1. In 1949 a few Rumanian arms factories, such as Breiner.a at Stalin
(Brasov), recommenced limited production of war material. By the end of
1950 and early 1951 considerably more attention was directed to the pro-
duction of armaments, The Council of Ministers decreed that all factories
engaged in this work must create a separate service which was given the
name of Special Problems.
2. -A large Special Problems office was established in Bucharest and several
factories set up their respective branch offices. The function of Special
Problems was to implement all important orders for war materiel. The Special
Problems chief in each plant worked directly with the plant manager. Only
these two men had access to the correspondence of the new office which was
stamped "secret". The plant chiefs had to be members of the party and were
closely watched,
3. Special measures were taken for the establishment of the service in
Bucharest. It was located in an old building which was equipped with
an armored door, special locks, barred windows, and a large safe or strong
room. All correspondence was locked in this safe,

4. I., Chincea was chief of the Special Problems service in 1951. Chincea was
an -official of Resita with no technical background and he represented
Special Problems at the Ministry of Armed Forces in Bucharest.
5. A Special Problems Service was established at Resita, in early 1951.
6, the organization of Special Services and other
developments indicate quite clearly that Rumanian industry will be converted
by the end of 1952 to armaments production. There is a. rumor current that
.the USSR will sanction only piece work production of heavy armament in Rumania.
