BERLIN. Jan. 1.-THE state of
SaXony is driving toward economic
recovery under a system of strong
government control of industry and
business.
The whole economy of that large
ly self sufficient state has been har-
messed to the production plan for
1916" drawn up by the German
state government at the behest of
Russian Marshal Zhukov. Similar
plans are in force in other states
and provinces of the Russian zone.
How Saxony's plan works was ex-
planned in Dresden to the first cor
respondents to tour the Russian
zone by Kurt Fischer, first vice
president in the state government
Fischer, a one-time school teacher
is Moscow trained Communist and
has been a member of the German
Communist party since its founding
Under the production plan. the
government first gets an estimate of
industrial capacity, available raw
materials for industry and con-
sumner needs. Then it apportions
the supplies. informing each firm
what stocks it will receive and what
it must produce.
Workers Assigned.
In industries where there Is a
labor shortage the government as
signs workers and this it has been
doing in the case of coal mines and
some factories, especially the SYM
thetic petroleum production
Sales as we'll as production are
controlled on all except few un-
rationed products. Factories are
given delivery orders assigning them
what to deliver and where so that
the people may get the products on
their ration cards.
The factories deliver at fixed
prices to wholesalers, and wholesale
and retail prices also are con-

trolled. There are fixed prices for
practically everything except what
the farmers are allowed to sell on
the free market. There the farmer
can sell 80 per cent of his produc-
ton after delivering 10 per cent to
government food agencies.
Fischer, who compared the pro-
duction control plan to Reichs-
marshal Goering's wartime economic
controls. said planned economy lis
absolutely necessary now and is
likely to last for years, at least until
the supply equals the demand"
Price Scales Fixed.
Price scales generally are fixed at
the 1914 levels and wages and sal
aries also are pegged at that level
The government also is waging a
strong fight against imitation
The power of workers has in
creased in Saxony as well as in other
sectors of the Soviet zone. Workers
councils have been granted a voice
in production control and in some
mines. Fischer claimed, they have
helped boost production up to 1870
to $50 per cent of the wartime rate.
He estimated more than 600 workers
have been unioniZed.
The state OF Saxony traditionally
had leftist political complexion.
In October, 1928, a Communist So
cialist government was set up which
the German military put down. The
Communist Party there claims l00,-
600 members and estimated the So
cial Democratic membership at TO-
COO. with Liberal Democrats and
Christian Democrats still rather
weak.
All four parties are represented in
the government. Saxony has been
the incubator for a number of So
cialist experiments conducted with
the support and approval of the
Soviet military government. These
include the nationalizat ton of some
OF its mines.
