who were alleged to have participated in the October demonstrations, but all ‘Jews of Czechoslovak nationality. After Herr Buerckel’s speech last night, tens of thousands of anticlerical Nazis paraded past the palace of His Eminence Theodor Cardinal Innitzer, archbishop of Vienna, demanding that he be hanged, sent to the Nazi concentra~ tion camp at Dachau, Germany, or removed from his position. The Cardinal had listened by radio to Herr Buerckel’s long, bitter speech. It was understood that afterward he went to a small chapel in his palace and remained in prayer while angry shouts of the Nazis in the square outside echoed through the building.
Signs Carried
Last night's demonstration was well organized. Matchers carried signs which read: “Away with Political Clergy!” “Innitzer is Worse Than Useless!” “We Want Peace, Not Priests Dabbling in Politics!” “Jews and Priests Are Enemies of the German People!” There was uproarious applause when one group swept by carrying a model gallows, on which was a sign: “We Wish to See Innitzer Hanging Here.” The marchers chanted: “To Dachau!” “He Who Speaks to the Pope Dies From It!” “Without Jews, Without Rome, We Will Build Germany’s Dome!” “Down With Innitzer and the Man Behind Him!” “All Employees of Our Firm Have Left the Church!”
Hitler Takes Hand
In New Czech Crisis MUNICH, Oct. 14 (U. P).— Fuehrer Adolf Hitler took a personal hand today in attempts to settle the minorities dispute between Hungary and Czechoslovakia and avert a threatened crisis.
Herr Hitler conferred here with Frantisek Chvalkovsky, Czech Foreign Minister, and Dr. Kalman de Daranyi, Hungarian Premier, who flew here from Budapest. Herr Hitler told Chvalovsky a solution of Hungary's demands must be found “very soon.” Informed Nazis said he impressed on Chvalkovsky the necessity of satisfying Hungary's demands. Chvalkovsky assured Herr Hitler that “Czechoslovakia will adopt a loyal attitude toward Germany.”
ROME, Oct. 14 (U. P.).—Important developments in connection with the Hungarian minority demands on Czechoslovakia were rumored today when Count Osake, chef de cabinet in Hungary, arrived to confer with the foreign office and possibly with Premier Mussolini.
Hungary Asks Powers
For “Early Solution’
BUDAPEST, Oct. 14 (U. P.).—The Government has informed the big
European powers that Hungary intends to take whatever measures are necessary for an “early solution”
~ of its minority quarrel with Czecho-
mn
slovakia, it was reliably reported today. The Council of Ministers, meanwhile, taken “for the security of the state.” Hungarian troops were already massed along the Czech frontier area. The Government was understood to have advised Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Poland that, due to the refusal of Praha to meet Hungary’s demands for territorial concessions, Hungary has suspended negotiations and reserves the right to take whatever measures it considers necessary. : The four powers mn the Munich settlement were asked to make a “very early” decision on the dispute. The Hungarian delegation was said to have demanded the cession of almost half of the Czechoslovak province of Slovakia and the Czechs had stubbornly refused to surrender
more than a few districts along the
ordered military measures|,
border where the Hungarian population was predominant.
Czechs Turn Policy
Along Nazi Lines
PRAHA, Oct. 14 (U. P.).—Jewish and Communistic organizations disbanded today, presumably under pressure of the Czechoslovak Government which was courting the favor of Nazi Germany. It was understood that Free Masons also were disbanding.
‘The Jewish Aid Committee, which
has assisted Jewish refugees and indigent -Jewish natives, distributed the last of its funds and ceased functioning. Military authorities were said to have suggested to the committee that succoring of Jews here was antagonizing the Nazis, The Czech Communist Party announcéd its dissolution, reportedly after the Government had hinted that it would welcome the act. The Ministry of Interior was trying to cope with outbreaks of disorders in both Slovakia and Ruthenia provinces, allegedly instigated by Hungarians trying to create an incident as an excuse for invasion by Hungarian troops. Hungarian soldiers were reported by Ruthenian police today to. have killed a Czechoslovak frontier suard near Perbenik, during an attack on a Czech railroad station.
Britain to Insist on
Air Force Parity
LONDON, Oct. 14 (U. P.).—Great Britain insists on parity with the strongest air force which might be created by any power in Europe, informed sources declared today.
Loyalists Plead ‘For Food for Children
PARIS, Oct. 14 (U. P.).—Dolores Iburrari, known as “La Passionaria”
day addressed a plea to the Americas to aid Spanish children through a third winter of war. “We women of Spain ask nothing for ourselves or for our men in the trenches,” said the woman whose name means “The Passion Flower.” “But we plead with all people of good heart throughout the world to help our children, who are facing virtual famine conditions, especially in Catalonia.”
PERPIGNAN, French-Spanish Border, Oct. 14 (U. P.).—Ten Rebel bombers dropped 100 bombs today on Figuerad and surrounding villages. So far, there were ten known dead and 50 injured.
U.S. to Safeguard Rights in Palestine
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14 (U. P). —The State Department, replying to hundreds of letters and telegrams from individuals and Jewish organizations in this country, today issued a formal statement promising to “take all necessary measures for the protection of American rights and interests in Palestine.”
DR. MORGAN WARNS AGAINST DIPHTHERIA
Children’s sore throats should be given immediate attention by a physician because of the danger -of diphtheria, Dr. Herman G. Morgan, City. Health Board secretary, warned parents today. Dr. Morgan said that there have heen 13 cases of diphtheria this month, resulting in two deaths. “The unseaonably hot, dry weather,” he said, “is especially conducive to diphtheria. However, diphtheria, being a truly preventable disease, parents should see that their children receive immediate treatment by a physician when they develop sore throats or croupy coughs.” He said there is no cause for alarm in the number of cases reported so far this month.

The survey gives some indication of the way American sympathies have been oriented in the Czechoslovakia crisis of the last month, and it gives further proof of the fact that in issues involving her World War allies it is extremely difficult for the United States to be neutral in sentiment. ' Here also are final returns in the survey of the U. S. reaction to the
Munich four-power conference. The survey was begun a few hours after the conference ended, and preliminary returns were reported in The Times two days ago.

Within a few hours of the close of the four-power conference at Munich, the Institute began a

4 of 5 U. S. Voters Say ‘No’to German Demand For Return of Colonies
By DR. GEORGE GALLUP Director, American Institute of Public Opinion
- NEW YORK, Oct. 14—With another chapter of Adolf Hitler's “Mein reality with the annexation of the Sudetenland, observers in every part of the world are speculating as to what the German Chancellor's next move will be. Will it be a move for the restoration to Germany of the lost German colonies, and if so how would the
Although the Unjted States has no direct interest in the former German colonies, having taken none of them after the war, a nationwide survey conducted by the American Institute of Public Opinion indicates

German claims for her old territories. The Institute asked a cross-section of American
“Do you think the colonies taken from Germany after the World
should be given back? men and women in the Institute's
survey of immediate American reactions, The compléte returns, which are available for the first time today and which supplemen{ prelfminary findings published previously, show how John Q. Citizen, U. S. A, was reacting at the bitterest point in the crisis. The survey shows: 1. That a majority of Americans (59%) think England and France did the best thing in giving in rather than in going to war. 2. That only 23 per cent think Hitler's Munich demands were justified, and
3. That a majority of 60 per cent think the settlement will only postpone a new and deadlier possibility of war. Many Americans complained that the British. and French had failed to get “the best possible terms” for Czechoslovakia, and others hoped that the European democracies would speed their rearmament programs to cope with expected new German demands.
If Chancellor Hitler does decide to press his claims for the pre-war “Ferman colonies, his first obstacle would be the British. Great Britain and her dominions divided the lion’s share of Germany’s African and South Pacific territories at the peace conference in’ 1919. The remainder went to France, to Belgium and to Japan. A year ago, parallel public opinion studies in this country and in Great Britain showed that the rank and file of voters in both nations opposed return of the German colonies, and by identical majorities. The American Institute of Public Opinion found that 76 per cent of those interviewed throughout the United States were against returning the colonies, while the British Institute of Public Opinion, an overseas affiliated, found Britons 76 per cent against the idea. Economic experts agree that the colonies taken from Germany have not proved of tremendous value to their new owners as far as trade and raw materials are concerned. Their chief value to Hitler or anyone else, it is held, would be as a source of prestige and perhaps as strategic bases. . Although Chancellor Hitler's recent speeches have been silent on the whole question, observers remember that a drive for colonies would be in keeping with “Mein Kampf” and with speeches and ideclarations made within the year.

Her classmates said she had been bashful and retiring when she first ‘came to Ft. Wayne, but that she |soon became popular and had many dates with boys. : Capt. Taylor said he had trapped Miller by use of the latest methods of crime detection—methods he had learned only recently ‘while attending the Federal Bureau of Identification school for police officers at Washington, D. C. - . “We let him think we suspected Zimmerman on the strength of his statements,” Capt. Taylor said. “Then we let him go home but kept a close watch on his movements. Last night he went to bed and we waited until he was asleep. We broke into his room suddenly and got him up, the psychological time, I believed, for questioning. We hurried him to the station and had his admission in 10 minutes.” He said Miller had told him he had worked for a time as a watchman in a Philadelphia shipping yard where, he told police, he shot and killed a prowler. Capt. Taylor said Miller was arrested in San Diego in 1331 and charged with violation of the Mann Act. He was sentenced to Federal Penitentiary and served seven months, later being placed on parole for two years. Zimmerman, who served a 60-day jail sentence in Adrian, Mich, recently on a charge of larceny, was held under $5000 bond on a technical charge of loitering, pending further investigation. : Miller told police he had a wife, “somewhere in South America— Peru I think,” and said he had traveled extensively.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Oct. 14 (U.

Supreme Court helped precipitate the business recession which started last year. “With the help of the farmers’ program, farm cash income this year will be only 12 per cent below the peak of last year and farm buying power will be only 9 per cent under that of last year.” He said that in view of the present “supply situation” of corn the 1938 corn loan rate would be “at least 57 cents,” which was the rate in 1937.
