trail Europe by reciprocal economic
agreements. The "Drang mach Osten"
the push toward the East-which
is now the cardinal policy of the
Berlin government, does not mean
territorial occupation Of the countries
from the German border to the Black
Sea. 1t means only their economic
domination. And the President of
Czechoslovakia. despite his devotion to
such an economic agreement.
Czechoslovakia. like the other Little
Entente states, must necessarily 60
toward Germany, If she wants to sur
vive economically. Her outlet to the
sea Is Hamburg and Bremen. 1t Is
mainly through these German PORTS
that she can hope to export profitably
the products of her industry and 1t is
through these two ports that she can
import most advantageously the raw
materials her industry needs. Conse-
quently, much as the Czechoslovak
people may dislike Germany. espe-
cially Hitler's intolerant Germany.

out for them but to come to Der-
manent understanding with her, and
if necessary, yield to some Of the
Reich's exaggerated demands in order
to reach an economic agreement.
This will not only relieve the anxiety
of the country Of an eventual attack.
but will also enable the government
to reduce the burden of ornaments.
Benes Ready to Negotiate.
And Benes, the faithful servant of
the country, is now ready to negotiate
with Berlin the economic agreement
which the Reichsfuhrer wants. OF
course, he realizes as well as his COL
laborators that such an agreement
would bring the republic entirely INTO
the sphere of German influence. But
Czechoslovakia is geographically so
situated that she cannot avoid this,
and knows that an economic agree
ment, on Hitler's terms, would at least
preserve the political existence Of the
country.
Benes is a realist. He knows that
there are two outstanding powers to-
day in Europe-the military powers,
Germany and Italy. He fears that
both France and Great Britain can
not do more than look after them
selves-for the time being, at least
and that 1t will take some time before
they can recover from the political
blunders they have been guilty of dur
ing the last few years.
Czechoslovakia, and. for that mat
ter, the other two Little Entente
states, cannot wait until the time
comes when they can look once more
toward the Western democracies for
actual support. The military powers
are pushing them relentlessly. And.
much to the sorrow of Benes and his
aides, Czechoslovakia, moved by an
instinct of self-preservation, will be
compelled to enter the sphere of in
fluence Of the military relationships.

CXON HILL. Md, September a.
August A. Ludke, 40-year -old member
of the Jehovah's Witnesses sect, whose
children have been barred from Prince
Georges County schools for their re-
fusal to salute the American nag at
daily patriotic ceremonies at the local
institution, will seek a court man.
damus against the county Board of
Education to nullify its ruling.
Through Attorney Edmund D.
Campbell of Washington. Ludke an
nounced last night his intention to
return his youngsters to the Oxon Hill
Consolidated School If the Circuit
Court upholds his contention that
State constitutional rights Of religious
freedom have been violated by the
boards order. The mandamus will
be sought within a week, Campbell
said.
The children, Esther, Z; Walter, 8;
Anna Louise. 10, and Fred, IL. refused
to comply with the ceremonial salute
last Spring. Their action was prompt
ed by tenets of the Jehovah's Wit
nesses religion based on the biblical
commandment: Thou shalt have no
other gods before Me-"
Act on Own Volition.
During the balance of the school
year the quartet was permitted to at
tend classes but was barred from the
exercises. On June 8 the Board of
Education issued its edict prohibiting
the children from attending any
Prince Georges school after Septem-
ber /.
In reply to the order, Ludke than
stated: MY boys and girls are acting
entirely on their volition In this mat
ter. My wife and I have no intention
Of influencing them one way or an
other. II they refuse to put the flag
before God, I see no reason for this
discrimination against them. It's
purely case Of religious intolerance"
Campbelrs court plea will be based
on two existing laws: The State con-
stitutional provision of religious lib
erty, and the statute referring to
patriotic exercises in the schools The
latter law, he said today, merely pro-
vides a flag salute program. but does
not decree penalties for individuals
refusal to salute the banner.
The statute reads:
Terms of Statute.
1T shall be the duty of the boards
of education to prepare for the use of
the public schools of the State pro-
gram providing for the salute of the
flag. and such other patriotic exer-
cises from time to time as may be
deemed by them expedient and under
such regulations and instructions as

may best meet the various require
ments Of the different grades Of such
schools"
The Ludke case, believed the first
Of its kind In Maryland, has aroused
wide and divergent sentiment in this
section Of the country. It closely
parallels similar incident recently
occurring In Massachusetts,.
Ludke. an employe Of the WASH
ington Post once, has been a life

CRASHHELDCAUSE
Of SPAN COLLAPSE
Shirley Says Truck Hit Side
of Bridge, Causing Death
of 4 Relief Workers.
Bs tht Associated Press.

9, tht Associated Press.
RICHMOND, September 2.-State
Highway Commissioner Henry Shirley
today said that an impact by truck
against the side of Falling Creek
Bridge, on route 10 in Chesterfield
County, last night apparently caused
its collapse, which resulted in the
deaths of four relief workers and in
jured five others,
He said an examination by State
bridge engineers showed one of two
trucks struck tie support in the sec
end span of the 50-foot bridge, snap
ping the supporting rod and causing
the flooring to collapse.
The two trucks were en- route to
Richmond with relief workers, all but
one of whom lived there. When the
bridge fell the machine ahead got over
the sagging deck onto an approach,
but the second plunged IS feet to the
creek bed.
Inspected Last Week.
Two white men and colored man
were killed in the twisted steel and
splintered wood and a second coloret
man died of his injuries in a Rich
mond hospital some hours later.
One of the injured, j. H. Campbell
said that he knew the leading machine
did not strike the bridge side, but
continued straight across and was
within 2 feet of clearing the span
when 1t fell.
Our truck did not run into the
side of the bridge" he said. I'VE did
not know anything was wrong until
the bridge gave way.
Mr.. Shirley said the structure was
inspected last week and was in good
condition then.
Probe Not Complete.
Our investigation has not been
completed" he continued, but an ex-
animation of the wreckage by engi-
neers indicates that heavy impact
from one or both of the trucks as
they swerved into the side OF the
bridge undoubtedly was the cause OF
the accident"
The dead, all of Richmond, were:
Frank M. Kirby, "a.
Lawrence Davis, l8.
Luther Crumpler, 81, colored.
John Grant, colored.
The injured, none of whom is seri-
ously hurt, are: James H. Campbell,
26, Richmond; w. H. GodSey, 32'
Centralia: P M Minton, 81; Edward
L. Moore, 20, and w. E. Cumber, l9,
all of Richmond.
They were all members Of the Cltl-
zens' Service Exchange, mutual self
help organization of unemployed and
time relief workers here, and had
been on a trip to Chesterfield County
to cut wood Both trucks were owned
by the exchange.
State Officer Lohr said survivors
identified Kirby as the driver OF the
second truck.

KENNEWICK LIONS DEFEATED

LIONS HAVE ONE REMAINING
CHANCE FOR THE
sz TITLE

Kennewick Lions, after taking an
unbearable defeat of A to 80 from
the small fast Marquette team of
Yakima in the first series Of the
Y-V-I-A-A tournament. redeemed
themselves Saturday by defeating
the Granger quintet II to ~.
The Lions, playing under to ter
rible handicap by the absence of
Oliver to tap in the old ball when
couple of points are needed were
down hearted and lost their fight
and speed, thus allowing the Cath
Ole boys to playing with a reigning
hand. -
However, on Saturday night the
Lions found their spunk and tore
into the Granger team with the best
of results.
Although Oliver played only the
first half of the game his presence
popped up the team to their best
playing condition.
The summary of these games are
not available.

Next Friday, March 6, the boys
will return to the upper city to
complete what they have started.
Friday afternoon at 200 the locals
play Gle Elum. If they weather this
they play the winner Of the Pasco-

get by this club they will probably
draw Marquette in the playoff for
second place team to go to Seattle.
Oliver will probably be in fair
