TINE latest development in the
famous boundary dispute be-
tween the District and Vir-
Il ginia came to light today after
workmen of the National Capital Parks
had painted lines showing just where
the boundary runs, according to Uncle
Sans definition. Park officials said
the lines have been painted on the
Mount Vernon Memorial Highway, on
U. S. route No. and on Military road,
which cuts across the Washington
Hoover Airport, so United States park
police may know just where to bring

DRIVER Of TRUCK
HELD IN DEATH
-Four Men Tell Police They
Were in Vehicle When 1t
Struck Victim.

Lacey E. Morelock. 49, of 256 Four
held pending coroner's inquest today
after four colored men were reported
to have told police they were passen-
gers in his truck when it struck and
fatally injured Matthew j. Cusack,
60. of 1881 Sixteenth street at John
Marshall place and Pennsylvania
avenue last night.
Morelock WAS detained for question:
irg by police when he took Cusack to
Emergency Hospital. explaining he
had found him lying in the street.
Cusack died of a fractured skull sew
eral minutes after arrival at the hos
pital
At the scene of the accident police
discovered a broken automobile ra-
diator cap lying in the street. Later,
they said, they found Morelock's truck
had no radiator cap. He was arrested
and held at No. l precinct station for
questioning.
Detective Sergts. William j. Liver
man and Jerry Flaherty said they OBJ
tanned the statements from Morlock' S
alleged companions after several hours
questioning.
Their statements show, "Liverman
declared, hat Morelock. who worked
for the same company as they do, was
taking them home when his truck
hit Cusack. knocking him uncon-
scious." Morelock then drove up the
block. rehearSed an alibi to the effect
that he found the man in the street,
then returned and drove him to the
hospital"

1t is now possible for motorist
travelling southwark from the Dis
trict to pass into Virginia along the
Mount Vernon Memorial Highway,
get back into the District again and
at the Capitol Overlook be back in
Virginia again.
The first boundary line is located
just north of the Railroad Bridge. 1t
is encountered again at the bird
sanctuary at Reaches Run. and then
just north of the Capitol Overlook is
another of the heavy white lines
separating the District and Virginia.
The troublesome boundary question
between the District and Virginia
has long engaged the attention of
public officials and Congress set up
Boundary Commission in an effort
to settle the dispute. but, although 4
report was rendered. no final de-
cision has been reached. The United
States claims it has title to the high
water mark of 1871. when the Dis
trict of Columbia was laid out under
the direction of Gen. George Wash
ineton.
The Mount Vernon Memorial High
way was constructed by the Bureau
OF Public Roads of the Department
of Agriculture. so there is no question
of land titles involved there.

BERLIN, October 20.-Relations be-
tween Nazi Germany and Czechoslo-
vakio, never very cordial due to con-
slant friction over treatment Of Ger
man minorities in the Czech Republic,
became more strained As result Of a
new border incident.
Czechoslovakisn police were said
to have manhandled some members of
the Sudeten Deutsche party October
II during a rally at Teplice Sanov,
close to the German frontier.
OF Czechoslovakia's $4,000 900 popu-
Iation. more than 100000 are Ger
mans, many with Nazi leanings.
Czech authorities had forbidden the
rally, but the party members assem-
bled nevertheless Czech police broke
up the gathering and in the confusion
arrested two of the German dele
gates to the Prague parliament.
They were taken forcibly to the
police station and afterwards COM
planned they were brutally treated.
Konrad Henlein, leader Of the Sude-
ten. promptly wrote a flaming letter
to Czechoslovakia's President Eduard
Benes insisting on autonomy for the
German districts and limiting at dis
astrous consequence" If Germans were
not given their rights"
In Prague, an official communique
stated that it was the German depu-
ties who started the trouble at Telpice
Sanov by resisting efforts Of the police
to stop the rally.
There was unofficial comment that
the affair was overrated and that the
Sudeten leaders were seizing the OPP
pOrtunity simply to air pro-German
propaganda with a view to enlisting
active Nazi support.
