General Informations (A) Military: (i) The port of KLAYPEDA, The harbour area is surrounded by a wooden fence and closely guarded by Soviet troops. Within the area between KLAYPEDA to the North, NAUMIESTIS to the East, and SHILDTE to the South, there are no Soviet garrisons or installations except in the following restricted areas which are closed to public traffic: units. of tho Soviet Navy are stationed there. (ii) The peninsula KURISCEE NEERUNG extending southward from KLhYPEDA, which is believed to be a heav3.ly defended area. no details of coastal defences. (iii) The area approximately between STARISlKE (STARK) (uTL:/34U/EG 1164), DARzmi m (DAR~LUPIAI) (UTM/34U/EG 1559) and KLISHIAY (ICLI IAI) (UTTM/34u/EG 1554). there are artillery ranges within this area. Gunfire can be distinctly heard in SAUGAY. one near KLA.YPEDA each with seating capacity for 30 to 40 persons. Some particulars of railway and bus fares are given under para. 4 (L) below. (B) Try s Whereas no new major roads have been constructed since 1945 the constructional quality and surface of the existing ones have been considerably improved. This observation applies particularly to the road from KLAYPEDA to SAUGAY. Bridges which suffered damage during the war have been rebuilt. The only railway in this area, namely that between KLAYPEDA and TILSIT (tiTM/34u/EG 5704) (Map 3), is a single-track line converted to the Russian gauge. (both railway and bus services function normally. not see or hear of, any new roads or railway lines being planned. (C) Power Supply: The high-tension power line from GUIIDI1diVETi/East Prussia (uTM/34u/EF,7850) . (Map 2) to KLAYPEDA, from which current was drawn to supply the district of KLAYPEDA with electric power up to 1945, was dismantled by the Russians after the war. Thus the rural area under review: has been without electricity ever since. There is a local power station in KLAYPEDA but it seems that its output is insufficient to supply both the town and' the surrounding, country. (D) Town of KLAYPEDA: There are no delays or apparent lack of rolling stock. Rural bus routes are served by new-looking Russian buses of the MOLOTOV type,. AT. there are no airfields in the area under review except ie popul,ation has grown from about 70,000 before the war to 120,000, about 7C now being Russian troops and civilians. current construction work______ for some new housing areas further town. ~r~1~ cd on the South-Eastern outskirts of the CONFIDENTIAL Contd. ...:.... 3. Sociological Observa ions- whereas towns are fairly 'crowded with Russian c1vilians in (a) Popuiation: 50X1-HUM The rural population of this area was half German, half Lithuanian before World War II. Owing to the war and its after-effects there are only a few German families left. They have very little opportunity to keep up their ethnic and cultural- tradition and are in process of amalgamation with the Lithuanians. These, in their turn, are'steadilyy if perhaps unwittingly being Russianized. Russian is beside Lithuanian the official language of the country. It is taught in schools, used in official correspondence and encountered frequently in everyday life. Many Lithuanians tend to speak Russian among themselves when travelling or visiting towns, probably'to make a "better" impres,sibn. 50X1-HUM all walks of, life, there are relatively very few post-war arrivals from the U - '- 50X1-HUM ' s Soviet Unions in rural area They are peasants like the local population and in no tvay better off than the Lithuanian~. 50X1 -HUM Thus, for instance, all the functionaries in S,AUGAr.and on the collective 1 tive Lithuanians 50X1-HUM d. b e f d ib e o ar na ar escr e these few Russians represent the first :ind only result of 50X1 -HUM the abortive attempt made by the Soviet Union after the war to settle Kolkhoz (collective farm) Peasants from Russia in the rural areas of +h a; strict of 50X1-HUM 50X1-HUM ISL.

(B) Collectivizations ; Collectivization started on a large scale in 1948 and wars completed in 19d9 or 1950. 50X1-HUM There have been no private iandowr-ers or self sustaining farmors since that time. .

While there used to be one or two security policemen detailed to each "SELO" (an administrative unit corresponding to the German "Amtsbezirk" although the word means "Village" in.,Russian), there are none at present, the police being represented by an ordinary village constable under the supervision of the chairman of the "SEL'SQVTET" (see para. 4 (A) below). 50X1-HUM there is very little crime or disorderly conduct in the village. 50X1-HUM Cases of serious offences are very rare. 50X1-HUM Any kind of resistance to the system sabotage, counter-propa-anda e'c. - l 50X1-HUM l - t if e u tnds of the peop a ly in. the on exists iu SAUGAY no instance of open resistance of any kind.

Living Conditions in Rural areas:. (A) LooaL Administration & the Kolkhoz: SAUGAY and vicinity belong to the "RAYON!' (county) of PRIEK(JLE: As an administrative division the Rayon was created after 1945, taking its place between the Rayons (formerly "Kreise") KLAYPEDA and SHILUTE. The Rayon is divided up into several districts, the so-called "Selo". Selo SAU,GAY:IS composed of 10 villages and hamlets? and is headed by the "Permeninkas" (Chairman) of the "SEL'SOVYET" (Village Council). The Chairman of the Village Council is a member and trusted functionary of the Communist Party of Lithuania. ' He represents the. sole executive power at local level. He is responsible for the security, public safety, administration and welfare of his district. ? ? . ??. He has the last word in whatever is decided by the Village Council. Because of this the Village Council, intended to be a parliament at local level, is able to act in only an advisory capacity. The Village Council meets once a week. It is composed of the representatives of all villages of the district, one elected spokesman from each, and the "Brigadiers" (see para. 4 (B) below). Whereas the Brigadiers are concerned mainly with the production side of the Kolkhoz, it is the right and duty of the village representatives to put up for discussion all matters concerning the personal welfare. of the, villagers. To all intents and purposes the Selo and the Kolkhoz .controllin( an area and its manpower are one and the same thing. The chairman of Selo SAUGAY is also the General Manager of Kolkhoz ARTOYIS named after a communist of the Spanish C.ivil.Uar). Thus the administration of this Kolkhoz is in SAUGAY, the land it cultivates is the former property of the inhabitants of the 10 villages which now form the Selo SAUGAY, and its manpower consists of these sane villagers. (B) Organization,of the Kolkhoz: . The Kolkhoz under review has 'about 400 members consisting of family soups and single persons: the total population of Selo SAUGAY at 2,800, of whom about 1,500 are children. Thus the manpower of the Kolkhoz is in the region of 1,300.' The Koikhoz oovers 2,000 hectares of arable land and pasture. For the purpose of more efficient management and 'control of-...production the peasants of every two or three villages are organized into "?brigad_es" led by "brigadiera". ' Each of the. 4 brigadiers of Kolkhoz i1RTOYIS is responsible for all the farm work in his area. ? Only members of the Communist Party may be appointed brigacliors. They are aided by a handful of "shock" workers. The livestock of the Kolkhoz comprises 400 cattle :and . 200 horses. The facilities (in this case identical with the public institutions of SAUGAY consist of an administrative centre, a somewhat primitive club-room and library, a sick-bay and a kindergarten or.children's nursery. 'With the exception of the Kolkhoz has no mechanically propelled machinery of its own.' The tractors and harvesters ("Combines") are furnished by`the LTS (Machinery & Tractor Station) in PRIEKULE.

In a Sbvkhoz (State Tarn) 980 roubles and 560 kg of,flour we50X1-HUM Ali the abovementioned figures are subject to annual changes, the norms; also 50X1-HUM working so as to afford themselves a better s LIL '. Norms vary from year to year. For the year 1956 the minimum requirements were as follows: Men - 140 working days; Women - 120 working days. . A full working day has 8 hours in winter and 9-10 hours fromy.to October: Within the normal working hours has to perform' work to the 50X1-HUM equivalent of 100 "point " The system of evaluation by points is complioated and dotsiled. Thus for instance, driving a horsecart loaded with firewood a cUstance of ?3 kilometres earns 20 points. Persons who fail to fulfil: either the daily norm in points, or the yearly corm for the days worked, or both, are in the first instance given a:~i.ng by '-the Village Council. If this measure fails, economic pressure is exerted on them.by. curtailment of *gges, removal of some of the land leased for private use, and roa sing the taxes for what remains. . . Should the offender still fail to meet the requirements he io ret3orted to the "Vigdamas Komitetas", which.,is a kind of Country Court 'which.?sits.:once or ? "twice a month and is fined 100 or 200 or more roublee. Ae an ultimate measure the unproductive person is expellea'from the Kolkhoz and the community. However, such instances are rare and none occurred during Inf-t' s twoyear50X1-HUM residence in the Kolkhoz. . Apart from the collective work'for the benefit of the Kolkhoz or State the peasants have to do additional farm work in their own interest if they want to survive. Thus every family'is allowed to lease from the Kolkhoz up to 60 axes'of 50X1-H U M arable land and to keep one cow, some pigs and poultry; yr. 100 litres of milk Out of this private production 30.kilograms of moat, 50 S,' and 1 cwt of. potatoes in a?yoar must be handed over to the Kolkhoz. The remainder may be consumed, sold or bartered. . '.L/I a9UV~ LD w a4VVU wvv _ - .. ?_ _ . _. .Absenteeism had declined by 1950 when people realizod that collectivization had become a well-established fact which could not be halted by passive resistance. Loafing and absenteeism are rare today, being occasioned only by excessive drinking rather than by intended sabotage. The names of the mere habitual absentees appear on the Kolkhoz?inotice board along with the' punishment meted out to them.; 50X1-HUM The names and production figures of shock workers' appear periodically on the Board of Honour.

Morale & Public Opinion: In addition to the items mentioned under para. 3 (C) aboYe~ the present situation as follows: The normal grouses of ordinai~ people against the system are: A low wages, ? `. B high cost of living, . C lack of civic rights as compared with life in the pre-war Republic of Lithuania and (D) knowledge that one is no longer master of one's own land but e ong. g : o he new. ,y-created class of rural proletariat. The younger generation is affected by this feeling less than the older people, who are still keenly aware' of the bug tradition of personal freedom, land- ownership and.independent faraing, which yn this part of Lithuania goes back to the beginning of the 19th Century. only a few Party functionariee.really believe in' Communism, the consensus of opinion ?J that any kind of resistance or sabotage is useless and, in view of the possibility of ensuing reprisals leading to the gradual extermination of t)xe native population, foolish. Political and military help from the West is still hoped for but no longer really expected after the disappointments of 1953 (death of Stalin) and November 1956 (Hungarian uprising). The general attitude of the population to the regime of, the Russian controlled Lithuanian SSR is entirely negative However, many people believe that half of their problems would be solved if the present status of Lithuania as one?of the Union Republics could be changed into that of a satellite country after the pattern of Poland. The belief that all misery and evil have their roots in MOSCOW rather than. in the Lithuanian Communist Party:. or in the communist doctrine as such, is growing especially among young Lithuanians educated since the end of the rrar.

There were only two or three privately-owned receiving sets in the Kolkhoz, the high prices of the sets and difficulty in obtaining batteries being the only reasons why there were not more. All foreign broadcasts in German, Lithuanian or Russian which directly or indirectly involved politics or world affairs (news, comuentaries, talks) were jammed so effectively that satisfactory reception with ordi.naxy sets was impossible. he sets used in SAUGAY were of the type using dry-cell batteries only; at all events low voltage batteries (accumulators) could be recharged any?rhere. 5OX1 -HUM 5OX1 -HUM 5OX1 -HUM there are no restrictions on travel for Soviet oitizens holding the Soviet Passport. 5OX1 -HUM e L only two documents esser iaa. for a citizen o to carry when ravelling, namely the Soviet Passport and the Employment Book. f d k o in men of military age have to carry some:. military certifioa e.

Most of the Germans were evacuated by the German army to East Prussia and West Prussia in Autumn 1944. .Many of them, were, however, later overrun by the Soviet army and, after different periods of imprisonment in Soviet camps, sent back to Lithuania, again like Inft., or deported to other parts of the U.S.S.R. in.May 1957 there were about 25 German families in SHILUTE and perhaps 200 in the villages aroundth .e AUGSTUMAL-MOQR (UTM 34U EG 2538). r Many German families have accepted Soviet nationality in the meantimo and in doing; $o,have forfeited their. chance of repatriation to W.Germany. The population of SHILUTE has steadily own since the end of the war and at :.the. presort time already exceeds the pre-war figure. This is due to a constant influx of Russians which however, now seems to have come :to an end, presumably owing to lack of further occupation and accommodation. 0 conparativel few Lithuanians from other parts of Lithuania have settled in SHILUTE since 1945 . 3.
