14 The shipyards at Holeeovice and Usti nad.Labem are working almost exclusively
for the USSR, and orders placeei by the Czechoslovak government have had to be post-
p,ned indefinitely. At Solesovice, the former manager., Richter (mi.i), carried out
urgent replira on'CSPLO river barge No. 665 on his own responsibility, and as
a result.he was discharged.
2. The Usti nad Labem shipyard had to change its production program and concentrate
entirely on the manufacture of floating cranes., pontoons and heavy ploughs :sic).
In February 1953, 2,,400 pontoons were produced for the USSR.
The Usti shipyards employ 700 workers, working three shifts. Only a small part
of the yards is reserved for maintenance work on Czechoslovak.. river craft, and only
the most urgent work'is done.
Finished products are tskbn over by Soviet officials at the shipyards and shipped
to the USSR on special railroad cars.
