I decided I'd better do so immediately. Wheh I got to his office, I found a line of fifteen people waiting to make schedule changes. I didn't let the long queue faze me - I decided I would stick it out. It was eleven o'clock when I joined the throng. About an hour later, when I had moved up approximately eight and a half feet and had consumed my lunch, I gave up, promising myself that I would come back the next day. I came back the next day and found a chain of approximately twenty people waiting to see one of Wilke College's busiest men. As I came up the steps two fellows were coming down, carrying a freshman. When I had taken my gus- ,er tomary spot at the end of the line, s I asked, "What happened to him?"

By JACK REESE The story behind what happened last week in Czechoslovakia when the Communists of Russia took over the government is described clearly and emphatically by G. E. R. Gedye in the Feb. 28, 1948 issue of THE NATION magazine. The article, "Behind the Struggle for Czechoslovakia," was written by Gedye, Eastern European corres- pondent for the London Daily Her- ald, from Prague on Feb. 10. Gedye begins the article with the self-explanatory sentences, "To the average Czech the most mport- ant thing about Russia is that when Chamberlain and Daladier brought about the destruction of the First Republic at Munich, Stal- in offered to support the abandon- ed Czechs if they would defy Hit- ler. That made more impression than the Soviet treaty with Ger- many, which Russia observed until it was itself attacked and which secured Hitler against the dreaded 'two-front war' and enabled him to launch destruction on the world within a few days of its signa- ture." Although there existed friendly The jury finds Frsehmen Shirley Babcock and Joe Deshak guilty.

"The logical deduction was that the future lay with the Commun- ist party, and many people acted accordingly. But when the non- Communist parties made it clear that being tied to Russia need not deter them from resisting com- munism at home, there was a fresh reaction. The opportunitists who had rallied to the Communists fell away, the Communist pros- pects for the general elections of May, 1948, began once more to de- cline." Here was where the Communist leader, Premier Gottwald, a n d Deputy Premier Zdenek Fierlinger, pro-Russian chief of the Social Democrats, decided to try to beat the issue. They issued a statement signed by themselves and two other leaders of each party in the absence from Prague of other prominent Socialists who were definitely opposed to fusion with the Communists. Such an act was without authority because they had not consulted their party executives. When some Communist propagan- da posters indicated that it was fusion, immediately a wave of in- dignation swept from within the rank and file of the Socialists.

At the end of Septem- ber, the "Bratislava plot" was un- covered, in which Durcansky, a fugitive fascist, was impligated. It appears that Durcansky at- tempted to establish a network of information and resistance posts within the country. The "Sidor plot" was a third incident, but of no important or serious conse- quence. Gedye concludes his article with an intelligent and opinionated pre- diction which last week turned out to be a reality. He writes, "The next few weeks are likely to be the most critical in the history of the Second Republic, since everyone knows that fte Communists will not take their setback at Brno and Bratislava lying down.
