Subjects covered in this file include the gathering of intelligence on beaches in the United Kingdom; Soviet subversive activities in the British zone of occupation in Germany; interrogation facilities in Palestine; the security threat posed by Soviet delegates in the U.K.; leakages of information through the press and official policy on D-Notices; scientific representation in foreign countries; the continuing exploitation of and release of information from captured German documents; scientific experiments on the use of carrier pigeons; and possible political developments in India following independence.
