First :wk-Reviews Past Tow -- Irasnoye 2neaaa, No 10s 13 Jan 49
A report made by A. P. Rata>i.oy, Secretary of the Primorskiy Hlray VIM
at the Fifth Conference of the Ekay lbaecsol Cc mitten reviewed the past year's
work of the orgmalzation. The work of improving Caumtmiet s+luoation of youth
was- of prima importance in the activities of titer 3cmeamol in 1948. The kray
now has 664 priwary political circles, 35 political schools, 288 political
oircles studying the biographies of Lenin end 8ti0in, and 111 political circles
studying the Shovt Ccnmee all the History of the 4]D' b . The Bray Committee,
however, boa n t made eusiiaient effo 4 to include EcanomDle' In the'traim-
ing program, so that 5,000 bo sole throughout the krey are not taking any
phase of political education.
Foraallea In the poli'4ioa1 education system In way-cases has resulted
in failw a to consider the political and general edueat!raisl backgrarid of the
students and &lso in boring RM uninteresting ootrees. The lay Co mitt. has
been unsuccessful in training Sasecmol propagandists and in organising lectures
and reports which, according to a resolution adopted in the Fourth Bray Laso-
mol Canleremoe, should be giveL no lose than once a month in each enterprise,
institution, and school. The kre.' has 5,130 Bamsaol agitators who were pea-
t1oularly active in the period prior to the elections to the people's courts.
The majority of city and rayon Xbos mol oasitteee are entirely too lax in
directing the work of agitators.
Serious oritiolme were directed against tbr, kray youth newspaper
Iikhoekeane>Qaomsomolete at the Fourth mrayy lomomol Conference last year.
The ]dray Kmemol tee and the editors of the newspaper since then have
taken measures to improve the paper. Now the paper to of great aid to the 13ray
Committee in Improving lbas m 1, organisations' work, In educating youths, and
in directing socialist oapetitione. Ratana7 outlined the deficiencies which
still ellst.

The report further criticized survivals of capitalism and subservience
to foreign thought which hasp~rsieted jr, ;^a lLamscml sections. The
majority of youth, however, are ocamended for Choir high moral character.
The report was next concerned with the organi?ationalpmoblems of the
Komsomol. and, the growth of membership since the Fourth Conference. The Bray
Committee has made a particular effort to set up Komsomol organizations on
kolkhozes. Only eight kolkhozes in the Dray do not have a Komsomol organiza-
tion. The growth of Komsomol membership among working youth, kolkhoz youth,
and particularly among students, has been slow and unsatisfactory. The work
of 293 Committees and secretaries of Komsomol organizations was claimed un.
satisfactory at recent meetings of the individual organizations. A consider-
able number of primary organizations did not admit any members in the last
half of 1948.
The serious decline in the Komsomol work in the schools and among teach-
ers and senior pioneer leaders is evidenced by the fact that 200 Komsomol
teachers have not completed secondary pedagogical education, two-thirds of
these are not studying now, and 71 out of 162 practising senior pioneer lead-
ers have not had secondary education.
Session. 13 January -- Kraenoye Znaagra, No 11, 14 Jan 49
Secretary Shtepa of the Voroshilov Railroad Terminal Committee of the
VT made the first report at the 13 January sesaion of the Fifth Primorskiy
hay Zmaxamsl'Conference. Shtepa criticized the Frimorekiy hay Kamssomol
Coasilttee for. its, failure to take interest in the activity of transport
Kq*s0~ol organizations. The hay Cmittee is at fault in the disruption of
the very important gathering of Stakhanovitee of the Primorekiy Railroad Sye-
tea in 1948. Shtepa also criticized the kray Kcmeonol newspaper Tikhookeanskiy
Komsmolets for not clarifying Kamsasol work in the city of Voros i
aand for
ging an extensive circle of writers in the cities and rayone of the
kray.
Vikhryan, Secretary of the Ruzhindkiy Railroad Terminal Camittee of the
VI..Beh(, reported that local Kmsmol committees and the hay Committee are not
putting enough pressure an directors of enterprises to improve living condi
bons for workers and to institute training for workers in general education night
schools. The kray Komsomol newspaper was again ariticizrud for falling to rR'ii
sufficient material on political education of youth. Silin, Secretary of the
Vladivostok City Caaittee of the VLM, criticized the personnel department of
the hay Committee for its failure to maintain high standards for kuasomol work-
ers: Six secretaries of rayon committees in the city of Vladivostok were re-
moveA in 1948 and many leaders are allowed to enter who am not qualified and
must be reawed after a short time.
Slcdkavioh, Doctor of Biological Sciences end Direoter of the Far East
Bass of the Aeadaq of Sciences USSR, s}oke of the wide interest among youths
in studying the kray's natural resources and in adopting the latest.achievemente
in biological and agrotechatoal sciences for the agriculture of the kray.
Slodkevioh reported that the Government has ordered the Far East Base to Insti-
tute an extensive admiseim of students as aspirants for degrees. The hay
Condit" of the VTR. should take active part in admitting the aspirants.
Delegate Shcherbakov told of the life of the Arne Kmeoaole, of their
aohievaasmts in militcr; and political training, and reported that cooperation
between the civilian end Arras lCmseuaols had been strengthened since the Foath
Conference last yeas.. There are still many rayons which do not have defense
groups, and the volunteer societies (D0SARM, D0B WT, DCSAV) are not suffi-
ciently active. There have been few lectures and reports an the Soviet Arne
in the kray. These conditions are the responsibility of the Military and
Physical Culture Division (director, Zyryanov) of the hay Komsomol Committee.

NOVOSIBIRSK OBLAST KOMOHOL HOLDS FIF'T'H CAE
24 Januarys Session -- Sovetskaya Sibir', no 16, 25 Jan 49
The Fifth Novosibirsk Oblast Conference of the VLE t began its sessions
on 24 January, the first oblast Komsomol conference in 21 years. Achieve-
ments of Individual Xonsaaols in industry and agriculture were cited. The
delegates sharply criticized the Oblast Committee and its directors for its
failure to work with the lower-level aomsomcl organizations and for their
bureaucratic method of operation. The Oblast Ccssittes is not efficient in
its direction of the admission of youths to the Komsomol. The delegates re-
ported that nearly 40 percent of the Komeaeol organizations in the oblast
failed to admit any members in the second half of 1948.
The Oblast Committee was also criticized for its inefficient leadership
in the political education program. The Eighteenth Plenum of the TeX VUMM
clearly defined the problem of political and ideological training of youth.
More than 30,000 Eomeaomols are now studying in the Komsomol education system,
but the general oondition of political training does not correspond to the
requirements put forth in the Eighteenth Plenum. Directors of rayon and city
Komsomol committees were also 9ritioi.sed by the delegates for their lack of
cooperation in the political education program. They pointed out that the
oblast Eossaaaol organizations contain many recently-admitted members who do
not have the necessary training. The problem of political training of Kossoaaols
was the pride topic of discussion.
25 January Session -- Sovetskaya sibir', No 17, 26 Jan 49
Ligaohev, Secretary of the Novosibirsk Oblast Committee of the VIEW,
reported, at the Fifth Oblast Conference of the UUM, that there are 29,512
Kaaseols working -:)n kolkhozes, sovkhaaes, and 4STSs of the oblast and that
860 Koasa of control posts are in operation in industrial enterprises. The
Kcrosonol organization aaaaitted 8,000 new members to Its ranks in the last 3
months of 1948. 1mn3' rayon Kaaacool organizations, however, such as in
Oyashinskiy, Eltirasukekiy, and other rayons, are not utilizing the political
and productive activity of youths and are inefficient in maintaining and in-
creasing Z msomol mmaberahip. T- 13ers in indsetry and agriculture are not
being accepted in sufficient n"iabers. Only 40.5 percent of the total member
ship in the ablas4 organization consists of workers and kolkhoz workers. The
number of Konsatiol political study circles and lectures for youth have in-
creased. As of 1 January 1949, there were 2,767 KoQSnomol-youth political
study circles in which 32,330 persons were given training. A total of 2,172
Kauemols are studying in nolfttcsl schools, 1,430 are independent political
students, ant 773 are studying in the Koms tol divisinns of rayon party schools.

1,375 Kcroscmole and nearly 500 nonunion youth attending.. The city organization
has taken in 1,41+5 new members since the last onference, but the growth of many
primary Betoec?ol organizations in un?4rprises has not been satisfactory. The
city committee is still allowing many working youth to remain outside the poli-
tical education system. More than 600 Kommsomols in enterprises are not taking
any kind of political training. More than one-half of the Komnnomole in the city
organization have a primary education, but only 500 students are attending night
schools.
The following were among those who gave reports at the conference: Pyzhov,
Secretary of the Chita Oblast Committee of the ~.ASM; Dubovoy, Chairman of the
Chita Soviet of Wor'are' Deputies; Vasil'yev, Secretary of the Chita City Com-
mittee of the VEP(b); and Voronov, Secretary of the Chita Oblast Committee of

Chita Oblast Conference -- Zabaykal'ekiy Raboohiy, No 14, 21 Jan 49
The Fifth Chita Oblast Komr,amol Conference opened on 20 January. The
following composed the presidium of the conference; G. I. Voronov and P. G.
Colubev, Secretaries of the Chita Oblast Committee of the VKP(b); K. A.
Koroteyev, Comandur of the Tranebaykal Military District; Pyzhov and Dmitriyev,
Secretaries of the Chita Oblast Committee of the VLESM; and others. In a re-,
port made by Pyzhov, Secretary of the Oblast Committee of the V1:&R4, it was
stated that the Oblast Committee had given muoh aid to agriculture in the oblast,
and had mobilized as many as 2,396 Komecmmole in cities and workers' settlements
to help with harvesting on kolkhozes last August. Komsomol organizations in
the oblaot, however, were criticized for not making suffioientl.y extensive use
of their right to control the activity of the kolkhoz administrations in those
kolkhozes where there is no party organization.
Much of the effort of the Komsomol organizations since the Fourth Oblast
Conference has been directed toward improving the political and ideological
training of youth. More than 500 Kcmecmola were recruited to undertake the
creation of a system of Kcesomol education and 740 party members offered their
,cervices as leaders of study groups, consultants, and lecturers. Eighty-five
percent of all Komsaols in the Oblast and 6,000 nonunion youth are taking po-
litical training at present. The Oblast now has 1,244 political study circles
and political schools, 15 rarca night poli..ioal schools, 32 per u neat summers
for propsipridiste, and 10 courses for directors of schools and study circles.
In addition, there are more than 3,000 Kammsamols studying in the party educa-
tion system, and 80 Kamsommols are making independent studies of Marxist-Leninist
theory. The Oblast also has 155 Komsomol teachers' organizations in which 1,279
Komsomol teachers are studying. In the period since the Fourth Oblast Confer-
ence, the Seaseaol organization has taknm'n 4,430 new members, and the number
of individual Komsomol er nizatioae having wall meruberahip ss been out down.
The oblast organization has not made enough effort to .::atoll Komsomol eamalt-
tees in all kolkhoz organizations and there are now 200 kolkhoz organizations
which do not have committees. Nearly 45 percent of all Komsomol organizations
in the oblast failed to increase their membership in the second half of 1948,
a condition which must be improved particularly in enterprises, railroad trans-

TJZBEK 0M0L REVIEWS PAST WORK -- Stalinekoye Znamya, No 8, 12 Jan 49
The Twelfth Congress of the Uzbek SSR Komsomol began on 10 January in Tash-
kent. The following composed the presidium of the Congress: 1. A. Lomakin, V.
A. Bylbas, To. A. Kabanov, M. 0. Vakhabov, I. Ye. Petrov, S. Nurutdinov, V.
Salykova, A. Kh. Khamidov, M. G. Chikovani, ra. S. Nasretdinova, B. A. Kaipov,
I. Azizov, Sh. Salyamova, and others. A. Hhamiclov, Secretary of the TeK ISM
of the Uzbek SSR, gave a comprehensive report on the work of the TeK LSSM of
the Uzbek SSR in the 2 years since the Eleventh Congress, Khamidov reported
that more than 21,000 young workers had graduated from Uzbek FZO, trade, and
railroad schools in the last 2 years, but also stated that r.h.. nelection of teach-
ere for the labor reserve schools has not been satisfactory and that production
training is elten carried out on a crude technical basis. The rural Komsomol
organization in the Uzbek SSR now has 140,000 members, with a Kcmsomol organi-
zation on all kplkhozes, MTSs, and sovkhozes in the Republic, The work of the
Komsomol organizations as a whole, has been unsatisfactory in directing social..
lot competitions among rural youths, in strengthening labor discipline, and in
educating young agricultural workers.
Although Komecmo1 organizations have made some improvement in organizing
political education of youths, they are still not meeting the requirements set
forth by the party and the Psi VIZ3M. More than 50,000 Komecmole had no po-
litioal training In 1947-48 iii the Republic. The Komsomol organizations have
not yet opened the Uzbek school for pioneer leaders which was decreed by the
Eleventh Congress. The Komsomol must increase its activity among the Uzbek
pioneer organizations, whose ranks now number 520,000 pioneers.
In the last 2 years, membership in the Uzbek Komsomol organizations has
increased by more than 130,000 persons, but the level of work in acme organi-
zations is still low.

propaganda is expanding. More than 350 lectures on party history and theory,
the politioal econaov of the USSR. and the current international situation have
been given since the beginning of the school year. Nearly 3,000 Communists

reoe:.ving continual aid in their studies from the City lecture bureau in the
House of Party Education, Kul'nevich cited in particular the well-organized
and high-level party education work carried on by party organizations in the
medical and pedagogical institutes and in the Plants imeni Kaganovich and imeni

PRIMORSKIY KRAY GROUPS CRITICIZED -- Krasnoye Znav`ya, No 294, 12 Dee 49
There are many serious deficiencies in the party education system in
Kalininskiy Rayon, Primorskiy Kray. The form of training for 55 members and
candidates of the party has not yet been determined, and other training pro-
grams In the system are not regulated according to the political and education
level of the Comuniets. Attendance at acne educational circles and political
eohoois does not exceed 50 percent and the method of taking attendance is in-
efficient. The circle for studying the Short Course on the History of the
VXP(b) in the, party organization of the Rayon Office of C mioations serves
as a good example to other study groups. Effective training both as propa-
gandist and as a student precedes each line of study in this circle. Every
student takes part in discussing the basic questions posed by the propagandist. The most serious deficiency in most study courses is the lack of discussion of
basic problems after the lecture has been delivered. Neither the primary party
organizations nor the group of consultants, created especially to aid the in-
dependent scholar of Marxist-Leninist theory, are in the bnbit of controlling
or extending aid to these independent students. Both independent and organized
party instruction suet be controlled more effectively and the party administra-
studying ir_ the University of Marxism-Leninism and in the rayon part, schools
has increased considerably, and 432 Ccuammiete in the oblast are studying in
the correspondenoe division of higher and secondary school institutions.
The TeX XP(b) at the emu time noted many serious deficiencies in the
party education system. Attendance at the night party schools in Leninekiy,
Xonyukiovekiy, and Prilahimskiy Rayone does not exceed 60-70 percent, and
durnakhanov, Secretary of the Sovetekiy Rayon Party Cctittee; Maksrov, Chief
of the Military Division of the laninekiy Rayon Party Committee; and other
directors have allowed interruptions in the course of study in circles and po-
litical schools. A considerable number of students at the University of
Marxism-Leninism in the Petropavlovsk City Party Committee have not been-con-
firmed and the seminar groups number as many as 80-100 students, with a sub-
sequent decrease in the quality of training. The TeX HP(b) stated that all of
these deficiencies in the education system are the result of the inefficiency
on the part of the first secretaries of the Oblast Coamittee and rayon cc nit-
ties. The TeX XP(b) decreed that the requirements for propagandists should be

A. Mavlyanov, Secretary of the Andizhan Oblast Ccmmittee of the KP(b) Uzbek
SSR, reported at the Second Oblast Party Conference that the party organization
in the oblast increased by 50 percent in the period between the first and second
Oblast Party Conferences. Among the new members, 64.2 percent are Uzbeks and
almost one third of those admitted as candidates to the VKP(b) are Xomsomols.
The proportion of Coomtunists who have higher and secondary school education in-
creased from 36.7 percent in February 1945 to 41.5 percent in January 1949.
The oblast, city, and rayon party committees have increased the network of pri
nary party organizations in the period from 1 January 1945 to 1 January 1949.
There were 574 primary organizations in the oblast on 1 January 1945, while
there are now 790 primary organizat0ne, with a particularly great increase in
the kolkhozea. In accordance with the Decree of the TeK V '(b) and the Soviet
of Ministers USSR of 3 February 1948, the oblast party organizations and the
Oblast Party Committee have made considerable efforts to strengthen the soviet
organizations and extend their field of activity. Many communists who have
bad long experience in party work have been sent to soviet organs. The staff
of the executive ooezbittee of the Oblast Soviet of Workers' Deputies has been
strengthened, with experioneed party workers; 174 of he .38 persons elected to
the staffs of pity and rayon executive committees are party members and candi-
dates to party membership.
The Oblast Party Committee now includes a Night University of Merriam-
Leninism, 26 rayon party schools, 264 political schools, and 96 study circles
or the Short Course on the History of the PXP(b), as well as nearly 600 party
members and o ida a ze party iesaberahip v ho are studying theory independently.
The chief failure of the party education system in the oblast is that almost
1,500 Cc?-miets are not taking political training at present. Attendance at
political schools and study circles hoe decreased in the first months of the
school year. The party organizations are also failing to carry out the decree
of the Eighteenth Plenum of the TeX KP(b) Uzbek SJR, which would ensure that
all workers in an administrative position who have not hod more than a pri-
nary school education should ocaplete general secondary school education in 3-4
years. According to this decree, the oblast party organizations Should have
538 Conisuniete studying in general education schools, while actually it has
only 175 at these schools and the attendance is irregular.

reported that as of 1 January 1949, the city party organization had more than
2,500 party members and candidates to party membership in its ranks, of which
almost half are young Communists who entered the party during the war years.
The majority of the Communists are now working in industrial enterprises, rail-
road transport, and cooperative and local industry. During the period 25
August 1947 - 1 January 1949, the party accepted nearly 150 persons for member-
ship from among the beat vorkors, engineers, and technicians, and Intelligentsia.
It meet be pointed out, however, that the growth of the party membership from
among leading workers and engineers, etc., has been very slow in some cases.
The party organization at O1_ Plant No 6, Sawing Factory No 9, and other enter-
prises did not take any members into its ranks during that period, and the party
organizations at the "gemaunar" Plant, the cannery and the locomotive depot took
in only one member each.

Leninism, 218 are in the'bity party 'school, nearly 500 in the political schools,
and nearly 600 party members and party candidates are studying the Short (;oin-

at present is to see that all Commniniste are included in political education.

must be discussed in the sessions of the party bureaus or general party assem-
blies. The enitre party educational system is working on a now program this
