The presidium denounced an appeal to the party by 70 communist intellectuals, artists, and Olympic games medal winners demanding that officials who misused power should be fired. Hit at Hard-liners The appeal, published In several influential newspapers yesterday, urged the public to "make this regime humane" and use strikes, boycotts, and demonstrations to force hardline communist officials out of office. The appeal caused a furor in the national assembly, where its author, Ludvik Vaculik, a writer, was accused of "inciting to counter-revolution" and was threatened with police reprisals. The document, issued on the eve of elections of district delegates to an extraordinary party congress set for September to weed out Stalinists, said there was widespread concern "that the progress of democratization has stopped" and that "the retaliation of the old forces would be cruel," Blaming the regime for slow progress in cleansing the party apparatus of orthodox ele-roents, the document said "a great part of the functionaries are resisting the changes," particularly in districts and communities where they "can use their power covertly and with impunity." Cite Changes Made Using language unheard since the liberal regime of party chief Alexander Dubcek replaced the old guard, the central committee's presidium said it would "oppose any attempts to carry out the appeal." A lengthy statement charged that the ideas voiced in the appeal "considerably impede, even jeopardize, the party's action program" to be adopted by the extraordinary congress. Threatening that "state bodies will insure by all available means full protection and observance of legal order," the presidium said the appeal contained "expressions of mistrust in the honesty of the new leadership." It recalled that much had been done already to improve the situation by abolishing press censorship and adopting legislation on rehabilitation of victims of Stalinism.
