* Cotment: The reletion of import Section 6 to DAHA-Naschinen und
. electrotechn . and to other trade egencies. of DAHA as described in this report
is not clear. The report seems to state that the Import Section 6 which is a
subdivision of one trede agency of anuA, viz., Drau?naschinen und Elektrotechnik,
also perfores the same functions for the other trade egencies of DAHA. However,
oter trede agencies wore reported earlier this year to have their own import
chiefs (re Attachment) or import sections (seeIIIIIIIIIIbara. 1, 2h).
Import, Sen.. identified in a report for rid-December 1950 az the DMA
Section responsible for the purehasing of maCelnery for Eastern Germaey (see
para. 1). It is possible that the present report sasnesto stete only
that the other trade agencies of DAHA have import sections which perform the
same-functions for them as import Section 6 performs for DAIIA-eiTeschinen and
Electrotechnik. SECRET
