1. Most of the high government officials in Slovakia appear to be political
newcomers who were largely even unheard of before the rtshufflings of
officials under the Communists.
2. Jan Marcelly, currently the Slovak Commissioner of the Food Industry, is
very likely the Jan Marcelly whose name was pronounced with a certain fear
during the years 1946-48. He played an important role in the Slovak
5X1X6 Secret Police but what his function. or duties were. This
Jan Marcelly was a professional soldier and was known as an ardent
communist. The fact that he apparently now ends as Commissioner of the
Food Industry, a field about which he knows nothing, indicates to me that
he is in decline.
3. The Commissioner of Justice Juraj Uhrin, may be the former lawyer of the
Bataworks in Batisovce in Slovakia whom I met only once. He was a strong
'tBataman't- - which means he advocated private initiative in the economy.
I know nothing of his present political attitudes.

4+. Pavol MaJl1gj was considered as a communist theoritician as was his former
boss Dr Branik . Branik, also a zealous communist
practioner, has apparently terminated his political career. Perhaps he
disappeared as "tguilty" in one of the last purges or the ravages of
advanced tuberculosis may have forced his withdrawal from public life.
