revenue plan unsatisfactorily in the first quarter, comrade Sergeychuk
indicated that this was explicable to a considerable extent by the
managers of communications offices and enterprises having given inade-

great potentials for further raising labor productivity by means of
better organization of the production processes, filling the working day,

carrying out of reorganisation, comrade Psurtsev said, in giving scope
