 Bratislava, Czechoslovakia, Nov. l. -(UP)--For nearly three weeks 62 CzechoSlovak Jews, men, women and children, have been camping on Q new cement highway in no mans land between Czechoslovakia and German Eudetenland, with only patched together sheets of canvas over them for shelter.
 They were victims of the crisis as the result of which a portion of Czechoslovak Sudetenland was Ceded to Germany. They had been citizens of Czechoslovakia, Now they are without a country. Neither Czechoslovakia nor Germany will have them.
 I visited the no mans land near Lundenburg, between the CZechoslo- yak and German frontier posts.
 I found them living on the road, so far not being used, under canvas shelter, not knowing what would eventually happen to them. Near ing the end of their third week as outcasts, they were waiting for friends and realtives to conclude negotiations with the CzechoSlovak and other foreign governments in hope that they could get new homes.
 Refugees Mostly Women
 The refugees are chiefly women. There are babies in arms and there is a blind woman of 84. There are eight children, six married couples, several women above 50.
 Originally there were 168 in all. Many of the men folk managed to get across the frontier into Czecho- slovakia at night to seek help.
 Refugees said CZechoslovak auth critics permitted one of the refugees to be taken to a hospital after she went insane and that another was permitted to go to hospital af- ter she gave birth to baby in an- other, smaller camp of refugees a few miles away.
 I questioned more than 20 indi- viiuals and the broad lines of their stories were the same.
 One Only Remained
 Of 8 total of 510 Jews residing at Lundenburg when it passed from Czechoslovak to German hands only one was permitted to remain. She was Rosa Winter, widow of Bern hard Winter, an American citizen.
 Within A to 52 hours after Lun- denhurg became German, all Jew ish men were imprisoned. German police searched Jewish homes and told the women folk they must leave for Czechoslovakia within "A hours. Many of the women hurried at oilce across the frontier with what possessions they could carry.
 The more cool headed arranged for transport of part of their fur niture across the frontier.
 Elected from Homes
 Women who did not leave their homes were elected after 24 hours by police who took the keys to their

BROCKTON GAS
 STRIKE MAY END

Brockton, Mass, Nov. 1-(UP)- State labor authorities, at Governor Hurley's request, today invited union leaders and company officials into conference, hoping to speed settle ment of a strike which threatened to cut of the gas supply to 23,000 homes in 9 communities.
 The state arbitration board sum- moned representatives of both sides to meet at l p. m. at the state house at Boston.
 President John Collins of the Brockton Gas Workers, Union left for Boston. It was not announced immediately who would represent the company.

Frank Murphy of Michigan to settle automobile sit-down strikes last year. He denied that he was an ad- ministrs tion spokesman and as- serted that he did not know until after Dies had made his charges that Charles Nicholson, publicity director of the Democratic national committee, had arranged for his broadcast.
 Dies did not mention Anderson. He also refrained from directly crit icizing President Roosevelt's formal statement rebuking the committee last week. He said, however:
 "If the president is displeased with the way in which the investi; gation has been conducted, why hasn't he or his department heads furnished us with investigators, law yers and clerical assistants?"
 According to Dies the senate civil liberties committee assigned two men to assist his committee, but they were refused because, he said, he believed the men were assigned to Sabotage the investigation"
 Protection of Nation
 Dies said that the preservation of Americanism and the protection of this country against the infiltra- ton of alien influences and philoso- phies" must be placed above 'par- tisanship and political expediency.' ''
 America is the last bulwark of freedom" he said. land with all my heart I believe that if we are to prove an exception ot the tragic fate of all other republics we must aggressively and fearlessly expose and combat the insidious forces that are tirelessly at work to de- stroy the American system and sub- stitute in it's stead some alien form of dictatorship"
 He gave no indication that he would alter his plan to complete hearings within the next three weeks, despite such a request by one member of the committee. He has insisted that he would continue 'undeterred and unafraid."
 Anderson Attacks
 With only station identification announcement intervening, Ander- son began a critical account of the committee. He described the inves- tigation as "slip-shod and shocking ly unfair."s
 Some of the most fantastic yarns ever heard outside of an insane asy- lum are gravely accepted by the committee without the faintest effort to discover whether the witnesses are credible or responsible, or whether they are actuated by ul- terior motives" Anderson said.
 He said that serious accusations are made against public officials who are not present to defend them selves and that confessed labor spies testify hour after hour"
 Referring to MT. RooSevelt's charge that the committee had per- mitted itself to be used to influence Governor Murphy's reelection, An derson said that although one wit ness had accused the governor of treason and another had called him a tool of the communists, none of these accusations were supported by anything except the bare statements of their authors
 T don't think anyone who studied this performance could escape the impression that it was deliberately staged and that its purpose was to defeat Governor Murphy when he comes up for reelection next week, J he said.

JAPAN TO BROOK
 NO OPPOSITION
tcontinued from Page D.

(Continued from Page D discussed foreign policy generally and said that Japan has learned the advantage of carrying a big stick and speaking boldly.
 Adolf Hitler was loud about his complete willingness to go to war and consequently he didn't have to go to war.
 'At present we are being very explicit in making known our in- tentions in regard to Soviet Russia.
 StilI Friends of U. s.
 Although Japan and the United States are not on very friendly terms at present and you have been calling us names across the Pacific, the basis for friendship between the two countries still exists.
 Tn their worst days of misunder- standing, there was never any thought of war between them. We are quite certain there will be no such war.
 Therefore, Japan can afford to wait for Americas understanding without seeking 1t through propa- ganda methods. We do not consider 1t worthwhile to talk about our- selves.
 "Our two countries are bound to- gether so strongly that, like old friends who know they will never separate, they can afford to quib- ble."
 Shiratori said that the chief les son Japan learned from the con- quest of China was to speak body.
 Citing Hitler's triumph in the Czech crisis, he said:
 Place Lost In 1887
 Peace could have been maintain ed in China if a few statesmen had been bold enough to tell China the truth in 1897.
 we should have told them we would fight to the end if they con- tinued their anti-Japanese policy. As it was, the Chinese were not afraid. They went too far-so far that they exhausted Japanese pa- tience.
 First we tried to confine our selves to North China, but the Chinese under Chiang Kai-Shek- not Japanese-were destroying the country. Now it is necessary to in- clude all of China in our considera- tions. We are determined that the terrible sacrifices by both sides shall not have been in vain.
 "In the final analysis, the war was necessary for China's rejuvena- ton. Ultimately, the Chinese will understand and appreciate what we are trying to do"
 Chinese Must Help
 He said that a large part of the rejuvenation of China would be left to the Chinese themselves and ad- mitted that the task would be diff ficult. The material gains probably would not be commensurate with the cost, he added.
 "ONr motives spring from basic Japanese beliefs," he added. we have always been taught that it Is the duty of the Emperor to make all mankind happy, regardless of the sacrifices involved for ourselves. As you must have noticed, the Jap- anese are intrinsically cheerful and need very little material comfort for happiness"
 He said that there was a growing trend toward Fascism in Japan.
 T welcome the term Fascism as I do the term totalitarianisrn, 7 Shiratori said.
 "There has been enough Anglo Saxon influence in this country. It is time we allied ourselves with Italy and Germany to prevent en- croachments by the popular front

MARCHING TO THE MAJORS

NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-Maybe
Uncle Sans antitrust agents
down in Washington should do
something about Colonel Jake
Ruppert's baseball monopoly.
The Chicago Cubs would prob
ably be happy to swear out war
rants.
+ Three straight World Series
pennants-each won a bit more
impressively than the preceding
one. The Yanks lost two games
to the Giants in the 1886 World
Series. Last year they gave but
one to the Giants. And they've
just walloped the Cubs in four
straight. Twelve victories in
their last Is World Series starts.
II May Continue
And it appears that this may
just as we'll go on indefinitely, if
Colonel Jake so desires. He has
the best team in the major
leagues. Likewise he owns per-
haps the two best minor-league
clubs, Kansas City of the Ameri-
can association and Newark of
the International league. Kansas
City beat Newark for the Little
World Series championship. 1t
was Rupert pitting his left hand
against his right. He won either
way.
AS they say about the coaches
of strong football teams, the Yam
KEGS have 'em three deep. Scat
tered out over their system of
farm clubs are players the Yanks
already have tabled for future
spots on the varsity. When any
of the Yankee cogs slow down,
Colonel Jake just reaches tosDnS
of his dozen or so farms and picks
up suitable replacement.
Therell be soHleTchanges on
the Yankees next year. Hoag. and
Selkirk and Powell weren't Yany
bargains this season and one or
more of them likely will be gone
next spring. Charley Keller, the
international league battin G
champion from Newark, and Jim
Gallagher from Kansas City are
coming up.
And Buddy Rosar, the hard
Slapping catcher from Newark.
probably will don a Yankee uni
form. He hit around $50 for
Newark. Bill Dickey still is tops
among backstops but Bill is get
ting no younger fast. Manager
Joe Mccarthy can use Rosar.
Gehrig Going Down?
Lou uron Horse Gehrig ap-
parently has begun to slide. but
gracefully. Lou wound up with a
batting average under 800 for
the first time in the Ia years he
has been a Yankee regular. But
you can't begin to read guy out
of the league when only eight
other players in the entire Loop
batted in more runs. Tommy
Heinrich. now an outfi5lder, is
tagged to be the first baseman
when Gehrig finally steps down.
The Yankees also will look
over some pitching talent next
spring. Ruffing. despite his two
1888 Series triu1nphs. is "a years
old and a veteran Of Is years

during the last three years, but

SCHEDULE of the Monroe
County Baseball League for next
Sunday will bring together Tro-
JAMS, who are undefeated so far
in this series, and Bacardi Club.
Trojans have a smart club-and
look it in their new uniforms of
steel gray with the name "Sea
Food Grille" in green across the
back. Bacardis have a ball club
that can compete with any in the
league.
Joe House, Rum moundsman,
proved he is in shape when he
pitched no-hit no-run ball against
All-Stars last Sunday. Izzy Rod
riguez, behind the plate, is an
other good addition to the club.
Fans can rest assured that
when Trojans and Bacardi Club
meets in the first game Sunday
at Navy Field that the fur will
fly in all direction.
Key West Conchs, should they
be in town, will meet Smith Pou1-
try and Egg Company nine in the
second fracas. Both clubs are in
great shape and very good ex-
hibition of the national pastime
is expected. Conchs will be in
there fighting the best they know
how because a victory will put
them but a game and a half out
of first place. Should Poultry
men win they will come up to
within a half game of top posi-
ton.
Cyril Griffin has added punch
20 the Poultry outfit. Barcelo
will be back on first, which will
give the Eggmen still more power
Gates or Tynes win pitch.
Carbonell or Bethel will start
for the Conchs and Esmond Al
bury will receive the pitches.
In the opener Wickers and Joe
Navarro will be the battery for
the Trojans: Casa and Rodriguez
for Bacardis. This game win be-
