LIDICE PURGE

Nazis Carried On Slaughter

After Patriots Died.

By LEO 8S. DISHER United Press Staff Correspondent ‘PRAGUE, July 1l.—Lidice was wiped out and thousands of Czecho- . slovaks were murdeted in reprisal for the assassination of the Nazi hangman, Reinhardt Heydricn, after the patriots who did the Job | already had paid for it with their | lives, it has been revealed. Evidence now available indicated that the Nazis maintained the fiction of a search for the assassins long after they were dead as a pretext for continuing the | slaughter, After the first round of ‘inquiry, the Nazis proclaimed that unless the assassins were caught within 24 hours, they would shoot one-tenth of all the men in Prague. Before the deadline, they found the assassins in the basement of a church. They besieged and flooded it. The men in the basement shot themselves, The blood bath of Czechoslovakia followed. Natural Death

For the first time it also was reported reliably that “Hangman” Heydrich actually died of heart disease, The wounds he suffered in the explosion in his car were described as contributory to but not the primary cause of his death. New light was shed on the assassination by the stories of a hospital sister, Lida Chytilova and a graying street-car motorman, Vaclaw Lastovka. The sister saw an emergency operation performed upon the notorious “protector” of BohemiaMoravia, and the motorman saw the actual attack. « Sister’ Chytilova sald she knew Heydrich died seven days after the attack, but that it was not ‘the wounds that killed him but a bad heart.

Witnessed Explosion lastovka said the attack was made about 10:30 a. m. on the bright, hot May 27, 1942. It was on the outskirts of Prague at a place called Vychovatelna, where the streets from a Letter Y. Heydrich’s car was making the regular morning trip toward his country home, and Lastovka saw it as his trolley moved toward it, He said Heydrich sat alone in the rear of the black Mercedes sedan. “I didn't see the men jump from behind the trees near Heydrich’s car,” the motorman said, “but I heard shots and then an explosion. I saw Heydrich leap-up and shiver. Next I saw a man running up the tracks ahead of me. He ran to a house and seized a hidden bicycle.” A policeman appeared and ordered Lastovka to move the trolley. The motorman saw Heydrich signal to a truck, climb aboard it, and start for the nearby Bulowka hospital. Wounded in Back Sister Chytilova, who was in the Bulowka hospital, said Heydrich had only one wound from the explosion.

All craft which were repairable were turned over to the army or navy, he sald—but most of the ships have been beached-as useless. “We are not interested in any salvage work for material” Sullivan said.. “We are only attempting to clear the harbor and for that reason we have not yet touched any Jap warships which were sunk here.” ; The ship being removed today was one of four sunk across the entrafice to the harbor. Until now, only one of the four had been cleared.
