Also the description of Dr. Holik, that his first deputy Fulik fell ill, his second deputy Zmeškal had been prevented and therefore could not take part in the trip Holik to Niederdonau, does not correspond to the facts. It was correct that they did not want to participate in such an autonomous action by Holik, so that Holik had been forced to be satisfied with a district observer. Holik (Hruby) would not have told him, as he suggested, from his first trip to Niederdonau, that another self-power of Holik had been reported to him by the legal officer in the Ministry of Agriculture, Dr. Havliček. Holik then intervened in the negotiations in the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Labour with regard to the exchange of about 300 young people employed in Niederdonau for urgent economic and personal reasons, following a consultation with 4-stands leader Fischer. Dr. Holik had obtained the consent of f-Standartenführer Fischer to bring these people back without a replacement, although after the original agreements were to be replaced for these people. In this way the question of the replacement position became obsolete. Here- at would be Dr.Holik, without Hruby knowing it occurred in his name. The purpose of this intervention was to exploit the cause initiated by him (Hruby) again for his purposes (Holik). Minister Hruby further stated that Minister Bertsch, when the ski jumping operation was organised, had given him the promise that a pair of work shoes would be made available to each individual ski jumper.Although this promise could not be realised later, he would have talked to Minister Bertsch again about this, but with negative success. In another audition, in which he had asked for the allocation of only l50 pairs of shoes, he would have been clearly understood that this would not be possible. Having now over 52459 175bt
