1. In connection with 1955 investment plans drawn up for enterprises under the
control of the Bast German Ministerium fuer Schwerindustrie (Ministry of Heavy
Industry) (MfSch), it was proposed in early April 1954 that the following invest-
ments should be made:
843,000,000 DMZ - Bereich (production area) Xohle (coal)
335,000,000 DMB - Bereich Bnergie (power) 25X1
200,000,000 DM1 - Bereich Chemie (chemistry) (round figures; actually this
proposal was a little more)
70,000,000 DMZ - Zentrale Bbens (centrally controlled agencies, such as the
Deutsche Handelszentrale (DHZ), technical schools, universities,
institutes, etc.)
25X1
As of early April, no proposals had been submitted for Bereich Metallurgis.
2. According to directives issued by the Staatliche Plankomission (State Planning
Commission) (StPlk) the investment plane suggested by the MfSch for 1955 are not
to exceed a total of 1,500,000,000 DMZ. large-scale projects of the MfSch must
not be included in the investment plans for 1955. Since the proposals by the
coal and power production areas represent absolute minimums, source believed
that further reductions, if at all, could only be made by the chemistry and
metallurgy production areas. The amount of money provided for the construction
of power plants would make possible an increase of the power output by
580,000,000 watts in 1955.
