two new CL motor tugs, the "DUKLA" and the "SOKOIOVO". Both
of these are side paddle tugs of similar strength and construction.
Each i5 fitted with two aKD diesel motors of 350-hp." The original
contract called for two Motors each of 525 hp and this contract
CKD accepted and was then unable-to fulfil within anything like the
agreed time of completion. On that account.CSPL was offered a ?
motor of similar power but lower rate of revolutions to that
originally agreed. Eventually it became impossible to supply even
these engines and the preseet 350 hp motors were offered in their
place, and CL had no alternative but to accept. These lower
powered motors had a higher rate of revolution than the motors for
which the vessels were built and this necessitated fitting new
reduction gears between motor and paddles.
On her ,third trial the "DUKLA" split a cylinder block and has
been laid: up at USTI ever since,
The "SOKOLOVO" made her first trial in June 53, in which she
-fractured. a- them beating, In July she lse was- laid up at USTI-

Despite the fact thatthe-fittings of,the tilgs are most
modern, the material used'is of poorest quality. Each tug is
fitted with twenty electric motors to operate winches, towing lines
etc. Even in the trials many of these were in need of repair.
two further

.Documentation
The following instruction applies since Jane 1953 to all
Ctech seamen who are in possession of National oervice papers
(vojenska Knizka) and are travelling outside of the CSR:
Before passing out of the CSR the Vajenska Knizka must be
given up personally to the local military commander (Vajenske
Valitelstvi), against receipt. This receipt hc must hand over
to the police authorities at his port of embarkation, together
with his identity card (Obcansky Pruzak). For these he
receives a further receipt. This receipt he exchanges for a
third receipt with the Czech frontier authorities on leaving the
country. On the return journey the whole Proceedings are
reversed.
If-an ELBE seaman is staying only three days in the CUR
before making' his next trip, he still finds it necessary to go
to endless trouble to recover his identity.document7-and national
service papers, as to be controlled by the police inside of the
CSR and not to have those documents to hand would mean being held
pending investigations.

1. Currency Reform
the UCCDA
,workers at PILSE\T had struck, on June 1, and that one striker .
had been killed in the trouble which followed.? The SKCIDA -
workers were.partictlarly enraged as they had been paid two
-weeks or a month's wages in advance, in May. When the advance
was offered they suspected the result and refused it till they
had been assured by a representative of the Ministry? of Finance
that the currency was stable and that= reform 'Ras in view.
- Payments made by at enterprises in: June on work carried
out before 15 May were paid _at -a- rate of 1:50; work carried out
between 15 May and 1 June at a rate of 1:5;* this led to the
following discrepancy:
? The OSP', vessel "JESTRAB" had been five months under rpair
in HAMBURG and returned to BEGIN on 3 Jun 53. During their stay
in HAMBURG the crew had been drawing DM 40 per week against their
accounts. When thGir paybooks were made up in DECIN, they found
that their earnings had 'been devalued at 50:1 and 5i so that
they were heavily in debt to the firm.. The crew protested but
the chairman of the Works Council ruled that the case should
stand and forbade the crew to say another word about it.
?
The Czech population was in general -downcast and" infuriated
by the reform, as having eaten up the life's savings of all -
thrifty persons.
on
1 -June, however, a woman entered the. general, store 01. Lieri in
DEGIN, td buy -furniture and was so furious at the _devaluation
that she scattered Kc. 40,000'.amo.n.gthe customers and left.
Controls
At irregular intervals blanket street controls are carried .
out by the SUB. The most recent of these controls in DWIN
was in March 1953. The reason, for such controls is unknown but
the local population Connecta them with a search; for members of
some resistance-movement:
The existence of a Czech underground movement is never
commented upon by either the Press or the Radio, but from time
to time warnings are given to the public to be on the look-out
for the activity of Anglo-American parachutists acting as
saboteurs or spies.'
In May 1953 all householders and caretakers were called
to the local police station where' a new law was explained to
them which had validity throughout the R. For each house a
"House Book" (Domovni Kniha) was to be made out and kept by the
houeholder or caretaker. In this book the details of every
private guest must be entered who stays for the night. If
the guest stays 4.8 hours or more the householder must report to
the local police station with the House Book and the identity

Food
The population was generally dissatisfied with the food
position, mainly because prices were such that' the necessary
and available foodstuffs could not be purchased by the average
family. In the first few days after tha currency reform every-
thing was available in the shops, but within a couple of weeks
fats and cocoa were again scarcities. By the end of June all
butchers i shops were empty of customers as money had given out.
50X1 -HUM
In most families it was necessary for both husband and wife
to 7.ork to be in a position to afford sufficient food.
Queues form before most shops every evening as so many women
are working that they can purchase their foodstuffs?only after
factories or offices have closed.

Censorship
Inland
Internal mail is apparently censored only when the sender
or addressee are under suspicion by the SM. lipart from
this the privacy of personal mail is no longer a thing
which is in any respected in the CSR. Mail for
employees of CSPL, for example, which is addressed via a
CSPL office, is frevently opened and read by a GSPL
representative before being delivered to the addressee.
Any protest has no result.

DECIN possess one theatre, in PODMOKLY, and three cinemas;
the "KOWA.", the.".4VEK" and. the "LABE".
The theatre confined its activities to opera, operetta and
concerts. Concerts were not well attended but opera and operetta
wore always sold out. - During the last year the following were
produced:. La Boheme, La Traviata, The Merry Wives of '?iindsor,
F.adam Butterfly, Queen of Spades, The Bartered Bride, Halka and
Onek Onigin.
In summer Of 1952 the last Western- film was seen; this IN as
the Italian film "Bicycle- Thieves". Since then East German
films have been, shown over and over again; these include "Das
Steinerne Berke and -"Die Rotlarierten", in addition to the
