Fulfilment of the Land Tht'trin~;en 1950 Pr.oduvtion Plan,
1.
Mi~,g,.
In comparison with the first half-year of 1950, the production
of crude lignite and peat shaved a. tendency to fall off. The planned
figures vrere, however, achieved, Overfulfilment vras paxticul.arly
noticeable in the production of "IVasspr~ssstein`?, and in the mining
of manganese concentrates
The fluorspar and heavy spar minas are exhausted,
fIeavy_ and Li,~tiht Machine Construetian,
The production programme was broadly fulfilled. Underfulfilment
applied to the following items: spare parts for boilers and S,C. engines
o;~her tool grinding machines, other presses, blast-furnage equipment,
and spare parts for lifting and loading equipment.
The planned figures for milling and stamping machznes, footweax
and weaving needles could not be reached owing to the lagk of corresponding
imparts.
It was not possible to make adequate supplies of seamless and
welded tubes available for sp~~.re parts for pumps and oompressors, Vary
little production facilities oxe available for the output of 0 -~ 100
ton hydraulic teases other metallurgical equipment, bronze 50X1-HUM
f3.ttin~s and presses, 50X1-HUM
It w~.s also impossible to produce adequate quantities of equ~.pment
for dairies, welding burners, and oxygen oompressors due to 3siadegi~~te
sup~lie s of non-ferrous metals.
3. Vehicles.
Actual production exceeded the planned figures by 67ib, 1n spite
of this the outlook for the production of spare parts for ro.ilway vehicles
and tractors is extremely limited,
~.} Metal Goads,
The fulfilment of the items metal mesh., welding eZectrodesF screws,
nuts, metal beds etc, was not attained, curing in particular to a shox'tage
of ferrous and non-ferrous wire and steel tubes.
5.
Electrioa.l E~ineerin~;.
Owing in psrtioular to a shortage of ?'Dynamo sheet", z3.no sheet and
copper, the planned. output of disconnecting-switches, eaectxo-ureters, measuring
instruments, batteries and elements was not reaehed~ There is an accumulation
of electric ovens,.

The plan was almost 100F,% fulfill.ed~ but the target tiaas not achieved
with regard to insectiea.des, animal glees, phatagraphic and oinemato~aph3.a
films owing to the insufficient supplies of suoh important raw matera.alg
as zinc phosphate, silver, fine and special paper, soaap leather and banes
There was an aeaumulation of materials for match manufacture.
In the case of soap and cosmetics there ,ay,?g ~~e3 dif'fi,c~.tl~3~,a. ~.
restrictions on the sale of soap were la.fted, the position would improvo.,
There is still an accumulation of fine soaps,

The reason for the underfulfilment lies partly in sales difficulties
for certain dis:3nfeotants and partly in a shortage of important tinctures
and various drugs,

'; The ,planned figures could not be reavhed awing to a shar~tage of
synthetic and n~^tural rubber,,.

Tire prod~~~.ction targ~:ts for hollow brinks, pantiles, grooved tikes
(Falzziegeln), dra~.n-;~ ~~pes were not reached It is recommended that the
prod,?u:tion of p~uitiles and grooved tiles be increased at thn expense t~f
flat ti~~.es (Bie'ae.rsehw'~.zza), Ooncrete products were underfulfilled owing
to an extxemeJ~ sir~.l1 allocation of Dement. In general it may be said
tl~~.t tie 7u~.~~~~:rfulfilmer~t was due to inadequate supplies of coal,

Ow:ir~g to poor- coal distributions the production of glass shows a
tendency to fall Seve.ra_l gglass-works were obliged to #'eed oald air
into the furnaces (kilt sch(ren) or corm to a standstill.. Owing to a
shortage of ;.,~ mm~ sheet and quicksilver the 100% fulfilment of thsrmQs
flaslcs and. technical thermometers was not achieved,

production of woven worsted was 3 ~ underf'uZfi.lled, diffioulti.es being
caused by lack of c:nrding space, and the tardy delivery of varieties,
