Ii Lothar Bole, Last German-?brei1 Minister, left for' Prague on
'
25X1
Bolz's trip had not been reported in newspapers and, in general, had
been kept secret outside the Foreign Ministry. Bolz made the trip
along, although his personal Referent, Ewald Moldt, has not been seen
around the Foreign Ministry since Bolz's departure.
2. Bolz is to be given a new official carp a ZIM, His old JIM is being
overhauled and is to be turned over to Ferdinand Thun, chief of protocol
in the Foreign Ministry.
3. Wilhelm Meissner, chief of Main Department (HA) III in the Foreign
Ministry, attended the Prague Conference on 29 and 30 December 1954.
He returned to Berlin on 31 December. His name was not published as
one of the delegates attending the conference.
4. The Abteilung zur Betreuung der Diplomaten will be separated from the
Foreign Ministry and will receive independent status on 1 February 1955.
It will be moved out of the Foreign Ministry to Dorotheastrasse in
Karlshorst, in or near a building where the Soviet Consulate was formerly
located.
5. In order to check and control the attendance of Foreign Ministry em-
ployees at the 16 January 1955 demonstration against the Paris
Agreements in East Berlin, each employee had to sign a slip, stating
whether or not he would participate,i.i the demonstration. The slips
had to be returned to Martin Bierbach, secretary of the SED BPO in
the Foreign Ministry for carefulichecking. This is the first time in
the history of the Foreign Ministry that employees had to state in
written form whether or not they would participate in a political
demonstration. This new practice has generated a feeling of disgust
among Ministry employees.
