CZECHS FEAR NAZIS
WILL TOTTEN GRIP

Proeetorate May Yield To
Closer Union.
Prague Reports have b:en
current that reorganization of
Germany’s Bohemla-Moravia pro
tectorate might result from in
cidents in which a Czech and| a
German policeman were killed.

Czech population and German of

Another purpose was described
as an effort to reconcile the
Czechs to the new order and per
suade - them to enter into more in

lations with Germany.
Germany's problem, German
circles said, was to choose be
tween methods —complete do
mination by force or an appease

passive resistance" which has
