Dr. ALBREcht MIESBACH Wehrwirtschaftsführer Zlin, the board member of the Bata A. G. must make a compromise if one wants to further the truth. Only the manager Trojan of Batazu is represented by the 5 alleged Bata-people who are burdened in the press, but the 4 other people are not represented. The fact that the Batovany plant is completely in itself, that the protection of the works could not even be armed with a pistol, that, the police and the nearby military camp, which the plant is under military authority, were immediately passed over to the guerrillas, that of these people the completely unprotected work was occupied and that this armed power distributed weapons and under spreading false rumors the followers of the weapons had swung. Under a follow-up of about lo O0o, as is the case for the Slovenian Bata society, there is always a certain percentage of bad and unsuitable people. It will turn out whether the percentages proven in Bata are above or below the normal level. In any case, both the Slovak radio and the Slovak press have been inswiachen.A correction of the undocumented news has been made so far through the Slovak Bata company. The Batovany-Šimonovany plant accounts for only 30 5 % of the Slovak Bata company's workforce; no negative follow-up is available at all over the remaining 70 %, even if it is not intimidated.
