No data is known on extraction of chromium in Puke-Drenove in the pres-
ent stage of exploitation. Sixty percent more on is said to be mind now than
before the war. The percentage of pure chromium is high. The raw ore, ex-
ported mainly to Czechoslovakia, constitutes one of the main assets in the Al-
banian economic and commercial balance sheet.
The type of iron-ore deposits in Drennve (worse)-Puke is not known. Ex-
plo1tation has not begun but is included in the 1951 - 1955 industrialization
plan. The ore will be processed in the country.
Exact information on bitumen in Selenice is unavailable. It Sa known,
however, that aimost the whole Albanian output is exported to the USSR and. Sat-
ellites and that the quality is xcellent. Refineries and processing plants are
being enlarged. The furnaces are being built by the Enver Roxha I4schine Works.

in operation (about the end of 1952).
By the beginning of 1953, the new Stalin and Lenin electric power plants
will have a total capacity of 10,000 kilowatts, which is considered sufficient
for domestic consumption, as well as for the consumption of existing plants,

The works is located about 1,500 meters southwest of Skanderbeg Square,
on the Ndroq-Durres road, in Tirana (sea Sketch No 1 for location and Sketch No
2 for the Installations of the works). The works is the large^.t and, in tact,
the only works of this type in Albania. It is subordinate to the Dogs Mekanika
of thi Ministry of Industry.
Officially, the works is called the U911ne Inver Hoxha, Ndermarrja
Shtatnore (Enver Roxha Works, State Enterprise) but us'ally simply by the des-
ignation of Enver Works.
The Enver Works in its present .fort- was opened on 8 Novbcf 1948 by Min-
ster Tuk Jakova. The Enver Works was built on the foundations for a large me-
chiiie works laid by the Fiat Company in 1946. Building was suspended during
the war but resumed in 1916, with the Albanian goverment in charge, according
to the original Italian plans. Only one fourth of the c',s.1 unit is finished,
but completion is expected by the end of the 1951 - 1955 plan. The second
quarter of the Enter Works, beside the present unit, should be finlrhed by 1952.
At a conference helc: on 6 November 195x, Figeret Shehu, secretary of
the Workers Party fo: the environs of Tirana and the wife of Me.iaet Shehu,
stated that, under the Five-Year Plan, a blast furnace for steel production was
to be installed. The furnace would use Albanian iron ores for which geological
and mineralogical surveys and. drilling were in progrene.
The Enver Works is guarded by a police datai.. of seven men and e, chief.
The pot:^e are in uniform and armed with Italian rifles and revolvers. Although
they belong to the police force, they are administratively under the Fiver
Works. For guerd duty, they are responsible to both the Inver Works' ss-nagex
anc the chief of t`v- Tirana police.
The under Works covers an area of about 160,000 square meters, forming
a square with sides about 400 aetors loug. The north viide runs along the
Tirana-Ndroq-Durres road. It is fenced in by a brick wall about 80 centimeters

a wire net fence, 2.5 meters in height. The east side adjoins the army cosmis-
sariat of Tirana and is separated from it by a brick wall 1.5 meters high.
The 'Rover Works employs about 500-550 persons, both men and vomen. The
technical and administrative staff accounts for about 30 of this number, the
specialists for a dozen or so, and the reminder are ordinary workers. As far
as possible, the government employs Italian specialists. Because of the short-
age of competent Albanian technicians, Soviet and Czechoslovak engineers have
been brought to Tirana on one- or 2-year contracts.

bitmincis mincralo for the Albanian industries at Selenice are also cast. An
average of four a month was produced in 1951 and the same number is expected
under the 1952 production plan.
(2) Aluminum -- The unit furnishes the aluminum pieces for proc-
essing _--y the aluminum piston brigade of the turners' stop. The monthly quan-
tity is equal to the number of finished pistons y].us 10 percent of rejects due
to d*fecte in fuming.
(3) Bronze -- The unit supplies pieces for the journal box brigade
of the turners' shop. The number of pieces is equal to the number of finished
pieces plus 10 percent of rejects due to defects in fusing.
Various other articles of bronze and aluminum are also fi..sed. In
general, the bronze itere amount to about 30 percent of the total number of
journals, and the aluminum pieces amount to 20 percent of the total production
of aluminum pistons. Some of the products in bronze and aluminum are finished
in other units of the Enver Works, while still others are delivered to other
national industries in a rough state.
The output of the Enver Works in forcing and smelting, as well as in
processing and finishing, suffers greatly from the lack of training and the off-
hand methods of the specialized workers. Rejects in smelting and processing
average 25 percent of the total output. At certain periods and in certain
branches, it even reaches 50 percent (the source cannot give exact data). Even
finished products y!a':ch have been tested and declared perfect develop defects
when used and need frequent retouching and remaking.
The entire production of the Saver W- ,*a is for dcaestic use. It is
not possible to distinguish between products or civilian and military use, be-
