Last March 10 Jan Masaryk, foreign minister of Czechoslovakia under the Communist regime, fell winto his death from a third-stor- y dow in the foreign office in Prague. Since then Masaryk friends, a well as many who never knew him but admired him because of his hopeless fight in behalf of Czechoslovakias national liberty, have speculated long as to whether he committed suicide or was killed by the Communists who wanted him out of the way. The official Communist version of the Incident was suicide, but toq many persona had too many doubt to let it rest at that Then, suddenly, last month the doubts were crystallized. Dr. Oskar Klinger, Masaryks personal physician, asserted that the Czech statesman did not commit suicide. He waa sure of that, he said, because he and Masaryk had planned to escape by plane to Great Britain on the very day that Masaryk died. Klinger said that the security police discovered Masaryks plan to flee and came to his rooms that night to arrest or kill him. Defending himself, Masaryk shot and killed possibly four men. With the remaining men closing it; Klingers version went, Masaryk was forced closer and closer to the window. Then, the men either threw him out the window or, overwhelmed by fear, Masaryk flung himself out In proof of his conviction, Klinger offered this evidence: have comMasaryk would-nevmitted suicide because be was afraid of physical pain. Also, he left no note or letter a usual practice in suicides. Shots were heard In the building the night he died, and four coffina were carried from the place that morning before the Czech commission arrived to inspect Masaryks body, indicating that four persons might have been killed during the er night Here are five questions, based on recent bappemrgs in tbe news, which are guaranteed not to beep yon awake nights.
