As the national assembly met in the Hradcany presidential castle to approve unanimously the constitutioal law establishing in principle a federated Czech-Slovan state a vital part of the now quickly shrinking but still surviving liberalization program the mood of the people was symbolized by what was believed to be the greatest popular turnout in decades.

Thousands of Czechs stood patiently in long queues for seven hours in chilly autumn weather to see an exhibit of the Bohemian crown jewels displayed at one of the castle's halls for the first time in 10 years. An estimated 100,000 persons filed Saturday and Sunday past the royal exhibit, an astounding and evidently significant gesture in a Communist country. Czechs who remember the earlier showings in 1929, 1945, 1955 and 1958 said that this week's turnout vastly exceeded the crowds on the past occasions. (c) The New York Times PRAGUE Czechoslovakia's Communist government paid unprecedented official tributes Sunday to the memory of Thomas G. Masaryk and Eduard Benes, the country's first two presidents, on the eve of the 50th anniversary of the foundation of the Czech Republic.

The laying of floral wreaths in the name of President Ludvik Svoboda on the graves of Masaryk at the village of Lany, near Prague, and of Benes at Sezimovo Usti, in southern Bohemia, marked the return of the two presidents to the pantheon of Czechoslovak heroes. Since the Communist takeover here in 1948 and until the liberal-oriented Communist regime took power last January, Masaryk and Benes have been historical "nonpersons," relegated to official oblivion. The Soviet Union, whose troops have been occupying Chechoslovakia since the August invasion designed to end the liberalizing experiment, portrayed the two men all last spring as enemies of the people and dangerous "bourgeois nationalists."
