One point of which he was not aware is the fact that all of the 25X1A group will be Republicans, had neglected to inform him of that sli bt detail. 25X1A 4. jrSlis Communist Strateey Seminar The running of FSI's Communist Strategy seminar just completed, John Keppel, course director, still had a large proportion of CIA partici- pants all from OTR. Eight presentations were made by SIC staff, and added another. Keppel, however, is aware of the disproportion and C SIC is sure will remedy this situation before the next requests come along.

JOT O;entation An analysis of the January JPOT group reveals that they made a slightly better average rating their first examination than the most recent comparable group of July 1964. The results ahowed no signifi- cant difference in scores between the large number of "int* " and the "eztarnals" (Agency newcomers) in the class. Our staff opinion, based on only one week's experience with the class, is that titers may be a good number of potentially outstanding individuals in this group. Seven received an "Outstanding" rating, and 33 a "Strong" rating on the test. !ICC? d by of the Office erred last weak in and regard to a contract with LDA.

I aril usually treated well in all of the military posts which I visit; in this case, the Army really outdid itself, Last year I had a Captain as an escort officer; this year I was met by an "honor guard"--a Lt. Colonel, a Major, and a couple of enlisted men who bowed and scraped their way through my whole visit, I was mystified but asked no questions and enjoyed. for 24 hours, the luxury of being a VIP. I had lunch -with the Commanding General of the post and also Major General HurIbit, the 0-4 of the Area Command under which rt. ICELOX cornets, and Brigadier General Murdoch, who is in charge of the Armor School, and other assorted Colonels from Ft. ICncet. We had a very pleasant time. In the afternoon before I left, my escort officer and I had a little libation shall we say, on company time in my rather magnificent quarters. The mystery of my treatment WS eleated up when he asked me, with great deference, how it was that a MLR as young as could achieve the position of a GS-19, which was, after all the rank of a Lt. General. I assured him that while I was not complaining about my salary, I was not a 0549. (To myself I thought that I had never even heard of such an animal.) And then he made a remark which I shall cherish for a long time as the nicest compliment Approved For Release 2000/08/04 : CIA- 96A000400020049-3 25X1C 25X1A 25X1A Approved For Release 2000/08/0 has been said.

I briefed attew group of Junior Foreign cc Officers . those Just coming into the State Deartxnent. This group made up only of FS officers; no USIA people were involved. This is always a fine audience to talk to and we had a most interesting morally. They asked numerous questions. I find that the questions about the CIA, from the military and particularly from the FS people are growing less and less hostile all the time. Very rarely, th.ese days, do I find any questioning implying a negative attitude. Very few questiozza are based upon the reading of "The Divisible Government" or other negative sources of information. 14. curred during the reporting period aitd wUl a ep.cisi report.

Dialed in Tandem The combination must be dialed in tandem. Goldfinger blew it up in his filmed foray. Still, mystery enshrouds the four tor trailer loads of bu that left Ft.

But New York is only a few hours by cargo .jet to Switzerland, the home of the Auric Industries plant (discovered by Bond) from which Goldfinger schemed to corner the world's gold market. : CIA-RDP78-06096A000400020049-3 Approve CPYRGHT Approv And so wnen we left our narrative, portly Auric Gold- finger had been sucked out of the bullet-shattered port- hole of the disabled Jetstar in which Agent James Bond (007) and fainting Pussy Ga- lcre were streaking toward certain death. Bond and Miss Galore, you will remember, were somehow thrown to safety from the plunging aircraft. But whatever ''happened to greedy Goldfinger and his evil designs on the United States gold supply at Ft. Knox? It had been presumed that he is dead. 4But consider now this curious chain of events that began to unfold Wednesday at Ft. Knox? events about which the U.S. Treasury Department re- mains chillingly mum. Four tractor trailer trucks rumbled out of the Nation's gold dcspository on Wednes- day morning toward what the Associated Press de- scribed as an "undisclosed destination." An anonymous police of- ficial (who may also be the thief local crowd-estimator) estimated that the cargo was worth $132 million. More shipments, he hinted, would follow soon, The gold convoy rolled nonstop to Louisville and was last reported to be head- ing east out of Jefferson- ville, Ind., according to the Associated Press. There the trail vanishes. Victor If. Harkin, custodi- an of the big vault, would neither, confirm nor deny the AP sighting. He re- ferred callers to his superi- ors in Washington.
