le A budget of 16,500,000 Sohillings has been requested for capital repairs on Soviet,
army installations during the remainder of 1953. The sum is to Dover the balance
due on contracts already signed which were not settled under occupation costs and
some additional repair expenses.
2. On 4 September 1953, two Soviet officers assigned to Soviet headquarters in Austria
stated that all Soviet officers in Austria may now bring their wives and children
below school age to Austria, subject to the availability of housing.. Under
regulations heretofore in force,. this privilege had been extended only to officers
in the grade of Lieutenant Colonel and up.
3. The Porr Allgemeine Baugesellschaft, Vienna, contracted on 7 September 1953 to
renovate the Peterhof building in Baden,'Lower Austria, by 15 November at the
expense of 960,000 Schillings. The left wing of the Peterhof houses at present
publishing offices, the judge addoate: section and the chief provost marshal of
the Central Group of Forces. The repairs contracted for by the Porr A.G. consist
of the installation of central heating and showers and the refinishing of the
interior of the central portion of the building..
25X1 I_ ICommentz It is believed that the repaired section of the Peterhof will
be used to billet officers' wives whose arrival is anticipated under the new policy.
In view of the large outlay it seems unlikely that the Soviets plan to remove
troops from Baden.
