I. High Treason

The department in charge of high treason cases is highly taxed because of the numerous, and in part also very extensive emigrant problems. Upon my request, the president of the court of appeal has seen to it that the criminal senate will hold 4–5 meetings a week from now on. I hope that in this way the majority of all cases can finally be settled in the course of the spring.

II. Administration of Criminal Jurisdiction for Juveniles

*******

V. Breach of Work Contracts and Unauthorized Change of Residence of Foreigners

1. In my last situation report I already pointed out the difficulties which are created by the criminal prosecution of foreigners, especially Polish civilian workers, who leave their place of work and their assigned place of residence without authorization.
