The rank and file of the Sudeten
Germans cannot be controlled much
longer and explosion might occur at
any time. This was the warning given
Sir Neville Henderson by the Berlin
authorities on the eve of his departure
for London to report to his government
the actual situation in Central Europe,
it was learned here.
Thus the European tension has been
heightened since Sir John Simon's
reports received here over the week
end from various European capitals.
Sir Neville Henderson, Britain's
Ambassador to Berlin. has had several
conversations with high ranking Ger
man officials before leaving for Lon
don.
These conversations turned natural
ly around the speech OF the British
chancellor OF the exchequer. The gist
of that speech had been known to Ber-
lin a day before it was made Its re-
action on Czech and French opinion
was not pleasing to the German gov
ernment 1t merely added fuel to the
fire, said German foreign ONCE off,
cials.
Baron Won Ribbentrop. Germany's
foreign secretary, is reported to have
pointed out to Ambassador Hender-
son that if Britain is anxious to avoid
a war in Central Europe. it should in
duce the Czech government to make
substantial concessions to the minori-
ties.
Concessions Limited.
The German foreign secretary en-
phasized the fact that 10 weeks have
gone by since the communal elections
in Czechoslovakia, which showed that
95 per cent of the Sudeten Germans
were behind Henelin. Instead of max
ing the necessary provisions to give
a cantonal form of government to the
Czech minorities, President Benes has
confined his concessions to Offer
ing few jobs to some selected Ger
mans and allowing the German Ian
guage to be placed on an equal foot
ing with the Czech in the Sudeten
regions. These concessions, said Rib
bentrop, are far from satisfying the
Sudeten Germans or the government
Of the Reich.
If the British government is genu-
inely interested in the preservation of
peace, added the German diplomat,
it should use its influence in making
President Benes see the light instead
OF warning Germany.
How concerned Great Britain is over
the possibilities of her being dragged
into war is clear from the soundings
made in Washington regarding our
neutrality.
American Neutrality.
1t is obvious to the London leaders
that for while at least America will
have to maintain political neutrality
in an eventual conflict. 1t is equally

SAYS BARLEY
TO LOSE RACE

WASHINGTON, April IA. CUP
State Democratic Chairman Robert
Humphreys of Kentucky predicted
Yesterday that Governor A. b.
Happy Chandler will defeat Sen
ate Majority Leader Alben w.
Barkley for the Democratic sena-
torial. nomination despite the lat
ter's administration support.
Humphrey said that Chandler
would carry seven or eight OF
nine congressional districts at the
August Democratic primary but
that the party, regardless OF the
nominee, will sweep to victory in
the November election.
Opposition to Senator Barkley
is based on the belief that Govern
or Chandler can and will serve
Kentucky better" he said. His in
terests lie entirely with Kentucky.
The people know that next year
Governor Chambers term expires,
and that he either goes out or is
promoted"
Humphrey, who came here to
confer with the Kentucky delega-
ton while en- roue to New York to
confer with attorneys on a state
bridge matter, characterized re-
ports that Works Progress admin
istration workers were being mo-
bilized behind Barley, stern New
Deal supporter, as only a rumor'
but said that it would boomerang,
if true. in behalf of Chandler.
His prediction of the New Deal S
senate leaders defeat came while
Chairman Patrick II. Drewry, d.,
Va, of the Democratic national
congressional committee, heralded
results of the Illinois primary as
uniform popular endorsement OF

to have put Gen. Miguel Aranda's
Galician Insurgents on the out
skirts of San Mateo, which con-
trolls the main roads to Vinaroz,
Benicarlo and Valencia.
Insurgent quarters quoted 10y
alist prisoners as saying that the
government, apparently resigned
to Insurgent capture of the sea-
board, was concentrating heavy
reinforcements south of Vinaroz
in an effort to prevent Franco
from striking on to the south
along the coast toward Valencia.
Some Loyalist prisoners were
quoted as saying that the govern
ment would attempt to maintain
contact between Barcelona and
Valencia by sea of the coastal
strip falls into enemy hands.

them against any Insurgent fleet
Or any foreign shins aiding the

said).
The Loyalists, taking advantage
of Francois concentration of his
troops in the San Mateo sector
struck hard and quickly against

$1,15O TO EDITORS
Holds Co|ored Newspaper
Men Were Brought Here
to Get Advice,

The Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministration yesterday defended its
action in spending sl,15O toward the
expenses of gathering of colored
newspaper editors in Washington
early in December arranged for the
purpose of obtaining their co-opera-
ton in acquainting colored farmers
with the Governments soil con-
servatlon and soil erosion program.
Senator Bulkley Democrat, of Ohio
placed in the Congressional Record
the letter of H. R. Tolley, admins
traitor, explaining the editors confer
ence. Senator Bulkley said one of
his constituents asked him if it were
true the Agriculture Department had
paid the expenses of the conference
to discuss the farm bill, and if so
was it justified. Mr. Bulkley sent the
inquiry to the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration.
Mr.. Tolley's reply pointed out that
from the beginning of the A. A. A.
program representative groups of
farmers and others have been consult
ed for advice both as to development
and administration. He explained
Evening star., 1938-01-08

the gathering in question was in line
with that policy and added that it
seemed fair that the Government
should bear the editors expenses,
since it intended to make use of
their suggestions in dealing with prac-
tical problems of administration"
Mr.. Tolley pointed out there are
850.000 colored farm families in the
United States. of whom $4,000 are
renters and share croppers. He ar
gued that soil destruction is probably
more acute in the South than in any
other area, and that the editors con-
ference was arranged with the ad-
vice of the acting director of the
Southern regional division of the
A. A. A. The letter declared that
Government officials did not take the
initiative in discussing the farm bill
and said questions concerning it were
only answered in a factual way.
