Formation Of Czech
Legion in Poland
Is Reported
Brother of Ex-President
Benes in Warsaw After
Quiet Stoy in Bohemia
BY the Associated Press,


PRAGUE, June 13.-Reports that
Volta Benes. brother of the former
Czecho-Slovak President Eduard
Benes, had slipped into Poland after
living obscurely in Bohemia for some
months heightened interest here to-
day in a so-called Czech legion being
formed across the frontier.
Czech quarters in Prague esti-
mated that Gen. Vladislav Prchala,
who commanded Czechs resist
ing Hungarion occupation of Car
patho Ukraine in March. had gath
cred about him in Poland $4,000
able-bodied men and that the num-
ber was increasing daily.
Hundreds of young men have been
disappearing from Prague. Bruenn
and other communities in the pro-
tectorate of Bohemia -Moravia.
They have gone, their friends
whisper, to join the legion of Czech
patriots being formed by Gen.
Prchala. After a dramatic escape
from the protectorate, the general
reached Poland May % and pre-
dicted Germany would have serious
trouble with the Czechs in case of
a German-Polish war.
Whether Volta Benes was in anv
way connected with organization of
the legion could not be established
here. 1t was known, however. that
many Of the legionnaires were his
friends.
The question arousing speculation
was whether the legion was getting
any underground announcement
from Czechs in the United States.
Ex-President Benes is now in
America.
Only after verifying to their sat-
isfaction reports that Volta Benes
had gone to Poland did his friends
admit he had been living quietly in
Bohemia.
