The dissolution was the result of an order from the Soviet Control
Commission, Ka.rlshorst. It is believed that the entire reconstruction
of the Junkers plant will now be abandoned.
2. Between 16 and 18 June 1953, 24,000 employees of the Leunawerk
went on strike. For three days a fire raged in the methanol
plant; the workers seized the sulphuric acid salt production
equipment and two cracking furnaces. As of 19 July, the entire
plant was believed to be operating at about 60 percent of normal
capacity.
In the most recent reorganization of East German government
economic offices, the liquid fuel functions of the Marketing
Office (Absatzkontor) of the Ministry for IM;.aterial Procurement
have reverted to DHZ Kraftstoff and Mineraloele. The Marketing,
01'lice now handles only deliveries of chemicals and fuels of all
kinds between plants, and not materials which appear on the open
market. Raw materials for further production into marketable
products are to be handled by the DHZrs generally. In connection
with this move, the staff which moved from the DHZ's to the
marketing offices in February 1953 has now returned. Export and
Reparations plans, however, remain the province of the marketing
offices.
4. The former Derunapht liquid fuel depot in Berlin-Adlershof has
been turned over to the East Berlin city administration. Derunapht
has been given the former DIIZ depot in Rumrnelsburg (previously
belonging to Maway) and the Spiritus-Inspektion tanks in Berlin-
Lichtenberg to replace the Adlershof depot. Berlin state reserves,
however, remain at A41erslaof a before.
Langensalza,

1 July 1953. Total capacity is reportedly 4,000 cubic meters;
of this, 2,500 cubic meters is for gasoline and 1,500 for Diesel
