1. During Septwaber and early October 1954, there were recurrent rumors among Austrian
employees of the 3 viet-Qontrolled D~SG that the coisr upy would be merged with the
wholly Soviet SDO, The conviction is now growing among Austrian employees that
the merger will not take place, mainly because construction of the ship I)SKVA for
Soviet DWO account at the Korneuburg shipyard is proceeding as scheduled and new
Austrian office workers are being hired by the Soviet DDS0.
2. The new national Danube shipping coapsnies M*HABT (Hungarian) and SWR (Rumanian),
which were formed after the SOviete.withdrew from former joint companies HES2,HART
and S$T, will not be permitted to carry SAV petroleum products from Lobau, Austria,
to the Soviet Uccton. In both eases, t?r'?prsviovaly mdating joint companies had
shared is this traffic. Preeaasb2E the vo1 s of petroleum moved from SM Loba25X1
to the fi6& will remain at the former level but will be carried oray by Soviet
DWO ami 300 vessels. :".AHAW will continue to carry SW product for

wholly Soviet SDGPZ. The conviction is now growing among Austrian employees that
the merger will not take place, mainly because construction of the ship MOSKVA for
Soviet DDS G account at the Korneuburg shipyard is proceeding as scheduled and new
Austrian office workers are being hired by the Soviet DDSG. 25X1
2. The new national Danube shipping companies'\'IAHART (Hungarian) and SIR (Rumanian),
which were formed after t soviets withdrew from former joint companies MESZHART
and SRT, will not be permitted to carry SMV petroleum products from Lobau, Austria,
to the Soviet Union. In both cases, the previously existing joint companies had
shared in this traffic. Presumably the volume of petroleum moved from SMV Lobau
to the USSR will remain at the former level but will be carried only by Soviet
DDSG and SDGP vessels. MAHART will continue to carry SMV products destined for
Hungary.
