French troops moved within pls-

gerQus Rhineland zone last night
as the gray-clad soldiers of Adolf
Hitler continued to pour into the
area demilitarized by the treaties
of Versailles and Locarno.
Two additional batteries of the
18th German artillery regiment,
equipped with the most modern
weapons, goose-stepped into this
historic city Sunday with the
greatest show of armed might the
Rhineland has seen since the
World war. -
Thousands lined the streets
cheering and weeping.
Other Nazi troops were station
ed at the old Am Rebstock flying
field where anti-aircraft guns
were erected almost before Der
Fuehrer at Berlin had finished
denouncing the last restrictive
clauses of the Versailles and Lo-
carno pacts. - -.
The city was tense: More than
an hour before the artillerymen
arrived, thousands swarmed thru
the cobble-stoned streets singing
Deutschland Uber Allies and prals-
ing Hitler for freeing Germany
from the shackles of Versailles.
An official delegation met the
troops as they entered the city.
A Nazi leader and the burgo-
meister said that Frankfort is
proud and happy" of the chance
again to be garrison town for
German troops.
