MASARYK:
Murdered?

Last March 10 Jan Masaryk, for
eign minister of Czechoslovakia
under the Communist regime, fell
to his death from a third-story win
dow in the foreign Office in Prague.
Since then Masaryk's friends, as
well as many who never knew him
but admired him because Of his
hopeless fight in behalf of Czecho-
slovakia's national liberty, have
s%peculated long as to whether he
committed suicide or was killed by
the Communists who wanted him
out of the way.
The official Communist version of
the incident was suicide, but too
many persons had too many doubts
to let it rest at that.
Then, suddenly, last month the
doubts were crystallized. DR.. Oskar
Klinger. Masaryk's personal physi-
clan, asserted that the Czech states
man did not commit suicide.
He was SURE of that. he said, be-
cause he and Masaryk had planned
to escape by plane to Great Britain
on the very day that Masaryk died.
Klinger said that the security po-
lice discovered Masaryk's plan to
flee and came to his rooms that
night to arrest or kill him. Defend
ing himself, Masaryk shot and
killed possibly four men.
With the remaining men closing
it, Ringers version went, Masaryk
was forced closer and closer to the
window. Then, the men either threw
him out the window or, over
whelmed by fear. Masaryk flung
himself out.
In proof of his conviction, Klinger
offered this evidences:
Masaryk would lever have COM
mitted suicide because he was
afraid of physical pain. Also, he
left no note or letter-a usual prac-
tice in suicides.
Shots were heard in the building
the night he died, and four collins
we're carried from the place that
morning before the Czech commits
sion arrived to inspect Masaryk's
body, indicating that four persons
might have been killed during the
night.
