CZECH SPORTSMEN ESCAPE INTO AUSTRIA
(10 a.m.) VIENNA, April 2. Three well-known Czech sportsmen escaped into Austria during the weekend, says the newspaper Arbeiter Zeitung. They are Josef Kajml, of the Bratislava football team, Kristof Greiner, secretary of the Bratislava Football Club, and Viktor Liska, also a footballer.
Greiner is alleged to have been "marked” because he said Britain still led the world at football. Meanwhile, in Prague, the Communist newspaper, Rude Pravo, commenting on a Cairo report that the tennis stars Drobny and Cernik have taken Egyptian nationality, said: “They lost their honour, betrayed their nation and sold their nationality. It would not be surprising if both the ‘new Egyptians’ worship Mohammed now since they for a long time worshipped the dollar.”
