Prague, 23rd VII. 1943 Division VI Food and Agriculture Az.: VI - I/6 - 49/43g Cona antsfehcetörs The control of consignments of goods as well as luggage in hand luggage storage facilities on shipping goods has been carried out for a long time by inspection bodies of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry with the permission of the Department of Transport and Téchnik. In addition, checks on passengers' baggage outside the platforms, but mainly only in Prague. However, according to previous experience, such sampling checks are not sufficient to limit the trade in goods. A list of confiscated food products is required for the checks carried out in May and June. When assessing the results of the seizures, account must be taken of the fact that only a small number of persons can be covered by the inspection. In addition, the practice shows that some of the train crews are already informing passengers about the checks on the road, so that a large part of the mail transporters transporting goods are already leaving the train at the on-site stations; therefore, some inspection bodies should first be given a test permit to carry out baggage checks on rolling trains. The proposal by Division VIII to carry out only 1 - 2 sampling checks at the acceptance points per month is not sufficient, St.S.VE-30242
