1. The KKPs are faced with important tasks in connection
with the implementation of the exceedingly numerous and varied
problems discussed by the XIII Plenum of our Party.
2. The general aim which the Plenum placed in front of the
Party as the vanguard of the working class consists of an
ideological offensive and a more intensive and effective
imparting of socialist consciousness to the working class and
to the whole nation.

3. "This means", said Comrade GOMULKA in his speech at
the Plenum, "the spreading of Marxist-Leninist ideology and
of socialist ethico-moral principles in human relationships,
the cultivation of a new attitude to the State, work and
social property, and the formation of a new, socialist image
of national culture".
4. The moulding of socialist consciousness is the most
important, and at the same time the most difficult, task.
It can be performed by. a Party closely-knit ideologically and
concentrating in its ranks members actively influencing
society.
5. A Party member cannot mould the consciousness of his
environment in a socia] st spirit if he himself does not
understand the essence of socialism, if he does not believe
in the correctness of the path chosen by the Party, or if his )*\'
words are at variance with his acts.
6. This does not mean that the Party should receive only
those who have a perfect understanding of Marxist-Leninist
ideology. It does mean, however, that our Party concentrates
in its ranks members who eccept the programme and the Statutes
of the Party, and who agree with its strategy and tactics and
with its political line. Highly incorrect, and even
detrimental, is the view expressed by certain Party members
that it is sufficient for a Party member to be good at his job
and to do his work properly . 'This "theory" does not
recognize the importance of ideological consciousness and of
a political attitude in moulding social life as a whole, and
it allocates a passive role to Party members, depriving their
actions of all ideo-political substance. The Party cannot
agree with such an interpretation of the matter. To do work

properly ie the duty of every enlightened citizen, while a
Party member must not only himself work well in his profession,
but must influence positively the work being performed by
others round him. In addition, he should also perform other tasks
imposed on him by the Party. To influence non-Party people
means not only to give them an example by one's awn
/behaviour. It means also that one should convince them of
the correctness of this behaviour and of the political line
of the Party as a whole, combat reactionary propaganda,
indicate the final aim of the forces fighting for peace and
socialism and the individual's place in the implementation of
this aim. There cannot, therefore, be any tolerance towards
a contemptuous attitude on the part of Party members to the
carrying-out of Party tasks or to the raising of their
political level.
7. Political work among Party members assumes particular
importance at the present time in the involved international
situation and the exceptionally complicated atmosphere of
differenees in the international communist movement. ,This
situation cannot be completely clear to everyone.
8. One should, however, differentiate between those Party *\,
members who do not understand particular problems or actions
of the Party, and those who do not agree with the Party line,
oppose everything which is being done by the Party and its
leadership, engage in work harmful to the Party, and spread
rumours of various kinds. In their passion, they often take
up hostile positions, infringing the Statutes and Party
diseipline.

or fail to understand) we should employ various forms ,of.,

political-educational work, in respect of the latter, who are
in opposition, who combat Party policies, we should apply
far-reaching Party consequences. We cannot permit them to
disorganize the ranks of our Party and to hinder the march
towards socialism.
10. In May, 1963, the Adjudicating Team of the ClaP
decided to expel Marek IMMERGLuK from the Party for "spreading
defeatism and lack of faith in the Party, for slandering the
leadership of the Party and the Government, and for hostile
statements undermining the policies of the Communist Pc.rty
of the Soviet Union LC-PSLT7. In applying the highest Party
penalty, the Adjudicating Team took into acoount the enormous
political harm which is done to the Party by irresponsible
gossip, the dissemination of rumours, and the propagation of
an alien ideology".
11. The unity of the Party and the strength of its influence
should be increased in particularly difficult moments - When
the international situation is tense or when there are
temporary economic difficulties. Reactionary propaganda
usually makes use of such difficulties for spreading confusion
and panic. This happened for example in the Spring, in
connection with the Government decision to increase the price"
of coal and to raise the charges for gas and electricity. A
hostile attitude towards these decisions was expressed by
certain elements through the writing of libels 5aszkwil47
and leaflets. The WKKP at Bialystok reports that a hostile
libel was being disseminated in the voievodship. . The libel
was copied and passed on mainly in white-collar workers'
groups. The WKKP established that a number of Party members,
instead of opposing and combating the reactionary propaganda,

actually assisted in, or facilitated, the dissemination of
the hostile libel. Another part of the Party members, who
had come into contact with the harmful activities of the
libellers aszkwilang, failed to adopt a firm attitude
towards them.
12. The WICKP had several conversations with these Comrades,
and the matter was submitted to POP meetings, at which, on the
whole, all Party members took a healthy view of the matter by
imposing penalties appropriate to the guilt of each Comrade.
The most important fact, however, was this, that the
discussion of the matter at the POP meetings had an
educational effect on the guilty Comrades, who felt their
guilt more deeply, and on the remaining members of the PCPs,
who understood more clearly how a Party member should behave.
The Comrades did not limit themselves to a mere discussion of
the above fact. Attention was also paid both to the attitude
of those Party members who knew of the dissemination of the
libel but did not react, and to the incorrect behaviour of
those who, when amongst non-Party people, not only do not
react to various rumours and irresponsible gossip but often
add their own comments on the matter, or who keep quiet,
trying not to reveal their membership of the Party and failing
to defend its attitude. This is a defensive attitude, a
desire to "conform" to the environment, and to win the
approval of alien elements. It is at the same time a loss
of vigilance and of the image of a Party member.
13. Conditions for the shaping of new ethical principles
in human relationships, for the dissemination of a socialist
attitude towards the State, work and social property, were
created by our system itself. In a socialist system, the

raising of the standard of living of society, of every 2
individual, depends to an increasing degree primarily on the
development of the entire social economy. A man is
respected not for his financial situation, but for his work,
for his attitude in his social and private life.
14. It must be stated that enormous changes in this
direction have taken place in the consciousness of our
society. It should not be thought, however, that such
changes take place automatically, together with the
development of a socialist economy. They are in fact, to a
very large extent, the result of considerable work of
education and enlightenment, carried out by the Party. One
'cannot, however, comfort oneself with the thought that
everything has already been done in this direction. It is
not so. The struggle for the development of the consciousness
of society in a socialist spirit calls for persistent and
prolonged effort.
15. There are still too many old traditions and oustoms in
individual sections of our society, clericalist and
nationalist stratifications, signs of snobbery, egoistical
attitudes, indifference and unconcern towards the interests
of the people as a whole. These features will not disappear'
60 quickly, and the straggle with them is not easy. A part
of society is still firmly imbued with the idea that social
property belongs to someone else, so that there is no concern
for its safety, and there are even cases of wastage and theft.
16. Success in the struggle for a socialist consciousness
depends above all on the behaviour and work of Party members.
17. There cannot be any achievements in a factory or in a
village where the Party organization pays no attention to the

problem of the ideological level and the education of its
members.
18. Such facts, unfortunately, do take place. The WICKP
at Wroclaw, in consultation with the Organization Section of
the KW, has carried out an investigation into whether, and
how, the POPs take an interest in the moulding of the ethical
and ideological attitude of Party members and their attitude
towards work and social property. It turned out that in the
128 PCPs which were investigated, 70 per cent. of all the
questions discussed at meetings were devoted to production?
organization-matters, 20 per cent. to general political
problems (the international situation, the elections), and
only 10 per cent, to ethical problems, relations in the
factory, etc.
19. It is evident that one oannot separate production
questions from education work, since the entire political
activity of the POPs must be closely bound up with the
implementation of production tasks. However, the data
quoted above show the extent of the interest taken by POPs
in the question of the behaviour of Party members and their
attitude to work discipline and social property.
20. All is not well in this sphere. Recently, State and
social organs of control have established facts of intolerable
infringements of Government rules and regulations by
individual factories and institutions, an absence of discipline,
high absenteeism, and wasting of social property. In these
factories, some Party members not only do not combat behaviour
of this sort, but themselves infringe socialist legality and
work discipline. Yet a Party member who himself does not
observe discipline and the principles of socialist behaviour

cannot exert educational influence on his environment.
21. For this reason, Party. Control Commissions should take
an interest in the question why, for example, Party members
who are part of the management of a factory do not observe
financial discipline, do not fight for the observance of work
discipline in the factory, permit inexcusable absenteeism,
why Party members allow themselves to infringe work discipline
and to adopt a careless attitude towards social property, why
the POPe fail to struggle for a change in this state of
affairs.
22. The need here is above all for educational work:
conversations with Party members, with the management of the
place of work, with the Party executive and committees. There
is a need for initiating and sharing in controls in connection
with those problems*, etc. There is a need also for taking
Party disciplinary measures against those guilty.
23. As a result of a letter from the KO to the First
Secretaries of the KWs and a resolution of the Council ot'
Ministers, since the 23rd July, 1963 controls have been
conducted of the observance by individual institutions of
financial discipline, economy, and work discipline. An
important part in this campaign should be played by the KK2s,
which should draw the appropriate conclusions from the results
of the work o2 the controlling teams. For this reason, it
would be desirable if members of the KKPe participated in the
special sessions of the Kas orkers' Self?Government
Committee g devoted to the results of the work of the
oontrolling teams.
24. There are still among us those who hanker after a life
of luxury and getting rich quick at the expense

This has a demoralizing effect not only on specific groups of
our society, but also on some Party members. Those who
yield to the temptation are Party members who have no strong
ties with the Party, or who have lost such ties, persons who
possess no ideological armour, careerists.
25. In September, 1963, the Adjudicating Team of the CKKP
decided to expel from the Party Alexander TALERING, for his
attitude which compromised him as a Party member. In its
resolution, the Adjudicating Team states that "he had
connections with criminal elements and engaged in selling
goods of foreign origin for purposes of speculation. His
moral behaviour in his private life was unworthy of a Party
member. By his behaviour, as well as by his lack of honesty
towards the Party, he infringed the principles of inner?Party
? life and of Party ethics".
26. The Wroclaw'WKKP has investigated the causes and
mechanism of the demoralization of individual Party members
and reached the conclusion that "in principle the mechanism
of demoralization in all cases of this sort is similar. The
usual beginning is that such Comrades drift away from a worker
and peasant environment. The people with whom our Comrade
.has dealings have money: one has bought a small house,
another a car, their wives are prettily dressed, they offer
hospitality which 'ems to be returned. So the Comrade takes
a bribe here, buys a "bargain" there, carries out some fiddle
in order to get more money. In such an environment, people
are judged by their D6ssessions: if you have nothing, you are
a fool. This gives rise to hankerings after cars, houses:
to get them in spite of everything and at all costs, since to
obtain them is to aehieve status in this environment".

27. The demoralization of Party members is not usually a
sudden process. This applies alike to cases connected with
abuses and to rowdyism, drunkenness, immoral conduct, etc.
It may continue until there is some row, or until a control
takes place and the case has gone so far that the Party
member has to be expelled from the Party for demoralization,
economic abuses, or absence of supervision, etc.
28. This way of dealing with Party members is particularly
noticeable in those Party organizations which neglect political
and edUcationai work among Par membe-L, and? cit not see tau
need for struggling for the correct attitude of Party members.
Yet many valuable Comrades could have been saved for the Party
if attention had been paid in time to their improper behaviour,
or to their shortcomings in work.
29. The activity of Control Commissions and their
adjudication is one very important element in the education
of Party members, but it will be more effective if cases of
behaviour and misdemeanours of Party members are dealt with
regularly by the POPs. This applies both to ordinary Party
members and to the management of the place of work.
30. It is true that .a POP is not always able to carry out
a thorough investigation into misdemeanours committed by the-
management, but the Party authority L:Instancjg and the KKP
should be able to assi6t the POP in this. It may also
happen that PCPs will resolve a particular matter either too
liberally or too severely. The Party authority and the KGP
are always entitled to alter its decision, explaining why they
have done so. Practical experience has shown (many laPs have
long been using this procedure) that this has a greater
educational effect both on members of the 20Ps and on the
guilty person, and enlivens the criticism of the POPs, which

improves the efficiency of work and helps in the understanding
of the tasks and duties facing every member of the Party.
31. The Party Control Commissions have important tasks in
connection with the reporting-electoral campaign which is to
take place by the end of this year in all POPs.
32. The campaign will be conducted under the watchword of
increased political-educational work among Party members,
arming Party members for the struggle for the implementation
of production tasks, economy and a decisive opposition to
wastage of any kind.
33. Essential elements of this campaign should be an honest
and critical assessment of achievements and shortcomings in
the work of the Party organization in all spheres of its
activity and the further development of inner-Party democracy.
34. The Party Control Commissions should assist the Party
authorities and POPs in the organization and conduct of controls,
in the assessment of the implementation of the conclusions and
demands submitted during the present term of office, and in
the assessment of the activity of the POPs with Party members
(particularly in the sphere of Party adjudication). It is
also the task of the KKP to help the POP in ensuring that the
Comrades elected to the leadership of the Party organization
should be drawn from those who set an example by their
attitude towards work and towards social property, and who
enjoy respect and regard among their colleagues.

slander against Party activists and attempts to
compromise them as alleged "diversiOnaries",
organizers of a non-existent terrorist and
sabotage organization, financed by foreign
intelligence services.
45. For inciting the public in connection with the
above slanderous charges, using for this purpose
such social organizations as ZBOWiD association
for Fighters for Freedom and Democracil, and
the sessions of People's Counoils, public
meetings, etc.
46. For participation in the preparation and
signing of a document issued by the Powiat Board
of ZBOWiD, containing slanderous and anonymous
charges against the Powiat Party and State
authorities in connection with the alleged filling
of important posts by alien and hostile elements,
and demanding the removal of these alleged
enemies, which was an attempt to undermine the
confidence o? the Party organization at Jaslo,
and of the local population in the Party and
State authorities.
47. For surrounding himself with persons who did
not merit confidence and trust, and for using
their support in thecampaign against honest
Party members and the Party authority.
48. In applying the highest Party penalty, the 20
of the CKKP bore dn mind the fact that Wojciech
KOSIBA, being an experienced Party member of many
years' standing, should have fully realized the
harmfulness of his action and the consequences
arising therefrom.
49. The ZO also took into account the fact that
the educational methods previously applied to
Wojciech KOSIBA proved fruitless.
50. The severe Party penalty imposed on KOSIBA by
the ZO of the ClaP also had as its object the
strengthening of the unity of the Party
organization at Jaslo and the continuation in it
of Leninist norms of Party life.

the case, and having heard the explanations of
witnesses and of K. LETKIEWICZ, the ZO of the
WICKP at Kielce decided to uphold the resolution
of the POP to expel subject from the Party.
53.. It appears from the materials in the case that
K. LETKIEWICZ, a Party member, and simultaneously
Second Secretary of the POP in the MPKS at
Ostrowiec, adopted an un?Party attitude towards a
mass interruption of work by drivers, who, on the
21st February 1963, refused to take out the buses
onto their appointed routes. LETKIEWICZ not
only did not attempt to convince his fellow?workers
of the incorrectness of their action but himself
supported their attitude, making unjustified
demands on behalf of the group of the striking
drivers. Statements by LETKIEWICZ, such as "we
want bread, they are stealing from us" were
statements encouraging the drivers to continue in
their interruption of work.
54. It appears from a study of their remuneration
that the average quarterly wage of K. LETKIEWICZ
and other drivers in the MPIC(E7 at Ostrowiec was
2,800 zloties a month. In addition, LETKIEWICZ
was given a building plot and considerable '
assistance from the Presidium of the MRN 61Unicipal
People's Councig in the building of his own house,
in the form of a loan and the employment of his
wife. In view of this financial situation, the
words spoken by LETKIEWICZ, regarding the lowness
of the wages, were completely unfounded.
In confirming the resolution for the expulsion
/ 55. of LETKIEWICZ from the Party, the ZO of the WKKP
took into account the damage caused through the
disorganization of the transport of workers to
work in the factories and institutions at Ostrowieo.

KOWALEWSKA wrote and sent a heart-rending, but
false, letter to Israel, in which she represented?
herself as a widow living in poverty with two
grown-up but sick daughters and asked for
financial help. In fact, the financial situation
of the expelled woman is good, since her parents
possess a well-kept farm with 8 hectares of land,
while she herself is gainfully employed. The
request sent by J. KOWALEWSKA to the Israeli
authorities, asking for financial help, should be
regarded as a deed very harmful politically,
serving hostile foreign propaganda against our
social-political system. By this letter,
KOWALEWSKA compromised herself as a Party member,

110. Comrade Jan SOLTYSIK began work as Chief Forester at

work at this post, he met with an unfriendly reception from
a certain group of workers, who tried by every means to
undermine his good name and aimed at getting rid of him from
Rudy Raciborskie. Comrade SOLTYSIK was exposed to the most
varied charges, that he did not know how to direct work and
co-operate with the collective, that it was his fault that the
economic plans were not fulfilled, and that by his anti-Party
attitude he was wrecking inner-Party work. Against this
background of prejudice, four cases against Comrade SOLTYSIK

PZPR and of the District Administration of State Forests at
Opole, upheld the resolution of the PCP expelling Comrade
SOLTYSIK from the Party.
111. On an appeal by Comrade SOLTYSIK, and having studied
the whole case, the CKKP found that both the resolutions of
the Executive of the KP of the PZPR and of the WKKP at Opole
were not based on a proper study of the situation among the
people where Comrade SOLTYSIK was working, nor did they take
into account the favourable opinions of the POP, the KG of the
and the Presidium of the GRN at Rudy Raciborskie.
. Credence was given, on the other hand, to the statements of
Persons who presented Comrade Jan SOLTYSIK in a false light.
In assessing the work of Comrade SOLTYSIK as a whole, no
account was taken of his efforts to improve economic
conditions, to raise work discipline, or of his struggle
against drunkenness among his subordinate personnel, thefts
of timber, and other offences. In the course of three yiars,
in spite of failing to secure a proper understanding, Comrade 4k,\
SOLTYSIK succeeded in bringing to light numerous. thefts,
including a theft of timber by the Forester ZYSKA and the
Junior Forester BURCHARD, for which they received Court
sentences, and the dismissal of the Forester DYLUS, who had
also received a Court sentence for hooliganism. The above
persons were among the group slandering Comrade SOLTYSIK.
112. Together with other Comrades, SOLTYSIK justly and
correctly assessed in the gromada of Rudy Raoiborskie the
inoorreot behaviour of some Party members, who by their

drunken practices had brought dissension into the Party
organization and harmed the good name of Party member.
113. In the light of the above materials, the ZO of the
CKKIP found the charges against Comrade SOLTYSIK to be
unfounded.
114. On the other hand, the ZO of the CKKP found justified
the charge made in the resolution of the WEEKP, dealing with
the incorrect attitude of Comrade SOLTYSIK in the matter of
the education of his children and permitting a situation where
they were sent to Communion.
115. However, bearing in mind the whole situation desoribed
above, and the statement by Comrade SOLTYSIK that the children
were sent to Communion without his knowledge, as well as his
self-critical assessment of his attitude in the matter of the
education of the children, and his assurance that he would
pay more attention to these matters, the ZO of the CKKP
decided to limit itself only to imposing a Party penalty in
the form of an admonition fipomnieni27.
III. Some details of the work of the Presidium of the CKNIP
for the eriod January-August, 1963.
116. During the final part of 1963, the Presidium of the
CKKIP in its sessions carried out an analysis of the work of
the KKIps. Particular attention was paid to the adjudication
of the WDEPs. In connection with this matter, an
appreciation was also made of the reporting questionnaires
illustrating the true state of adjudication in the KKPs. In
addition, 31 oases were examined, connected with appeals by
Party members against Party penalties or concerning
organizational matters.
117. In assessing the work of the MKNIPs and PIMPs, the

inner-Party life, the observance of Party discipline and the
principles of Party ethics, and their important educational
influence on the PCPs. In order to facilitate the work of
the local Commissions and to guide them onto their proper
paths, the Presidium of the CKKP sent out work directives to
the Commissions.
118. The Presidium of the CDT expressed its agreement to
the setting-up of Kiges at Is and KMs of the PZPR in the
following voievodships: Lodz - at Sieradz, Radomsko, Lodz,
Zgierz, and Tomaszow Mazowiecki; Kielce - at Kielce,
Konskie: Poznan - at Nowy Tomysl, Chodziez, and Krotoszyn.
119. Agreement wab also given to the appointment to the
post of Vice-Chairman of the WIMP at Gdansk of Comrade
Eugeniusz SZWARCZYK, the former let Secretary of the KM of
the PZPR at Gdansk.
120. The Presidium discussed the reports on the activities
of the following WKNIPs: Poznan, Kielce, Katowice, Krakow.
121. We give below the recommendations of the Presidium of
the CKEIT to the Katowice MOP.
122. Having carried out, on the 9th May, 1963, an
assessment of the activities of the WKIIIP at Katowice, the
Presidium of the CICKP has established the following:

further widening of inner-Party democracy: the WKKP appeals
more frequently to the opinion of the POPs and does not
replace the latter in examining the misdemeanours of Party
members.
125. As a result, there has occurred an important reduction
in the number of first-instance ierwiastkowil cases
examined direct by the WKICP.
126. Wishing to gain knowledge as to the correctness of the
judgments of POPs, the WKKP carried out a control of
adjudication in 84 KZe in POPs numbering over 400 Party
members and communicated the outcome to the 'Us.,
127. The principle is also being brought into practice of
informing the POPs of the reasons for changing the resolutions
of POPs in the event of their being quashed by the WKKP.
128. Members of the WI= take part not only in the work of
Adjudicating Teams but also participate in the working-out of
individual problems brought to light by adjudication.
129. In carrying out an assessment of adjudication, it is
necessary to note the fact of the quashing by the WKKP of
quite a considerable number of resolutions on expulsion from
the Party.
130. Out of 120 cases which were heard as appeals against
expulsion froth the Party, the WKDIP restored Party rights to
54 Party members.
131. This means that almost every other appeal against
expulsion, which had reached the WKKP, had been resolved in
favour of the Party member making the appeal.
132. It should be added that during the same period the CKKP
heard 37 appeals against expulsion from the Party, restoring
Party rights to 13 Party members.

133. It is significant that the majority of the resolutions
quashed by the WKKP had been adopted not by the POPs, but
direct by the las, or by the executive of the KM or KP,
by-passing the POP.
134. An analysis of the resolutions quashed by the WP
shows that the Party authorities jnstancjg had been applying
excessively severe Party penalties, without always taking into
account, in the imposition of a Party penalty, an assesbment
of the activities and work of the Party member as a whole.
135. Party authoritie's are passing too many resolutions
under first-instance ierwiastkowil procedure. Of 821
persons expelled from the Party in 1962, Party authorities
adopted 263 decisions direct, by-passing the POPs. This
means that only one out of three resolutions on expulsion
from the Party were examined by the POPs. Thus the POP,
which is entitled by Statute to examine the misdemeanours of
Party members and to adopt resolutions either imposing Party
penalties or exempting from Party proceedings, has often. been
left out of these decisions.
136. The WRINIP should influence through the voievodship
Party authority Linstancjg the powiat, municipal and works
committees to limit the number of first-instance resolutions
in their adjudication only to exceptional cases.
137. Some resolutions of the WKKP call for comments both on
their merits and on their drafting. For instance, in some
resolutions by which the WIMP restores the rights of Party
membership, when giving the grounds for the resolution, only
the negative sides of the question are stressed, and it is
difficult to understand what was the guiding principle of the
WIMP when it revised the original judgment. A resolution
dratted in this way cannot be intelligible to the POP or the

138. Some judgments are incompatible with the Party
Statutes and the resolutions of the KC. For instance, the
WI= has been making resolutions granting or refusing
permission to rejoin the Party to persons who in recent years
had been struck off the list of Party members and candidates,
contrary to the resolution of the KC of June, 1956, which
laid down a different procedure for dealing with this matter.
139. Resolutions continued to be adopted in the voievodship
by POPs and Party authorities, expelling candidates from the
Party, contrary to the Statutes. 107 such resolutions were
adopted in 1962.
140. The WIMP should develop various forms of supervision
over adjudication. In the course of investigating and
examining cases, it is necessary to study all the elements
concerning both the guilt and the defence of the Party member,
and attention should be paid to the merits and to the drafting
of the resolutions adopted.
141. The problem of annulling Party penalties has not so far
been exploited as one of the elements of education of Party
members.
142. The WKKIP, together with the Party authorities, should
work out organizational forms of-keeping records of Party
members subjected to Party penalties, so as to be able to
carry out systematic educational work with such Comrades.
143. It is true that, in comparison with 1961, there has
been an inorease in the number of annulments of Party
penalties, but the number remains greatly disproportionate to
the number of Party penalties imposed to date.

imposed direct by the WK, and to bring this problem to the
attention of the Party authorities and the POPs.
145. When annulling Party penalties imposed by the WICKP, use
may be made of the resolution of the KC of June, 1956, which
points out the possibility of transmitting requests of Party
members appealing for the annulment of Party penalties to
the POP for decision.
146. The decision on the transmission of the case should be
adopted by the Adjudicating Team of the MIT, whioh should
state that it has no Objection to the annulment of the Party
penalty by the POP.
147. The'Presidium of the CICKP draws attention to the faot
that the work of the WKKP should concentrate, to a higher
degree than hitherto, on an analysis of Party adjudication.
148. In addition to problems correctly accepted for
analysis, the WKKP examined a number of questions not directly
coming within the sphere of its work. In future, the WKKP
should co-operate to a greater degree in the study of certain
problems with the appropriate sections of the Voievodship
Committee, and should make use of analyses prepared by control
authorities, such as NIX Supreme Chamber of Controg and IKR
LUOntrol and Revision Inspectoratil.
149. The Presidium of the WKKP should submit information on
its work to the Plenum of the WICK?. It is essential to make
a study of the existing work of the Presidium of the WICKP and
to carry out a division of the work between the Chairman and
his Deputy, and the members of the Presidium-.

151. In spite of several exhortations that the Adjudicating
Teams should examine cases and adopt resolutions with a
larger quorwa than three, nevertheless, both in 1962 and in
1963, a quite considerable number of resolutions were adopted
by three-man teams.
152. The absence of a permanent recorder rotokolang
during the sessions of the Adjudicating Teams has resulted
in a situation where the rather important document, namely
the minutes rotokog, which should record the course of
the session of the ZO, the explanations of the interested
person and other Party members, and the discussion at the ZO
session, contains many serious shortcomings. There is an
urgent need for the appointment of a permanent recorder in
the WKXP.
153. The Presidium of the WICKP, and the WKKP itself, should
periodically analyse the adjudication of the powiat and
municipal KKPs, and its own.
.154. Members of the Presidium of the WKKP and members of the
MEP allocated territorially to individual powiats, should
help the powiat authorities in carrying out an assessment of
the Work of the PKKPs and in formulating conclusions emerging
from this assessment.
155. The aim should be to activate the Adjudicating Teams,
so that in the areas allocated to them, they should play the
part of an auxiliary .arm of the Plenum of the WKKP, and so
that in their contact with local KUs and organization
commissions, they should give more effective help to the
local gartil authorities in matters connected with Party
adjudication.

IV. Zadalam_itglsions of local KICIPs
156. In conformity with the recommendation of the CUP,
there were held in June and July 1963 throughout the country
40 plenary sessions of the municipal, powiat, and district
KKPs, devoted to summing up the activity of the ICKPs in the
light of the directives of the Plenum of the CP of March
and December, 1962.
157. These meetings were also attended by members of the
CKICP employees, the chairmen and vice-chairmen of WKKPs,
and Secretaries of powiat committees.
158. Apart from the MCP at Sosnowiec, which failed to draw
up a report, treating the Plenum as an ordinary session, all
the remaining Commissions prepared reports in writing,
analysing the work to date and its results.
159. From the reports, and also from the discussions, it
appears that the local KKPs are developing their activities to
an increasing degree and are assimilating the ,range, role, and
tasks entrusted to them. From the number of cases and the
way they are dealt with, it is possible to observe positive
changes which have taken place in the first half of this year
in the style, methods, and quality of work of the local KKPs.
160. The main direction of work of the local KKPs during
the past six months has been the further deepening of inner-
Party democracy. There was adopted as a basic Principle in
the activity of the Commissions the examination of cases
direct in the POPs, and also the giving of assistance to POPs
in the examination of the more difficult cases. Today it
can be said that this procedure has been adopted by all local
KKPs, directing cases for examination by the POPs, since, as

Commissions to gain a deeper knowledge and understanding of the
Problems of inner-Party life and of human relationships, while
the examination of cases by the POPs teaches these Party
organizations and helps them to understand better the rights
and duties of a Party member, makes them more sensitive in
examining individual offences, while decisions made by the
broad oolleotive golektyg are more objective and just.
161. The Comrades found that at all POP meetings where
first-instance cases were presented for adjudication, such
cases were always accompanied by an objective and Party
discussion, which as a rule gave rise to much solicitude and
Party attention to the correct ideological and moral attitude
of the Party member and the proper observance of Statutory
requirements.
162. There also exist POPs in which may be noted the
phenomenon of non-engagement and a liberal attitude towards
committed offences. Generally, these are weak Party
organizations which, for various reasons, try to play down
the case. This phenomenon is particularly apparent in cas9s
involving directors, managers, presidents and Secretaries of
POPs. Party organizations of this sort are in real,
essential need of help from members of the KKPs. In such
cases (it was found by the Comrades) the presence at a POP
meeting of representatives of the iCKP had a favourable
influence on making the correct resolution and helped to reveal
the true seriousness of the problem to Party members.
163. The discussions at plenary sessions of the local KKPs
were very lively. In the discussions, there was talk not
only about the errors, faults, or offenoes of individual Party
members, but also about the methods and style of work of the
Commissions.
Discussions centred round such questions as:

Party adjudication, a watch over the correct growth of Party
ranks, the struggle against infringement of the principles
of Party ethics, the observance of Party and professional
discipline, and work with Party organizations in order to
prevent the incidence of various diseases and offences.
164. The problems which were foremost in the discussions
depended on the nature of the area and the character of the
cases which were predominant during the particular period.
For instance, the PKKP'at Dzierzoniow (voievodship of
Wroclaw) in its report devoted much space to discussing the
experiences of the Commission in the struggle against
suppressors of criticism. Examples quoted in the report
from the Furniture Factory at Ostroszowice, the Furniture
Factory at Swidnica, and the "Diora? Works, indicated, on the
one hand, glaring instances of the suppression of criticisms
of workers by the managements of the factories, and, on the
other, the consistent attitude of the PKKP, which went to
the defence of the injured parties and took appropriate,
Party disciplinary measures against those guilty. An, as it
were, reverse side of the phenomenon of suppression of
oritioism is unjustified criticism LErytykanotwa7 and wreaking,
whioh were also encountered by the PKKP at Dzierzoniow during
the course of its activities in the period under review.
165. During this period, the KKPs also devoted much
attention to questions of world outlook, conducting many
conversations on this subject with Party members, and taking
Party disciplinary measures against Church activists. For
example, the PKKP at Dzierzoniow took Statutory disciplinary
measures against 31 Comrades, of whom 9 were expellrd from the
Party and 18 were,i_tt._n____i_mi_t_h_c_a_u_t_ton.

166. A fact worthy of notice is that the problem of
prophylactic?educational work is dealt with on an everyday
basis and is not limited only to questions of world outlook,
but covers a wider range of problems. This is largely due
to the Powiat gar& authorities Linstancjil which deal with
this problem jointly with the Kit's. For example, in the KP
at Debica (voievodship of Rzeszow), for prophylactic?educational
work, three teams were appointed from the activ, their
composition including one of the KP secretaries, the chairman
or a member of the PKKP, members of the Plenum of the KP and
local activists. The members of the teams interview Comrades
who do not perform their Party tasks, who infringe the ?
principles of Party ethics, etc. Similar teams were
appointed in 10 large places of work, and also in all gromada
committees.
167. The Powiat Committee at Jaroslaw (voievodship of
Rzeszow) is preparing a group of the activ (about 20 persons)
for the purpose of organizing lectures on world outlook
subjects and on the ethics of a Party member.
168. It should be emphasized that in Jaroslaw and Debica
important changes have taken place in the style and method of
work of these Commissions. Until recently, these Commissions
were still counted among the more feeble ones operating in the
voievodship of Rzeszow.
169. The next problem which was stressed by the plenary
sessions was a change in the nature of relations betw6an the
local KKPs and the powiat gartg authorities 67nstancjp7.
The discussions have shown that the local KKPs now understand
and appreciate to a much greater extent the necessity for
having permanent contacts, close everyday co?operation with

On the other side, there can be noted a greater interest in
and help for the local Commissions on the part of the powiat
authorities. An expression of this, also, is the more
frequent than hitherto participation of KP Secretaries at
sessions of the Commissions, invitations to members of the
ICUs to attend sessions of the K2' executives, conferences,
etc. The KP Secretaries spoke of the improved co-operation
between the KKPs and the powiat authorities. They underlined
the correctness of the appointment of local "GOB, which daily
improve their. work and help Party authorities and orga.lizations
to solve many difficult cases which were either unnoticed by
the KPs or which "escaped" them by reason of the vast amount
of work.
170. This matter was mentioned, among others., by the KP
Secretary from Swiecia (voievodship of Bydgoszcz), who,
quoting examples of the Furniture Works at Nowe and a number
of State Farms, showed how the PKKP helped the powiat -
authorities to solve correctly and effectively many difficult
and troublesome cases. It is worth emphasizing that the
Commission at Swiecie. is comparatively new (having been eel;
up last year), but that the work of this Commission is in no
way inferior to the work of such Commissions as those at
Grudziadz or Torun.
171. Other KP Secretaries also assessed the work of the
Commissions in a similar way.
172. However, co-operation between the IMPs and the powiat
authorities did not develop correctly evefywhere. This
question was raised, for example, by the WKKP at Krakow
during an assessment of its work by the Presidium of the CKKP.

was taken up by the WKKP, as a result of which, during the
months of June and July of the current year, the le
executives carried out an assessment of the work of the' local
KKPs.
173. Among the local Commissions which are working more
successfully should be included the PlaPs at Tarnow and
Oswiecim., which, in addition to their own adjudication, are
also engaged in controlling adjudication in the POPs and in
the conduct of prophylactic conversations, the majority of
which are carried out in the POPs.
174. A new element in the work of local KKPs, giving
evidence of the implementation of the recommendations of the
,CRICP, is the increasingly frequent presentation of reports
on the work of the ICUs at meetings of the POPs. Reports of
this sort were submitted by a number of local KICIPs in the
voievodships of Wroclaw, Rzeszow, Koszalin, Bydgoszcz, 'Krakow,
and others. According to the opinions of Comrades from the
ICKPs, such meetings are attended by a wide discussion and
numerous questions. We do not, however, possess sufficient
information on how the reports were prepared, what they
contained, and how they were received by the Basic Party
Organizations.

its plan of work will continue to have meetings with local
Klas.

177. In 1962, in the Warsaw Party organization, Party
sanctions were imposed mainly for economic abuses,
drunkenness, and hooliganism, while the reasons for .strikings
off were: own request, passivity, and losing touch with the
Party.
178. A disturbing feature is that, among those struck off,
there was a large number of workers, often with many years
of service in the Party. Having studied more closely the
reasons leading to striking off, it was found that some
decisions were adopted in a mechanical manner.
179. An analysis of the persons penalized and of the
offences for which Statutory sanctions were imposed points to
weak educational work in the moulding of the ideological and
moral Image of the Party member, to poor prophylactic activity,
and to inadequate care of candidates. This is particularly
apparent in trade and in work co-operatives, where the POPs
are few and Party members scattered.
180. In some Party organizations there is tolerance of
those infringing the Statutes and the norms of Party life.
These POPs take an insufficient interest in the behaviour of
their members, and react only when the offences reach the
level of crimes and there follows an intervention by the
administrative authorities.
181. In these organizations, Party members on the whole
struggle insufficiently for the good name and authority of a
Communist. Some Party members regard with indifferellice the
wasting of social property, drunkenness, and various other
signs of demoralization.
182. Cases occur in everyday life of causing harm to people,
which does not always meet with counter-measures by the Party
