10 Czeehs Slip Over Border
into Germany in Week

NEUHAUSEN, Germany, Feb. 26
(P,.-At least 10 Czechs are known
to have slipped through their border
patrols near this frontier town this
week, reaching the American zone
of Germany under cover of darkness.
The only traffic across the heavily
guarded Czechoslovak frontier since
the Prague political crisis developed
has been by night and by stealth
All official crossing points are closed
and guarded by armed, uniformed
men.
The barriers have not been lifted
either at Neuhausen or at nearby
Wildenau to let any traveller through
in either direction since 1880 am.
Tuesday. Since last Sunday, issu-
ance of Czechoslovak entry visas for
tourists and news reporters has been
suspended. No Czechoslovak could
leave his country for any reason.
Foreigners needed special permits to
get out.
German border police say they
have seen groups Of as many as so
uniformed guards marching along
the Czech side of the border.

to party rallies.
Up until this morning there has
been no censorship of the Associated
Press. Other foreign newsmen also
to be working without re-
strictions on what they wrote.
Information was hard to get,
particularly about police matters.
But that condition existed before
the change in government. The
Ministry of the Interior is in charge
of police.
But before the government change,
opposition newspapers often carried
accounts that opened up paths to
information. Since Monday night,
outspoken criticism Of Communist
Party action has disappeared.
In preparation for the election,
the Communists have two main
tasks.
One is to write new constitu-
ton. This would replace the con-
stitution of the first republic, born
out of World War I and guided
to world respect by Thomas g..
Masaryk and later Mr.. Benes.
Work on the constitution has
Jagged in arguments over incor-
porating Communist ideas into it..
There is no reason now why the
work should not move quickly, with
the language and intent fitting the
MARKHAM pattern.
The second task, is to advance
as quickly as possible the aims of
labor as set forth by the unions.
Their chief demand is for ma
tionalization of every industry en-
ploying more than so persons. They
also seek:
/. Further naturalization affect
ing all internal wholesale trade, all
export and import wholesale trade,

aries of civil servants.
The trades union paper Prace
predicted a shakeup Of Czechoslo-
vakia's diplomatic service through
out the world.
Czech and Communist Party flags

The dark-haired, stocky man, a

following episode is worth recall

Some time ago, certain alleged

for retrial, made this significant
statement:

Mississippi Senate Acts
To End Secret Police Unii
BY the Asseeioisd Press

JACKSON, Miss, Feb. 26.-The
Mississippi Legislature is going
right along with its plans to dc
away with the States three-man
secret police" force.
A bill to repeal the act which Gre
ated the Mississippi Bureau of In
vestigation was given a favorable
report by a Senate committee yes
terday and it now goes to the full
Senate for action.
The MBI was created at a special
session last November to deal with
violence generated by bus strike.
It's critics call it a "Gestapo." Gov.
Fielding L. Wright says he didn't
ask for such a force in the first
place and doesn't want one now.
1t never has been used. The vio-
lence responsible for its creation
ceased when the force was organ
lied.
The act provides that members of
the MBI shall be known only to

Democrats Lose Fight
On S125,OOO Fund
For Special Probes
By the Asseeiufsd Press

The Republican-controlled Senate
yesterday smacked down a Demo-
Gratis attempt to cut off a $125, 900
fund for special Senate investiga-
'tions.
Senator Lucas, Democrat, of Illi-
'nois made the effort, but lost on q
voice vote. He accused the Repub-
licans of voting $125,000 just to tgo
out fishing" for something to in
vestigate.
The money was voted for the Sem
ate Expenditures Committee several
weeks ago. This group claims the
right to make all Senate investiga-
tions not assigned to other commit
tees.
Senator Lucas moved to have the
committee turn the money back to
the Senate's general funds.
He said the committee hasn't
even said what sort of investiga-
i tions it intends to make.
Battling back, Chairman Aiken
said the investigation would be OF
anything that may be criminal"
"Bdt I'm not going to publicize it
in advance and give people notice
that they are under surveillance, I"
Senator Aiken said.
No good prosecuting attorney
ever does that, he added.
Senator Lucas argued the War
Investigating Committees inquiry
into Howard Hughes wartime plane
contracts had dan ,ged the pres
tige of the Senate itself"
1t was so conducted, he said
that the American people are still
skeptical about" all congressional
inquiries.

Efforts to. reach President Benes
for an interview have been un-
availing, .-..4
Using the threat of Communist
led general strike, Gottwald finally
forced Mr.. Benes last night to ap-
prove the new Communist govern
ment. The President accepted res
ignations of IA anti-Communist
ministers, IL of whom had quit a
week, ago to protest Communist
moves toward controlling the Sc
curity forces of the nation.
In six days of bloodless revolu-
ton, the Communist Party had
pressed its demands and won. II

ders through the police and "action
committees" to the whole country
It had crushed-for the time being
at least-all effective opposition.
Next Goal to Win Election.
The Communists next goal is tc
win the coming election and a ma
iority in Parliament, where they
now have SO per cent of the seats
by themselves and 50 per cent with
their allies, the Social Democrats
Strategy in the meantime was to
tighten their grip on. the country
by putting down opposition.
The election date has not been
decided. When it comes, the like
lihood seems to be that voters will
be given a choice of several tickets
but that candidates on those other
than the Communist will have to be
in the Communist phrase-"demo-
cratic progressive members.
Many of the big names in the
three parties whose ministers re-
signed to initiate the cabinet crisis
are parliamentary deputies. Pend
ing an election, no one could say
whether some other way might be
found to oust them or have a par
committee strip them of
immunity.
Charges Long Built Up.
Only men approved by Gottwald
are considered spokesmen for their
parties. There was a possibility
that the parties themselves, under
these new leaders. might purge the
resigned ministers and open the
way to their prosecution as accused
enemies of the state.
The Ministry of the Interior, long
Communist controlled, has been
building up its charges against
many of the ministers for months.
In a cabinet meeting February 18,
Gottwald himself charged a right
wing putsch plot. Accusations have
been made that spies for the west
ern powers have been using Czecho-
slovakia as a base to work against
Russia.
The Communists had a propa-
ganda campaign under way against
foreign and domestic reaction" In
it, they had the use of Communist
