According to the Daily Mail, the object of Mr Dufles's trip is to discuss with Britain's spy chiefs the major re- organisation of western intelligence services needed to fi the gap left by the grounding of the U-2's."
Daily Mail correspondent Stevenson Pugh describes how Mr Dulles arrived unheralded at London airport.
He says the American intelligence chief told him: "You can say I am here' on a strictly personal visit and that U-2's are definitely out."
The Daily Mall correspondent says he then asked Mr Dulles If he would be having talks with British government and service ablefs.
Mr Dulles is quoted as replying: "No, there is nothing like that arranged but if onyone wants to see-me they can." The Daily Mail report continues: "In fact, Mr Dulles visited British secret service chiefs at the M.I.5 offices in Whitehall yesterday.
