1. On 15 March 1952 about 340 skilled Soviet workers arrived in Changchun
and were immediately taken by Soviet representatives to the No. 8 Hostel
on Hsirigjen.u (5281/0088/6424). Chinese Communist authorities in the
Northeast had invited the workers to come from Siberia. They are experienced
in military engineering and are to assist in constructing defense works
throughout the Northeast, particularly, along the coast.
2. On 4 April 1952 a consignment of 5,000 tons of arms and ammunition, part
of that ordered last winter from Czechoslovakia, arrived in Muo en by
military train from Manchouli (N 49-36, E 117-27). The supplies were taken
to military warehouses at Huangkutun (N 41-48, E 123-22). The shipment
included machine guns, rifles, ammunition and ten radar-equipped anti-aircraft
guns of a new type donated to the Northeast Military Area by the Soviet Union.
3. On 30 March 1952 Major General Fei-Yeh-Lo.-Wei-Fu (7236/0048/3157/4850/'1133)o
recently appointed commander of the Soviet Far East Air Force, arrived in
Mukden with a staff of 12 persons. He conferred for several days with the
Chinese Communist Air Force commander, LIU Ya-lou (0491/0068/2869); LIU's
chief of staff, LIU Shan-pen (0491/0810/2609.); and several Soviet advisers.
The principal purpose of the meetings was to unify the command of the
air forces of the two countries in North Korea and Manchuria, in order
to be prepared for any international crisis which might arise.
