Nazis Expect German Army ‘To Seize Four Czech Cities, ~ Occupy Con Slovak Border

Goering Hurries Home From Vacation in Italy.

ing from Italy today, would remain here only about twg days, returning thereafter to San Remo to resume his vacation. The entry into Slovakia presumably would be to maintain order in response to a possible appeal for aid from Dr. Tiso, who conferred yesterday with Hitler. The Deutschlandsender radio station, in fact, announced this afternoon that Dr.

ably military, but later the st said the message had been ° drawn” and there was no OfllCla confirmation that an appeal had been received. In addition, Slovak souronk believed NaZi troops would march into Czech territory to protect Germans from alleged Czech terrorism. Name Four Cities Information in Slovak sources concerning impending German troop movements purported to give specific details. The informant asserted that German troops were expected to occupy Brno, center of the Czechoslovak arms industry, and Iglau, both German “language islands” in Czechoslovak territory, and that the same course probably would be followed as regards Pilsen and MaehrischOstrau. It was reported from Vienna that German troops probably would move into Czechoslovakia along the Vienna-Breslau line, already ceded to Germany by Czechoslovakia for an express highway connecting Austria and Germany through Czechoslovak territory. This would mean driving a corridor between Czech and Slovak areas. Vienna reported that an unusually large number of German military airplanes had been flying over and near Vienna since dawn. This information came after reports from Vienna that Germany had moved large numbers of gendarmes and police to the Czech and Slovak frontiers and that all regular troop garrisons had been at full strength for weeks. A Vienna dispatch said gendarmes and police, crack militarized units of well trained men, began to move up to the Czech and Slovak frontiers last night to reinforce frontier guards. ‘Atrocities’ Reported The Slovak source supplemented this by his report that German troops, under an apparently -arranged plan, would move directly into ‘Czech territory to. “preserve order.” Brno, in Morovia, and Iglau, in Slovakia, have large German minorities, and Nazi newspapers today charged Czech “atrocities” against these Germans. Brno lies directly along the line of march between Vienna and Breslau which the German armies would have taken in September, but for the Munich conference, to cut off Bohemia and Moravia, the Czech areas, from Slovakia. Some sources reper ed today that German troops ould take this route today, to cstablish a corridor between Bohemia on the west and Moravia, Slovakia and CarpathoUkrainia on the east. Thus Czechs would be isolated from others in the state. It was said, in these reports, that Germany would explain its action as necessary to prevent constant border incidents between Czechs and Slovaks. Pilsen is in western Czechoslovakia and Maehrisch-Ostrau is at the northeastern corner, in Czech Silesia.

movements so far were on an exceedingly small scale. But it was added that Germen ([rontier garrisons ringing Bohemia and Moravia from the tip of Silesia to the southern side opposite Vienna, were normally at such strength that no reinforcements were needed for an operation such as was anticipated. There was little expectation of resistance by Czech troops. As regards occupation of the Vienna-Breslau express highway corridor through Czechoslovakia, the German-Czechoslovak agreement provides that the German right of way shall be policed only by Germans. It was generally agiecd in diplomatic quarters that Hitler's program for an immediate,” drastic and “final” solution of the Czechoslovak problem included: 1. An independent Slovakia under German tutelage. 2. The splitting of Czechoslovakia into the independent states of Bohemia, representing the larger Czech area, Slovakia and CarpathoUkrainia. 3. “Amelioration” of the lot of the German minority still resident in the Czech portion of Czechoslovakia, particularly in Brno anc Iglau. 4. Substantial economic and political concessions by Czechoslovakia. 5. Reduction of the Crechoslovak Army to the proportions of a national police force. 6.

SLUGGED AND ROBBED OF $230 NEAR HOME

A $230 holdup and theft of articles valued at $250 were reported today as police sought a gunman who robbed a laundry and was frightened away when altempiing to rob a liquor store.

France ‘Regrets’ Move, But Takes No Action

PARIS, March 14 (U. P.).—The Government passively accepted the further dismemberment of Czechoslovakia today without even a diplomatic gesture toward Berlin. | Recognizing the complete withdrawal of France from Central Europe as contrasted to her postwar “circle of steel” alliances around Germany, official quarters expressed regret that Germany had acted to force the independence of Slovakia and Ruthenia but carefully avoided any mention of French treaties which are still nominally in effect as far as Poland, Rumania and Soviet Russia are concerned.

Pittman Predicts Hitler Will Continue ‘Push’

WASHINGTON, March 14 (U.P). —The chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senator Pittman (D. Nev.), predicted today that Adolf Hitler will continue his “advance to the east” until “his ambition is completely satisfied.” In an interview with the United Press, Senator Pittman said the dismembering of Czechoslovakia under

‘pressure from Herr Hitler, was “rio

surprise to me.” { “I forecast this three weeks ago,” he said. “It was the natural thing for him to do.” Senator Pittman, the Administration’s spokesman on foreign affairs in Congress, said that Herr Hitler's method is to “divide up countries, thus weakening each and asserting domination for the purpose of preserving order.” Senator Pittman said the alliance among France, Russia and Czechoslovakia could have prevented Herr: Hitler's eastern advance, “but unfortunately it has been dissolved.’ He refused to guess the outcome

landlords they are now dealing with | will become more prosperous when |

their trade ceases. “Therefore, the responsibility for the situation in which all of these people will find themselves during the coming three months rests of necessity within the decision of the Congress of the United States.” Mr. Roosevelt said the action of

Congress in cutting his original re-|

quest from 875 million dollars to 750 million dollars had left the relief situation “very serious.” “Within three weeks,” he said, “the reduction of Works Progress Administration employment must begin. in order that the remainder of the appropriation may be apportioned over the months of April, May and June, unless more money is appropriated quickly.” He noted that, partly due to seasonal factors, unemployment has increased since December both in industrial and agricultural lines. He reported that WPA rolls in February and March have been maintained at an average of 2,996,000 persons and that despite this high level the number of persons eligible for relief but unable to get on WPA projects has increased in the past month. While predicting that “improvement in business conditions between now and June” «ill reduce alls somewhat, he doubted that more than 300,000 of the idle would thus be absorbed into private business. “All possible economies in administration and operation are being sought and will be constantly checked, but here again the cold facts which have been given insufficient emphasis require restatement,” he said.

TOKYO, Tuesday, March 14 (U.

While diplomats maintain : there still is hope of a settlement, despite months of fruitless negotiations, the Japanese Cabinet met in emergency session to decide on measures in the event the last moment negotiations fail. Reports that 30 Soviet submarines were patroling the disputed

fishing areas added to the tenseness|

of the situation. Meanwhile, Foreign Office sources here said the Government had refuted representations by the United States, France and Great Britain against manipulations of the North China currency. Japan’s attitude, the source said, was that the currency fluctuations affected Japan as well as ‘other nations.

MINTON, WILLIS IN RAGE AGAIN

VanNuys Declares He Does Not Want Seat Unless ‘Honestly Won.’

By DANIEL ‘M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, March 14. — While both Raymond E. Willis and Serator Minton announced they again will seek the Indiana U. S. Senate seat in 1940, Senator VanNuys declared today he does not warit his Senate seat “if it was not honestly won.” Mr. Willis stated that he is a 194¢ candidate before leaving the city last night, after filing with the Senate his 386-page protest of the 193¢ election in which he was defeated by Senator VanNuys by 5197

“I do not want to connect my can-

Confined to his home with a cold, Senator VanNuys issued the following statement from his office: “1 have not yet finished read‘ing Mr. Willis’ voluminous pel ion, Together with the exhibits it composed of more than 300 so typed pages.

In this former statement, I said that 1 did not want the office of Senator if I were not entitled to it. I repeat that statement,

Expects Study of Petition

: “1 feel sure the Senate committee will give the petition that consideration which it deserves.” ' It has been understood here that when the state Democratic organization in Indiana finally decided to renominate Senator VanNuys, the leaders assured Senator Minton of renomination at the same time. i At the moment, however, considerable friction has developed due ta Senator Minton’s insistence on Pleas Cireenlee as the successor to Will Smith as Internal Revenue Collector at Indianapolis. Mr. Greenlee, who now holds a $10,000 job as a member of the National Bituminous Coal Commission, also has Senator VanNuys’ approval, but the State Democratic organization is opposed te him. A showdown may be had here this week, ac Frank McHale, Democratic national committeeman and McNutt for President manager, is coming for a conference, it was learned.

Compromise Discussed .

Edward Stein, Democratic floor leader in the Indiana House of Representatives, is being talked of as a likely compromise for the post. 11 is not beer and skittles among the Republicans either. For about half of the G. O. P. Congressmen from Indiana have felt that their names were at least in the winter books for possible promotion to the upper chamber next year. It is concluded, therefore, that Mr: Willis’ announcement does not mean that he will be unopposed.

if governmental expenditures are not reduced, the Indiana Taxpayers Association today asked State taxpayers to continue the fight against spending if they “expect to obtain any permanent relief.”

William Neff and Henry KottKamp are cochairman of the meeting.
