The Havas agency reports from Prague that a large body of the Gestapo (secret police) is already active in the city. The inhabitants who are kept indoors under the curfew imposed yesterday resorted to the telephones, only to find the lines tapped.

Fifty thousand Jews in Prague who went to toed in Bohemia and woke up to find themselves in Germany are now desperately seeking avenues of escape. It is estimated that there are at least 250,000 Jews In Czechoslovakia. The plight of those in Slovakia is almost' as bad as those in Bohemia since the Hlinka Guard is fanatically antisemitic. ' ■ . It is believed that of the 50,000 Jews who have been preparing to leave the country since Munich only a small proportion will be enabled to secure British or other funds. In addition thousands of Sudeten social democrat Germans in Bohemia are facing a terrible fate.
