SUSPECT WHITE 'SLAvERS' HELD
Three Accused to Face U. s. Commissioner at
 Hearing Today

The United States government to- day stepped in to investigate an ir- ternational vice ring uncovered by the arrest of i7-year old Canadian girl and the subsequent arrests of three local men, two of them Chi- nese. A federal d-rnan said today that the three men would be ar- raigned before Q. 6. Commissioner Harry Krasow some time today. 1fTi- migration oflcials are also working on the case.
 The men held are Harry Peiletier, 36, of l8 Savings street; Henry Yee, 36, and Henry Wung Fee, g, both of 3TO West Main street. They were arrested when police were told by Sophie Overchuk, 17, of Toronto, that she had been brought to this city six weeks ago from Montreal by Pelietier in Q car owned by the Chi- nese. Two other girls were brought to this city with her, she said. The two have not yet been located.
 The Overchuk girl said that she and the other two girls lived in sey- erai local hotels. Several times, she said, Pelletier and the Chinese took them on auto trips, once to New York.
 Local police notified federal men of the case, and the government stepped in. The three men face charges of violating the Mann act, and may also be arraigned for ale legged violation of the immigration laws.
 The girl last night gave police e lengthy statement, duplicating Pei- letter and the Chinese. She was questioned today by federal men.

 Naxifying Czech Germans
 With the example of the Maxi party in Germany before them and, It is believed, with the aid Of Nazl money, some years ago Konrad Ifenlein formed c sudeten party which in the last elections poiled 70 per cent of this German vote. The balance went to German Soc ciallst. Catholic and Farmers par. ties. Taking oil the other parties together, Heiniein's was in c decids cd minority. But as they were split into many parties, Henlein's could boat 1t had the largest vote In the republic.
 He began to make many demands, among others that the territory in- habited by over 100000 sudeten Germans should be given autonomy. This was refused by the government. The dissatisfaction of the eudetefS was increased by the fact that busl- ness depression hit them the hards est, as it was felt in tho textiles, glass and metal industries in which they are the more largely employed.

Spain's Fate Feared By Czechoslovakia
 As Nazis Make Civil War Sparks Fly
By MILTON BRoNNER YEA Service stan Correspondent

London, Aug. t4--Will the repub- lie of zechoslovakia--an island of democracy in the heart of Europe and one of the best results of the world war and it's following peace reaties-be made into second Spain by the machinations of Nazi Germany
 That is c question which Is agl. tating more than one Foreign Of- flee in this infiammatory Europe. and the answer to which may bear within it the seeds of peace or war in the next few years.
 European diplomats are not un- aware of the lessons the Spanish events may teach them. It is by now pretty well established that General Franco and the other army officers, traitors to their own gov. ernment, before they made up their minds of start c civil war, got asstir. ances of help from Germany and Italy. Under the excuse that the Franco rebels were fighting Bolshe. vism and that they could not afford to see c Red regime established in Spain. military help in fullest meas. ure has been forthcoming.
 Starting War From Within
 On the surface there are indica. tions that Germany may seek the same method to destroy Csecho- slovakia. At one time it was feared the nazifled state might make open war on the Czechs. What Is now feared is the more indirect war and the harder for other states to han- de.
 Czechoslovakia was erected in. to an independent state when the world war ended. The old geograph- ical divisions of Bohemia, Moravia and slovakia--which had once be- longed to the Austro- Hungarian empire--composed the new state. But long before Austria had con. quered these territories, Bohemia had been an independent and pow erful slav kingdom. Tn the centuries during which this territory was under Austrian domination. Aus. trian Germans were colonised in the western parts. They are the people today largely known as tho
