BERLIN-CHARLOTTENBURG 2, Uhlandstr.184 Telex: 91 05 20 Zeitungs-Ausschnitt-Büro Zeitung: Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung r Place of publication: 1.12.1944 3.0.11.1944 Date: Dr. Hacha Six years President of Prague, 30.11.The sixth anniversary of Dr. Emil Hac h a's election was on 30 November. The Czech press pays tribute in word and image to Dr. Hacha's State-Men's work, and sees him as the only legitimate representative of the Czech people. In this context, the pages underline in particular the state-men's decision of March 15, 1939, which brought the countries of Bohemia and Moravia back to the framework of the Great German Empire. At the centre of the reflections of the Czech papers is an essay by the Chairman of the Protectorate Government Justice Minister Dr. Krejci, who in the "Narodni Politika" demonstrates in a scientifically sound way the legality and legitimacy of the functions of the President.
