FT/3 OTROPE
Responsible Officer: Goorge L. Tranter
Initial coverage of assigned tasks has been fairly good, but ESOTROPE has yet to produce any significant PI reports relating topro-Communist women's groups. Probably that temerity which caused her to withdraw from the Esconson project3 Hasto what appears toeluctance to extend herself too far into enemy circles, an area with which oho cannot easily identifyby reason of family, social, and religious background. On the other hand, wo know from post experience that RSOTROPEhrewd operator who plans her activities carefully and generally can produce valuable information once she haa established the necessary contacts. Her efforts are being closely watched and we presume tbat she will make the desired contribution. If not we will not hesitate to re-coranond that she be droppod.
