The Head of Division V den 25, Angvot 1944 - Nr. V-2378/44 - Fig.: 25th AUG. 1944 To 4-Upper Group Leader Minister of State F r a n k. Betr.: Salary stop for senior employees during the total war operation. As I have said, as Minister of Economic Affairs and Labour in the Protectorate Government during the period of total wartime deployment, I intend not to have applications for exemptions from the salary stop at senior employees from 80o.-- RM processed every month. Mr Stucke, the head of government, has now stated to the competent department of the JCC in Berlin that the latter has submitted to the Gauleiter Sauckel the proposal to issue such a measure from 1 5oo RM possible, limited to 3l December 1984. Mr Sauckel had rejected this proposal as far too largely. I do not understand this attitude of the Gauleiter Sauckel and the party law firm. This is reported in each case, so that you may point out this point during the Monday debate in Berlin. If you do not even decide on a solgh measure, which only temporarily serves capital-strong circles, then you should in my opinion. I am not referring to a dead war operation in DeutsgiTand. I urge that the measure, despite the Berlin takeover after Yhr's return from Berlin, be taken by ieon of the Autonomous Ministry of Economic Affairs and Labour in the Protectorate to clkcbcce.
