searched for guided missile or nuclear energy activity. Collateral information
has reported the appearance of military engineer units in these areas. This
report presents the results of a search in the area of Shih-Chia-Chuang.

Shih-Chia-Chuang (formerly Shih-Men) is a large industrial city located 140
nautical miles (nm) southwest of Pei-P?ing, China. This city is a major railroad
center and producer of textiles, iron and steel, and pharmaceuticals. Although
the city underwent considerable expansion during the decade prior to 1960, there
is no photographic evidence of major expansion since that time. There is no
apparent construction activity in the vicinity of this city that has any missile
or nuclear energy-significance.
The following items of intelligence ipterest were noted in this search area.
