Prague, the An den 4-Sturmbannführer Oberregierungsrat Dr. G i e s s Prag - Hradschin Czernin-Palais Betr.: Stiftung Maria-Schul in Brno. By decree of the Reich Protector in Bohemia and Moravia a statute of the Foundation Maria-School in Brno has been issued. According to § 4, sentence 3 of the statutes, the chairman of the foundation is appointed by the Reichsprotector. I ask for notification whether the Reich Protector has already completed the order, since then the compulsory administration of the Land Office would have to be abolished. I would also like to know who has been appointed chairman, whether, as discussed at the time, the chairman of the Reichsverein für Volkspflege und Siedler-hilfe e.V. has been envisaged, so that I can report on it. In particular, 4-Oberführer von Petersen is interested in the solution of this question, who, on the basis of the agreement of -Group leader Frank, manages the business of the foundation. He asked me to clarify this question as soon as possible, and he also suggested that I should like to encourage the appointment of Dr. P a w l a c k to the advisory board of the Foundation's Government Commissioner J u d e x in Brno and the old and proven legal adviser. I ask you to respond to this request as much as possible.
