation, Stalinist doctrine now admitted not even a pretense of national
equality with Russia on the ;part of any communist state.
Thus, Soviet policy was aimed more at destroying Chiang Kai-shek than at
aiding Mao Tse-tung. Paramountcy in Asia was the aim of Russia, both before
and after the Revolution. As Crankshaw points out, Mao's rapid success took
Stalin completely by surprise. The US31 had been planning and working for a
weak and ineffectual South China hemmed in on the west by Sinkiang, on the
north by Mongolia, North China and Manchuria, and on the east by North Korea,
all under the actual domination of Russia. But,, virtually unaided by Russia
until the end appeared inevitable, the Peoplets Republic of China was establish-
ed in 1949 and in the years that followed, Chinese dominance was extended from
Sinkiang to North Korea. Only in Outer Mongolia has Russia retained control.
China is in the way of becoming a power in Asia in its own ri ht. And
China has 600 million people (as opposed to the USSR's 220 million, growing at
the rate of 20 million a year (as opposed to .3 million annually in Russia).
China has an expanding econonW, has already shown she can stand up to Western
armies on an equal footing, and has strong national ambitions of her own. China,
is indeed communist, but neither a satellite nor a junior partner of Russia.

It is fully sovereign, fully independent. Its brand of communism, though
closely akin to Russian communism in theory, has been tailored to suit Chinese
aims and Chinese conditions. Pertinently, one may question whether any society,
in the long run, reshapes itself to suit the requirements of an ideology or
whether an ideology is remoulded in the course of time to meet local conditions.
What are China's aims? Is China more concerned with the propagation of
communism in Asia--international communism, Moscow brand, that is-or is it
rather concerned with rehabilitating itself as a viable society and a power in
Asia? To put it another way, is China dedicated to the Soviet cause, in which
the absolute dominance of Moscow is implicit, or is it determined to maintain
its own independence and to pursue its own course? Crankshaw suggests that
China's aims are Chinese and not Russian and that a position of subservience
to Moscow is, and will continue to be, abhorrent to Peking. Crankshaw also
suggests that Moscow is fully aware of this:
~~. Messrs. Bulganin and Khrushchev (have) their eyes on another-
place besides Washington or London: no other place than Peking.
Because in the eyes of the proud and jealous Chinese, the spiritual
leaders of the new Asia, how can the demonstrative appearance of
these pink-skinned Russians as patrons of the new India, of the new
Burma, bordering on China herself, be regarded as anything but a
challenge, a new manifestation of the southward-probing dynamic of
the old, old Russia? How can the new China, tearing hell for
leather into her own industrial revolution, needing urgently all
the machines and steel that the Soviet Union can spare, regard with
enthusiasm Moscow's lavish promises of these desiderata to countries
which have not had a revolution . . . . To imagine that everything
done in Moscow and Peking is concerned directly.with Washington or
London is not much more sensible than to believe that we have
offended the gods when our house is struck by lightning."
CPYRGHT
Mr. Crankshaw's article is of particular interest in the light of Chou
En-lai's current activities. China's protestations of unity with the USSR and
devotion to Moscow leadership are certainly intended for external consumption
and do not necessarily reflect the true state of affairs. One cannot but won-
der whether this "little brother" act was not put on in response to a frantic
appeal from Moscow for evidence of unity in the face of an obviously deterio-
rating situation. One also wonders what the quid pro quo is to be. It is not
likely that Peking did not obtain one.
Eastern Studies, Language and Area School/TH., in addition to numerous
Chinese and Russian language courses, this Spring and Summer is offering three
area courses covering East Asia and embracing much of the material discussed
in Grankshaw's article.

nationalities, both here and abroad, you will, be able to establish more
effective rapport and attain better results.
Summaries of the lectures, in English, will be provided in the
"Understanding and Dealing With Foreign People" talks, and also in a few

of these capabilities. All tests are administered on Wednesday.
