11 Feb 1.9
A recently held plenum of the Xhabarovsk Bray Committee VRP (b)
demanded that party organizations of the tray improve their methods of
directing the economic activity of enterprises and thereby eliminate
production lag in the tray's Industry. Industry of the tray has con-
tinually lagged and did not fulfill tho plan for the first 3 years of
the current Five-Year Plan. Primary Party organisations in enterprises
must be atrengthetied, mat increase their responsibility for the oper-
tion of the enterprise, and must achieve Party control over the sotivity
of economic administrators and workers. Work of the pr'iamry Party organ-
izations in the Plant amend Ordzhonikidze and In "Amarstal!" Plant, where
Party workers studied and directed every phase of econcaic activity in-
cluding the most complux financial aatta:s, serves as a good emuaple to
other party organizations.

reports that the new active group in the bray Komsomol organization in-
cludes 357 directors of Komsomol organs, 2,050 secretaries of primary
Komsomol organizations, 4,000 members of rayon, city, okrug, and oblast

given enou&h attention to careful selection of personnel for important
positions.
The ttrnover of leading personnel in the kray organization is
particularly great. In 1948, 214 workers on the staff of the Bray VIEW
Committee were removed, 18 of them because of Inefficiency. Ralf of those
who were shifted,, or removed had worked in their positions for no longer
than a year. Almost half of the Bomsomola in important positions in the
Eomaomol'sk city organization were shifted in 1948. Turnover of such
workers, as the non-staff directors of military and physical culture divi-
sions of rayon and city VIEW committees and pioneer leaders, has been
particularly great. The large turnover is the result of the failure on the
part of Komsomol leaders to work with their staffs, to improve the level
of work of their subordinates, many of whom are removed after their first
mistake. The kray Komsomol organization must strive to stabilize person-
nel in the chief posts.
Training of the reserve personnel in many committees consists only
of drawing up lists of reserves who are potential Komsomol leaders. The
duties of these workers are not clarified and they are of no real service
to the organization. It is important to have reserves of personnel and to
work closely with them.

more than 1,800 persons, many of whom are youths belonging to local nation-
alities. The condition of the political training program or youth has
been Improving since the last Komsomol conferences in the okrug. Political
training is particularly well organized in the village of Sedanka Koohevaya

in Tbilisi. However, the decree of the 17th plenum of TaN VLEBM regard-
ing reorganization of propaganda work has not been complied with fully.
There are shortcomings in the work of zany political study groups and
schools. This was clearly shown at the recent plenum of the Tbilisi
'Khmect-ol Committee. The quality of studies in some of the groups is un-
satisfactory, too much time is spent on a ,single program, and many
propagandists lack experience in Communist methods.
Paor reaulta i,- ?um of be,e groups are explained also by the lack of
sufficient textbooks, poor selection of propaganda personnel, and a lack
of support and supervision by Party organizations.
The 14th Congress of the HP(b) Georgia stressed the importance of
increasing Somsomol membership. At present, there are 721 city organiza-
tions in Tbilisi with 41;;448 Hoseomol members. Kozmomol membership has
increased, by 2,986, as compared with the first half of 1948, but dropped
off by 9,000 against 1940. This is a sign of poor educational work. In
December 1948, the leninskly B Ryon Committee admitted 145 new mambers to
the !romsamol, but only 24 of that number were vorkers.
