The Ganleter of Lieder-Donan Vienna, 4th Jan 1940. Mr. State Secretary Karl Hermann Fr a n k Prag Czerninpalais Dear party comrade Frank! As Pg.Dipl.Ing.Wolff, who returned from a working meeting of the regional planner ih Berlin, told me, he was opened by Mr. Dr.Jarmer that you had raised concerns about the establishment of the district planning committees in the party circles Brno and Iglau. I must be surprised that I am receiving this message by detour through Berlin, since my frequent stay in Prague would have been the public opportunity to discuss this matter. When the Working Group on Planning and the two County Planning Committees were set up, it was always stressed that this was an institution of the party. I cannot do without this as a consultative body of political leadership. However, so that you can see that I have no intention of interfering with matters of state administration and in order to prevent further misunderstandings by calling them, I have ordered the working community now to call the name "Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Grenzlandfragen" and the previous district planning committees the "Kreisgrenzlandkommissionen". Heil Hitler! fi2 Jury 1y 36 Gaueh Der 6GLet (Gauleiter Dr.Jury).
