UNQUALIFIED SPECIALISTS, HEAVY PERSONNEL TURNOVER
PLA(U MEAT ADD DAIRY INDUSTRY
The Planning Section of the Ministry of Meat and Dairy Industry USSR
(Narbut and Koroleva in charge) conducts planning inefficiently and does
not carry out systematic checkups on the fuLf~llment of production plane
by main administrations, trusts, and enterprises, despite the fact that
daily checkups and comparisons of actual results with planned tasks are
'the-moot important function of planning groups.

Bureaucratic methodu of direction in planning have not yet been
eliminatad. Since compilation of balances for livcnetock and dairy nroduete
were not coocdinateO by the Planning Section of the Ministr' of Meat aid
Dairy Industry, in mrny rayons the production plan did not correspond tic
the procurement plsn. Far example, use of available milk for processing
butter suss planned for only 42 nercent of the ava'.lable supply at the Moak
Trust of lloagia+maslopraa, for`53.4 percent at the Orel Trust; for 57.8 per-
cent at the Tambov Trust, and for 37.2 percent at the Udmurt trust. At a
number of trusts of Roeglavmyaso (Arkhangel'ek, Bashkir, Vladimir, Krasnoyarsk,
Chelyabinsk) the meat-production plans were set at a lower figure for the first
quarter of 1948 than for the first quarter ct 1947 although available stocks
of meat were greater in 1948 than in 1947. For the second gaarter of 1948,
actual output corresponded to planned output at almost none of the trusts of
Rosglavmaeloprcm. At nine trusts actual output was substantially lower than
the planned output, while at 21 trusts actual output exceeded that planned.
There have actually been cases in which the Ministry of Meat and Dairy
Industry RSFSR drew up plans not only for lower output, but even for lower
quality than bad bean set for the previous year. For example, in 1947
enterprises of Roeglavmasloprom processed 26.1 percent of milk products for
"Ekstra' butter, whereas the plan for 1948 set 25.1 percent for the wale
commodity. The figure for dehydrated "Eietra" butter was 57.9 percent for
1947, while the figure planned for 1943 was only 55 percent.
Output of meat in republic enterprises was 1.2 percent lower than in
union enterprises in 1948. Roegiavmyaso and its trusts did not succeed in
fulfilling their plane for fete, hides, and animal gut.

Order lie 357 of the iinietry 01 at and Dairy _.Justry U66-R, dated
cF March 1948, provided for a pian to increase the ren naterial base of
meat combines. The development of this plan dragged out for over 7 months,
and the plan was not published until 20 November.
Thu approved. plan had numerous defects. Many meat combines, especially
;n Ukrainian SiR, were completely omitted. The requirements in raw materials
of republic meat combines were not adequately taken into account. The con-
tinuous movement of livestock was disrupted.
Almost two :hirds of the econaaiete working for the Ministry of Meat and
Dairy Indu3try do not have any specialized practical training, and are even
lacking in theoretical knowledge. Approximately half of them are under 30
years of age. Despite lack of training, no attempts have been made to in-
crease the theoretical knowledge of these economists either by the !Ministry
as a whole, or by main administrations. The short-term courses which are
conducted are primarily for accounting personnel.
Advanced training must be provided for economists and planners. The
best specialists of the meat and dairy industry, in addition to professors
and instructors of higher and middle educational institutions, must be used
to train specialists for the institutions and enterprises of the Ministry
of at and Dairy Industry IIJSR.
In 1947 and 1949, the turnover of economisto with higher education was
a shortcoming in the meat and dairy industry. In 1947, 24 yopng specialists
with higher education entered this industry, but 75 specialists left. For
11 months of 1948, 75 specialists entered the industry, while 79 left. The
number of economists with higher eau middle school education must be increased
rather than decreased.
Cenral economists, entiacere, end technicians as well as planning
specialists must La trained in economics. economic organization, and socialist
plan i.ng.
Whatever their branch of tha economy, our managerial personnel must irnow
the lave of socialist economy, especially of their ern industry, and must be
able to ana?yze problems of economics, finance, wages and cost accounting,
WW must aee.st in raising the qualifications and economic know-how of these
men by setting up a training system, by developing correspondence courses,
by supplying textbooks and supplementary reading, by :u g:snising for exchrnge
of experience, etc.
