Czech Communist Leader Slansky Faces Charges Amid Shakeup
Western observers tie the September move to Moscow orders tightening Czech ranks against Titoism. Slansky was announced for another state post but details were vague. A Vienna broadcast attributed charges of spying to Slansky, described as a red haired, amiable man in his late 40s, with no elaboration. He reportedly admitted, under pressure, that he was too soft with coworkers and ignored Stalin’s dictum that party mistakes can never be excused. Growing unrest in Czechoslovakia accompanied the government shakeup.
