REF

Summary : Dr. Schneider, ODEULI Chief, : recommends creationof a US dominated intelligence rocf organization inAustfia to oust the influence of Dr. Wilehlm HUTU,former SD personality inirical to 00ifariii activitiesthrough Austria. Schneider candidate to head such anorganization: former Genera] LARCDSESC. Recommendedaction: :BM discussion witha

1. Developments in the intelligence field in Austria are amatter of primary interest to °DEW& since many of their operationsare dependent on lines extending through Austria. The fact that theUS asencies have sponsored the growth and reestablishment in Austriaof ele:,:ents of the HSHA which are inimical to Dr. Schneider and his.projecl has long been a subject that prompts most veheMent reactionsfrcm Schneider. He particularly deplores the • support that has beengiven to Dr. Wilhelm IdDETTL whom , he considers to be a man of such

charzia-irrand'Ooor political record that his use for intelligenceactivities, regardless of how profitable theTicay be, is a Short-sighted policy by the US.

2. It is a recognized fact that USFA intelligence agencies •have substantially backed the intelligence activities of WilhelmHOETTL, Karl vonLWLER and other former German•and : Austrian In- ..telligenizsenaliti.e-a linked with them in war and post-war intelli-gence activities.: Yajor :ZILANO stated in the spring of 1949 thatthis group, now in some way politically connected with : HerbertFRAUS,4th party, has received approximately $200,000 from since' the--

end of the war.

3. Initially, I was inclined to dismiss Schneider l s consistentettaer:s on noun as being personal' bins restating from the historical-.a--ngooicn betw o-- the ED and-tho Abwehr. However, conversations

EMIL, WC3AN ard others involved' in intelligence activities in.hut tria and 'the Balkans during, the war, but had only recently heard. that the:LI. reestablishsrent in the intelligence field was being spon-_sored by US agencies. '.His statements contained . conclusive evidence

. of the uneesirability. of any US agency supporting HOETTL and his.group—particularly in view of the fact that, they have, in the past

• four Months, become increasingly active in the political field. Elstated that upon learning of HOETTL'S activities he had recently- •Thitiatek: a letter to FE i4 outlining his.reactions to HOETTL duringthe exta:Itive interrogation in 1945.

4. Severa l weeks ago I suggested to Schneider that he reducehis views on the Aus..tr.ian. situation to writing. A few days afterthat I talked withI:17 j1:1 whb was in Yunich discussingthe relationship of ta-tne_vienna SifAllen‘ and informed him that f
