MUNICH, Germany, June 8—An army of Romanian “lave laborers—believed to number 30,000 men and women-— is working on the construction of & huge Soviet naval and submarine base on the Romanian coast of the Black Sea, refugees who recently arrived in Western Germany from

But according to eyewitsss accounts it is a vast Russian ‘ar project to link Lake Téssaul ‘ith the Black Sea near Mamaia, wrth of Constanza. The entire area between Ma‘ala and Midea, where a dam *s miles in length is under con- ‘ ‘ruction, has been sealed off by iwrbed wire fences. It is closely : 7arded by specially-picked de‘chments of the Romanian se- « tity police under the command ' officers of the Russian MVD. 1e¢ Kremlin apparently does not ust its Romanian satellite.

The forced laborers have been recruited almost entirely from the ranks of the Communist regime’'s political opponents. They are the so-called “enemies of the

people.” The vast majority of the en-

gineers, too, are prisoners. Even some of the technicians who are free are forced to live under strict military discipline, The prisoners live in wooden barracks placed right in the middle of the marshes. Only removable bridges and ladders link the barracks with land. Work is done mostly in water. It begins at dawn and ends late in the evening, with only a half hour break for lunch. The diet consists mostly of fish which are caught in Lake Tessaul by special teams of slave laborers. The toll of lives is particularly heavy on the construction of the

THE SOVIET UNION, comprising one-sixth of the world's land surface, actually is one vast slave labor camp so far as its 14 million unfortunate forced laborers are concerned. This Times map, based on a documental map prepared by Isaac Don Levine for the Free Trade Union Committee of the American Federation of Labor, shows the location of most of the known slave labor areas administered by the GULAG—the Soviet slave labor trust. Hammer and sickle symbols represent sprawling areas served by prisoners of the GULAG, who are a vital element in nearly every essential Russian industry. Excessive crowding of the map prevents spotting every slave labor camp which has been authenticated by sources of the Free Trade Union Committee.
