IIIuRTTOQV Prague, 5 May 1944 IIIa 113 - 24 Minlstoram 8. MAI1944 7.: uy odq Minister of State K.H.P r a n k at home Subject: Re-regulation of salaries; here: application to the clergy The new regulation of salaries of the protectorate staff, which entered into force in January 1984, does not apply to the spirituality. Although from the church side, apart from unofficial inquiries, no intentions to reorder the salary of their clerics analogous to that of the protectorate officials have become apparent, it seemed to me appropriate to consider whether the new regulation should also be extended to the clergy. It is about 3 o0o clerics of all denominations, for which the Kongrua supplement would then have to be increased. I agree with the Finans department that this Prague is not acute for at least as long as not all parts of the protectorate staff are covered by the new regulation. If, for political reasons, it seems desirable to include the clergy in the new regulation, I ask for instructions. Hetel alar A1y5 St.M.πD - 49 st/43
