Artels for the distillation of resin, manufacture of turpentine, and prep- aration of charcoal are in operation at 114 places in the republic. In 1952, workers of these artels provided the country with hundreds of tons of products. In 1953, prndnction of wood chemical products in to increase con- siderably. New resin distillation equipment Is to he put in operation in the Medvezh'yegorsk and Segezha areas and in the vicinity of Petrozavodsk.

More than 10,000 cubic meters of timber above plan were shipped Oblast to the great construction projects.(3) Geian SSg A new furniture combine was under constructed in Tbilisi in March 1953; first shops were expected to begin operations during 195. This combine is to be the largest furniture enterprise in the republic. A new factory is also to The Georgian SSR furniture industry has increased its productive capacity considerably. A new shop for the production of furniture accessories has been built at the Tbilisi Plywood Plant. The Batumi Plywood Plant, where period ng produced, has been enlarged considerably. The rn err- prises prises of the republic are being supplied with the newest ctnteequipment. enter- Drying devices, polishing machines, and other types been in- stalled in the shops.

However, the factory does not meet even half of the demand for furniture, espe- cially chairs, made upon it. The principal, reason for this is a lack of plan- ning in supplying the factory with rev materials. This results in uch lost time, reduced labor productivity, and Increased cost of Production.' The factory has a yearly product?.on capacity of 2.70,000 cha..rs alone, and upon completion of reconstruction work in 1954 will be able to produce up to 200,000.(16) RSFSR of th Udtmu-tskaya ASSR have chipped construction timber to more than a thousand projects. Every day, Timber managements trains loaded with first-class timber leave the 30 loading points in the republic for various parts of the country. j Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/02/08: CIA-RDP80_00809A000700130387-7 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/02/08: CIA-RDP80-00809A000700130387-7 Udmurt timber has been shipped to such great projects as the Tsimlyanskaya. Kuybyshevskaya, and Stalingradskaya GES projects as well as the r j t t , p o ec a Takhia-Tash. The timber managements of the republic completed the first-quarter 1953 plan for loading of timber intended for the Kuybyshevskaya GES project about 20 March; more than 450 carloads of telegraph poles, ties, and other high- quality timber were dispatched to this project.(17) A new shop has been established at the Novo-Lyalya Paper Combine; it uti- lizes lumber and pap,:' production waste in the manufacture of wood fiber boards. The shop has rlready shipped eight carloads of wood fiber boards to the Main Turkmen Canal project.(18) The Leningrad Papermaking Equipment Factory imeni Vtoroy Pyatiletki has just celebrated its 100th anniversary. Before the Revolution, it was a small enterprise producing cast-iron products, scal:s, beds, and safes; now, the fac- tory is equipped with first-class Soviet-made lathes and machines. The workers of the factory were pioneers in the building of Soviet paper- making machinery. During the period of the Stalin five-year plans, they built numerous complex machines for producing different types of paper, artificial leather, and cellophane. In 1951, the factory built two of the first Soviet- made machines for the manufacture of cigarette and other fine papers. The production of machines for the film industry and for manufacturing corrugated cardboard and fine papers is on the factory's program for 1953?(19) Timber Industry Worker Production Data At the Krasnovskiy Lespromkhoz of the Onega Timber Trust, labor produc- tivity rose sharply during the first quarter 1953. Felling production per man-day amounted to 3.8 cubic meters, as compared with a norm of 3.5 cubic metero; tractor skidding production per machine-shift was 51.1 cubic meters an compared .rith the plan figure of h5 cubic meters. At the Syavski.y Lespromkhoz, during February, average production per man- day for sorting and loading was 25.3 cubic motors of timber, as compared with a norm of 20 cubic meters. At the Kerchevskiy Reyd (Roadstead) of the Kamlesosplav (Kama Timber Floating) Trust, the brigades headed by Stest:kin, Petrunenko, Kovtun, and Cor- deyev have regularly flcated from 2,000 to 2,500 cubic meters of timber and on some days as many as 3,000 cubic meters, as compared with a norm of 1,580 cubic meters. 20) Machine productivity is very low at enterprises of the Kotlas Timber Trust. Skidding production of a KT-12 tractor per machine?sh.ift averages only 22.5 cubic meters, as compared with a norm of 27 cubic meters; sl:iddin production of a TL- 3 ,.inch per shift averages only 24.3 cubic meters, as Compared with a norm of 30 cubic meters.(18) During the first quarter 1953, each locomotive at the Dere~ryanskiy Leeprom- khoz of the Southern Karelian Timber Trust hauled 11,240 cubic meters of timber, as compared with a norm of 10,000 cubic rreters.(21) A. A. 'hukov, winch operator of the Yurinski^ Lespromkhoz, Mari Timber Trust, skids in average of 46 cubic meters of timber, as compared with a norm of 27-30 cubic meters.(22) Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/02/08: CIA-RDP80-00809A000700130387-7 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/02/08: CIA-RDP80-00809A000700130387-7 SOURCES 1.
