1. The 13 Decembr?i e Flour Mill (known formerly as the Vara Assan), which ?3
located at 127 Sorada Stefan: red!. Mare in Bucharest, has been expanded and
modernized. Two ;r~ai.m elevators, each with a capacity of 1,500 tons, have
been added and are currently in operation. In 1951 a new heavy press and
refinery equipment were installed for tlx.: extraction of a new sunflower
seed-husk oil derivative named Furfurol. The new oil is to be used as a
lubricant. Three hundred employees were hired to work on the new process,
thus bringing tho total working staff of the flour ralil to 600. In addition,
an unspecified number of day laborers are hired f ?equentl.y to work in the
new grain ei?vator.?3.
2. The Industrial Rr.,.earch Enterprises (Intreprindere de Cercetari Industriale)
is located on S;oooa.ua Pantelimon, near the second streetcar stop after the
Bucharest-Pantelimon railroad link (sic). ThEI agen."y?s services are ho aed
in a group of six buildings rhich were equipped by the Installation Enter-
prises. Two of th . buildings are w ai1...equi Aped laboratories and workshops
where Soviet :>pe ialists carry on e.xtenscve research experiments dealing with
resistance and tension of materials. A third bu ldi.ng serves as a storage
center for coal and pipes, bit includes cafeteria for the workers and a
medical dispensary. A fourth building is used as a warehouse. The fifth
building houses thc electric power u?:i.:, which includes a transformer of
5,000 volts. This connected with the Bucharest power, network. The last
building contains off." cec and the living quarters of the Director of the
I.C.I. Admission. to any of the plant buildi.ngo 0 permi .ted only the members

is being used in the operation of 60 L titlymi.mpo:rted calculating machines
of Soviet manufacture. These ma,.:'hin-s were installed by Soviet technicians
who also trained Rumanian technical personnel in their operation and
maintenance.

=there are close to 1,000 rooms in t;te entire building. The sanitary 50X1-HUM
equipment is of the late,,-,-t .Berkel #ype of Sl;res mmanufacture, and the
furnishings are described- as 11luxuric'14.s ~ ian ex >c'*=iS vF, I ar'n Fore and
carpets". Particular attention seems to have been. giveii to corm nicat'ions
because the hospital is linked directly with the Central Offices of the
Workers Party in Bucharest and has facilities for local and long distance
domestic calls, as well as.for internati cnal long distance calls.
5. During the autumn of 1951 a 5,000 volt tran,sfcrme_? of Hungarian manufacture
was installed in the yard of the 7 Ncvemtric Textile Factory (former
Dambovita). The factory'.s entire electrical installations were replaced
and its power plant was completely overhaul d.
6. A radio jamming station was established a rcoentl- constructed bui.i.dd.n
located in the Baneasa suburb north of Bucharest, 50X1-HUM
a motor driven engine "produced a strong noise"' which was amplified by t ~e
station and then transmitted otrer a Givers wave. ;and,
7. The Obor Market of Bucharest was e u.ipped with t"h::ee refrigerators of
Rumanian the 50X1-HUM
installation of these refrigerator units took place in inid-au -.unn 19U.
Currently under construction are several new buildings which are adjacent
to the Broadcasting Company Building on St,rade Popov (former Strada
Berthelot).
Also under construction is a bus termyria.:'_ and garage located at an un-
specified point on Calea Colentina, somewhere between the Sfantul Dumitru.
Church and Strada Teiui Doamnei in Bucharest. The garage will have auto
repair facilities and will be able to ac ;o1mm .a :e 100 buses.
10. A Technical School far Apprentices was b,~ilt in Craiova in the au-11:11M of
1950. Located close to the Polytechnic ! rs Vi.t.u'.c~ on. Strada. Miha.i Brava,
the new school is three stories high, ha: well equipped technical workshops
and laboratories, offices, dining reams and dormitory facilities for 480
students. The dormitory sect3_on has 120 rooms, :fur beds to each rc..,m.
11. In December 1951 construction' was comple-.ed on a new maternity hospital
named Casa Copilul_ui near the Botanic Gardens in Crsiova. The hospital
has 800 single rooms, modern surgery aid laboratory saci_iit?i.es, a
crematorium, offices and Berkel type s n-_.Ary equipment. The electric
current used, at the hospital is 380 voles, three phase A.C. On the roof
of the building is a ter-'ace which holds three structures of unspecified
dimension 11,,rhich r. esembl pillboxes" . T yea "pal lboxe ;" have small openings
facing in different directions.
12. A machinery and auto repair yard, located opposite the railway station in
Medgidia and close to the grain elev,-a.tor,.s, has rE,cent?ly undergone enlarge-
ment. The work yard covers a large ar?a includes a large work shed,
200 x 100 x 30 meters, two warehouses, five small workshops equipped with
lathes, polishing machines, drilling and casting machinery, and an electric

power plant. The principal activity of this yard is the repair and
maintenance of tractors, autos, drills, excavators and other machinery
which is being used in the Danube River -? Black Sea Canal Project. The
workshops also manufacture whatever spare replacement parts and tools they
require. Attached hereto is a rough sketch of the yard (Attachment C).
13. Expansion works are underway for the enlargement and improvement of an
old cement factory located eight kilometers southeast of Medgidia (see
Attachment D). The factory is connected with Medgidia by an asphalt road
which begins at the southern outskirts of the town. 50X1-HUM
=from the factory site, there is visnble to the north, at a distance 50X1-HUM
of approximately one kilometer, the Medgadi a' Constarita railroad line.
14. The cement factory has its own power plant but, also receives current from
Ovidiu. The Ovidiu current of 35,000 volts reaches the factory via
overhead cables and after being reduced oy the factory transformer to
5,000 volts, is distributed throughout to factory via underground cables.
Besides the main transformer connected to the Ovi.dlu line, the factory
has five other transformers ranging from 5,00 volts to 380 volts. The
under round cable network of the factory is accessible through two openings
which lead into a tunnel, 150 meters long and 2 meters high.
15. in the eastern section of the factory grounds tw re are stone quarries.
When the stone is quarried, it is placed on bets which take it into a
shed containing "two water basins for stone watering". From there the
stone is put through the stone crushing equiptcent. and, thence, to the
furnaces. After processing, the cement is piped into the packing section
where it is put into ba s and -:;hen placed in the storehouse. The pipe.
line is estimated to be five meters in diameter. 50X1-HUM
16. The factory consists of four different workshops, a steam plant equipped
with two boilers, three warehouses, two canteens, a medical infirmary,
a toilet building, a small office ^.~i fns the Militia, and two admini-
strative office buildin;s. Still under construction is a building which
has "two circular concrete basins, five meters high and five meters in
diameter". The factory employs approximately 2,000 workers and, in addition,
uses an unspecified number of military labor units. The latter, are housed
in 45 wooden barracks.
17. Prior to'its enlargement, the cement factory had a gaily output of 100
tons of cement which was used almost exclusively for the needs of the
Danube River - Black Sea Canal Project. another 50X1-HUM
large cement factory of the same type as the Medgidia p ant is under
construction in Turda.
1#3. In the summer of 1951 a three-story prison building was built near two
Rumanian military barracks on Vasile Lupu Street in Ploesti.
19. Three hangars were built in the yard occupied. by a Rumanian anti-aircraft
regiment on Strada Frunzisului near the 23 August highway about three
kilometers outside of Ploesti toward Carpin The hangars are of masonry,
30 by 50 meters, and were completed in the spring of 1951. One hundred
meters northwest, of these hangars are three underground ammunition dumps.
There are also four wooden barracks and a canteen which are located
opposite the new hangars on the south side of Strada Frunzisului. The,
entire area is surrounded by a barbed wire fence and is guarded by anti-
aircraft guns. Attachment :t; shows the area in detail.
20. In autumn 1951 a new three-story building with 120 dormitory rooms was
built 'opposite the Mihai Bravul railroad station, midway between Bucharest
and Giurgiu. On either side of this building are old Rumanian military

barracks. Wooden barracks for the workers, a warehouse for building
materials and a small electric power plant were also constructed. Plans
called for further construction work on the site.
21. A baths building for the use of 4,000 miners was built at the Petrila
Coal Mine no-.1r Petrosita in the spring of 1951.
the mine is worked 24 hours a day by three different shifts. The coal
is shipped to Resita by rail. Attached hereto is a sketch which shows
the relative positions of the administrative building, hospital, baths
building, workshop and electric plant. (Attachment G).
22. During 1951 ten buildings were constructed in Florica to house approximately
800 Greek guerrilla bandits who had been encamped in the area. The building
site was the firm formerly owned by the Bratianu family.
