Thousands of Sokols in their flashing uniforms-shirts of Garibaldi red, grey Czech jackets slung from their left shoulders, little round red caps with falcon feathers-last week poured into Prague's big, bustling Masaryk and Wilson (named after Woodrow Wilson) railway stations, stomped out to the mammoth Masaryk Stadium,* high above the silvery Vltava River and the cathedral towers of the capital. There, in white jerseys and blue trousers and skirts, they twisted and bent in mass exercise. Before the month is over, 160,000 members will have participated in such elaborate drills...
FURTHER - Amelie Posse-Brazdová -Dutton ($3.50). Continuation of the autobiography begun in Sardinian Sideshow, recounting life in post-War Italy, meetings with Czechoslovakian Patriot Masaryk and music students in Rome; by a Swedish lady who tells it with the air of a motherly, experienced traveler sending news of the great world to the folks back home...
Died. Dr. Thomas Garrigue Masaryk, 87, founder and first President of the Czechoslovakian Republic: of pneumonia; at Chateau de Lany, near Prague. The son of a coachman, Masaryk worked his way through the Universities of Vienna and Leipzig to a Ph.D. in 1876. Two years later he married an American, Charlotte Garrigue, who died in 1923.

The meeting was boycotted by totalitarian Russia, Germany and Italy, but when the old lady, peering sharply from behind high baskets of pink and red roses, began to speak, it was in full-throated Italian. At 67, Dottoressa Maria Montessori had called...
Meanwhile great Professor Thomas Garrigue Masaryk, revered "Father of Czechoslovakia" (which is often called "the last European stronghold of genuine Democracy") has retired from its Presidency tranquil in his own mind that the so-called "dictators" of today are in fact a genuine expression in new guise of the popular will-that is of Democracy. Placing the tips of his old fingers together in the quiet of his study at Prague, piercing-eyed, piercing-minded Professor Masaryk-even though the Hitler dictatorship is an ever-present military threat to the Czechoslovak Republic-philosophically points out that the German people...
