OPERATIONS
il. The Head, BBC Monitoring Service, has advised that Increased
operations cost and the failure of the British Government to increase
the budgetary allotment for the monitoring service has necessitated
a re,anination of certain aspects of the reciprocal arrangements,
to include Cable and Wireless service from Cyprus to London, The Ap/o
approved a latter to BBC expressing the seriousness with which FB1D
yoUld regard any curtailment of monitoring activities, and the belief
that an examination of communications facilities would clearly dem
onetrate that the Bap was receiving a great deal more communications
service than the expenditure of Al 25'000 per annum would buy under
a4), other Circumstances.
12, After investigating various means by Which the Mediterranean
Field Bureau can provide monitoring support to OPC activities in
Athens and Cairo, it appears that the most suitable method would be
for the Office of Oaraunications and OPO to make funds available
to FBID for contraetual arrangements with Cables and Wireless, Ltd.
for either point-to.point transmission or blind broadcasting of
materiel of special interest to those activities, Investigations
are continuing,

Notes for the Monthly Progress Report
March 1952
31 March 1952
Cyprus Schooling
1. The problem of whether or not the Agency will bear the ex-
pense for the education of dependent children at the Mediterranean
Bureau has been resolved. It has been determined that theAAgency
will not bear this expense but 11111 give assistance in the way of
providing transportation to and from Nicosia.
2. A transfer of allotment of funds has been flaked to provide
for the purchase of a bus during the current fiscal year so that
it will be available at the beginning of the new school term in the
fall. The purchase of this bus was budgeted for the Fiscal Year 1953
but because of the need for the bus early in Fiecal Year 1953 the
!Budget Division of the Comptroller's Office has approved transfer of
allotment in the amount of $5,000 for the purchase of the bus now.
An order has been placed and the funds obligated.
Cost of Living on Okinawa
3. It was called to the attention of the Chief, MIDI that
Okinawa Bureau employees since the activation of the Bureau had
been paying a 10% service charge for all commicsary purchases, and
as of the beginning of 1952 were charged an additional 4% for such
purchases. In additiop to this, Okinawa Bureau employees were
charged a $13.25 per day hospital rate while dependents of Army
and Air Force personnel were charged only a $5.00 per day fee.
4. A memo has been prepared for the Deputy Director for Admini-
stration in an attempt to obtain relief from the 10% service charge
and the hoepital rate. :Magee the lately enforced surcharge of 4%
epplien to all commissary purchases and is universally applicable,
no relief was sought.
London Station Wagon
5. A station wagon has been requisitioned for the FBIS London
Bureau. Mile this vehicle was budgeted for 1953, a transfer of
allotment was approved by the Budget Division to provide for making
the vehicle available in the third quarter.

chiefs were approved early in March. The schedule of Vacations hes
been staggered so that generally no two staff officers will he
away from duty eimultaneously.
8. The Administrative Office Ma becently completed the re-
organization of the administrative filea. A clearly defined subject
file is the system which has been adopted and generally follows the
same divisional pattern contained in the Agency regulations.
