8a Lord Eilt very much! SdS -about Mr. Under-Secretary of State, Since Jng.Schmelzer does not attach any particular importance to the management of the coal industry in Prague and, in the opinion of the Minister's Councillor of Wedelstädt and Chief Governmentlor Dr. von Hülsen, does not seem to be very suitable for this either, I should like to suggest that Mr. Schmelzer should not be appointed as Head of the Coal Industry Office. Unfortunately, Jch could not speak to Mr. Schmelzer himself, because I was on duty in Klattau on Saturday. The management of the coal industry office should soon be filled up again as soon as possible. Jch would therefore be very grateful if a telex would be sent to General Director Pleiger from the l4.ds.Mts. according to my suggestion because of so-long release of Mr. Windmöller. Should Jng.Schmelzer be placed elsewhere in the proteltorate? Prague, 17 November 194l t The Head of Division II 60492
