INDUSTRIAL EXPANSION IN HUNGARY, POLAND, AND RUMANIA
CEMENT PLANTS BEING BUILT IN HUNGARY -- Paris, La Journee du Batiment,
11 Sep 53
It is estimated that Hungary's 1954 cement production will reach
2,100,000 tons, as compared to 342,000 tons in 1938. To meet the needs of
the huge construction program, the cement plants of Laoatlan and Belapatfalva
have been enlarged and re-equipped, while construction of the cement plant at
Vac on the Danube, which will be the largest in Central Europe, is being
rushed. A cement plant is also being built at Hejocsaba, in the center of
the Miskoloc industrial region. The plant, to be finished this year, will pro-
duce over 100 carloads of cement per day. A 6-kilometer-long cable-way has
been built to carry limestone and marl from the Bukk Mountains to the plant.
Granulation plants set up near the blast furnaces near Diosgyor will
transform the slag from the foundries, previously considered useless waste,
into raw material essential in the manufacture of certain cements.
LARGE THEM-ELECTRIC POWER PLANTS TO OPERATE IN POLAND -- Warsaw, Folks-Sztyme,
12 Sep 53
The steam-electric power plant in Zeran suburb of Warsa], one of the
largest power projects of the Six-Year-Plan, will begin its operations in
1954. This modern plant will be the first of a series of future enterprises
to supply Warsaw with power, hot water for heating apartments, and steam for
industrial requirements.
Mostostal workers are in.the last stages of assembling the mobile structures
of the main building of this power plant, which will house the boiler division,
the machihe division, the electtofiltering division, and a number of other
installations.' During the past 6 years, about 3,000 tons of steel structures
have been set up here.

Soviet builders have designed the project, and Soviet building experts
are acting as consultants in the construction work. Moreover, Soviet special-
ists are assisting the Polish worke.s' cooperatives in assembling the boilers
and turbines. The USSR has supplied most of the high-speed machines and
installations for this plant.
MIECHOWICE POWER PLANT SCHEDULED TO OPERATE THIS YEAR -- Warsaw, Folks-Sztyme,
17 Sep 53
The Miechowice power plant, one of the largest in Poland, is scheduled to
start operations this year. This plant, equipped with a number of large turbines,
will assure power to the area's mines and other industrial enterprises. The
assembly work of the plant is almost complete. At present, the finishing touches
are being put on the last turbine and the high-pressure boilers.
DEVELOPMENT OF CHEMICAL PRODUCTION IN RUMANIA -- Paris, L'Industrie Chimique,
Sep 53
The Rumanian chemical industry currently meets 70 percent of Rumania's
dye needs and is expected to meet all needs in 2 years. Pharmaceutical output
has increased tenfold since 1950. Production of tannin and resin started
recently. Production of nitrogenous fertilizers is expected to be undertaken
in early 1954.
