Czechs Avoid Strike Over Smrkovsky Fate
In Prague the Czech Slovak communist leadership persuaded the large metal workers union to forego a general strike over National Assembly President Josef Smrkovsky’s political future. The union urged Smrkovsky be considered alongside Petr Colotka for the federal assembly chair, though Colotka is the preferred option. The ruling party recommended Colotka as top post with Smrkovsky as deputy chairman, a plan echoed by Czech and Slovak party branches. The leadership warned further agitation could lead to tragic consequences and noted student groups might have supported action under solidarity pacts.
