Office of Strategic Services survives, effect?

Assuming William Donovan manages to get his wish and the OSS carries through post-war (instead of being shut down, assets dumped to State and DoD, the formation of the Central Intelligence Group, and then the CIA) is there any chance the OSS can do a better job than the CIA?

Or were all the factors that led to the CIA having a terrible Cold War still in effect? The close relationship with the mole ridden British intelligence community, the Presidentially demanded stupid paramilitary operations (or, worse, going ahead with risky ones and then making them much riskier as with the Bay of Pigs), James Jesus Angleton, and so forth still going to cripple the OSS like it did the CIA?

If so, what's a good POD for the OSS or alt CIA to be a peer level competitor with the KGB and Mossad and other more successful intelligence agencies of the Cold War?
 
Having the moles in MI-6 exposed earlier couldn't hurt.

The paramilitary side came with the OSS pedigree and therefore may be described as an incurable congenital defect; maintaining the OSS confounds it. But you're welcome to argue that I'm wrong and the fault lied with the White House demanding such solutions rather than the Company offering them. My knowledge of this issue is limited and my stakes in it nonexistent.
 
limited budgets

It's frequently suggested most intelligence failures are failures of analysis, and the CIA arguably neglected analysis in favor of 'sexy', quasi-military programs like Oxcart (A-12 spyplane), PBsuccess (overthrowing Arbenz in Guatemala), etc. If the Agency had been spared (some of) the Cold War era largesse, it might have retained more of an more intellectual focus: dissecting 3rd-world loyalties and ideologies, while military intelligence departments scrutinized the latest MiGs and Kalashnikovs.
Basically I mean a CIA more simpatico with the State department than the Pentagon.
