Ministerial Councillor Dr. Heckel Prague, January 18, 1943 W Buto An 4 Herrn Dr.G i e s 3 19 JAN.1043 im H a u s e Before Christmas we spoke briefly about the establishment of the folk care allowances for teachers from Oberdonau. I report to you that I discussed the matter in Linz on November 7, 1942, as I hope to conclude. You wanted to send a letter to Gauleiter Eigruber and asked me for the material. I recommend that you write to the Gauleiger something like this: The head of my department of visual administration ministerial. on 7 November 1942, Dr. Heckel discussed the question of reimbursement of the allowances for teachers from Gau Oberdonau with the head of your school department, government director L e n k and the responsible legal officer of this department. The situation is that, after a decree of the Minister of Education of 10.9.1941 - E II e 2105 - the remuneration of teachers seconded from the Eastern Mark to the Protectorate must be borne by the seconding authorities until 31.3:1942. Thereafter, the people's care allowances paid to the seconded teachers of your Gaues for the period up to 31.3.1942 as well as the salaries of these teachers from funds of the Reichsgaues Oberdonau are also to be borne. As far as these people's care allowances have so far been paid from other means (Partymdtteln), the reimbursement from the funds available to the Reichsgau in the Reich budget can therefore be carried out without further delay. It is not necessary, nor possible, to obtain the funds of the Reich Protector's household, because I am not available for these purposes for the period up to 31.3.1942 Kittel. However, for the time from 1.4.1942 onwards, the people's allowance will be paid from my household.
