Pursuant to Bureau authority, dated February 12,. 1964, a survey was conducted to determine the feasibility of effecting misur coverage on subject's private office at the Ken Iron and Steel Company, 2263 Third Ave., New Kensington, Pa. The Ken Iron and Steel Company is located in the twelve hundred block of Third Avenue and fronts on this avenue, while the rear of the enclosed yard bounds on Spruce Alley, running east-west between Second and Third Avenues and terminating at the east end of this yard. Residences. on both Second and Third Avenues are telephonically serviced (through a lead-sheathed aerial cable traversing the ‘north side of Spruce Alley from west to east, which terminates on utility pole #19319 immediately behind the yard. From this utility pole the cable is dropped into the company's office's cellar where it terminates in a twenty-five "“protector- paired” box, five pairs of which service the office's various - individual télephone numbers. The location of this office is approximately 16_wire-miles fromfthe [Pittsburgh office Consolidated Plant Vg) CS PG 187-S advised that a cable-record check ‘discloséd severalline pairs which could be made available for use. One pair was selected (Pair 847) and on testing it, ‘ measured 2,055 ohms with a db loss of 8.7 over the approximate 16 wire-miles. . . ' Subjects private office is located in the rear northwest section of the first floor and has approximately | 10' by 11! dimensions. The walls are pine-panel plank while the 10' ceiling is constructed of acoustical tile. The groved pine-panel planks are held in place with 4d nails to furring strips, 24" on horizontal center. The private office is serviced with a five-key telephone instrument which inter- connects, in addition, with several offices and points in the junk yard.

Ingress to this area can be made by removing one ! section of plank, two at the most. The preamp leads will be y extended behind the plank, downward and will emerge on po the top interior west wall of the cellar and will thereafter be secreted to the cable outlet. It is anticipated that the installation personnel will enter the Ken Iron and Steel Company surreptitiously. Prior to entry, all logical principals will be placed under surveillance and will be surveilled during the entire | operation. Special Agent personnel who are acquainted with ced the subjects and key associates will be placed in strategic a positions to provide utmost security throughout the entire operation to insure advance warning of any approach by the afore- mentioned persons. It is realized that trespass will occur but every precaution will be taken to prevent any possibility of compromise. ee we 7 te - — Docld: 32304402 Page 4
