...that certainly did not please Nikita. No sooner had Maurer flown off to Paris in his special Tarom Airlines Ilyushin 18 than Nikolai Podgorny, Secretary of the Soviet Central Committee and Khrushchev's third-ranking lieutenant, flew in for a daylong fence-mending session with Rumanian Boss Gheorghe Gheorghiu...
...journal, Viată Economica, Rumania's Boss Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej warned that Comeconomics, if pushed to the limits Moscow envisions, might well drive Rumania out of the scheme. If the Russians persisted in their efforts to relegate Rumania to the role of a mere supplier of raw materials (primarily oil), then Khrushchev might just as well count Rumania out as far as any assistance in Russia's fight with the Red Chinese was concerned.

Under this plan, Rumania, with its oil and farm produce, would have remained largely a provider of raw materials. Rumanian Communist Boss Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej, wanting industries of his own, said no to Nikita. Looking outside the Soviet bloc, he proceeded to purchase iron ore from India and turned to an Anglo-French consortium for a $40 million steel-rolling mill plant at Galati, in the heart of Rumania's budding industrial region...
