Sami Bahelli, secretary of the Presidium of the People's Assembly, ana-
lyzed the activities of the local authorities, in leadership and in applica-
tion of Soviet experience, in fulfilling the 1951 plan. He said that much
had been done in the democratization of councils and in the solution of the

many weaknesses, especially in organizational problems, which delayed harvest-
ing in various rreths; such weaknesses occurred in the local organization of
Durres, Lushbje, Fier, Elbasan, and KruJe.
After lively discussion of this speech, those present at the meeting
analyzed the weaknesses of their work through criticism and self-criticism,
exposing the factors which had produced the unsatisfactory situation in the
last-mentioned rreths. The good example of the executive committees of the
people's councils in Peshkopi and Magellare was cited by various speakers,
including Ahmet Perlaka, secretary of the Executive Committee of the People's
Council of Peshkopi.
The recent law No 1374 of 7 December 1951, approved by the Presidium of
the People's Assembly, was explained to those present, to give them a better
understamling of thi practio;al working of pe:;plc's councils.
Irfan Celkupa, Secretary-General of the Prime Minister's Office, spoke
in the need for vocational education 'ar cadres of local authorities. The
secretaries and section chiefs of exec..-ive committees of rreth people's
councils called attention to the value If meetings as seminars to analyze

ANALYZE FAULTS OF COFSUMERS' COOPERATIVE -- Tirana, Zeri I Popullit, 2 Feb 52
The Administrative Council, in a report before a recent meeting of the
Lusbnje Consumers' Cooperative, criticized the inspection and sales committee
for not meeting regularly in accordance with the by-laws. Because of lack of
teamwork, work had been Door.
Speakers claimed that the management, fearful because of its own mis-
takes, avoided holding meetings in order to escape criticism. The manager,
Jani Dashi, tried to make excuses for the poor management shown by shortages
of food and fuel supplies for the people.
It was pointed out that lack of cleanliness had forced the health depart-
ment to close some local cooperatives. Finally, the union organization and
the management were criticized for not educating the workers and developing
socialist competition among them.
