THAT'S
ANGEROUS
Heydrich took over office yesterday when he issued his first decree proclaiming a state- of emergency in six districts of the protector- afe of Bohemia and Moravia. This procla mation will enable swift and drastic action to be taken against those suspected of opposi- tion to the Nazi regime.
Observers in London believe it
to be a prelude to a fresh wave
of arrests without trial, and sum- mary executions.
Simultaneously came the report of an unsuccessful attempt on the life of Dr. Tuka, Nazi-appointed premier of Slovakia.
