Slovak Interior Minister Sano Mach has decided that the Hlinka Guard should honor with special festivities all communities having no Jews among their inhabitants, a German wireless report said today.
The German wireless also reported that Slovak authorities had uncovered a central bureau for propaganda against the state. The four heads of the bureau were stated to have been arrested and a considerable amount of printed matter was confiscated. Court proceedings against 10 other persons accused of complicity in these activities were opened. All the persons involved are Jews, according to the German report.
