hf - 33 - the government allegedly caused by it to give the impression in public that the attacks against the government were on the German side, since the press was dependent on the Germans. - The limitation of the civil servants' reduction at the railway and postal administrations in its department sought to place Havelka as his merit and wanted to do so. German bodies play out against each other. - A former senator told Havelka that the situation of the ministers in the Protectorate government was a real martyrdom. They had to be counted as "legionary years", i.e. three years. Within the protectorate government the crisis led to a complete confusion. In his perplexity, Prime Minister Eliáš wanted to assure the German authorities of a strict investigation of the culprits, which he refused until after the ministers had pointed him to the absurdity of this plan, because he himself was present at the meeting at which the government's response was decided. Internal Secretary Ježek dropped Eliáš's statement about the inability: "The fish stinks at the head." Rumors then emerged that the whole government would resign, and it was also said that the Minister of Social and Health Administration would demission Klumpar in favour of the former Social Democratic Party Secretary Stočes. The resignation of Havelka has not had a special effect on the mood, but his resignation was welcomed in Vlajka circles. The last impetus to the resignation of Havelka, who was officially called "deposed of office", has spread to various readings: rumours have been made that President Hácha, in his decision, is mainly determined by his daughter, who, a few days ago, in the course of an ongoing exchange of words with Havelka, is said to have described him as an idiot and a great fool. According to another opinion, the reason for the Demission Havelkas was a joint action of Ministers Eliáš, Bubna-Litic, Kratoch-vil and Krejči.
