a ie Increase
1. Effective 1 April 1960, employees of the List German traffic
sector, particularly of the lower wage CTO4ps, are gradually to
receive higher wages. The raise of wages was effected in enter-
prises of short distance traffic on 1 April, in motor vehicle
traffic and. inland ship :ins; on 1 .:ay, and is to come into
effect in transport entortrises of the Deutsche ':.el.chsbahn
on 1 June 19 O. The wage compensation paid on the introduction
of the Central Prerziiun System (effective :7ith the fall of 1959)
will be fully charged up ac inst the increase in wa-os.

i. On occasion of the "Tenth Anniversary of the German Railroad
o'r?cer" and of the traffic conference to be held in Leipzig
in June, railroad for{.ers. were asked to produce new ":3ocialist

Order, Discipline and 'Mean liners" and was to be a preparati_ fi
for the "Co"mbat for i,iodel ~.'iork and High Transportation Per-

ii. During the traffic conference in Leipzig, the general traffic
plans for the central stations at Leipzig, Halle, Rostock,
Dresden, Erfurt, 'Magdeburg, -and Karl-I:Iarx GtLLdt, are to be
discussed along the lines of the general traffic plan for
Berlin.
iii. On 5/6 hay 1960, a ~,entral .omen's Conference was, to be held

b. Operation and Traffic
i. Compared with the preceding month, less pressure was pit on
Reichsbahn operations. Car and locomotive requirements could
be met a little eLsier. Contracts concluded between the
Reichsbahn and major commercial enterprises are to~enfore a
24 hour loading and unloading period corresponding to the Vier-,
brigadesyst-ern (Four Work-Group System). Previously, the industry
had passively resisted the introduction of the long loading
period.
ii. In late March, Polish supplies of bituminous coal to the
Deutsche Reichsbahn were fully resumed,, The coal sitmation,
particularly of RBD Berlin, was excepticnally good. Locomo-?
tines were almost exclusively fired with.bituminous coal,
iii. Military requirements of the Deutsche Reichcbahn decreased
in consequence of the decreasir;g training activities of the
GSFG. Transport movements seemed. to be an indication for a
partial reorganizaticn,.. The assembly of a considerable
number- of cars for the NVA was con_1iectec 'iith the ist May
celebrations. An indication of the possible forthcoming
return of troops was the checking of. boxcars with regard to
transit fitness and their possible emptoyment as kitchen;
cars. Appropriate cars were taken to Berlin-4stglte_rbahnhof
for equipment.
(a) Military shipments (rockets?) moving to the area of the
Second. Gds Tank Army were; rioted in military border
traffic. At the same time, the return of-soldiers and
military goods vas observed. It is not assumed that the
outgoing military goods were preliminary shipments of the
expected return movement. Thee supply of heavy tanks and
of main equipment- was continued,
(b). No special features were'observed in commercial border
traffic.
In March, three tankers with about 559000 tons of crude
oil, and up to 20 April. tliree tankers with about 35,000
tons of crude oil arrived at 'vvisma:c Harbor.
Beginning 1 August 19660; the first 'crude oil tankers
are to be discharged at the new Rostock oil harbor..
Crude oil supplies.from Austria will continue in 1960
on the level of the preceding years, i.e, at a monthly
rate of about 20, 000 tons.
Uranium ore shipments departing for the'USSR included
in February, 11 shipments with about 8,250 tons; in
March, 14 shipments with about 10,500 tons; and-prior
to 22 April, eight shipments with about 6,000 tons.

In the second half of March 1960, Deputy Traffic Minister Leiser
submitted the first stud7,on the Autobahn project to the Socialist

the estimated costs of the projects The Central Committee sharply

.,of electric locomotives was far.behind.the 1957/58 program.
In addition, available electric locomotives, particularly of
the East German types-,-t-04 and E-05,, frequently, fail to

freight puts increased pressure on locomotive operations.
All these difficulties-''will presumably not be overcome
