TLO/OC, met with Colonel T. H. Shelby, Director
of the Department of Counterintelligence of the Army Intelli-

key instructors were also present, which served to expedite
matters. It was quickly found that Holabird does not have
the sought for training capability. The officers proposed to
establish a training course in the required techniques,
offered a single time, provided (a) that the necessary man-
power could be located at the Signal Training Center (for
Special Duty at Holabird), and (b) that the Agency can accept.
It was agreed that both parties would continue detailed work
in their respective home offices, and meet again in ten days
to concert a completely organized course. The cooperative
cordiality of the Holabird officers was noteworthy.

plished without embarrassment. The individual is presently
