Eyer, Czechoslovak German
Frontier, Sept. Is. (UP)-The
Sudeten hotbeds of Nazi unrest
along the German border last
night were splashed with the blood
of Sudetens and Czech soldiers in
open battles fought with tanks,
machine-guns, rifles and hand gre
nades. -,
"The next few hours will deter
mine whether there will be peace
or war" Deputy Ernst Kundt of
the Sudeten Party told me as the
terror spread to wider areas with
a rapidly rising death toll.
SUDETENS ARE ARMED
WITH MACHINE-GUNS
More than 1000 enraged Su-
deten Nazis armed with machine
guns, rifles and pistols battled
hundreds of Czech troops and po-
lice in the town of Habersparirk,
north of Eyer in the Falkenau
district.
Casualties were heavy and, in
the midst of the fighting, | was
told that between 10 and Is Czech
gendarmes and at least Is Sude-
tens had been killed, but it was
impossible to estimate the total
dead and wounded on both sides.
II AREAS PLACED UNDER
MILITARY RULE
The government in Prague,
meeting the crisis by extending
martial law to include three more
Sudeten areas-making a total of
II under military rule-rushed
heavy contingents of troops into
the pit of the fighting.
Shortly before the outbreak at
Habersparirk the Czech military
forces put down an uprising IN
the border village of Schwader-
bach near here.
I'm Prague, the government an
nounced officially that the "insur-
gents at Schwaderbach were re-
PEELED across the German frontier,
taking with them Czech gendarmes
and customs officials they had
captured" The announcement
added that the village of Mark
thausen was "reoccupied by the
Czechs without resistance after in
surgents there withdrew and cross
ed the German frontier.~
HENLEIN'S STORM TROOPERS
ARE IN BATTLE
The government said that eight
gendarmes were killed at Schwa-
derbach in fighting with Sudeten
"S.Z." storm troopers-the crack
cohorts of Konrad Henlein, the
"Czechoslovak Hitler"
Although government announce
ments minimized the extent of the
fighting, reports from Sudeten
areas late last night said that
bloody clashes were continuing.
Sudetens said roads were crowd
ed with troop transports and that
in many villages the soldiers
seemed to outnumber the inhabi-
tants.
Government military authori-
ties said they were in control of
the Schwaderbach district with
the exception of the gendarmerie
station.
Many of the Sudeten storm
TROOPERS were reported to have

BETTER FARMS
ROTARY TOPIC
GIazener Says Increased
Output, Soil Building
Pennsylvania Goal

Julian A. Glazener, county
agent of Pennsylvania county,
outlined to the Rotary club We'd
nesday the program Of his coun-
ty towards increasing farm pro-
duction and building better farms.
Emphasizing that the education
Of the farmer to better practices
is of primary Importance to all
civic clubs as more cash on the
farm means better business to all,
Mr.. Glazener discussed first the
use Of lime and phosphate to
building soil for better legumes.
Soil in this area is deficient in
lime, he said, as is the soil of
upper South Carolina and is also
deficient in phosphate and in or
der to bring about better grazing
lands it is necessary to mend this
deficiency.
From better grazing lands the
county is able to produce more
and better livestock, whether for
dairying, meat or hogs and pigs
and by turning part of the corn
production Of these counties into
hogs more money return from the
corn is possible.
Better soil also means better
trucking and better poultry, both
good cash crops for the farmers.
In Pennsylvania county 81
per cent of the soil has been lost
by erosion and soil conservation
is a primary part of their plan
for better farms. Taking the soil
out of cultivation and building 1t
up through the use of grass and
forestry is being advocated.
Every town benefits from a
better farming community around
it, said the visiting county agent,
and, through soil building and
conservation, these better farms
are produced.
Mr.. Glazener was introduced by
County Agent G. D. White, who
spoke briefly about the corn con-
tests between the two counties
which are sponsored by Mr.. White
and Mr.. Glazener.

EARLIER RETURNS

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. ID. iOP)
Senator Walter F. George. num-
Der man on the presidents list
TO be purged from congress be
cause of conservative tendencies,
appeared this morning TO be rid
ing to victory in the Georgia
Democratic senatorial primary,
while the chief executives New
Deal candidate was out of the
race and rabid anti-New Dealer
second.
George generally was consider
ed the presidents chief objective
i'm the campaign to Gust conserva-
tives and elect liberal legislators
as he was the only one mentioned
by name by President Roosevelt
as a candidate to be defeated.
In the South Carolina and
Maryland primaries in which the
New Dealers also lost, the preSi-
dent inferentially spoke of candi-
dates but did not call any names.
Lawrence S. Camp. the admin
istratiOn'S standard bearer, whom
President Roosevelt personally
endorsed as his favorite. went
down in a crushing defeat, carry
ing only six of the l59 counties.
According to incomplete re-
turns, Eugene Talmadgc. ex-gov-
ernor of red-galluS fame and an
anti-New Dealer. ran a close sec
ond to George and still had a
slight chance to take the lead in
the event large percentage Of
missing precincts swung his way.
With 2O6 county unit votes
necessary for electlon--Statc-widc
popular vote doesn't count -
George was leading in sufficient
counties TO give him 2l6 units if
he keeps up his present pace.
Talmadge had the possibility of
corraling 166 votes in the coun-
ties ne led and there was also a
possibility Of his overtaking
George in incomplete precincts.

j. s. IS READY
TO EVACUATE
ITS CITIZENS
Roosevelt to Survey Full
European Situation in
Capital Tonight
5000 AMERICANS IN
CZECHOSLOVA

WASHINGTON, Sent. -. (CP).
Secretary Of State Cordell Hull,
armed with the latest lnforma-
ton from war-frcightened Europe,
will meet President Roosevelt at
the train tonight when the chief
executive arrives to take personal
command of American foreign
policies.
Hull, in close touch with Amer
lean representative abroad, made
arrangements to meet the prcsl-
dent when he arrives at 7 p. h.
EST. He will accompany him to
the White House where he is eX-
pected to review all phases of the
explosive European situation.
The foreign diplomatic corps
and high government officials
here were stirred profoundly by
British Prime Minister Neville
Chambcrlain'S bold plan for avert
in ga Czccho-German explosion,
hailing it as the first ray of hope
in war-clouded skies.
Although none would comment
for publication, most of the dip
fortatic brigade saw ChambcrIaln's
imp cnding'confcrcnce with Reichs-
fuehrcr Adolf Hitler as get
ting together" which might elimi-
nate misunderstanding and bring
an early solution Of the Czecho-
Sudctcn difficulties. They thcor-
lied that Hitler would not have
consented to the conference UNI
less the prime minister had some
thing to offer.
While President Roosevelt has
tened here from Rochester, Mimi,
the state department, which had
no comment on Chamberlain'S eX-
traordinary maneuver, revealed
that it's European diplomatic ma
chincry is geared for an emerg-
cncy.
Mr.. Roosevelt, who had been at
the bedside of his son James, can
cclled plans to go to the summer
White House at Hyde Park and
ordered his special train to pro-
coed direct to the capital.
Hull said that if the question of
evacuating American nationals
arise, his representative in Eu-
rope are prepared to act. He said,
however, that he had no official
reports that American consuls
were urging nationals to leave I'M
mediately.
Dispatches from London said
the United States consulate there
was advising Americans to book
passage at once, unless their pres
ence were essential. The consul
late, it was said, was pointing out
that it might be difficult to obtain
passage later.
The United States cruiser Nash
vile, which had been anchored
off Portland, England, suddenly
moved to Gravesend, on the
Thames below London, where the
L. S. cruiser Honolulu is due Sat-
urday.
State department officials esti-
mate that there are 107, 900
Americans in Europe, $4,000 Of
them residents. Of the total more
than 5000 are in Czechoslovakia,
5000 in Germany and 10000 in
France, the countries which would
be cmbroiled Immediately by
war.

is Joseph P. Kennedy, American
ambassador to Great Britain. The

The conference may have one
Of several outcomes.
|. Hitler and Chamberlain may

2. If Czechoslovakia refuses to
