Calm Requested

The French Government reserved its attitude on the Berchtesgaden “war or peace” talks but asked for public calm until the details of the conversations had been revealed. The press showed a sharp drop in the optimism originally inspired by Prime Minister Chamberlain's visit to Fuehrer Hitler. Germany's confidence since Herr Hitler's Nuremberg speech led a number of newspaper editorial writers to express fear that Mr. Chamberlain met an unflinching Hitler whose decision already had been made. The change in the tone of the press was attributed to the Anschluss proclamation of Konrad Henlein, Sudeten German leader, and to the quick end of the conversations between Mr. Chamberlain and Herr Hitler. It was rumored that Premier Daladier might fly to London to discuss the results of the talks with Chamberlain.

known to have been killed and 70 wounded today when three squadrons of planes bombarded the suburban port of Barceloneta at 10:30 a. m. The British steamers Stanlake and Boby were hit, but the crews escaped. Most of the bombs fell in the market district. The victims chiefly were women standing in line to do their marketing. The death list may total from 30 to 35. The raid was the first to cause casualties in several weeks. During that time antiaircraft batteries and Loyalist chaser planes have kept raiders outside the city.
