HITLER EXPECTED
TO TALK ON SPAIN
Announcement Is Scheduled
to Be Given Reichstag
Tomorrow.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN. March 17.-Reichsfuehrer
Hitler. curtailing his triumphant tour
of Nazified Austria because of in
creasing gravity of affairs elsewhere
in Europe. may give to the world to-
morrow an important announcement
on Spain and her long and bitter civil
war.
Der Fuehrer summoned the Reich
stag to meet tomorrow to hear "a
declaration" and the marked en-
phasis placed on Spanish events by
government spokesmen indicated that
Spain may be an important subject
OF that declaration.
No one, as usual, profeSsed to know
exactly what Hitler. Europe's man OF
surprises. had in mind.
But, officials said, there was not in
prospect any critical development in
the Ithuanian-Polish crisis, at Ger
many's back door, or elsewhere.
"The story is in Spain. not in
Northern Europe" the foreign Office
spokesman said
Even Vienna has practically ceased
to interest statesmen. The Austrian
Anschluss Cunion with Germany is a
closed chapter"
Returned Yesterday.
Fuehrer Hitler returned to Berlin
yesterday from his triumphant visit
to Nazif1ed Vienna, met by an honor
guard of infantry and cheered by
Berlin crowds enjoying a specially
proclaimed holiday.
Speaking briefly from the Chancel-
lery balcony, at the insistence of the
throng, he said: "you can readily
imagine how happy feel to see all
Germandom solidly behind me-
1t was thought likely his Reichstag
message tomorrow would include an
elaboration of the past months events,
which began with the Berchtesgaden
meeting Of Hitler and Austria's
schuschnigg February IL, and ended
with Schuschniggs resignation and
Austria's loss of independence.
May Touch on Poland.
There was the possibility. too, Hitler
might deal with the Poland-Lithu
anian dispute.
Lithuania and Poland have been
at odds since Poland's seizure of Wilno
18 years ago. Lithuania still calls
Wilno its capital, and the League of
Nations has sought unsuccessfully to
resolve the dispute. The border clash
accentuated existing ill-feeling.
Poland's demands of Lithuania in
settling the dispute were said to in
clude: l. That Lituania's constitution
be, shorn of its reference to Wilno as
the capital; 2. That Lithuania live up
to a League of Nations resolution
urging both countries to negotiate
toward "normalizing" their relations.
dithuanians fear Germany
might take advantage of the pres
ent tenseness to gain return of
Memel, part of Lithuania which
Germany regards as 'unredeemed
territory" lost in the World War;
Speculation on Czechs.
Aside from Spain, considerable
speculation here dealt with what
Fuehrer Hitler might have to saw
about the future of Germans residents
in Czechoslovakia - Germans whom
Hitler already has pledged the nation
to protest.
Nazi deputies in the Czech Parlia-
ment have made clearcut demands
for autonomy the past two days, and
it seemede evident they expected a
marked indication of support from
Hitler.

 No such situation ever will arise" he insisted.

Yet when Lee attempted to criticise the leaders of the Youth Congress for including the Com munist League, the youngsters con- sidered it dirty play They hissed the Oklahoma Senator so roundly that even the Staid official stenog- rapher mentioned it in his tran script.

WHO HIT LOUIS HARDEST? "Schmelin ICuess''
By AURELIUS KINSEY AP Feature Service Writer

CHICAGO, IL. March 30 - Max Schmeling stands out in Champion Joe Louis memory as the fighter who has hit him the hardest and is the hardest to hit.
 The Brown Bomber sat upon the dressing room table getting his hands taped for a workout pre- liminary to his scrap with Harry Thomas, Eagle Bend, Minn., heavy weight, in Chicago stadium, April l. This is one of Louis "warm-up" bouts before he meets Schmeling in Chicago or New York next June.
 Louis greeted the interviewer with a nod.
 Tell us, Joe, who has hit you the hardest blow you've received?"
 Joe watched his trainer wrap court plaster over thickly ban daged knuckles and said:
 "Schmeling, I guess.
 That made sense because Schmel- ing was the only man ever to hand Louis knockout blow.
 Well, what boxers style has been the hardest for you to figure out?"
 "Schmeling, I guess
 What was there about his style that was tough?"
 Well, he fights sideways and he leans his head back. He's hard to get to and it's hard to nail him with a left hook"
 That is Joe's pet punch and he figures he will get chance to use it on Max when they meet in June because he has studied the latter's crab-like style and is picking spar ring partners who can give him that kind of a target.
 Louis said he gained some ideas about Schmeling's style from mo- tion pictures taken of their last fight. He figures he has solved the mystery of the Germans stance.
