Biographical History
National committees were established on the territory of Slovakia during the Second World War based on the decree of the President of the Republic no. 18/1944 of December 4, 1944. National committees have replaced the existing municipal councils in post-war Czechoslovakia. The District National Committee of Kráľovský Chlmec was responsible for the district administration between November 1944 and 1960 in 38 localities, including the seat of the district, Kráľovský Chlmec. The District National Committee had a wide range of competencies: the managing of the political, economic, and social life of the city, the confiscation of the property of "Germans, Hungarians, traitors and collaborators", the appointment of national administrations, the restoration and reconstruction of the national economy, tasks in the social and health spheres, the establishment of the National Security Corps, etc. Changes in the organization and activities of national committees occurred after the issuance of Constitutional Act No. 150/1948 Coll.. In 1960, as a result of the adoption of the new Czechoslovak constitution, further organizational changes took place in the frame of the National Committees and the Kráľovský Chlmec District ceased to exist.
