CZECHOSLOVAKIA: Big Brother

Jiri Hajek first revealed himself to be a Communist during the 1948 coup, when the Iron Curtain clanked down on Czechoslovakia. As a professor of international relations, he later proved his devotion to Big Brother by writing a book called The Wilson Legend in the History of the Czechoslovak Republic, a sleazy effort to debunk Czechoslovakia's esteem for Woodrow Wilson. For this and similar services, Hajek last May was made Czech ambassador to London.

He was as loyal a servant as Big Brother could wish. Discovering a concealed microphone in his office, Hajek concluded that the decadent British were spying on him. He complained to the British Foreign Office and demanded an investigation. He got one. The Foreign Office traced the planted mikes to a London shop, where they had been bought several weeks before -by a member of Hajek's own embassy staff. Big Brother was still watching.
