~ Churchill Asks American Co-operation In Halting Advance of Dictatorships;
40 Japanese
London Fears Hitler Will Demand Sweeping Concessions.
LONDON, Oct. 17 (U. P.).—Reports multiplied today that Fuehrer Hitler, following up his triumph in the Czechoslovak crisis, would make far reaching proposals soon to the British Government. Coincidently there was a mounting tide of feeling against further concessions to dictators which threatened the Government not only at home but in parts of the British Empire. A speech broadcast to the United States last night by Winston Churchill—and strangely not broadcast in Great Britain over the Gov-ernment-controlled radio system— sounded a clear call for a strong stand against the totalitarian nations, for intensified rearmament and for world co-operation among democracies, and particularly between Great Britain and the United States. The importance of the present reports was that they concerned concessions which would be asked of Great Britain. It was no longer a question of “concessions” to Premier Mussolini at Ethiopia’s expense or to Chancellor Hitler at Czechoslovakia’s expense.
Protest Certain
According to present reports, Germany intends soon to propose Anglo-German discussion on arms limitation generally, on an air pact, on colonies and possibly on revision of the Anglo-German naval treaty. In" each case there would be involved definite and costly concessions by Great Britain to Germany. It was reported that Herr Hitler would ask that Britain accept inferiority to Germany as regards airplanes, that he would ask for British Empire colonies or mandated territory, that he might seek a more nearly equal proportion of warships with Britain. No one doubted that there would be a tremendous roar of protest in Great Britain if there was any suggestion that this country accept inferiority to Germany in the air. Acceptance of equality at sea was unthinkable.
. Africans Perturbed
. As regards colonies even if the rank and file of the Conservative Party agreed to sacrifice African territory—and there was no reason at all to believe that it would—it was increasingly certain that there would be firm and perhaps dangerous opposition in Africa. A Daily Mail dispatch from Dar-es-Salaam, Tanganyika, said ominously today: “It is reported in reliable quarters that negotiations between the British Government and Germany for _ the return of Tanganyika to the Reich are imminent. : “Competent observers are convinced that unless tne British Governmeht ends the present uncertainty in East Africa there may be civil war there.”
Two Cabinet Vacancies
Some resentment has been roused In London by articles in German newspapers, obviously inspired, asking for colonial concessions and criticizing the British Government for intensifying its armament program. . The Cabinet is to meet Wednesday, and it will have all these problems to consider, in addition to pain and the filling of two vacant Cabinet posts. The vacancies were caused by the resignation of Alfred Duff Cooper as First Lord of the Admiralty, because the Munich concessions to Herr Hitler “stuck in his throat” and the death yesterday of Lord Stanley, Dominions Minister. Mr. Churchill’s speech to the United States was published fully in this morning’s newspapers.
Hitler Supporting Praha; Hungary’s Reserves Reach Barracks.
PRAHA, Oct. 17 (U. P.).—The Army received advices today from Kraluv Chlumec that Hungarian soldiers had opened fire on a patrol of Czechoslovak soldiers at the village of Biel, Slovakia, and had thrown hand grenades at them. After withdrawing, the Hungarians returned and attacked the patrol a second time. The Czechoslovaks did not return the fire. The Slovak Government decided to decree martial law in 17 districts close to the Hungarian frontier. Czechoslovak and Hungarian delegations will resume negotiations this week and the Czechs will make essentially the same offer that the Hungarians rejected angrily at the Komarom conference last week. It will include the cession to Hungary of Czechoslovak areas where Hungarians are predominant, but the cessions will be based on a 1930 ethnographical map, instead of a 1910 map the Hungarians had insisted on using, and Czechoslovakia will retain the cities of Bratislava, Nitra, Kosice and Uzhorod, which have Hungarian minorities and which Hungary had demanded. The Czechs believed that in the light of week-end developments, the Hungarians would either accept or seriously consider the offer, which they denounced at Komarom as ridiculous.
German Aid Promised Frantisek Chvalkovsky, Czechoslovak Foreign Minister, returned from Munich and Berlin with assurances that Germany would aid Czechoslovakia industrially and flinancially,
as well as guarantee fair treatment from Hungary. This was in token of Czechoslovakia’s new foreign policy of friendship to the Nazis, with whom a month ago they were ready to go to war. and to whom they had lost the Sudetenland —a policy forced upon the Czechs when France, Great Britain and Russia failed to go to their aid.
Hungary’s Reserves
Report at Barracks
BUDAPEST, Hungary, Oct. 17 (U. P.).—Two classes of army reserves reported to barracks today under mobilization orders issued after the breakdown of territorial negotiations with Czechoslovakia last week. Government spokesmen said the mobilization did not indicate any plan for immediate action, but was intended to strengthen Hungary's
position in its dealings with Czechoslovakia.

Crechs Bevort 2 A tracks: 300 Arabs Are Arrested
Jewish Leaders Criticize Britain; (Nazis Rap Church Lands.
JERUSALEM, Oct. 17 (U. P.) — British military authorities announced today that six Arab rebels were slain and 300 taken prisoner in skirmishes throughout Palestine Sunday. ? The rebels, growing bolder despite increasing British troop reinforcements, were reported to be seizing mail in raids on postoffices and mail vans, and censoring it in the name of “the provisional Arab Government.” Jewish leaders charged that the British were adopting an attitude of surrender toward the rebels, and that Arab violence was being intensified because of rumors that Great Britain was about to reach new understandings with Iraq and Iran which would rob the rebels of support from those countries.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 17 (U. P.) — Secretary of State Huli disclosed today that the British Foreign Office has assured the United States of a political status quo in Palestine until completion of the partition commission’s report.
Vienna Newspaper Attacks Church Lands
VIENNA, Oct. 17 (U. P.).—An article entitled “Rich Church, Poor People” in the Nazi Party newspaper organ aroused speculation today as to the future of Roman Catholic Church property in Austria. - The article was linked with the expulsion by the Nazi secret police of Franciscan monks who had occupied a monastery at Salzburg for 150 yearse « - - The building was owned by the state. The monks refused to give it up and the secret police, it was learned, compelled them to leave Oct. 12. Since the Catholic Church holds huge properties in Austria, the newspaper article, published in the Voelkischer Beobachter, and the Salzburg incident were interpreted in some quarters as preparation for
a large scale sequestration of church
property.
Anti-Fascists and Jews Arrested in Italy
ROME, Oct. 17 (U. P.).—An official communique disclosed today that “several” persons, including prominent Jews, had been arrested
on charges of maintaining “antiFascist cells” in Florence and Trieste or otherwise opposing “the regime.”

Warships Wait Off Swatow
Franco Drive Stalled, Loyalists Say.
HONGKONG, Oct. 17 (U. P).— Mechanized Japanese forces pushed up the railroad which runs from Hongkong to Canton today and pre-
end.
round-about means—the regular communications were out—indicated that the Japanese had straddled the important railroad 15 miles north of Shumchun, or a little less than half way between Hongkong and Canton. A Japanese communique asserted that the railroad had been severed at several points. . Japaneseé military leaders predicted the early fall of Canton and with it Hankow, the former capital toward which the Japanese have been driving for months.
U. 8. Citizens Warned
Forty Japanese “warships and transports were reported off Swatow, on the east coast. A landing was imminent. The United States Consulate in Swatow was reported to, have advised all Americans to prepare to evacuate at any moment. Canton, the principal receiving point for imported arms and equipment for the Chinese armies, had been cut off from the coast.
‘|Japanese bombers had blasted che
Hongkong-Canton railroad before the troops straddled it. The last reports from Canton were that the city was under martial law, but there was no disorder.
Chinese. Rush New Army
The Chinese reported that 200,000 troops of the veteran Kwansksi provincial army were en route. to the front to assist an ineffective “People’s Army” falling back from the Japanese. The poorly trained “People’s Army” defiantly charged into the Japanese, but they were no match for them. Hundreds were mowed down by machine guns. Meanwhile, on the Yangtze River front, the Japanese were reported to have reached a point 50 miles from Hankow. The Japanese asserted that with the fall of Canton, Hankoww also would collapse.

Singer Blames Jealousy for Wounding of Secret Mate By Former Husband.
(Continued from Page One)
they said, and, if Miss Etting hadn't gotten her own pistol , and if his daughter hadn’t fired at him, he would have shot them all. Miss Etting was the heroine of real life drama. She became a radio and movie star because, beautiful and exquisitely feminine, she could sing like a baritone. But she wept in soprano as she recounted the events leading up to the shooting of her husband. “It was a case of insane jealousy,” she said. “Martin threatened to kill me when I divorced him last November. When Meryl and I were married three months ago (in Mexico), we kept it a secret—but Martin found out, anyhow.”
Booked on Suspicion
Alderman, Miss Etting’s accompanist, was at St. Vincent's Hospital. Snyder was booked on suspicion of kidnaping and attempted murder. Miss Etting charged Snyder wiih kidnaping her husband from in front .of the National Broadcasting
studios Saturday night. She said Snyder stuck a gun in Alderman’s ribs, forced him to drive to her home

piano, another into Alderman. “I ran to the bedroom,” Miss Etting continued, “and got my gun. Snyder grabbed me and in the struggle the gun went off.” This bullet hit the floor, narrowly missing Miss Etting’s foot. Miss Snyder, who had been screaming, grabbed up the gun and started firing at her father while he chased Miss Etting into the kitchen.
Rings Wayne Morris’ Bell
Snyder ran out of the back door, knocking over a garbage can as he went, and rang the door bell of Wayne Morris, an actor, who lives next door, to say that Miss Etting had shot at him. Then Snyder
clasped his hands behind his back and started pacing the sidewalk in front of the Etting home. He still was walking back and forth when police arrived. They confiscated his gun, from which they said the serial numbers had been filed, and took him to jail. There he contradicted Miss Etting’s story. He said he drove out with Alderman to her home to discuss selling a house which they owned jointly. “And Alderman started shooting at me,” he said. “So I shot back.” After. police listened to the stories of all concerned, Miss Etting left her bullet-scarred home and took a hospital room next to her husband. Asked for Bodyguard
Last January she appealed to the district attorney for a guard after a long distance phone conversation with Snyder in New York, whom she quoted as saying: “I'm going to fly to Los Angeles, kill you, and then commit suicide.” Snyder, known as a Chicago sportsman, a habitue of New York night spots and Miss Etting’s manager, failed to show up. Miss Etting released her bodyguard a couple of days later. : She was a David City, Neb., farm girl who went to Chicago, got a $35 a week job in the old Marigold Gardens, during their prohibition heydey, and made a sensation singing baritone. In 1927 she started to work in the Ziegfeld Follies and soon became one of the country’s most popular singers of blues songs. ’
Intensely Jealous
Snyder became her manager at the very start of her career and in 1922 they were married. A small, chunky man with flery eyes and a morose face, his intense jealousy of her was a matter for gossip in the theatrical world.
interviews, backstage, in broadcasting studio, on movie lot, and his eyes darted fire if any man showed her marked attention regardless of how innocently.
vorce, Miss Etting charged him with extreme cruelty. Miss Etting retired three years ago when she was at the height of her career, explaining that she did not care to fade slowly as had the stars before her. She has been living quietly in a modest seven-room

to the Sheriff's office. Her screams attracted Edward Stein, R. R. 3, Box 174, who frightened her attacker away, deputies said. She was treated at City Hospital.
Find Hat and Coat Deputies arrested the suspect a few hours later while investigating a hit-and-run accident. They said they found Miss Berry’s hat and coat in a truck parked in front of the man’s home. Mrs. Cleo Tilley, 22, of 510 E. Ninth St., was slugged unconscious by a man at the alley west of College Ave. on Ninth St., according to police. Gladys Holter, 25, of 2877 Sutherland Ave. told police she was seized by a man as she got off a College Ave. streetcar at 28th St. and College Ave. He struck her and tried to drag her over the Canal bank, but two boys, passing on bicycles, frightened him away, police said.
