GUNMAN SHOOTS 5 AT MEMORIAL RITES

Crazed Cop-Hater Killed in ~‘Manhattan Battle.

Ew YORK, Aug. 15 w: P)— Two policemen and three civilians,

shot by. a crazed cop-hater during & hushed moment of the annual memorial service for the Police Department's Legion of Honor, all may survive their wounds, surgeons said today. The assailant, dead, was Charles Sanfillippo, 32, who invaded : the Central Park mall wearing metal plates over his back and chest and carrying a gun under each arm. He blazed away into a crowd of 3000 standing with howed heads in honor of 14 policemen slain in action. Many policemen, caught without their : guns, charged the assassin empty-handed. Those who had guns red ‘25 ‘shots before they brought him: down, and in tribute to their arksmanship; they did hot woutid a single- spectator. *- The crowd, plunged fronr solem= nity .into bedlam, stampeded across the.park. .. . One of those wounded was Lieut. James P. McDonnell, holder of. 14 medals for valor. A charge of buckshot . struck him: in the face. Drenched with blood, he. tried to shove aside restraining hands, protesting: “I want to get that guy who .got me.” Sanfillippo crouched behind a tree to do his shooting. He first emptied a double-barreled shotgun and then fired with a. repeating. gun. The reason .for his act. was found later in his pockets—two summons for traffic violations and a. letter denouncing. policemen in scathing terms. The, seryice was being - broadcast over. WNYC and the shots and screams were heard throughout the city. The police band struck up a lively tune to allay panic while the bullets still were flying.

Czechs stiffen Attitude in Crisis

PRAHA, Aug. 15 (U. P.)—Acute anxiety over Germany's gigantic Army maneuvers was plainly apparent today. It was reflected in a stiffening of the Government’s attitude on the minorities problem and by forecasts that important decisions would be taken at a meeting of the National Defense Council tomOITow, There was a disposition in most other capitals to minimize the significance of the war games which started at dawn today, but not here. For one thing, the opinion was expressed that the maneuvers might strengthen the Sudeten ‘German Minority Party in its demands for concessions and . particularly that they might induce Viscount Runciman, British “adviser” in the minorities problem, to urge further concessions by the Government. For another, people did not welcome the presence of large bodies of troops

near Czechoslovakia.

‘Quarters close to the Interior

Ministry intimated that Premier

Milan Hodza was prepared to stand firm if the Sudeten German Party attempted to utilize Germany’s “show of strength” to obtain maximum concessions in the minority problem.

Leaders of the six coalition parties on which the Government depends for support were emphatic i their demands that the Cabinet’ resist any pressure from any source.

Sudeten executives declared they did not intend te link any happenings in Germany with the minority negotiations. At the same time they said they would not consent to negotiate with members of the Government coalition parties and they would insist on negotiating with the Government alone.

een ‘Gravest Fortnight in Europe’s History’ Seen

LONDON, Aug. 15 (U, P)— Officials and Conservative newspapers joined today in minimizing the importance of German Army maneuvers [but Opposition: newspapers insisted that there was reason for concern. An unnamed diplomat” was quoted in the News Chronicle, Liberal, as. saying: “Europe is entering perhaps the gravest fortnight in her history.

Russia “charged that Japanese troops: violated the truce Thursday’ night by advancing approximately 100 yards to occupy the northern slope of Changkufeng Hill, where the fighting had started after Russian troops occupied the hill July 11, The Japanese advance brought the Russian and Japanese lines within 14 to 15 feet of each other, an official communique said today, and there was danger of a spontaneous. clash at any moment.
