dent Haeht dismissed Premier
Tiso and two other minister from
Slovakia and sent Czech troops
into the autonomous territory to
check on the radical elements
which are demanding full inde

port that came from a broadcast
from a Vienna radio station that
the Slovak premier had protest
ed to Hitler that his dismissal
was unconstitutional. Tiso was
placed under police supervision,
informed quarters said, and it
was impossible for him to com
municate with the German chan
cellor.
Other sources said Ander Hen
ke. German charge d'affairs in
formed Dr. Frantisek Chvalkov
sky that Germany regarded rhe
Slovakia issue as purely a Czech
oslovakian domestic concern.
