THE MILITARY DEPARTMENT OF THE POLISH PLANNING COMMISSIION (S)
Until the summer of 19579 the Military Department of the Planning
Commission was composed of/ the Office of the Chief of the Military
`Department and eight Sections;'-three concerned with supply; three
concerned with indust ; one concerned with investments; and one
other (see Annex A).
There were about-250 persons employed in the Military Department.
In 1957, the chief of the Military Department was Brig Gen WALUCHOWSKI,
(fnu). He had two titles8 Chief of the Military Department (Szef
Zespolu Wojskowego)g and Deputy Chairman of the,Planning Commission
(Zastepca Przdwodniczacego Komisji Planowania przy Radzie Ministrow).
Gen WALUCHOWSKI had one as4stant9 Col Graj WARONSKI, who was both
Assistant Chief of the Military-,Department ('Zastepca Szefa Zespolu
Wojskowego) and General Director in the Military Department of the
Planning Commission (Gener?alny Dyrektor w Zespole Wojskowym Komisji
Planowania).
The head of each of'the eight sections Y}ad the title of Director
(Kierownik) and were considered the same in rank as a director of
any civilian department. about 50 percent.of the
directors were civilian and the remainder were military (names and
ranks unknown). Besides the director in each section there were
about 30 employees. complete name of
one section o the Chemical and Electrotechnical Industry Section
(Dzial Przemyslu Chemicznego i Elektrotechnicznego).
The mission of the Military Department.of the Planning Commission was
to represent the military interests in all economic planning phases
of the government and to maintain close supervision over domestic
production and import to insure the fulfillment of military orders.
This close supervision was carried out by the eight sections and the
Military. Departments at lower echelons - within ministries and central

administrations. The Military Department of the Planning Commission
did not concern itself with the determination of military needs, but
only with procurement based on the Bill of the Council of Ministers
concerning the Supply of the Armed Forces (Uchwala Rally Mnistrow 0-
Dostawach dla Sil Zbrojnych). The only information about the deter-
mination-of military requirements was that it was the function of
some agency within the Rear Services (Sluzba glow) under the Ministry
of National Defense (MON).' The Military Department of the Planning
Commission received the determined needs of the military from MON in
letter form (List Zapotrzebowania)9 and used it as`a basis for its
demands before the. Planning Commission. After the Planning Commission
had reviewed the military demands and the civilian requests and made
its recommendations to the Council of Ministers; the Council of
Ministers acted on these recommendations, making them law. The law
or bill relating to the military was called the Bill of the Council
of Ministers Concerning the Supply of the Armed Forces. Once this
bill was passed,, it was the job of the Military Department of the
Planning Commission to keep close account of the fulfillment of the
terms of the billo
from_1948 to 1950, there were only 40 to 50 persons
in the Military Department of the Planning Commission. During this
time it was called a department (Departament Wojskowy) and was headed
by civilian engineer Fryderek TOPOLSKI. In 19519 this small depart-
ment was replaced by the larger organization (Zespol Wojskowy),,
headed by Brig Gen JAROSZEWICZ9 (fnu), who expanded the size to about
300 persons. After that time; however; there were several drives
to out the number of personnel employed in government administrative
work. By 19579 the number was reduced by one-sixth.
