229 - 4- On the initiative of Minister Moravec, the Czech National Council convened a meeting in its meeting room for the 4th, 6 p.m. According to the invitation, the subject of the hearing is a clarification of the position on the assassination of the Deputy Reich Protector and a resolution on the Czech publicity of cultural life to be submitted to the President. As is known confidentially, it is planned to proclaim an exclusion of Benesch from the Czech community and to evaluate the meeting by means of radio reporting. In addition to the members of the National Council, up to now, 1 2 leading Czech authors and the top representatives of 34 cultural bodies (e.g. Academy of Sciences, Research Council, Artists' Association etc.). In this regard, it is pointed out in German circles that the effectiveness of a decision hostile to Benesch could undoubtedly be strong by the traditional and today highly respected national council in Czech circles of the country and abroad; on the other hand, this would prove to be the competent body of the National Council's umbrella band, which is ready for dissolution in itself, and could, after three years of conscious passivity, obtain a political alibi which is hardly desirable on the German side. It should be examined whether the propagandist moments here could justify a reintroduction of popular political concerns. About the rally on the Old Town Ring v. 2.6. a special report is issued, which will shortly be handed over, distributor: 1.) 1-Oberstgruppenführer und Generaloberst der Polizei D a l u e g e 20) Adjutancy of the Deputy Reichsprotektor z.Hd.v. 4-Sturmbannfänger Dr. P 1 o e t z 3.) i-Group leader K.H.F r a n k 4) BdS, ij-Standartenführer B ö h m e 5.)
