RESISTANCE TO NAZIS

CZECHS AND DUTCH PUNISHED.

P.A. Cable.

LONDON, Oct. 24.

Czech industrial resistance is so consistent that the Germans now suspect sabotage in the slightest machine failure or illness of a worker, reports Reuter's German frontier correspondent. The entire staff of a department of the Skoda works and their families were shot, and the Germans sent to concentration camps every tenth worker in an aircraft factory at Letov. Relatives some days ater received urns containing their ashes. Sneering letters accompanied several urns. One read: "Your husband slipped on a banana skin and died." An escapee from Holland stated that 25 Amsterdam professors were dismissed as a reprisal for a bomb attack against the headquarters of the Nazi Students' Front. Germans in Lille imposed an 8.30 p.m. curfew till October 25 as a re-, sult of a grenade attack on a cafe reserved for German soldiers. The New York Times Stockholm 'correspondent says that a few Norwegians who were lucky enough to be released from German concentration camps have now received bills "for board and lodging during stay." The correspondent adds it is not known whether tips are included.
