50a - 2 - 0073 Furthermore, the minister spoke about the dinner given by the Reich Protector for the Protectorate Government in honor of the President of the State on the anniversary of his election. Bienert was allegedly sitting next to the Minister of State." K.H. Frank, among other things, only happened to drink benert, but he did not do this to Krejči and Moravec. @Beenert stressed that it was probably not right for both of them to be mentioned, and that they were jealous. Bienert once again asserted that it was probably a coincidence, and if this were not the case, then his (Beenert's) action would have been appreciated wisely.'Benert stressed that he did not play theatre and also did not bow to the ground, but as an old political official, did in his place what he thought was the only right thing to do. Only by the way did the minister mention that he had the impression that Krejči's and Moravec's position was not as firm as it looked. In Moravek, B. did not give the reason, but as far as Krejši was concerned, he said that it dates back to the time when his secretary Dr. Novák was arrested and Krejži apparently suffered from it. However, Bienert does not believe that Krejči agrees with what the arrested secretary did, but in any case it is an unpleasant thing for him.
