Czechs in Prague yesterday in con-
tinuance of the week long purge

measures in former Yugoslavia TO
put down a revolt which has broken
out as part of a widespread but
loosely connected rising against the
Axis rulers from Norway to Greece

to have met death by hanging or
before the firing squad in the Czech
purge, although the exile Czech gov

to the German Gestapo.
The seven executed included three
Jews charged with preparation for
treason. economic sabotage and un-

 The use of portable diagnostic ape paratuS, such as trailer with x-ray equipment, has greatly facilitated discovery of early tuberculosis ifa this state, he said. Moreover, this is one of the few states in the coun- try which has no waiting list for admission to sana4oria, according to DT. Phelps.
