The 24 September 1966 issue of Magyar Ifjusag, Budapest, page 3,
publishes the third installment of a series by Gyorgy Onody on CIA
activities in the "third world." The installment begins with a reference
to 10 CIA agents allegedly arrested in the North Celebes a week before
the "appearance on the scene" of Lt'.:Col. Untung. Although information
on them is lacking, the article continues, this was not the first CIA
action in Indonesia. The article then discusses the Sumatra rebellion
and the trial of B-26 pilot Allan Poup [sic], "CIA agent." The article
says that Poup contacted the CIA in Saigon and flew a mission for the
CIA from Clark Field in the Phillipines. The book by Wise and Ross on
the CIA is quoted to the effect that President Kennedy admitted to a
friend that the CIA had tried to overthrow Sukarno.
The 1 October issue of the same source publishes installment No 4
on page 6. This installment begins by stating that Pierre Salinger asked
Couve de Murville directly if he had proof that the CIA was involved in
the Algerian conspiracy of the French generals. The history of the French
OAS episode is then given and the Rome paper Paese is quoted regarding CIA
involvement. The article claims that Richard D. Bissel, "chief of the CIA
onera.tional directorate," met with Jacques Soustelle on 7 December 1960.
The French paper Express is quoted to thc;.effect that American agents
promised support to General Challe if he could carry out his coup within
48 hours. If the generals had succeeded, the article concludes, France
could have been saved for NATO and the "monopolists standing behind the
CIA" could have protected their interests in Algerian oil.
