Czechoslovakia. ‘At the moment of his own choosing, they think, Herr Hitler will EB t Great Britain and France with a new menace of war, the price of peace, this time, being the return of the colonies, or a free hand in eastern and southeastern Europe, or perhaps both. » This prospect was further intensified Saturday when Gen. Franz Ritter von Epp, leader of the German Colonial League, served notice in the course of a speech at Ladeburg, near Berlin, that Germany would demand the colonies in toto and would “not permit the exact time ‘at which . . . the question shall be brought to a solution to be forced upon her.” Great Britain is greatly worried over the colonial issue. So are the British Dominions. These datter, especially South Africa, have voiced the . most categorical opposition to the return of the territory to Germany. On top of that, Britain herself is afraid the colonies would provide the Nazis with air bases which would completely isolate her from India, the Far East and other vital interests beyond the seas.

Two Routes Threatened

It is freely admitted that Italy could close the Mediterranean and the Red Sea to Britain. But, sirategists claim, while the closure of the short route to the Orient would unquestionably delay British shipping, it would not stop it, or even seriously interfere with it. It could still sail around South Africa. But it so happens that Germany's principal former colonies are on the African East and West Coasts. Air bases in Southwest Africa, adjoining the Union of South Africa, would be within easy bombing distance of British shipping bound round the Cape of Good Hope. And Tanganyika, likewise a former German possession, would flank British lanes through the Indian Ocean,

Czech-Hungarian Mediation Tomorrow

VIENNA, Nov. 1 (U. P.).—The Nazi-Fascist combination moved further to the front today in Europe’s search for a solid basis of international relations. Delegations headed by Nazi Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop and Fiscist Foreign Minister Count Galeazzo Ciano were gathering here to arbitrate tomorrow the minority dispute between Hungary and Czechoslovakia.

Arabs of Holy Land Strike Against Britain

JERUSALEM, Nov. 1 (U, P).— Arab shops were closed throughout many Palestine areas today in compliance with a call for a strike in protest against the British military campaign to crush rebellion in the Holy Land.

Goering Reported Short of Administrators

BERLIN, Nov. 1 (U. P.).—Col Gen. Hermann Wilhelm Goering was understood today to be encountering difficulties in finding enough qualified administrators for the “economic general staff” directing Germany's accelerated four-year economic plan. The Four-Year Plan recently id speeded up by Marshal Goering and | the No. 2 Nazi leader began a search of other ministries capable men. One of the Army shifts announced yesterday moved Gen. Maj. von Loeb, an expert in allocation of raw materials, from the Economics Ministry to the Air Force to concen- - trate on heavy industrial developments—chiefly armaments,

mons. The agreement would entail British recognition of the Italian conquest of Ethiopia. Mr. Chamberlain said a motion will be introduced in the House tonight “that this House welcomes the intention of the Government to bring the Anglo-Italian agreement into force.” The motion will be debated tomorTow. Defense to Be Speeded

In addition to recognizing the Italian conquest, Mr. Chamberlain intends to recognize the Spanish Rebels as belligerents, as well as the Loyalists, and is understood to be preparing to open negotiations with Germany on colonies. Defense preparations and the speeding up of rearmament also probably will come up in the debate. In preparation for it, the Cabinet has been strengthened by ihe addition of Sir John Anderson and Viscount Runciman, named to sinecure posts but destined to take charge of the organizational aspect of rearmament. Clement R. Attlee, Labor leader, opened today’s debate. “France and Britain and the cause of law and order have sustained a grave defeat,” he declared. “Germany is now dominant politically and economically in Europe.” Mr. Chamberlain replied to the charges by saying that even if Maj. Attlee actually believed the Munich four-power agreement was a defeat it was a pity that he should say so publicly. He again vigorously defended the agreement.

62 Live on Road in Czech No-Man’s Land

BRATISLAVA, Czechoslovakia, Nov. 1 (U. P.).—For nearly three weeks 62 Czechoslovak Jews, men, women and children, have been camping on a new cement highway in a no-man’s land between Czechoslovakia and German Sudetenland, with only patched-together sheets of canvas stretched over them for shelter.

Three Jews Go Insane Waiting at Border

WARSAW, Nov. 1 (U. P.).—The Jewish Relief Committee asserted today that four persons had died and three had gone insane among 5000 Polish Jews held along the Polish-German frontier. The committee said that the Jews were being held without shelter. They had been taken to the frontier from the interior of Germany, awaiting deportation to Poland due to a dispute regarding Poland's new citizenship laws. The dispute is now being negotiated.

FCC IS STUDYING PANIC PROGRAM

May Consider Action Today; |

European Crisis Believed Partly Responsible.

(Editorial Page 12, Another Story and Photo, Page 13.)

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1 (U. P).—|

The Federal Communications Commission meets today for a routine session, but may consider action on the radio dramatization that frightened thousands of listeners Sunday night FCC Chairman Frank R. MecNinch said the commission “might” discuss it if the script and transcription of the program reached Washington before the meeting begins. Meanwhile, Commissioner George Henry Payne disclosed that many ministers protested radio terror programs even before the New York dramatization. He said that “ministers throughout the country have protested that radio terror programs are frightening children.”

Minds ‘Receptive’ For Such Broadcast

By Science Service WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.—Those who may have been frightened by the broadcast dramatization of an imaginary invasion of Martians into New Jersey, were upset only because their minds had previously been made receptive. Hectic weeks in which all sorts of radio programs were interrupted by news flashes of fantastic horrors on the European “crisis” front, in

Visit Spot Where Martians Didn’t Land

GROVER'S MILL N. J. Nov. 1 (U. P.).—Visiting motorists: were still driving by the old Wilson farm today to see the spot where the monsters from Mars didn’t land their rocket ship to begin the onslaught against the earth Sunday night. The radio players, in their “news bulletins” dramatizing H. G. Wells’ story “War of the Worlds,” called it the “Wilmuth” farm of Grover’s Mill, but it sounded like “Wilson” and since it happened that there is an old Wilson farm here, it became the scene of the catastrophe that didn’t happen. This village of 200 peaceful inhabitants, four miles east of Princeton, survived the nation-wide hysteria better than most other towns because it was quiciter finding out

She woke her husband, who had retired. He went out on the porch, looked around. “Durn fools,” he said, and went back to bed.

that the Martians hadn't really.

about a huge meteor

While he rehearsed the cast of the Mercury Theater of the Air in the H. G. Wells story, Producer Orson Welles little thought that their acting skill would send the nation into a panic. Mr. Welles is shown, with hands upraised, directing the actors who are gathered, scripts in hand, around the microphone in the foreground. So realistic was the Welles production of the utterly imaginative tale of a descent upon earth of monstrous people from Mars, that radio listeners from New York to San Francisco and Canada to the Gulf of Mexico believed the catastrophe was really happening.

‘Two Child Brides in Court; One Mate Held, Other Hunted

chicago Judge Asked to

Kentucky Hills Combed for Husband of 10-Year-Old.

PRESTONSBURG, Ky., Nov. 1 (U. P.) —Kentucky took stern measures today to dissolve the marriage of 10-year-old Rosie Columbus Tackett, as evidence for the backhill folk that the State will not tolerate child brides.

County Judge Edwin P. Hill ordered Rosie and her mother, Mrs. Grace Columbus, to appear in court today for arraignment. Rosie will be taken before a juvenile branch on a charge of delinquency and “growing up in idleness and crime.” Mrs. Columbus faced arraignment on a charge of “conspiracy to commit rape.” Deputy Sheriffs seized them late yesterday as they attempted to flee from the cabin-home of relatives on Barnett's Creek in Johnson County, sparsely-settled mountain mining district, The officers brought them to the county jail here.

“Example Should Be Set”

The husband, Fleming Tackett, 24, a miner, who married Rosie a week ago, had fled. Deputies sought him in the hills in northern Floyd County on a warrant issued by Judge Hill charging “rape of a child under 14.” County Attorney Forrest D. Short filed a petition last night for annulment of the marriage. Judge Hill expressed his approval. “An example should be set in this case,” he said. “It should be an example for the people in the mountains.” Rosie and her mother said they did not know where Tackett had gone. They were noncommittal about their arrest. Mrs. Columbus told officers she had not “pushed” the marriage. “They been courtin’ for a long time,” she said, “They wanted to marry and I couldn't stop them.

Gave Age as 15

“Rosie was so took with him,” she said, “she told me she would jump in the well less I got the license. She run toward it, but I caught her. ” In obtaining the license, Mrs. Columbus told the County Clerk Rosie was 15, a year older than the age a girl must be to marry legally in Kentucky. When brought to jail yesterday, Rosie was still wearing the cotton stockings, plain gingham dress and scuffed shoes she was wearing when married. A deputy described her as by “an uneducated plain hill-billy girl.” “Ain't I married no more?” Rosie asked. “Ain't I married? I ain't married. My old man runs off and leaves me.”

CHICAGO, Nov. 1 (U. P.).—Mrs. Jennie Renello Rota, 12, must wait until Nov. 10 to know .whether a Juvenile Court judge will allow her

24-year-old husband to réturn to her and help- make a home for the baby they are expecting. The court heard preliminary arguments in the case yesterday and then remanded the husband, Frank Rota, to jail in lieu of $5000 bond pending a further hearing Nov. 10.
