Control of this area is now the responsibilities of Fixed Team HAIPHONG. COMMUNICATIONS Railways 1. A propos speculation regarding a change of gauge on the North Vietnamese railway, one observer in November saw several piles of new wooden ties estimated at 7 ft long - probably suitable for standard gauge layout. 2. There have been NO sightings of diesel railway engines on this line in the last six months. Even the Chinese International train uses only steam locomotives. Airfields 3. The airfield at TIEN YEN is still only suitable for helicopter landings having most of its runway covered with stones of about 8 in diameter. There is however a control tower and weather station and several observers have stated that with a determined effort coolie labor could clear the field very quickly for light aircraft landings.

A small railway shop has been established in VINH. Its work at the moment consists of straightening and repainting metal ties. A number of locomotive boilers are also being checked and repainted. There have been reports that the old rail line which now is in operation only as far as THANH HOA, is to be repaired as far as VTNH at least. The ties being repaired are NOT suitable for a standard gauge layout so perhaps plans for a change to this wide gauge do NOT extend to this line. ECONOMIC Electric Power 2. With reference to the power plant at VINH, it has been established that the voltage in this "area is 220V D.C. DONG HOI Period Covered 7 September 60 - 21 November 60 GENERAL Military Installations on Road DONG HOI - HO XA (DMZ) !• 1&S3. Item 708 Barrier across road - probably a check point for traffic proceeding toward the DMZ. Police wear red collar badges with a solid green circle on them. On one trip in early November our observer noted three men in new looking civilian clothes but with a blanket roll exactly the same as the army use. They looked very fit and were walking toward the DMZ. 710 Off to the WEST of the road at a distance estimated at 1000 yds our observer noted 7 x 2g ton trucks moving nose to tail in convoy. The road they were using is not easily visible from the main highway at any point due to rolling ground. This may be an alternative route SOUTH accounting for the paucity of information on troop movements through DONG HOI. SECRET �Document disclosed under the Access to Information Att Document divulgue en vertu de la Loi sur I'acces a finformation -4- SECRET JIB(CAN) 1/61 Kms Item 711-722 In this area are six or seven large military establishments. Two or three are of mud and bamboo construction with thatched roofs and the rest are new permanent stucco type buildings with tile roofs. All have flag poles and are guarded by sentries. All but one are on the WEST side of the road. Our observer estimates that each of these barracks would hold a battalion. In this area the training observed was mainly infantry carrying out advanced company tactics wearing camouflage on their helmets and sometimes wearing a camouflaged cloth sheet draped over their uniform. Officers were engaged on tactical exercises without troops and some were surveying with instruments akin to an artillery aiming circle. 716 5 bamboo huts in a cluster at about 8-900 yds WEST of the road. There were two aerials looking like a square U with a double bar across the bottom. See sketch. These were on poles at about 30 ft from the ground and surrounded by 7 plain poles of about the same height in a circle around them. 717^ On high ground 500 yds WEST of the road were two aerials on poles (supported by guy wires). See sketch: Two other poles flanked these and seemed to have an aerial wire leading to the aerial described above but this may have been an illusion due to distance.

Trenches are too wide to provide much cover and they run too straight from high to low ground. He feels they are merely drainage ditches. A few do look like troops had been training at digging section positions but they seem to be unconnected and would not make up a defensive position. 724 Village of HO XA. 2. Another observer toward the end of October sighted an aerial 200 yds WEST of the road at about Km 715. See sketch below T^A-H- It is possible that this is the same as that reported at Km 716 above but not likely as both officers are experienced at judging distances and the descriptions do not tally. ECONOMIO Floods 3. In the VTNH - DONG HOI area in October about half the road surface was under water, 40 Kms SOUTH of DONG HOI the area was badly flooded with roads covered and all rice fields flooded over the dikes.

ECONOMIC AND TOPOGRAPHICAL INTELLIGENCE North Vietnam, November I960. POLITICAL - INTERNAL Food and Agriculture 1. The authorities continued to show concern over the food situation. A communique issued by the Government Council drew attention to the 3% annual increase in the population and called for greater productive effort and more economies, whilst the Lao Dong Party issued a directive on the grain problem and another on the "winter-spring campaign" in agriculture. Peasants were exhorted to sell their surplus rice to the State, rather than to private dealers who offer a higher price, and to fulfill their tax obligations. Cadres in rural areas were urged to realise the national importance of all matters connected with the food problem. Reasonably good weather favoured the harvesting of the rice crop, in contrast to the calamitous weather earlier on, and at the end of the month the autumn crop was claimed to be not much lower than that of 1959, a bumper year. Without necessarily believing this claim, observation along the Hanoi-Haiphong road indicated a good harvest, at least in that region. Jtericultural co-operatives 2. The newly-formed agricultural co-operatives began to be pushed into shape. The so-called struggle between the two tendencies in the rural areas - individualism and collectivism - was stated to go on inside the co-operatives as well as outside them. Model Regulations for Agricultural Co-operatives were published in the press on November 6. SJjio-Soviet Bloc - Soviet Anniversary 3. In North Vietnam the Soviet anniversary was warmly celebrated, though not noticeably more so than the Chinese anniversary had been in the preceding month. An article in the press signed by the Minister of Heavy Industry thanked the Soviet Union for its assistance in connection with a number of mines, factories and power stations, and it was stated that over 2,000 North Vietnamese cadres, students and workers are now being trained in the Soviet Union, Other Countries - Laos 4. The Vientiane Radio report that the Soviet Government had decided to supply petrol and oil to Laos was reproduced in the press. CONFIDENTIAL �Document disclosed under the Access to Information Att Document divulgue en vertu de la Loi sur I'acces a /'information -7- CONFIDBNTIAL JIB(CAN) 1/61 ECONOMIC Foreign Trade 5. At the beginning of the month the North Vietnamese authorities drew up a plan for1 the negotiation of economic and trade agreements with the other countries of the Communist Bloc, On November 13 a trade agreement wasfeignedwith North Korea covering the next five years, and a protocol for 1961, North Vietnam will supply apatite, chromite, tin and other products in exchange for North Korean steel, iron, fertilizer, copper wire and other articles, 6; North Vietnamese delegations left for the Soviet Union, China and Mongolia to negotiate and sign economic and trade agreements with those countries. 7, . North Vietnam concluded an agreement with China on scientific and technical co-operation. Fisheries 8, It was announced that the Soviet delegations for research on fisheries, after working for one year on the research of fish reserves and fishery technique for the purpose of supplying fish to the Haiphong cannery, would shortly return home. ./ New Factory 9, The completion was announced of the Soviet-equipped pharmaceutical factory which started building in 1958.

SHIPPING - Fishing Trawlers Visit to St. John's of Trawler DRESDEN, 30 November I960. 1. On 30 November I960 the East German fishing trawler DRESDEN (ROS 219) visited St. John's sailing again for the Grand Banks the same day* The purpose of her Visit was to embark fuel and water.She proved to be a normal, rather uninteresting trawler, 2* Her Captainj who wore medal ribbons on his uniform jacket, was Veiy suspicious and only handed over those ship's papers which ih hig opinion were strictly necess&ry. He spoke poor English but according to the agent he was the only person on board who could do sot He did mention that he had served in the German Navy in the last war, presumably as an officer^ but he,did not elaborate* 3* , A sum of money to allow one dollar's advance to each member Of the ship's company was drawn from the agent* This parsimony is in marked contrast to the amount drawn by the Polish trawler DALMOR recently.• kt The captain mentioned that he expected to be back in Rostock on 14 December* 5. More information about the East German ship ROBERT KOCH has come to, hand (see JIB(CAN) 25/60). It is, confirmed that she is a supply and hospital ship* She Supplies fuel and water and algo fish nets and accessories which bannot be purchased in St. Jbnh's* •i In so far it. the composition of the rest of the Eafet Gettnan fishing fleifet on the Banks is concerned, the BERTOLD BRECHT (see JIB(CAN)s 19/60 and 22/60) is employed both as a factory ship and fishing trawler, the MARTIN ANDERSON NEXO (which has not been into St. John's yet) as a factory ship only.

SHIPPING - Fishing Fleets Trawler DALMOR's visit to St. John's, 25 November I960. 1. The Polish fishing trawler DALMOR (GDY 300) visited St* John's from 22 to 25 November, She was on her maiden voyage from GYDNIA and was also the first Polish fishing trawler to visit St, John's. 2. The purpose of her visit was repairs to her radar, the reinforcement of certain deck bollards which had been cut by wires, the replacement of some hatch cover screws, and the repairs to certain baskets on her three fish elevators. Apparently during her crossing from GYDNIA she experienced heavy weather. She had not done much fishing before entering St. John's, and it is believed that the main reason for her visit was to embark fresh water, the repairs outlined above being secondary* 3. The report that follows stems from two sources, the agents and a technician of Latvian descent who repaired the radar. The two accounts differed somewhat. This may be because the Latvian seemed to be very conscious of authority and was, perhaps, afraid of anyone from an iron curtain country. Also, perhaps, the officers and men were on their best behaviour to impress the agents as they were the first of presumably several Polish trawlers which will be • using the port, 4. According to the agents, the Captain spoke very good English, was extremely hospitable and friendly as were the rest of the crew. The agent noted that the Captain left him alone in his cabin for almost half an hour when he was called away, a thing that the Russians would never do. The Mate and Chief Engineer also spoke good English and were friendly—in fact that agent's general impression was of a crew who were determined to enjoy themselves now that they were "away from the watchdogs"* 5. He noted that the crew were all smoking American cigarettes and that a Polish export beer (with English language labels) was very much in evidence. The Captain mentioned that they had stocked up from the bonded stores before leaving Poland, 6. All workmen working on board from St, John's were offered a bottle of beer and their dinner free of charge. j 7. According to the agents' marine engineer the main propulsion unit of the DALMOR i s a 2400 H.P. SULTZER DIESEL, a variable pitch propeller is fitted. There are three 375 H.P. generators of SULTZER manufacture, each producing 225 kilowatts for a 22C Volt D.C. system. Six refrigeration machines are fitted. Two evaporators were noted (one of which was being worked on), and four purifiers of "Titan" design. There were no signs of any D.G, coils. S E C R E T 000025 �Document disclosed under the Access to Information Act Document divulgue en vertu de la Loi sur I'acces a finformation -19S EC R E T JIB(CAN) 1/61 8. The Chief Engineer stated that the ship had not refueled since leaving Poland and that he had 400 tons of fuel left (the ship did not refuel in St. John's) but that fresh water was a problem, A machine shop which was locked was noted. In the course of the conversation it was stated that four more sister ships to the DALMOR were being built and would be working on the Grand Banks in due course, 9. The Captain spoke to the Polish Embassy by telephone during the stay but the gist of his conversation was not known. Shore leave was given during the visit and a total of #1250,00 was drawn by the Captain for the crew to spend ashore. Amongst his purchases were eight small live turtles. 10. The ship embarked fresh water, some engineers' stores including grinding compound, and starting cartridges for the life boat engines; gauge glasses of a certain pattern were also requested but could not be obtained. The agent also had to supply a green cow*s hide which the Poles said "they used to cover the quadrant", 11. There were five passengers on board including a representative of the fishing company, a Dane who was a technician from one of the firms which supplied parts for the trawler, an English representative named RAWLINGS, of the firm who supplied the engines for the life boats and a West German technical representative, Mr, Rawlings was observed to wave his English passport around and complain long and bitterly when he was informed that he would not be allowed to spend the night ashore in St, John's. However, both he and the Dane flew back to Europe from St. John's. 12. The technician who was called upon to repair the ship's radar is a Mr, ROSENBERG who was born in Latvia and who spent some time in West Germany. He stated that the radar was of KELVIN HUGHES manufacture, MARK 14 with a 12" screen. He found the main resistor for the 550 volt circuit defective. He also adjusted the set to get a clearer picture. 13. He had several conversations with the radar operator who could speak Polish, Russian and German; according to the latter, "everyone was afraid to do anything", Rosenberg noted that the radar operator stopped talking when the Captain was around, Rosenberg got the impression when talking to the Captain that he was the political officer; he noted that the Captain "did not have the normal experience of radar". 14. The radar operator told Rosenberg that the other new trawlers building would not have British equipment but West German. He mentioned LELAC of KIEL for the fish loops, for instance. 15. Rosenberg noted two types of echo sounder, a KELVIN HUGHES "KINGFISHER" type and a KELVIN HUGHES "FISHERMAN'S ASDIC" in the wheelhouse. He saw three gyro repeaters of PLATH of HAMBURG /manufacture, S E C R E T �Document disclosed under the Access to Information Act Document divulgue en vertu de la Loi sur I'acces a finformation -20- S EC RE T JIB(CAN) 1/61 manufacture, one on each wing of the bridge and one in the wheelhouse. There was also a magnetic compass. He noted that the automatic log was either of SWISS or SWEDISH manufacture. The radio equipment was Danish made by RADIO MECHANIKA of COPENHAGEN. The chart room door was left closed during the whole time he was working in the wheelhouse. 16. The radar operator stated that they would install an additional radar next year.

Just at this time the volume of smoke reduced to very nearly nothing. At 1315 hours the volume of smoke was approximately half that observed five minutes earlier. 2. At 1400 hours no smoke was emitting but the tops of all four test cells were in the open position. 3.

TRANSPORTATION Unusual Vehicles, Moscow 19 December I960. 1. At approximately 1815 hrs 19 December I960, a cement carrier type vehicle was seen to come off the bridge on Komsomolsky Prospekt and proceed approximately NE along the road beside the wall of Aircraft Engine Plant 300. 2. The vehicle appeared to be a cement carrier with a i'AZ 200V towing unit. The unusual feature was that, in contrast to the rest, the upper forward portion of the tank was dark in colour and not white or light grey. (See sketch below.) The impression gained was that the tank was frosted over except for this top comer where the frost had melted due to the tank's not being quite full or due to the flow of warmer air over the roof of the cab. It might well have been merely a cement carrier covered in cement dust except that the dust had been carried away from this section by a combination of movement-created wind and moisture in the air at the time. Darkness and speed prevented observing whether or not there was any vapour. SIDE VIEW Approximate extent of dark areas shown shaded.

XVIII. ECONOMIC AND TOPOGRAPHICAL INTELLIGENCE Drilling Activity in the Soviet Arctic 1. An expert in Arctic geology who visited WARSAW in the summer of I960 had a discussion with Adam URBANIK, Chief of the Palaeontology Institute at the University of Warsaw, He was informed that a Soviet palaeontologist of Leningrad named OBUT had recently made some very interesting studies of graptolites, but was prohibited from publishing his papers due to stringent security regulations. Apparently Obut had obtained his specimens of graptolites from diamond drill cores taken from some extensive drilling operations on BENNETT Island in the BEAUFORT Sea adjacent to Alaska. The depth of the drill holes and the physical structure are unknown. 2. The fact that drill cores from classified projects are made available to geologists for study is interesting and might prove to be a source for similar information.

This contained about 10-15 khaki painted POL type tanks, estimated 10 feet in diameter and 16 feet long. There were several canvas covered piles of stores near some low white buildings in the South part of the area and two Gaz 51 vehicles with military numbers believed to be in the L9 series were parked near these. The light and the trees made observation difficult.

There are 18 towers in all, 12 of them are estimated to be 200 feet high and 6 are lower (estimated 175 ft high). They are in a roughly U shaped pattern and seem to consist of four groups of towers and antennae. There is a low white building approximately 200' x 40' in the centre, and Northeast ? of this a group of low caged diapole aerials on masts about 25 feet high. The layout is roughly as sketched below: Caged diapole aerials on 20 ft masts Low white building 0 " \ This group separated ^ 5 ~ Vfrom the rest. o) -f+ffH-H-H Note: Sr-iall c i r c l e s are lower towers and l a r g e r ones are higher towers.

It was noted that the array seemed to be in four parts, with three groups of five masts each in straight lines and then a group of three masts which were separated by a considerable distance from the rest. It is thought that groups A, B and C were connected, possibly by a power feed of some sort, but the group of three in the top side did not seem to be connected to the rest. It is thought that Groups A, B and C had a broadside curtain array between masts. A and C definitely did. The towers had an enlarged saucer shaped latticed beam arrangement on top. A5ZW Curtain array between masts. (b) Zlochev There was some evidence of new railroad line and siding construction at this point. On the RHS, i.e., to the South, before reaching the station it was noted that a railway spur with a regular curve ran up to the side of a hill, where there were some small buildings and stopped there. The regular curve looked like one half of the double curve spur which is used for turning engines around, but no sign could be seen of the second half of this. There was a newly ballasted line at this point. Shortly after leaving the station a short spur which looked like it was newly constructed, ran off to the left, i.e. North, into a large fenced area containing numerous olive drab painted oil storage tanks about 10 ft in diameter and 16 ft long. Most if not all these tanks were protected by earth revetment. An officer in a greatcoat with black cap band and petlitsies and an other rank were standing at the gate where the spur ran into the area. There was a perimeter road running around inside the fenced area with revetment protected tanks on both sides of the road. The layout is sketched •n the folltwing page.

It was very busy, with long queues buying tickets including everything from Gypsies and peasants to a group of officers, mostly artillery with a few tank officers among them. 7. RAIL TRIP ZHMERENKA-ORSHA (Oct 15, Train No 20) (a) Byikov - On West side of railroad | km away an airfield containing CAMELS and FARMERS. Although parts of the field could lie seen easily an accurate count was difficult to obtain because of the buildings and structures which kept getting in the way. It is considered that 50 CAMELS and 20 FARMEKS is a fairly accurate count. (b) Mogliev - Duty patrol on platform consisted of MT troops. Zil 151, number L3-23-19 was seen near the station, loaded with a mixed bag of troops, mostly MT. A fire train was on a track not far from a 12 hole engine repair shed. (° ) Orsha - The duty station patrol was signals. It was raining heavily the night the travellers arrived and the following morning it was so foggy that visibility was about 50 feet. Although a tour of the town was made, nothing could be seen. An unsuccessful attempt was made to find the alleged AA barracks at km 104 on the Leningrad-Kiev road. 8.
