Nothing to report.
11. OTHER ITEMS
a. Tice trial run of "Defense Against Communist Interrogation"
held on 29 April was not a success. Therefore., we have decided to
revise our approach by limiting our efforts, for the present, to
obtaining an interpretation of CIA's policy for personnel subject to
capture. Once this is donee, we feel that we shall be in a better
position to decide what further action should be taken. At the
29 April meeting a working coomittee was formed to assist the instructors.
The first meeting of this group has been set for 20 June.
b The tenth running of the War Planning course is scheduled to
commence on 13 May. There are eleven students enrolled. Although
efforts have been made to enroll students from the operational
components of DD/P, the enrollment for this running of the course
still follows the pattern of previous classes in that all students
represent planning staffs rather than operational branches.
This 10th course will be oVered in a different fashion
from heretofore. Although remaining a three-week course, the final
four days will be devoted to a war planning problem on which the
students will work as small committees. This has been made possible
by the elimination of the four-day orientation at the outset of the
course. Since war planners from WFD/PPC are now taking the OFC it is
no longer necessary to use four days in orientation.
c. The Foreign Service Officer Orientation has been set for
12 through 17 June 1957.

e. CE Operations No. 11. will meet on Monday, 13 May 1957?.
The CI Staff reports that there are awe 44 applicants for the
fifteen places in this course. The selection of students will be
made later this week.
Thera has been some demand that the Counterespionage
Operations Course continue during the summer. All such requests
have been referred to the Cl: Staff.. Despite representations by the
Divisions the Staff is not satisfied that competent officers can be
excused from their work to take training during the summer months when
so many others are absent on annual and military leave. The CI Staff
will attempt to get firm commitments from the Divisions and will then
notify the Office of Training of the number requiring CEO and whether
added runnings are justified.
f.. CE Operations No. 18 ended on 3 May 1957. It had the
maximum fifteen students representing four Aicea Divisions and the
Security Office. One student (0S-7) was admitted to the course
through administrative error. She will be considered an auditor,
and no evaluation will be prepared. This was a satisfactory group,
but their ability would be classified as lour-medium' ' They were
plodding rather than quick. A course report has been prepared.
