CHAMBERLAIN CUTS
GERMAN STAY SHORT
Rx ROBERT H. BEST

Copyright, 1889, by United Press
BERCHTESGADEN, Germany,
Sept. 16. (UP).-Prime Minister
Neville Chamberlain flew back to
London yesterday bearing word of
what Nazi leaders described as
Adolf Hitler's "unswerving" in
sistence that Great Britain COM
pei Czechoslovakia to surrender
direct control of the Sudeten bor-
der areas.
Chamberlain said his historic
three-hour talk with Der Fuehrer
in an Alpine mountainside retreat
had been every friendly"
German quarters indicated,
however, that Hitler's insistence
upon the fright of self-determina-
ton" for the Sudeten Germans
had been so bold as to cause the
British premier to suddenly
change his plans and decide to
hurry back to London.
After comforting with his min
listers at No. 10 Downing street
Chamberlain will return to Ger
many-probably next Wednesday
to confer again with the Fuehr-
er.
The next meeting, however,
probably will be in some town
near the western frontier instead
of over tea cups 5000 feet UP in
the Bavarian mountains, at Hit
ler's hide-away.
CATASTROPHE MAY BE
POSTPONED s DAYS
The freezing" of the dramatic
bargaining with war or peace in
Europe at stake gave Europe a
brief breathing spell and appealed
to have put off for six days at
least the catastrophe that millions
fear.
Germans stressed, however, that
developments in Czechoslovakia
such as the possible arrest of
Sudeten Leader Konrad Henlein,
court martial proceedings against
Sudetens or a ban on Henlein's
party might bring an explosion de-
spite Chambcrlain's bold maneuver
to head it off.
Most Germans, confident that
Hitler had refused to bulge from
his sweeping demands that the g..
100000 Sudetens of Czechoslava-
kia be given a chance to "come
home" to the Reich, believed that
Chamberlain was carrying home a
proposal that will mean annexa-
ton of the Sudetenland if it is
carried out.
They believed that when the
momentous conference on the
mountain top broke up Hitler him.
