J. For the past few months SMV storage facilities have been overstocked with gaso-
line and other petroleum products which the Soviets have been unable to dispose
of on the Austrian market. Sometime in February 1951 an SIN official requested
the Central Commercial Bureau of USIA to find foreign customers for this surplus
stock and indicated the SMV would accept either schillings or hard currency in
payment. Meanwhile the Soviets have temporarily curtailed production of refined.
products until the SMV storage depots can be cleared of this surplus. In par-
ticular, they have ordered a 25 percent cut-back in production at the Lobau re-
finery.

chased the preceding month from this sunplier. The following figures show how
this sulfuric acid was allocated to the Soviet-controlled refineries:
Refineri Ko. of Kilorrans

:in addition to these deliveries the Vacuum Oil Company purchased two carloads
of sulfuric acid directly from Donau Chemie.

9. The Soviets have hired a number of new oilfield workers at "atzen and Aderklaa
many of whom have been assigned to construction projects being carried on by
the SMV subsidiary- firm Bau und Montage.
10. Sometime in the early part of April six Socialist white-collar employees at
the Nova Denow refine'? were dismissed from the positions they had held for
over 25 years and were replaced by Communist Party members.
11. Schindelka? an Aureaeldn Communist employee of the SMV Purchasing Office, was
ordered to attend a 'evo-reek course of political instruction given in April
by the KPOe Cent-v. ,:ommittee. During this period Schindelka continued to
draw his full ealery.

25X1A comment: that the SMV Purchasing Office hnd
discontinued wholesale tire purchases from Semperit. It is interesting to
note that the Soviets, while continuing to buy tires from retail dealers, have
apparently resumed the policy of ordering part of their requirements direct
from the Semperit factory.
