G01 OFFERS INCENTIVES To ATTRACT WEST GR i kN SCIENTISTS
The Soviet authorities remanded a 1952 budget of at least 280 million Deutsche
marks for scientific research in the GDR, including investments for fields of research
in which scientific experts are not yet available in Soviet one Germany. The Bureau
for Research and Technologic was charged with bringing such experts to the GDR from
West Germany. The Soviet Control Comsdssion's representatives demanded greater
financial support for research operations, so that attractive prospects could be
offered to '/ast German eaxperts. Whereas in the ptst the. heads of research institutes
verb required to account to the Finance Ministry every three months for funds expended,
in future financial responsibility will be vested in the research scientists theriselves,
who will n have to submit financial accountings until after the completion of their
projects.
Officials of the Bureau for Research and Technology protested
that expenses. scientists
had used the funds placed at their disposal for defraying person
a number of concrete examples, the officials opposed approval of such outlays. The
Soviet Control. Comnission'e representatives, on the otter hand, felt that such trifles
mast be overlooked and that everything possible must be done to retain the services of
the remaining scientists. The GDR is to be made independent of West German research
in 1952/1953. Individual plants whose economic plans include research budgets are
to be instructed to increase such budgets by at least 50 percent compared with 1951.
