Berlin wondered whether Adolf
Hitler himself had been confer
ring on the rebellious situation in
the Czech protectorate of Bohemia
and Moravia with the strong man
he recently sent there to restore
order-Secret Police Gen. Heinrich
Heydrich. Such conjecture arose
because Gen. Heydrich went to Ber-
lin Friday to hear the Fuehrer's
speech in the Sportspalast and
walked by Hitler's side into the huge
auditorium.
In this connection it was recalled
that Gen. Alois Elias, the premier
of Bohemia and Moravia, was under
a death sentence which only Hitler
could commute.
The German military commander
for Belgium and Northern France
acted to prevent another form of
opposition to German rule by de-
creeing the death penalty for Bel
glanS or Frenchmen attempting to
join the armed forces of a nation at
war with Germany and for even in
ducing others to join.
