had left for Maehrisch-Ostrau to investigate the alleged beatings of Sudetens and other incidents. Incidents of which the Sudetens complained included the arrests— dating in some instances back as far as the first week of August— of Sudetens charged with possession of arms, the death of a Sudeten Army reservist, and the alleged “beating” of Sudeten leaders. The untimely arrival of the reports about the “unheard of” attacks caused the minority leaders to break their deliberations. “The occurrences show that the Government is not sufficiently master of the situation to undertake effective conversations with success, and bring them to a peaceful conclusion,” said one Sudeten statement. Leap From Train Reported The of death of reservist from the Sudeten area that he reported for army service Sept. 2 and that his father was notified Sept. 5 that he had died in hospital at Maehrisch-Ostrau. The father was informed, on investigation, that his son had been sentenced to 20 years’ imprisonment for espionage, it was alleged, and had died of injuries he suffered when he jumped from a train, trying to escape. The story of the “beatings” was that Sudeten leaders went to Maehrische-Ostrau to investigate the arrest of 82 Germans charged with illegal possession of arms. It was asserted that the leaders were beaten. It was

Runciman appealed to Herr Frank, | leader of the Sudeten Party in the |

Vice Premier Rudolf Bechyne said in a newspaper interview that the Government could not go “one inch” beyond its new proposals to the Sudeten Germans.

Laborites Demand

Call to Parliament LONDON, Set. 8 (U. P).—A se-

tret conference of the highest officers and officials of the defense services has been convened in London because of the European crisis, it was understood today. One version was that the conferees were discussing the advisability of making public the precautionary measures the armed forces have taken quietly during the last two weeks. This news was disclosed as Maj Clement Attlee, leader of the Labor

Party, demanded in behalf of the piled up in the five-day offensive, |

Labor Party and the British Trades Unions that the Government summon Parliament at once to take the

illegal !

lead in a line-up of Europe's democracies against the Nazi Reich. If not called, Parliament will meet | Nov. 1. Maj. Attlee made his demand in | pursuit of a joint manifesto issued by the national executive of the Labor Party and the general council of the British Trade Union Council, representing nearly half the voting strength of the country. The manifesto, issued at Blackpool after a meeting last night, denounced Germany and demanded that Parliament meet to take "a

positive and unmistakable lead for |

collective defense against aggression and to safeguarc peace.”

Prime Minister Neville Chamber-

Jain, canceling vacation plans, hastened back to London today to take charge. Viscount Halifax, Foreign Secretary, tentatively canceled his plan to attend the meeting of the League

cf Nations Council and Assembly at |

Geneva, so that ne could remain here ready for any emergency. France Announces Shakeup in Army

PARIS, Sept. 8 (U. P.) —The Government, its plans for strengthening

its defenses against any attack ai- | most completed, announced a dras- |

tic shakeup in high Army posts today.

the fortified Metz region on the Lux- |

embourg-German frontier, was named to succeed Gen. Requin, and in turn was replaced at Metz by Brig. Gen. Desire Sivot, who has been in command of the military engineering school. Gen. Joanny Garchery, until recently in charge of the 16th Army Region, was named inspector-gen-eral of infantry. Gen. Alfred Montagne was named

| commander of the Bordeaux region. |

Brig. Gen. Jean Molinie, a member of the Superior War Council, was named temporary commander of the 25th Army Region.

Whiskers

Modern Pioneers Prefer To Have Government Subsidy Continue.

By JOE COLLIER HEN you train a whisker, and make it a pet, you don’t want to have it harvested. That, at any rate, seems to be the opinion of the Northwest Territory Celebration collegians, who wouldn't have grown featurelength whiskers except under Government paternalism. Uncle Sam (this is an unpublicized feature of the Federal Government's activities) has sponsored some full-length beards and several short-subject mustaches among the modern pioneers who have wandered from the East Coast to the Prairie States and back again to the Middle West. They are college boys, but they have told people they will skip school next year if they can land a contract at the World's Fair in New York. They are used to hardships of morning, afternoon and night beard-combing and they want to live in the manner to which they have become accustomed. Frankly, since they lost the fake pioneer who dressed like them, tried to become a phony copy of Johnny Appleseed and sold bogus wooden nickels as souvenirs, they have had pretty easy siedding. Johnny Appleseed, incidentally, in the original, followed no one, but blazed a barefoot trail over this part of the country planting pioneer apple orchards because he was a true humanitarian.

When the Indiana tall corn prize winner carried his more than 17-foot stalk through the State Fair midway, he had a red flag dangling from the end of it as a danger signal to cars and pedestrians, in the same way that a truck carrying a load of pipe has a flag on the end of the longest one. 2 n 2

HIEF HENRY HORSE LOOKING is technologically unemployed. He used to be Medicine Man for the Sioux Indians who are at the Fair as an auxiliary attraction for the Northwest Territory pageant. Since then, he said, what with the Government taking over and people getting used to doctors, his talents have been less and less in demand. “When squaws have babies (he didn’t say papooses) they call a doctor. We liked the Indian way better.”

| Yesterday, County Councilmen made cuts in items for nearly every department, including reductions in salaries and in office supplies allotments, equipment and traveling expenses.

The gravel road fund levy, legal- | ity of which has been questioned, | was cut from 2.4 to 2 cents. They eliminated the Auditor's proposed $68,000 for new tax duplicate machinery, suggesting the issuance of bonds instead. The $58,000 item for operation of the Tibbs Ave. Infirmary was eliminated on asurances that the inmates will be transferred to Julietta by Jan. 1. The Julietta proposal was reduced from $66,355 to $57,000, which is still $2500 higher than this year’s appropriation. In the Welfare Department estimates, the Council reduced the $1,855.000 old-age assistance proposal, most of which is financed by State and Federal aid, to $1,663,500.

Child Welfare Reduced

The child welfare proposal was re=duced from $1,020,000 to $939,200. This meant a reduction of $60,585

Ickes Backs F.D. R. Stand On Liberals

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8 (U.P) .— Secretary of Interior Ickes today indorsed President Roosevelt's campaign to liberalize the Democratic Party. “I've always hoped I'd live to see the day when we had a party cleavage on principle,” he said. “A Democratic standpatter looks

very much the same to me as a Re-

publican standpatter,” he said. His remark paralleled that of Mr. Roosevelt at a recent press conference when he said he would have no objection to election of a Republican .of liberal principles. Mr. Ickes, however, was not op-

timistic at prospects of a clear-cut |

party division on liberal-conserva-tive principles. “If you couldn't do it under Theodore Roosevelt at the top of his power. how could you do it now?” he asked.
