Comment:
riovement of the ocean-patrol submarine constructed
in Gorki in 1950, which was being outfitted and tested in Baku as
late as mid-1952. This submarine, the first of an improved class
constructed in the USSR since the war, was originally scheduled to
leave Baku in July 1951. Preparations were under way at that tinge
to insure that the floating drydock for its transportation would draw
no more than six feet in the Marinsk canal system north of Gorki.
Inasmuch as the request for information on
anticipated ice conditions did not include the White Sea Canal, the
submarine may be destined for the Baltic.
FAR EAST
2. Chou En-lai seeks transfer of POW's from American to "neutral"
control:
Chinese Communist Premier Chou En-lai
the "important
step" in solving the prisoner of war issue
is the release of the POW's from American
control. Chou is said to be convinced that all prisoners held under
"neutral" control would "gradually" be repatriated.
