To the Head of the Department of Cultural Policy of the German Minister of the State of Bohemia and Moravia, 4h-Sturmbannfänger W o 1 f Prag Subject: Emotional effects of the case N ě m e c - K ř iž . Here, from 14.2.45. - III G - SA 246/1. The legal statements of the editor N ě m e e and the censor K ř í ž have led to a persistent nervousness, concern, uncertainty and the most recent debates on the effects of this measure in Czech press decrees. In general, the verdict is described as far too harsh and especially the least guilty. A strong impression was created by the press conference, in Velcher 4-Sturmbannführer W o l f the convicts announced. > His words that this incident does not cast a shadow on the activity of journalists in the Protectorate are considered incorrect, since the incident is in general opinion threatening the existence and work of the editors. In the "Národni Politika" one would have thought it appropriate to publish the case in order to give a warning to the editor-in-chief and to protect oneself from contingencies. One points out here an article sent in the last days by the city office Nachod to the main authorship of "Nárcdai Politik a" quite ambiguous content. Although it is unanimously admitted that the article was clear, one does not blame Němec's person for the 100% guilt. One points out that NěMec overloads with work, while being tubercular and, above all, very sensitive in national terms, so his spelling is in all probability based on an inspiration of h uhe y $54/201-2\x$ - 444/4^$
