It is assumed some will try .

to sabotage the reform.

“The old methods of man- agement are so firmly en- trenched. that it will not -be easy to abandon them, says Prof: Otaker Sik, sdmetimes called the father of reform.

Sik knows he's up against powerful people—some more powerful than he—but one of his strengths is that he offers a cure for a chronic {fllness. This was the consideration that apparently brought An- tonin Novotny, president and Communist~party chief, around to backing reform. ~-Noevotny, an_old-guard Com- munist: whose leadership ex- tends back te the Stalin era, accepted the. changes only after he had become con- vinced. of the absolute neces- sity ;
