Donovan Director, Office of Strategic Services Washington, D.C. Dear ()moral Donovan: This letter should have been written long ago, but has been delayed because of pressure of more irmediate work. It is by way of being a bouquet of orchids for Captain Duncan Les. Captain Lee and I had the misfortune of having to bail out of a crippled airplane on August second over the mountains on the Burma-India border. Captain Lee's conduct throughout this crisis and during the several weeks which followed, While we were in the jungle and making our way out, was entirely exemplary. Although this was Captain Lee's first venture into the field, he showed a maturity of judgment, a sense of responsibility and a willingness to take the initiative Whenever necessary. He was appointed Commandant of our small camp, and performed his duti6s efficiently and cheerfully. On the march out to civilisation Captain Les was of inestimable value in *sainting Colonel Plickengerp Who headed our party, in Organization and administration of camps and other details of the march. In short, I wish to compliment 0.3.8. on its good fortune in having on its staff an officer of proved superior qualities. ','???

TO Richard Hartshorne FROM Walter Levy INTEROFFICE MEMO DATE, 27 April 1945 swum Request for my Participation in the US Strategic Bombing Survey. The Washington Office of the US Strategic Bombing Survey (Wiss Blake, War Departwent, Extension 71210) called me yesterday to inform me that they had received a oable from London asking whether I would be able to assist them in their survey. A paraphrase of the cable reads as follows: "Contact OSS to release Walter Levy and assist for not more than one month at advanced headquarters in capacity of full-time consultant boginningimmediately for the Ministry Group. At this critical time his extensive background can be brought to bear on date. procured, which are required by OSS, FRA, and the Survey and which should put the work on a sounder basis. His assistance is required to advise on interpretation of production records of captured industry and to establish methods of interrogation." As arranged with you, I suggest that I will discuss this matter with Bob Russell when I am in London. I am doubtful whether I can fit in the work for the Survey with my responsibilities as the FEA representative in the Anglo-American world program discussions on petroleum. In any case, the final decision will probably be up to our London-OSS Office. I suggest that a copy of this memorandum be aent to Mr. Cheston. 1/Ltojo cot Lt. Applebaum Lt.

We would like to have the services of this man for use in Major Little' North Pacific Plan. 2. Lt. Lee is American by birth but is the son of a British father and an American mother. He joined the British Navy as an ordinary seaman prior to our entry into the war and has come up through the ranks to a full lieutenancy. 3. He is at present standing by awaiting the completion in this Country of a new destroyer to which :Ds has been assigned. 4. He has been interviewed by Major Little, David Winton and I, and is an excellent man for iviork on the Worth Pacific Plan. 5. Lt. Lee has often been in actual command of !I destroy- ix. His is an expert navigator and, beginning it as a hobby in this Country, has attained the third uogree of Judo and WRS a member of the Black Bel society. While he has never been in the Far East, he has instructed Japanese in the art of Judo in this Country and F:nows now to heindle them at all times. 6. Lt. Lee would be useful in training Japanese per onnel for tn., North Pacific Plan and at tat completion of training would be the best men we have yet discovered to take command of one of the vessels, both from the standpoint of his abilities at seamanship and his mastery of an important phase of Japanese life. 7. I have prepared for your signature a memorandum to Captain Davis, approving the request for the loan of Lt. Lee to OBS which Captain Davis would like to have before he proceeds. It is my understanding that Captain Dav4s y feel that Lt. Lee does not have enough qualifications to wr. t our requesting his loan from the British but we have di s aim here in VO and feel that he is exactly the type of an N't can be used in many of OUT Far Nast4 plans.

Lee, has reported for duty with the Office of Strategic Services, and we have had preliminary conversations with him with rtforence to his duties for us. As a result of those conversations, it has become apparent that the duties wt.,:ch we contemplate for Lieutenant Lee may be better performed if he is pro- moted to the rank of Lieutenant Commander. He will be required to assoolate and work with high ranking officers of the Allied Services on matters of a confidential nature. I therefore have the honor to submit to you my request and recommendation thnt Lieutenant Lee be granted promotion to the rank of Lieutenant Commander. Your early attention to this request will be of aid to us, since the plans ilhteh vi have for Lieutenant Lee are moving forward rapidly, I understand that he is due for promotion uneer your accelerated promotion for Royal *aval Volunteer Reserve officers, having attained the ago of 10 and having served over two years in destroyers on active duty as a Lieutenant.

In connection with the requested promotion for Lt. Derek Loop lava, I think that we should arrange with the Srim *40 Admilulty to pay Lt. Lee as long as he is conneated with 011. The proper rate of pay it seems to us would be the equivalent rate of pay which he would receive were he In the Vatted States Navy. Such payments, of course, should be made from Unvouehered Funds. 2. Lt. Lee will be employed by us here in Washington in oonmoction with planning certain amphibious operations in the S2A00 We eventually plan to use him on one of our overseas missions. 3. In view of the low rate of pay of British Naval Officers, it would be an mins hardship upon Lt. Lee were he to remain on the payroll of the 3rit1sh Admiralty and some step should be taken to compensate for this disparity in view of his assignment in Washa. ington and ?verso's. Should the British Admiralty fool that it should ?continue to pay him base rate of British pay, we request authorisation to pay from Unvouchered Funds the balance which 'would put him on it par with United States Naval Officers.

C. 20th July, 1945. A query from Ceylon has brought to my notice that Lieutenant Commander D.A. Lee, R.N.V.R., is at present on duty in that area. I note that records of correspondence between yourself and Vice Admiral French in December, 1943, show that this officer was attached to the Office of Strategic Services from 4th January, 1944, for a period of 6-.12 months; since that date, this office has had no information of his movements. In order that certain administrative matters may be settled in the light of this information of his nresent whereabouts, I should be grateful if you would inform me whether Lieutenant Commander Lee is still em- ployed by the Office of Strategic Services and of the date on which he left the continental U.S.A.

We have found that the only reason for this type of oonfesion is that the people involved, although past masters in their own work, aro not familiar with reproduction problems - especially when it ocnest*e field work. The more we know about the problems in the field, the more usefull we can be in answering them. In connection with the 068 Oxford Photographic Laboratory, our Washington photographic laboratories have the job of enlarging and printing all the photographa filmed at Word, which amounts to many thousands of prints a month. Thin work is in connection with the Pictorial Records Project and is of high importance to the war effort. The Oxford laboratory has excellent equipment and about (debt employees, and yet it seems to me, there seems to be some bottleneck somewhere in getting the work to us. I think it very important, for our aako, as well as R til A's, to investigate this situation. It is therefore requested that I be given permission to go to London as soon as possible to get all the above matters olearad up before the big push, when overything will be ehaotio and when operations should be in full swing, and not bogged down. 4 ' L 4 1 4' '1' ?

The matter of selestion of the proper alpaca, utilities, the ?holm) of equtpment and its layout will be more ropitition of what I was faced with in setting up the 0-2 Reproduction Section and the 0$8 Reproduotion plant. Little matters like dampness, warehouse space, overloading drains, different electrical current characteristics, warm water can OAU40 headaohes later on that might lead to breakdown of operations when same are critically needed. From my conception of the work involved in London, no time will be allowed for experimenting or breakdowns; the plant will have to be set-up fast and set-up right. In the matter of field reproduction problems, we have been keenly interested And have worked hard to answer the needs of the field. We hove developed over a dosen ittms and processoo for use of the field, the more important of 'which aro the X Press and the spy,camora. We have sot-up * Training Section in this Branch with a staff of four teohnicians whose duties are to train outgoing personnel, mostly Agents, in the use of cameras and the various duplicating processes, test all new devices, and do roaearch work on various field problems. The London off toe undoubtedly will have to set up a similar program As W. will be sending X Presses, spy cameras, and portable photostats and other gadgets in rather largo quantities to RTO. On the other hand, we need first hand information In the needs and problems overseas in order to cope with the situation.
