Radiofication in the Uzbek SSR Is behind schedule, although the number of
wired radio relay centers is 2.2 times greater than in 1940, and three times
greater in the countryside. To meet growing demands, the government of the
Uzbek SSR has planned the complete radiofication of the republic by 1955. A
beginning has been made in 1951, particularly in the kolkhoz villages. On
1 October 1951, the annual plan for the growth of the means of radiofication
in Fergana Oblast had been fulfilled 102 percent; the full utilization of wired
radio relay centers is being reached. All other oblasts, except Andizhan
Oblast, which has fulfilled its yearly plan, are lagging behind, even though
they possess all the means for radiofication.
No work has been done on the radiofication of kolkhozes in Kara-Kapalk
ASSR, and work is slow in Samarkand, Bukhara, Khorezm, and Surkhan-Darya
oblasts. Wired radio relay enters are not adequately used. For example,
the wired radio relay center in Koshrabad, Samarkand Oblast, is used only 5
percent. The same situation prevails to a great extent in Gallya-Aral'skiy
and Bulungurskiy rayons. Wired radio relay centers in Namagan Oblast would
permit almost twice the number of wired radio speakers, but the managers of
the oblast office of communications do not fully exploit all opportunitiaa.
The supply of speakers and radio materials is inadequate. The plan for
the delivery of speakers in the Uzbek SSR was fulfilled only 60 percent in .he
first three quarters of 1951. Trading organizations are obligated to supply no
lees than 30,000 loud-speakers and 20,000 power packs for battery receivers by
the end of 1951. The operation of wired radio relay centers has been inade-
quate, and not enough persons haoe been available for the operation and repair
of radio equipment.(5)
The Kazakh SSR is behind other regions of the country in rural radiofica-
tion; there are only hundreds of wired radio relay centers in the countryside,
when there should be thousands. The 1951 plan for installing new wired radio
speakers in the countryside has only been half fulfilled. Radiofication embraces
only 20 percent of the kolkhozes and 10 percent of the settlements. Radiofica-
tion of 172 kolkhozes has beer, carried out in 1951. There is an inadequate
supply of speakers, receivers, and power pack receivers, while at the same time
Kazporebsoyuz is unable to yell 16.000 crystal receivers. Radiofication
includes only a few kolkhozes in Korchetav Oblast, where it has been extended
to two additional kolkhozes in .951.
The radiofication of North Kazakhstan Oblast stands in contrast to the
rest of the republic, because of the energetic action of the party and the gov-
eriheAt. The 1951 plan has been fulfilled 161 percent, 23 wired radio relay
centers have been built, and kolkhoz workers have obtained 663 radio receiv-
ers.(6)
