  The unusual electronic and magnetic properties of the systems
Ce$_3$Pd$_{20}$T$_6$ (T = Ge, Si) with two non-equivalent Ce positions are
discussed. The logarithmic growth of resistance for both the systems confirms
the presence of the Kondo effect in the two respective temperature ranges. The
two-scale behavior is explained by consecutive splitting of Ce ion levels in
the crystal field. The effects of the frustration caused by the coexistence of
the different positions of cerium are treated, which may also significantly
enhance the observed values of specific heat. A model of "molecular magnetism"
with Ce2 cubes is developed.
