For his services in Africa he was given the Croix do Guerre and made an bemormry corporal in the French Reconnaissance Squadron with the right to wear the fourragire. I first saw Dewey in June, 1943 and asked for his transfer to OW for pc:nose of field operations. It was my feeling that while his French was net perfect enough to permit him to live under cover in France for extended periods, I felt that his services might be used for SO Intelligence or liaison purposes prior to D-Day and at D-1y in conjunction with French resistance greeps. / also felt that pending opportunities for such activities be could be used in our London office, either in connection with French matters or with Palish matter*. Dewey has a wide acquaintance among the French, having lived in France extonmiveloy and speaking good French and, as far as I know, is persona grata both with and De Gaulle. He is, moreover, through his father, long identified with the Foles and would be persona grata with the Polish Government in exile. 641 OITR0091 - 2013./69/04.1 C1ATRDP13).

He was dispatched overseas in November, 1943. Upon his arrival he was sent to the British Students' Aseeeweent !Ward which found him unsuitable. Their report reads: "A highly intelligent man with a fertile mind and, thougt academic, displayed good practical ability as well. ?laic* and observant but his judgment we. not always sound. Self- conscious and rather deferential in manner. He has a hii* opinion of himself and was at times resentful when his eon plans were balked. He was not popular in the group though he worked hard. He is by no means happy in his mind about going into the Field as a civilian. He had a severe head injury in 1937 in which be suffered 4 compound fracture of the skull, which has left a large bane defect. This renders hin unsuitable for parachuting. Me is in the U. S. Argy of low medical category as this apoeumt. It is not considered that he should be used." At the same tine van dor Stricht advised that he seemed lounissitodo not only for field work but also for work within the ?Mee, either in 30 Branch or apy other Branch". oweewerasumporkiewevx.w.oxiiiiewhiatti_ ;,,;av.4u=0,01:46--- C.N:4., - st0' t., I 4 ?. ...0.(0 ?

In the paragraphs below my itinerary and certain obser? vations are set forth chronologically by periods, spent in the various theaters. a. March 21 - March 28, nroute to Britain The journey to Great Britain was made aboard a very large British transport which sailed without escort. The voyage was completed without incident.

(2) Some general suggestions for improving ecnditiOns follow: (a) More careful selection or personnel and selection for specific jobs.
