Effective 1960, the division is supposed to take up production of diesel engines. Division 3 -- Production of railroad cars Division 4 -- Production of all types of machine tools Division 5 -- Foundry Division 6 -- Production of technical and optical measuring instruments, hardening of steel, chrome plating. Division 7 -- Production of heavy-caliber machineguns (CKK); type Goryunov 70 spare parts for this type are only being exchanged from existing stocks and some modification is being done; henceforth, only the improved type 71 machinoguns will be produced. the Type 71 gun has considerably more component parts, has an improved barrel, and the production costs are also much higher than for Type 70. The gun is loaded by means of a belt. The factory plans to produce 24,000 of these guns annually; this quota is expected to be attained, judging by existing quotas. Furthermore, the division is producing tank tracks and machine gun mounts for tanks. These products are classified as No. 72, and appear in the enterprise's secret files under the designation "AK 72." Division 8 -- Production of cartridge cases for guns ranging from carbines to heavy artillery. Some of these are filled with powder and equipped with fuses delivered from elsewhere.

STATE ) TAL Icy PLANT (F LY, H. CEGIELSKI), POZNAN, NR...219:.STREET; DZIERZYNSKIEGO The State Metal Industry Plant in Poznan processed metal before the war when it was called the "H. Cegielaki" Plant. Since then, the plant has not been expanded or modernized to a great extent. the entire plant complex covers about 240,000 square meters. The total number of workers is about 13,000, of which about 2,000 are white- collar workers or professional staff. One can attain a higher position in the enterprise if one is a member of the Communist Party. Thus, there were department heads who barely had intermediate training, but were members of the party. For example, the Director of the Planning Department was allegedly in Russia for a long time where he might well have been active as a secret agent ("Geheimer"). About 30 percent of the administrative personnel are members of the party, and about 30 percent of the young workers are members of the Z) (Association of Socialist Youth). Party meetings are held twice a month, and workers attend them reluctantly or not at all.

Moreinka Street, employed about 2,000 workers (20 percent of whom were women), about 130 technical employees, and 220 administrative employees. The factory is under the central administration in Gliwice which in turn is under the direct jurisdiction of the Ministry of Machines in Warsaw. The Lower Silesian industrial plants were expanded under the Six-Year Plan (1949-1955), and new installations, such as a modern foundry, storage and administrative buildings, were set up. Thus, the enterprise was included as a so-called "S" enterprise (of special importance) in 1952, which resulted in a wage increase at the plant and in preferential delivery of raw materials. There is a great lack of trained technical workers, and as a result, wages for such workers are often higher than those for department heads. (One such installation is being built for China at the present time, for which the designs and plans were delivered by the USSR).

In each province capital (in Opole for the central Silesian provinces) such an office was established, which, in turn, set up branches in larger cities. On the basis of a law on the above subject, each factory and each new technical installation planned for construction must have so-called "Documentation" before construction or operation can be started. The task of the engineering office is to complete all the necessary drawings and plans and to estimate costs. Orders are accepted only at the main office in Opole which then ohknuels them to the various branch offices. An order given to the branch office was always scheduled for a set time of completion and deadlines could often not be met. this situaion was caused by the fact that primarily nonspecialists were employed in the main office in Opole. As a result, there was often heated disagreement between the engineers and the branch office head on the one hand, and between the branch office head and the directorate in Opole on the other hand. Late deliveries were blamed on the "lack of supervision by the branch office head" or even on sabotage.. the engineers employed there were all non-party members.

Two state board examinations (one in economics and [one in] plant cultivation) are taken after eight semesters of study before the diploma in agriculture is awarded, enabling a graduate to become administrator on a state farm or an "agronomist" who supervises several farms. Such a trained agriculturalist may continue studying for an additional two semesters at the university, after which he may receive a master's diploma (Diplom-Magister) in a specialized branch. ~J AI T Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/05/06: CIA-RDP80T00246AO39900970001-3 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/05/06: CIA-RDP80T00246A039900970001-3 5 Personalities Rector: Tfu Prof Dr Aleksander TICHOWSKY Professors of Economics: Prof Dr Bogdan KOPEC; Plant Cultivation: Prof Dr Antoni WOJTYSIAK Animal Husbandry: Prof Dr Tadeusz KONOPINSK Fruit Cultivation: Prof Dr N.

Exact address is not known. The above plant in Wrocl$i consists of three large plant installations, one of which is solely a military equipment production center, is heavily guarded, and not accessible to workers from the other departments. The second installation is used as a repair shop, and the third produces only radio receivers for civilian use. The third installation manufactures radio sets with 3-7 tubes for all transmission ranges and voltages, as well as ultra-short-wave equipment. The radios are equipped with only one loudspeaker in all cases. All products have Russian tubes, although the rest of the material is of Polish origin. The radios are usually sent to Warsaw where they are offered for sale through retailers at prices ranging from 900 to 2,000 zloty. About 2,000 persons )of whom about half are women, are employed in the plant; 25 percent of the workers are party members. Open political activity is not apparent at the plant; only Party members participate in weekly closed meetings. Wages range from 900 to 1,100 zloty a month, and a technician earns only 1,100 zloty per month. The annual vacation amounts to 3 weeks, and management determines when it shall be taken. An.8-hour work day is adhered to with no overtime allowed or paid for. s NO N G'*h 1~L Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/05/06: CIA-RDP80T00246AO39900970001-3 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/05/06: CIA-RDP80T00246AO39900970001-3 The plant director, an active party member, died in 1955 and has been replaced by a new director. University Study in Wroclaw Proof of Communist Party membership is no longer (since Gomulka became head of the state a year ago) compulsory for admission to Wroclaw University. Acceptance requirements include completion of the "Matura" (Maturity) and a qualifying examination, although neither of these requirements are valid unless one has been recommended. There are always more students applying each year than there are places available. Eighty students were enrolls in the law department for the first semester. Czechs were also registered at Wroclaw as regular students. Scholarships are generally given only to politically organized applicants, who are chosen by a commission of representatives from the particular department (Fakultaet), consisting of a Communist Party representative, a representative of the student association, and a member of the newly-founded socialist youth organization. Scholarships are the same in all cases, amounting to a monthly allotment of 300 zloty the first year, 350 zloty the second and third years, and 400 zloty the fourth year. A small student home (for about 80 students) is connected with the university where only a few of the students who live outside Wroclaw are quartered.
