CHICAGO, March 15, 1939 (UP) -- Dr. Eduard Benes, who resigned the Presidency of Czechoslovakia during the Sudetenland crisis last fall, canceled a scheduled California speaking tour today because of further German invasion of the nation he helped to found.
He secluded himself in his hotel after conducting a regular weekly seminar last night as a visiting professor at the University of Chicago.
Before the seminar last night Dr. Benes was visited by Jan Masaryk, son of the first President of Czechoslovakia, who speaks tonight at a mass meeting of Chicago Czechs on the fate of their fatherland.
