Prague to Call Hitler Bluff,

Further 4 aggression,
Says La,uyer.

Reichsfuehrer Hitler is staging a
bluff in his Sudeten move. and few
persons in Czechoslovakia believe he
will permit his armies to 60 any
farther than they have. He is fearful
when resistance is shown, and he is
fully cognizant that he will meet

ton which has the eyes Of most of

Hitler is known to be of boastful ma :
ture, but with it all, Mr. Mandl said,
he is careful man, and the Czechs

risk an invasion of the little republic.
They know him, perhaps, better than

clination to move when he knows the
resistance will be great, he said. Hit
Ter never wants to lose, Mr.. Mandl

said, that it would be suicidal for
him to throw his troops into these
mountains.

republic has sufficient airplanes to
carry on defense against any army
that Hitler might send And, Mr..

DELAY ON ALIENS
SUCCESSOR SEEN
Crisis Holds Up Selection.
100 Candidates, Including
Women, Suggested.
By J. RUSSELL YOUNG.


The pressure Of European affairs
may prevent President Roosevelt from
selecting successor to George E. Allen
as District Commissioner for some
time, it was learned yesterday.
Mr.. Roosevelt, 1t was said. has not
had time to give serious thought to
the appointment Although he has
discussed the matter casually with one
or two close friends who are we'll
posted on District matters. he has not
given any indication he has any one
IN mind for the post
II IS believed the President may
look to MI Allen to aid him in arriv-
ing at choice. He has discussed the
matter with Mr.. Allen, but only in a
general way.
The President personally desired
Mr. Allen to remain at the District
Building for awhile longer-two or
three months, or so-but this proved
out OF the question. However, there
is reason to believe Mr.. Roosevelt may
have the help of the former Commits
sioner in selecting successor. He
realizes Mr.. Allen knows virtually
every one of prominence in Washing
ton and can aid materially in at least
narrowing down the list for final
selection.
Many Names Suggested.
There are at least 80 or 100 persons
whose names have been suggested or
who have suggested themselves and
these names must be run through
the process of elimination to at least
the point where there are not more
than dozen or so to consider
seriously.
Postmaster General Farley, who in
the past has been consulted about
local appointments. said recently he
had given the matter of Mr.. Aliens
successor no thought and that the
President had not yet discussed it
with him.
There has been speculation that
the President might take this oppor-
tunity to appoint a woman to the
commissionership but there is no
reason to believe this will happen.
The names of several have been
proposed
Mrs. Doyle Suggested.
Prominent among the women sug-
gested are Mrs Henry Grattan Doyle,
president of the Board of Education
of the District, and Mrs. Cary T.
Grayson, widow Of Admiral Grayson,
for years head of the American Red
Cross, physician to President Wilson,
and close personal friend of the
President.
Numerous civic leaders and persons
prominent in citizens association
work are among the candidates.
There was some belief the President
might find solution by elevating
someone already in the service of the
District government In this .connec-
ton the names of Daniel j. Donovan,
veteran auditor Of the District, and
Elwood H. Seal, corporation counsel,
have been prominently mentioned.
Mr.. Donovan is known to have in
formed his friends he prefers to re-
main in his present place. Mr.. Seals
friends have been active in his behalf
and some believe his chances of Sc
lection are good, or, at least. that he
will appear in the final preferred list
from which the President will name
his choice.
