Gehlen's Rival
Gehlen once had a West Ger
man rival. The challenger was
Dr. Otto John who defected to
East Germany in 1954 but re
turned later and served a term
in a West German prison. John,
a hard drinker with a prima
donna's temperament, had head
ed West Germany's office for
the Defense of the Constitution.
The office is an FBI-like body
handling internal counter-espionage.
John early in 1954 flew to
Washington to seek dominance
over Gehlen. Former CIA direc
tor Allen Dulles turned h i m
down. The CIA until 1955 kept
direct control of FIA activity.
Dulles' decision to stick by Geh

his double defection.

Joke on Hrils
In 1955, U. S. agents dug a
500-yard tunnel under the East
Berlin border. At the Commu
nist end of the tunnel they tap
ped the telephone and telegraph
lines servicing Soviet Army
headquarters in Germany. They
tapped lines poured out a flood
of secret data. Almost a year
later the Red Army stumbled
onto the tunnel. West Berliners
still laugh at the Communists
about it and some "spook s

When the
amazed and en
raged Soviets crept into the tun
nel, they found a sign at the
point where it passed under the
East - West border. The sign
told the Russians they were
now entering West Berlin.
