REMARKS
1. During January 1955, construction work at Wolfsbehringen airfield,
because of the weather was not resumed. Of the local workers, an 25X1
emergency detail had been organized at the construction site, while the
non-local workers were gI*en here?les a with 60 percent pay until work
could be resumed. It was not expected that work would begin until 14 days
after the end of the frost period.
2. An initial investigation had been started against the bonstruction
supervisor and the business manager who had recognized overtime work
without being fully authorised. Overtime work was permitted only in
emergency cases and with special permission. Some of the overtime hours
worked during the unloading opsrqtions of incoming constriction material
had not been approved so far by the pauuaion Sued. It appeared possible
that the law proceedings would be started against the two men responsible.
