GERMAN CONTROL

Bratislava, To-day. Government orders, neces- sitated by the entry of Ger- man troops into Slovakia, were announced by posters and over the radio.

Tokyo, To-day.

Both General Tada and General Isogai desire to re- tain their present posts as army group comman- der and Chief of the General Staff of the Kwan- tung Army respectively.

General Hata, former Commander-

in-Chief in Central China, who was then offered the post of War Minis- ter, has not yet made known his

decision.
