1, A report regarding the supply of ores, scrap,and fireproof materials was submitted
to the Foundry Department of the Central Committee of the "LPR, which is headed '
by Engineers Krajewski and Sawicki. These materials will be in short supply in
19530
2, The imports of ores are insufficient; though they may cover current requirements
and consumption in 1953, stocks at the end of that year will suffice for only
two months of 1954. Therefore, requirements for 1954 must be covered by imports,
3; A shortage of certain materials in 1953 will undoubtedly hinder production; The
supply of scrap material and the production of pig iron are insufficient. The
situation can only be saved with imports, but the authorities do not know where
to obtain them.
The requirements and supplies of fireproof materials, in tons, are as follows:
