Ozech Mafia Holds llopes Of Freedom

PRAGUE. Aug. 3 '-—(AP)--The Czech Mafia, secret, underground organization which played a large role in creating conditions which made a Czech state possible after the Great War, is again at work. Now. as when the Greens were under the Hapsburgs, the object is to wrest freedom from the rulers.

Gennans have the upper hand. but the young Czechs who have volunteered for service have kept the Nazi Gestapo (secret police) under constant strain since Ger-

many clamped a protectorate over lof directors oi the Bank of Mont-

‘Bohemia and Moravia last March.

The old Maila_ which gave much trouble to the Austrc-Hungarian Empire. died out during the 20 years of independence the Czechs enjoyed. But the skeleton was unearthed and 1030 flesh was hastily strung over the time-worn bones. '

Keeping the people united and providing information to organiz- ations of Czechs abroad on the situation inside the country are the main objects of the Mafia.

It also recruits man for the Czech Legion which general Iev _ Prchalc. commands in Poland. Once recruited. the men have to be smuggled across the border. There are supposed to be about 18,000 membe o of General Prchnlzrs forces intended to be at the service of my country willing to help the Czechs regain their independence. The legion. too, was a revival of

Further disoriepanctes in the har- rowing calls—-supposedly sent. by an ship's officer after the radio oper- atour was badly hurf,—were noted soon but the Coast Guard didn't. immediately abandon its costly search.

“All the evidence points to a hoax." said Lieut. W. B. schiebel of the Coast Guard air station, “but. we can't take any chances."

Coast Guard headquarters at Jacksonville commented blunt-Ly: ‘The whole thing stin ."

"There doesn't appear to be a chance that the messages came from a ship in distr-e.=s." said Ar- thur S. Fish at the Miami office of the Federal Communications

Offender Sought

He said the F.C.C. had some cause to believe the signals came from a land station in the Tampa area. He put. investigators ‘nto the field and assembled recor.\ of radio direction finders used on the mysterious messages, but explained it would be hard to find the of- fender because the hunt, started after the signals ceased.

Conviction of sending false dis- tress calls carries a maximum penalty of a $10,000 fine and two years’ imprisonment.
