1. According to a decision of the Ministry of Light Industry, all Hungarian
Textile factories had to make increased use of their machine capacity as
from l April 1952. For example, machines producing plain woven cloth
have now to work at 200 rpm, and those producing patterned cloth at 180 rpm.
2. The Ministry has also ordered that 960 grammes of cotton yarn.is to be
produced from each kg. of"raw cotton treated. This has led the textile
factories to spin their yarn without any further ginning.
3. The production of the largest Hungarian textiles factory Keltex on the
Budafoki ut,. Budapest, now amounts to 1+0,000 m. per day. Of this quantity,
half is for the home market and the other half for export.

ments on I'May 1952.. The factory is not, however, yet working at full
