CROAT REFUGEES TRAINED

AGAINST YUGOSLAVIA REPRESENTATIONS TO LEAGUE CONSIDERED CERTAIN

Geneva, To-day...

The possibility of strong Yugoslav represen- tations to Hungary is envisaged as the result of a confession made by a Croat, Novak, who was ar- rested at Thonon in connection with the Mar- seilles assassinations.

Novak sald that his name was really Hospice. He had been sentenced to death during his absence from Yugoslavia for mur ders, and had sheltered in a refugee camp in Hungary, where he had been trained in terrorist activities. He received a special mission, and went with two other Croats to Zurich, where they joined the Assassin, Kelemen, and another Croat named Shilny. All five went to Fontainbleau, where they split into two roups, Hospice and two others going to Paris, while Kelemen and Shilny went to Marseilles.

וי

HOSPICE ADMITTED THAT IF HE HAD RECEIVED OR DERS TO EXECUTE KING ALEXANDER HE WOULD NOT HAVE HESITATED TO CARRY THEM OUT.

Yugoslavia is almost sure to bring the matter to the notice of the League of Nations, especially as the Yugoslav Govern- ment last April called the attention of the League to the fact that Croat refugees in Hungary had formed an organisation for| terrorism in Yugoslavia.
