PRAHA, Czechoslovakia, June 49,
President Eduard Benes returned to
Praha today from his country estate
near Usi following reports he would
take hand tomorrow In opening his
toric negotiations for settlement Of the
Germanic minority problem.
Reports In financial circles said
Benes would receive representatives Of
the Sudeten German party, which has
demanded autonomy for $500 900 Ger
manic>citizens Of Csechoslovakia.
1t was definitely expected that the
governments proposed nationality
statute would be delivered to Sudeten
members Of Parliament tomorrow. It
was not clear when the statute would
be made public.
The government may insist that the
discussions remain confidential until
representatives Of all other minority
groups-Slovaks, Poles and Hunga-
rtans-have had an opportunity to
study the statute.
Sudetens Backed Heavily.
With the Overwhelmingly pro-Nazi
attitude Of It's $500, 900 sudeten Ger
mans clearly demonstrated at the
polls, the 2o-yesr-old republic ap-
preached what may be the most mo.
mentous decision since its foundation.

SHANGHAI, June 13-Powerful
Japanese land and river forces to-
day captured Anking, capital of
Anhwei Province, in swift thrust up
the Yangtze River toward Hankow,
China's provisional capital, less than
200 miles farther inland.
Rising flood waters of the Yellow
River. imperiling Japan's offensive
through Honan Province, increased
the possibility the drive by land and
water up the Yangtze may become
the main attack on China's seat Of
government.
A Japanese Army spokesman ac-
knowledged that fighting in the
Chengchow sector, where Japanese
are besieging the junction Of the
Lunghai and Peiping- -Hankow rail-
roads, was being hampered by mud
and rain.
Actual food conditions do not exist
yet, however, he declared. Japanese
Army engineers said the Yellow had
risen Is feet, but must rise another
is before the situation could be con-
sidered perilous.
Flow Toward Anhwei.
According to ofIicial Chinese dis
patches from Hankow, the fioodwaters
already have crossed the vital east
west Lunghai and are flowing SOUTH
east toward AnhWei.
II supply lines are cut OF by the
food. they declared, the Japanese
could not press their Lunghai cam
paign. ~
Actual occupation Of Anking, Japa-
nese reports said, was achieved by
infantry which was put ashore from
transports and advanced on the pro-
vincial capital from the east and
northeast after japanese warships
shelled the city from the river.
The attack on Anking was described
Is one Of the most dramatic Of the war,
with thick, swirling river fog shield
Ing the warships' movements more
effectively than smoke screens.
With the ships only vaguely sill
houetted at times, the Chinese shore
batteries were virtually useless, wit
ness reported.
A heet Of minesweepers preceded the
main naval force and transports to q
place about 10 miles east Of Ankine
where the first landing party was
sent ashore.
A second landing was made q few
miles from the city after which the
heet left the Army to attack by land
and preceded 1t to lay down q prelim-
mary bombardment. BY the time the
land forces reached Markings out
skirts, japanese said, the main Chi
nese forces were in full flight.
They acknowledged, however, they
encountered stin resistance in hand
to-hand fighting through Anking's
streets before the city was captured.
So thoroughly did the fog shelter
the fleet, japanese said, that small
villages on the river kept lights burn
ing, unaware that hostile forces were
approaching. In many instances, they
declared. the landing parties took the
Chinese defenders by complete sur
prise in the pitch dark, moonless
night.
japanese also reported capture of
Tungcheng, 40 miles north of Anking
on a connecting chain Of waterways.
Japan's fleet now was expected to
have comparatively clear sailing as
far as Hukow, IS miles upriver. Be-
yond that, however, it was expected
to be blocked by the strong boom of
sunken. rock-laden junks, timbers
