This isouo of the AR announood another new soorganizetidn of the
Oseohoslovak Ametpur Radio sines the Communiet soisuro of the Czooho-
slovah govornmont in 148. This is the third roreani-etion of tho
Czechoslovak Amatour organization sinoo that dato.
Tho latoot chango is rolotod to the rospootIve position of the
Cseehoelovah anatours in the -aramilitary or anization called SVAeARU,
(The Aesoeiation for tho collaboration with the Czech aemed foeoos).
This oeganization ves oetaelishod in rovembor 1951 and is analoeoue
to the soviet 12aranil1taey organizatian oallod DOSAAL. The Czoohoslovak
Amatour Orclnizatian beoamo at that time one of tho five ori.inal
"oollootivo mom tors of the eVAeedis (soo my roviov of tho A. Jan.,
Fob. 1)5_ issue). Noo aocorlIn3 to the article (pa gk- -:(>6 of Ae) the
oolloctive status of the Czocenelovak omatour organization in the
SV;iL ue doelared void and tho tddividual mnatours Looano to
mombers of tho eVeoeele an the.baein of their individual nomborship.
On tho faeo of this announeomont it woull seam that tho chance
moo= nothinz; or voey littlo. novovor, tho author of the. artiolo, a
Ur. Josaph 3ajda, oxelainod the ',Jason? for this roorzanization. The
roasons aro hichly interosting. 11r. Oujda admits that 'tho oolleotigo
memborship of amatettirs in the SVAZARU had sono vory sorious defects.:
In tho first plae. tho activities of amatours could not take place
since thoro wore no official organe thieh would care about the neois
of the hame and thioh could chock thoir activities in the SVAZARU .
Secondly, continuod the author, ehis adminiotraoivo and oejonizaoional
ohaos had boon furthor intensified booauso ?amateurs did riot have
adequate contact with tho ro!jional and county committoos of tho g
Uovevor there woro more elofoote, as r. Oajda called them: 'There vas
no organitational unity, thoro vas no elann1n7,:; in the principal
units of tho orjanization, and tl:ore was no control and chock-up system
This fault les not oxolueively ponoontratA with the Coochoslovak
Amatour Orcanieaton. Other collective mombors 9f the Slieeetill had
similar dofoets, the artiolo statod and added: It too then decided
to abandQn the eolloctivo monVorahio and establish individual membordhip
instoad.:
According to the artielo, this roorcanization would enablo tho
SVileAe:ii to "conduct civilian military poo_arodneso trainino on a roal
masa movenont basis" and in t'eo easo of hams; to "er_paro a suit-
aele foundation for a r,a1 muatour noes movonont".
Tho roor anization was to bo effedtive as of Dee, 31, 1)52 and
the art:Lai? ooenod that the reorcanization ,"must not remain an )apae
but be ."implamentod in the field and also be "soeurod eolitically.
Ne must, cent id the author, norsuade and eonvinoo our mombere that
thie ehanzo is for their own coodand that of their or3anization."
(EL) Vote: This now change in the Czechoslovak amateur organizational
sot u only otrorethons OUP provious opinion that tho Czech anatours
boecott is continuing unabated, tAtt the Communists are unable to
create an amatour masa movement Looaufso of their arbitrary Oloiohsdhue.te
methodo. Ythalle it. cloona thot vary soon the Communiets will loave tho
amatours xnotty mueh to thamoolvoe unless they are villing to risk more
dofoato and loss of face.) 1]
