ITALY PUTS CURB ON MARRIAGES

New Jewish Bans Enforced; Czechs Bow Again to Nazis, Permit New ‘Pincer’

Berlin-Praha Customs Union Hinted; Benes Goes to His Home.

BERLIN, Oct, 7 (U. P).—The international commission on partitioning Czechoslovakia has reached

an agreement for the reciprocal release of prisoners held by the Germans and Czechs within 24 hours, it was disclosed authoritatively today. It also arranged for Germany to begin occupation of zone five in the Sudetenland at noon tomorrow. The occupation will be continued Sunday and completed Monday. Reliable sources said that when the German occupation of the Sudetenland areas had been completed, Fuehrer Hitler intended to hold a plebiscite similar to that in which Austrians were asked to approve the absorption of their country last March. It would be intended as a demonstration that the people had wanted to join the Nazi Reich.

BERLIN, Oct. 7 (U. P).— Fuehrer Hitler was scratched slightly today when he was struck in the face by a bouquet of roses thrown while he was driving to Jaegerndorf, in Sudetenland. Sudetenlanders were asked te refrain henceforth from throwing flowers at Herr Hitfer,

Official Sudeten estimates placed the number of Sudeten Germans in the five zones of occupation at 3,200.000 with about 200,000 Czechs remaining in the areas.

Tt was asserted that about 300,000]

Jermans would remain in Czech territory, mainly in such towns as Praha, Brunn, Pilsen, MaehrischOstrau, Iglau and Pressburg.

Plebiscites May Be Dropped

Well-informed Nazi quarters ex pressed belief that with the occupation of the five zones surrendared to Germany the geographical phase of the Sudeten problem would been settled. They said that Germany was willing to abandon the idea of any piebiscites to determine the wishes of the populations outside the zones. Thus, it was said, districts in which there was a strong German representation, but in which Czechs were in the majority and which were closely related to the Czech industrial setup, might remain Czech so far as Germany was concerned.

Customs Union Hinted

The opinion was expressed that] in future the Czechoslovak economic

svstem would be so linked with Germanyv’s that Germany would not

Part of the shortage is expected to be filled from the United States.

Czechs Bow to New

Cessions in Zone 5

PRAHA, Oct. 7 (U.P). —Czechoslovakia will accept perforce a decision of the international Sudetenland commission granting new concessions to Germany at slovakia's expense, it was stood todav. A statement published in the newspaper Tagblatt was believed to represent the Government view. It said that the decision, covering the new occupation Zone 5 as inevitable, but that it does so against its will. The statement added bitterly: Again:t the decision of the Ber-

ROME, Oct. 7 (U. P.).—Italy’s| forty-three million people were pre-| sented today with a sweeping racial program affecting not only Jews but Italian gentiles. It was announced that the Fascist Grand Council, in addition to approving a severe program for dealing with Jews: 1. Banned marriages between pure Italians and “non-Aryans,” defined as “peoples of Semitic, Hamitic, Negro and other nonAryan races.”

2. Forbade to

stituted a Jew and a conditional] offer of Ethiopian immigration for Jews. The condition was that “international Jewry” refrained from showing an “unfriendly” attitude toward fascism.

Jews Are Defined

The council as a basis for its race program first defined what constituted a Jew: 1. A person both of whose parents were Jews, 2. A person born of a Jewish father and a mother who was of foreign nationality. 3. A person who was born of a mixed marriage and who professes

BRITISH MISSION 70 60 T0 PARIS

Chamberlain to Take Rest; Bonnet and Senate Group Meet.

I.ONDON, Oct. T (U. P.)—An Official Royal Air Force mission is to leave for Paris Sunday to visit the French Air Force, it was learned today. It was believed that the mission would concentrate on mutual Brit-ish-French defense problems on the principle, enunciated by former Prime Minister Baldwin, that Great Britain's frontier is now the Rhine. Twelve hundred members of the British Legion of World War veterans were in barracks at the Olympia Exhibition Building today, awaiting orders to leave for Czechoslovakia to act as a “cushion” force between German and Czech troops in Sudetenland. Prime Minister Chamberlain, after winning a vote of confidence of 366 to 144 in the House of Commons on his foreign policy, left with his wife for Scotland last night. He had been so affected by the

According to police Mr. Purvis said the youths bought a gallon of gas, then followed him into the station, where one displayed a gun and the other said, ‘‘Be quiet. I've got a gun in my pocket.” George Cochran, 64, of 226 Orange St., motorman on a Stockyards streetcar, reported a man boarded his car at Nordyke Ave and Kentucky Ave. about 10 p. m., held his hand in his pocket, and ordered him to hand over his money.

He also said the shooting was accidental and both boys declared they were still pals. The Losh boy is the son of Motorcycle Policeman Roy Losh who died last June. After playing quietly at cards at the Ellis home, 442 N. Gray St., the boys said they decided to look at the late patrolman’s guns. Mrs. Ellis had gone to a movie, after first getting ‘a promise the boys “would be good,” and Mrs. Losh was out of the city. The Losh home is at 422 N.
