Information
In spite of sass deportations, the population of Kaunas appears to have in-
creased since World War II, and living quarters are more crowded than formerly.
Large numbers 'of Russians have settled in the city in the postwar years.
2. The streets of Kaunas are for the most part wide and straight. Street signs
are usually in both Lithuanian and Russian. The principal street is Stalino
Aleja (formerly Laisves Aleja), on or near which most-of the government build-
ings and large stores are located. A typical building in the center of the
city is of brick, three stories high, with a tin or tile roof. There are a
few office buildings of five or six stories. In the suburbs, most of the build-
ings are small frame houses. In front of each building, especially in the
suburbs, there is usually a triangular box illuminated from inside and bearing
the house number and a black disk an which are inscribed the name of the owner
of the building and of all its inhabitants, as well as the designation of the
militia detachment and neighborhood administration (val rba) to which the build-
ing belongs.
3. In the center of the city, sewage and water lines have been laid., but in the
suburbs, the majority of homes depend on outdoor toilets and wells. Some low
areas, such as the Old City, Sanciai, and Vilijampole, are flooded each spring.
Zal,iasis Kalnas and Aleksotas are located on hills.
1. The bridge from Kaunas to Alekeotas has been rebuilt of concrete and the bridge
to Vilijampole rebuilt of Mood,since the war. The steel railroad bridge is be-
lieved to have double tracks. A suspension bridge for passengers (sic) only,
which bad replaced the prewar bridge to Paneaune.,. was torn down in 1954, and
it was said that a concrete span would be constructed in its place.
5. The power station for the city of Kaunas is located in the suburb of Petrasiunai.
The voltage is believed to be 220. After the war, only the center of the city
was electrically illuminated, but,since 1953, the suburbs also have electric
streetlights, although the bulbs are weak and do not give much light. Only
factories are assured of a steady supply of current. In the early postwar years,

it was common for private consumers to be without electric current for months
at a time. Even under present conditions, they are often deprived of current
for as much as a week. Current is usually available only during the day, and
if available in the evening it is very weak. The cost of installing electricity
in a private home is about rubles.
6. In 1953, the only public telephones in Kaunas were in the postoffice building.
Glass-walled public telephone bqoths were being erected on Stalino Aleja in the
sume,feer of 195
7? The amain daily newspaper is the Kauno Tiesa. The Upeivis, which is a publication
of the Nemunas River Shipping Enterprise, is believe to be also a daily paper.
It costs 14 rubles annually. The majority of Lithuanians appear to pay very
little attention to State propaganda.
8. Listening to foreign broadcasts is not offically prohibited in Kaunas, but it
is not done openly. Although foreign broadcasts can be picked up on most radio
sets, there is frequent jamming by the Soviets. Official loudspeaker systems
are set up in the market place, 1+tiesto Sodas, Vytauto Park, and at Earo Muzejus
and the Iemunas River Shipping Enterprise. The last named can be heard in the
whole area near Aleksotas bridge. A wired ia,dio can be obtained for a
private home by the payment of a 20-ruble fee for installation and five rubles
per month thereafter. Only Kaunas and Vilnyus can be received on such sets.
Radios can be bought at stores on Stalino Aleja across from Ukmerges Plentas,
on the corner of Stalino Aleja and Daukanto Gatve, and on Stalino Aleja near
Igulos Baznycia. A Moakvich model costs 191 rubles. Radio repair shops are
located on Prezidento Gatve and on Luksio Gatve,near the corner of Senamiescio
Gatve,
9. Kaunas is serviced by several bus lines. (See bus schedules on page 10.and over-
lay to city plan in attachment 2.) Tickets are sold aboard the busses. There
are no streetcar lines. Taxi stands are located at the railroad station and
at the corner of Luksio, Prezidento, and Stalin Alejos. At the latter stand,
there are about 15 taxis. The fare is reportedly two rubles per kilometer in
the city and four rubles outside the city.
10. The Kaunas railroad station has been rebuilt of brick on the site of the previous
building destroyed during the var. The station is fenced and guarded. Entrance
to the respective platforms is closed two to three minutes before departure of
trains. Trains leave Kaunas for Vilrarus at 1000 and 1530 hours daily. The track
from Kaunas to Viln us, to Kazlu Ruda (N 54-45, E 23-30), and to V'irbalis (N54-37,
E 22-$8) is double. The track from Kaunas to Alytus (N 52-25: E 24-05) has
been partially torn out but still goes as far as Marijampole (N 52-35, E 23-22).
In the Kaunas freight station, there are two cranes. One, used far loading
containers, is engine-driven with a capacity of at least 1.5 tans. The second
is a stationary crane used to load coal.
11. There are a large number of bars in Kaunas of three main types, called,respect-
ively,u kan,dine, bufetas and valgykla,. The uskandines belong to government
trusts and. are n but are u called by the name of the manager.
They serve cold food and beer and vodka. In the summer of 19514, there was a
report that in the future vodka would be sold only in restaurants or valgykla a.
The MVD and militia appear to exercise no special control in drinking es lish-
ments. The Palanga Restaurant., which-features music for its patrons and is
open only in summer, is located in Miesto Sodas near a theater. A pair of
small sausages bought there costs 2.15 rubles.
12. Two hotels in Kaunas are the Nemunas Hotellocated in Stalino Aleja near 22
Gatve (formerly Vasario 16 Gatve),and the Lietuvos Viesbutis (Hotel), also on
Stalino Aleja.
13. There are two legitimate theaters in Kaunas; The Dram Theater (formerly the
Valstybes Theater) on Staling Aleja, and the Youth Theater located in the building

a movie theater in the form parish house at the Intersection of Ireivoji,
Vidnkslnio, and Antakalnio Gatves in Aloknotas. Movie theaters are open from
1500 to 0100 hours, and the final perfar nce is often a foreign film., which
attracts a larger crowd than the usual Soviet film. Tickets are two to seven
rubles in price, with the cheapest seats near the screen. The beat seats are
usually five rubles.
Ili. The Conservatory of Masse is located in Uguiagesin Gatve and the School of Art
in Italijos Gatve. There is a Veterinary Academy in Varnin Qatve in Vilijampole.
The Polytechnic Inatititte is in Duonelaicio Gatve near Karo Kazejuu, and the
Medical Institute is in the same building as the Vytauto Didsiojo University.
15? Medical treatment is free in Kaunas. There are at least four hospitals in the
city: The Red Cross Hospital on Staling Aleja near Igxlos Basnyeia, the Didzio-
sios Clinic in Zalissis Kalms, 0elesinkelii Hospital an Traku Gatve, and the
Neaanmas River Shipping Enterp*ise Hospital. The last named usually treats
only employees, but occasionally other patients are admitted. In addition to
the hospitals, therm is a series of polyclinics engaged chiefly in diagnosis
and examination. AmEing these are an in Zaliasis Kaunas at the sane location
as the Didziosice Clinic, one on Jaksto Gatve, one an the corner of Mickeviciaus
and Misku Qatv+es, and one in Sanciai. A third type of medical facility in
