basis for directives concerning the exploitation of these disputes for the
economic and political gain of the "peoples' democracies" and the USSR, From

issued two bulletins daily. One is an ordinary daily press review, and the
other, a confidential review which contains extracts from the press which are
inimical to Czechoslovakia The first copy of this latter bulletin goes

special request and permit for it are necessary in order that an official of
25x1---'the ministry receive it regularly. even the distribution
of the ordinary bulletin has been 3.intited of late. This department has been
suffering from a lack of qualified personnel. After the puteeh, it had no
attraction for now personnel, as the better posts, that is, of cultural attaches,
were being given to employees of the Ministry of Information. The staff and
25X1 service of the entire Press and Information section has an extremely poor
standard. Members include Ministerial Councillor BROZ, a journalist of long
standing who is well acquainted with the situation within the ministry, as
well as among Prague politicians; Ruzena 1 ATEJOVSKA, who worked in the archives
section with Katherine BREHOVSKA and _Mrr. ;APITA.NOVA; Ministerial Councillor

at the instruction of the Communist !'arty. ZEdLA, formerly on the Faculty of
Law at Charles University, joined the ministry after he performed the first
large scale purge at the University. He is reputed to be the central figure
in the dispute between the ministry's two Communist factions. One with nation-
.list tendencies is headed by Ing. BOREK and is backed by VITKU and Oldrich
CHYLE, The other group is represented by Dro HAJDU, ZEMLA, BIHILER, and DUFEK,
The beginning of friction between the two began over a
25X1- report submitted by ZEMLA against BOREK criticising the latter for his lack of
25X1 severity against "reactionary" elements, his tolerance and decency.
As a result of the friction,

he was finally reinstated after a period of probation; CHYLE was sent out with
