A short time ago, Romania Libera carried an article criticizing the im-
proper attitude of the chairman of the Executive Committee of the Braila City
People's Council toward written suggestions submitted by workers. The Ex-
ecutive Committee of the Braila City People's Council thus became aware of this
error and, with the aid of the Galati Regiune People's Council, remedied the
situation. A special collective was formed solely to solve problems brought
up daily by workers.
As a result of suggestions received by this collective, a number of bad
conditions were remedied in the Comorofca quarter of the city. For example,
sidewalks on Strada Sndependentei were repaired with local materials and water
mains were installed under Strada Cavaleriei and Strada Independetei. Lighting
in the quarter was also improved.
IMPROVE PRESS DISTRIBUTION -- Bucharest, Scanteia, 1 Apr 53
Scanteia of 13 January 1953 carried an article entitled "For a Better

Shipment of Newspapers (Directia Generals a Difuzarii si Exepdierii Presei)
under the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications acknowledged the existence
of this situation in a letter to Scanteia. The directorate stated that
measures had been taken to improve the situation. The regiune director of
posts, telephones, and telegraph replaced the raion chief and imposed penalties
on a number of employees of the local postal units according to the degree of
their offense, in conformity with Prticle 16 of the Disciplinary Statute ap-
proved by the Council of Ministers in Decree 1955/1952.
