Some of those residents have informed The Citizen that they have called the police department to report the thefts or thefts, but seldom has an ar- rest been made. Naturally, the boys run away when they see a po- liceman, but an officer in plain clothes likely would be able to catch them, particu- larly in the cemetery and in the Martello Towers section.

He reports that “politically and economical]- ly” the Czechs are making “a splendid recovery.” We call attention to what the Ambassador says be- cause there has been little news from Cechoslovakia.
