IN MAGINOT ZONE, Northeast ern France Sept. 6.-Tens of thou sands of troops and thousands of tons of military equipment have arrived in northeastern France and vanised into the maginot line of Frances border.
 The population talked little else today besides the calling to tha colors of an estimated 300,000 re- servists and watch for trouble from over there"
 over there" to the Frenchmen in the maginot line means the Ger man side of the frontier where the new siegfried line is manned by a strong force of Germany's crack troops.
 In the main streets of Metz, Ver- dun, Nancy and other maginot zone centers there were fewer troops visible than usual. The answer was that all leaves have been cancelled and the troops remained under ground in the Qualifications and garrisons of the maginot zone.
 Troop trains brought thousands to these centers but most of them dropped off in tiny hamlets which are only dots on the tourist maps but are of vital importance on the military maps.

LEWIS ENDORSED BY PRESIDENT IN MARYLAND RACE
Roosevelt Pledges Self to Try and Keep Demo-
 cratic Party Liberal

DENTON, Maryland, Sept. G. President Roosevelt yesterday pledged his personal effort to try and keep" the Democratic Party liberal in an address here praising the legislative record of the New Deals senatorial candidate in Mary land, Representative David Lewis.
 The President mentioned in his prepared address neither Lewis nor Senator Tydings, who the White House has marked for defeat in the Democratic primary, but his praise of Lewis was unmistakable while many hearers were recalling that Roosevelt once said that Tydings wants to run with Roosevelt pres- tige and the money of his con- servative Republican friends both on his side"
 Listeners interpreted these words as directed at the Senator: Any man and any political party has the right to be honestly one or the other, conservative or liberal. but the nation cannot stand for the confusion of having him pretend to be one and act like the other"
 The President spoke to the east ern shore farmers, who brought their picnic lunches.

HITLER FAILS TO
 MENTION CZECHOSLOvAKIA

NURNBERG, Sept. 6.-Chancel- Tor Adolf Hitler ignored Czecho- slovakia in his proclamation at the opening of the 10th annual Nazi Congress here, disappointing anx- ious European statesmen who had hoped for an inkling of Germany's intentions in Central Europe.
 Almost the whole 5,000-word pro- clamation dealt with the inner condition of Germany, particularly the economic situation which der Fuehrer assured his followers was so healthy that the nation need not worry about food for years to come"
 Through the voice of the district leader, Adolf Wagner, who read the proclamation. Hitler denied his in- tention Of forming a pact with foreign powers. The statement was cheered thulderously. Instead, he declared, he was offering the peo- pie greater Germany.
 Referring to the absorption March 13 of Austria he described "six and half million Germans who today are spiritually united strong CT than ever in a great indissoluble community"
 Alluding to Italy's action against the Jews, he said, another great European power shares the same conception and with admirable de- termination has drawn the most far reaching conclusions

Cardinal Hayes, Who Rose from
 9Sidewalks of Neu York to One Of CreatEminence, Passes A,vay

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-Cardinal Patrick Hayes succumbed to a heart attack early Sunday morning at St. Joseph's Camp for Boys and Girls.
 Cardinal Hayes rose from being an orphan boy on "the sidewalks of New York to become an Arch bishop and Prince of the Catholic Church.
 A handsome, white-haired man of modest girth, better than aver age height and unassuming dignity, he made a striking figure as, in his scarlet robes and beret, he re- viewed Fifth Avenues annual St. Patrick's Day parades from the steps of St. Patrick's Cathedral. He was beloved by the large Catholic population he shepherded and con- gregations of more than 5000 would crowd the Cathedral whenever it was known that he was to cele- brate high mass.
 Richest Archdiocese
 Since 1919 he headed the richest archdiocese in the world Gin nor mal years New York contributes more to the Vatican than all of Europe). His ecclesiastical domain included the southern corner of New Tor k State (eXcept Long IslanO and the Bahamas British possessions). It included several institutions of higher education, 452 churches, 1875 priests, a Catholic population of 100000 and church properties worth hundreds of mill lions of dollars.
 Prohibition Views
 He was known for the great reserve of his occasional public statements. He utilized his great political influence chiefly against indecency on the stage, liberaliza- tion of divorce and birth control legislation, and the child labor amendment He held that prohibi tion should be applied to intem- perate individuals, rather than to the whole nation.
 In Roman Catholic countries of Europe the princely position of Cardinal is emphasized with much pomp, but Cardinal Hayes contin- ued the policy of his predecessors of adapting the position to democ- racy. He lived almost specifically in the small stone episcopal residence under the rear caves of the cathe- dral.
 Two Sidewalk" Cardinals
 He was born near the foot of Manhattan Island in City Hall Place on November 20, 1867. Al Smith lived few blocks to the east. In later years they became close friends.
 The future cardinals mother, Mary Gleeson Hayes, dieds when he was four and his father, Daniel Hayes, truckman, a few years | later.
 When his mother died he went to live with an aunt and uncle, James and Ellen Egan, who kept
