PHONE WARNING TO RESIGNED CZECH CONSUL
SYDNEY, March 15. Two anonymous telephone calls have been made to Dr. Karol Tokoly, former acting Consul-General for Czechoslovakia, who resigned after the death of M. Masaryk. When he answered the telephone the first time, a man’s voice screamed: “Traitor” in Czech. Later, the same voice warned him: “Be careful what you say.” According to Dr. Tokoly, there are about 1000 Czechs in Australia, of whom tlie majority are not Communists, though "there are more Communists among them than- I believed."
Dr. Tokoly’s successor, appointed by the Communist Government in Prague, is M. Karel Sakh, who is expected to arrive in Sydney at the end of the month.
