In an effort to save his own scalp, Novotny himself was forced to fire two of his most loyal men-Interior Minister Josef Kudrna and State Attorney General Jan Bartuska. The Cabinet linked both men to the army coup attempt and, further, accused them of blocking efforts to clear the names of persons wrongly imprisoned...
