In their editorial comment, most of the papers opine that the Czecho-Slovakian diplomat was in all ibood the victim of a G.P.U. ruse.

The "Voss Gazette" points out that when the GP.U. wants to get rid of an inconvenient individual, they involve me in some compromising fair that brings about his removal from the scene. This was doubtless the ease with Col. Wanjek, says U.S.
