          -April  1947 (by Bill Doyle) until arrival of Win Scott as COS in 1956, Charles

            Anderson III (still in LA/HQ) had developed a support apparatus to

            exploit leads from the Soviet Embassy.  This umbrella type project (LIFEAT)

            consisted of multi line phone taps, three photo sites, a mobile surveillance

                          (which t                at time felt was good security in that

                          if  they     .ed about- shop, they would talk to each other.)


                          b.  Three photo sites were handled by Anderson with the help
