Free Czech Council
To Oppose Red Rule
Being Planned Here
BY Molcolm lomborne, Jr.

A Council Of Free Czechoslo-
vakia designed to spearhead Or
ganized resistance to the Com
munist regime in that country
may be formed here within the
next week or 10 days. it was
learned yesterday.
A group of exiled political lead
ers and other persons prominent
in Czech life is holding a series
of meetings in Pierce Hall looking
to formation of the council. DR..
Michael Hanak, former Czech dip
lomat. who is serving temporarily
as conference spokesman, said the
talks would continue for another
week.
The discussions opened formally
on Friday under the name of the
Provisional Committee of the
Council of Free Czechoslovakia. It
has drawn exiled Czech leaders
from Great Britain, France and
Canada.
Creation of the council would
mark the first organized resis-
tance to Russian domination by
refugees from Iron Curtain coun-
tries and. as such, eventually may
have wide reprecussions.
No Exile Regime Planned.
Significance is attched to the
fact the Czech leaders chose
Washington for their meeting.
This country has assumed new
world responsibilities and is the
accepted leader in the struggle
between the democracies and
Communists.
The conferes emphasize that
they do not contemplate estab-
lishment of a formal government
in-exile because of jurisdictional
disputes that would arise in the
United Nations and in diplomatic
circles. 1t also would embarrasS
the United States.
However, some sources saw in
the proposed council the nucleus
of a group that might assume
leadership in Czechoslovakis when
that country is freed of the Com
munist yoke.
Presiding at the talks here is
Dr.. Peter Zenkl, former vice pre-
nier and a close friend of the
late Czech president, Eduard
Benes. At a press conference here
last October he said civil war
may come to his country because
of the terrible" conditions under
which his countrymen live. He
noted that a resistance movement
exists there and said it could be
"of the greatest Importance when
the time comes -
Other Participants Listed.
Other participants are DR.. Luraj
Slavik, who resigned as Czech Am
bassador here when the Commu-
nists took over in Prague; DR..
josef Lettrich, former chairman
of the Slavic National Council;
DR.. Jan Papanak, former repre-
sentative to the U. N; Almost
Heidrich,. former secretary-gen-
eral of the Ministry Of Foreign
.AfairS, who recently escaped from
Tzechosaovakia and Frank tNemec
of Ottawa. Canada.
There were reports the proposed
council would set up regional Of
fees in London and Paris, with
Washington as probable head
quarters for all operations. :
AZ DFs.Haaak described the scoaia-
eH as q political organization with,
two obdectives: G To care for
Czech refugees and 60 to lead
the fight against communism in
Czechoslovakia.
He, gave no indication of how
these tasks would be carried out.

Der press conference emphasized

He has also said that if the

His objections have been over
ruled by the Waldorf PTA Execu-

Members of the PTA Council
said the vote was taken after
