The bandita hid la foreats and did not molest Soviet Army or Border guard troopa personnel, but operated only againstwho were betraying Lithuania".

Uhe Soviet government promised amnesties to bandits who would accept "kolkhozlvatlon". ewaccepted these offers at their face value, and returned to farming. At first these people were given land, butew months they were all deported to Siberia, uch ramiiiea from the Kalvaria7 area In theSSR were deported to Siberia. ore famlllei from the same area were sent to Siberia.

All over the USSR there were expressions of passive resistance to the Soviet regime. Souroe heard of the following exaaplea:

A. Peasants in kolkhozy neglected their work. They wereIn tilling the aoil, reaping the cropa, and handling their cattle. Deaplte flnea for abaenteeiam, the foreman (brigadier) haa to hunt up the peasants and foroe them to work. Many came three to five hours late.

In all these deportations, exoept that of the Kozaka, all membera of the groups were deported, without exception. The attitude of the rest of the Soviet oltlzena towards the relocation policy waa pity for the victims, and fearike fate.

The flrat Soviet power to be disposed of should be the local nllltia, who were brutal, arrogant, and hated by the population. After the militia, the dlatrlctreand province (ieiil) Party offloiale should be disposed of. Souroe thought that the aeourlty foroea would not put up muchight against Weatern Invaders, but would buey themaelvea elsewhere and await the final outcome. The national minorities, auch as Lithuanians, and inmates of forced labor camps, would, in Souroe'a opinion, liquidate mllltla and Party offioiala if aided by the Weat instrength, orarge Weatern foroe waa approaching.

The barges were divided into three categories: Category I, the best, includedon barges; Category II, includedon barges; the remainingon barges were In Category III. However, because of their great age, only aboutf the barges Inere usable for transporting mlnerala (such as bauxite from Austria to the Rumanian ports of Ismail and Ren). Some of the other bargee inere used for transporting lighter-weight cargoes of cereals. The barges in Category III were obsolete and had been taken out of service. 3 onlyarges were actuallyn the Danube and other rivers for transporting both Rumanian and Soviet goods.

i. Because of the poor condition of barges In service, great attention was being paid to the construction of new barges in the shipyards of Tumu-Severin nd Qalatl-BraTla. 3ew bareoo were under construction and many others were repaired. The combined maximum production capacity of these shipyards wason barges per year, but that quantity of barges, although badly needed, could not be constructed because of lack of materials, personnel, and proper organization.
