DR. EDW. BENES THREATENED Dr. Edward Benes, former president of Czechoslovakia, today received warning of a supposedly Nazi plot to assassinate him. A police guard was immediately provided. Several weeks ago, Dr. Benes received telephoned threats prior to a lecture engagement at Fort Wayne, Ind. Last April 19, Dr. Benes, a guest lecturer at the University of Chicago, accepted leadership of a worldwide movement to liberate Czechoslovakia, most of which has been absorbed by Germany.
