Eyewitness in Czecho-Stovakia A LEXANDER HENDERSON, late Editor-in-Chief of the Central

European News Agency, is just back from Prague, where for a year he was in closer contact with official quarters than any other journalist. His Eyewitness in Czecho-Slovakia (1o/6 net) is a personal narrative of events in the doomed republic from March 1938 to March 1939, the final chapter being written after the German invasion and telling of the German, Italian, and Polish intrigues in Slovakia and of conditions in Prague when Hitler entered it. It dis- closes much new information--e.g., about Nazi pro- paganda methods, Japanese and Italian plans in case of war last September, the ' secret ' Czech-Hungarian war, and is fully documented.
