BERLIN, April IL. (UP)-Eu-
ropean diplomats watched today
the Austro- German reich's small
neighboring countries where Adolf
Hitler's overwhelming plebiscite
victory furnished powerful
weapon for Nazi organizations.
Chief center of interest was
Czechoslovakia. Diplomatic observ-
ers believed that Germany, Poland
and Hungary soon would demand
the fullest degree Of autonomy
for their minorities in that coun-
try in view of the increasing ma
tionalistic fervor Of peoples sepa-
rated from mother countries by
postwar treaties. ,
The almost unanimous approval
bv the electorate of Germany ana
Austria of Anschluss brought an
immediate demand from Nazls and
other minorities for closed asso-
citation with their own peoples.
Konrad Henlein, leader OF the
Sudeten German party in Czecho-
slovakia, took occasion at the con-

Mr., Redden wrote the governor.
Henderson county has, in my
opinion. failed to receive its pro-
portionate share of work on the
farm-to-market roads during the
past two years. Consequently
these roads are seriously IN need
Of repair. In many instances very
important roads have become I'M
passable during the past winter,
although the weather was unusual
ly mild. This condition has become
so widespread in the county that
our local daily paper has comment
ed editorially upon the necessity
of immediate improvement 10
these roads," Mr.. Redden wrote.
"The citizens of Henderson
county strongly endorse your ef-
forts to improve the farm-to,mar-
ket roads, and when the highway
commission convenes on THURSDAY
morning to determine where TINS
allotment will be spent, trust you
will make known our needs.
Mr.. Redden stated this morning
that if Henderson county received
