NURNBERG. Germany, sCpt. o.
Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler. apparent
ly too deeply engrossed in the crisis
over Czechoslovakia. failed today to
deliver scheduled address at the 10th
annual Nazi party congress.
The explanation was given that
business Of the state prevented" his
appearance.
He was understood to be studying
the Czechoslovak situation after For
elgn Minister Joachim Won Ribben-
trop had reported to him on a confer
ence with Sir Neville Henderson, Brit
lsh Ambassador to Germany.
High Nazis, in defiant mood, pre-
dicted Hitler would demand-and get
"A plebiscite for the Sudeten Ger
man minority in Czechoslovakia.
1t was the Fuehrer's first failure to
attend the annual Women's Auxiliary
rally during the decade Of Nurnbers
congresses.
ASiS
Gertrud Scholtz-Klink, Nazi wom-
ems leader, told 10000 disappointed
women, I'VE know that what our
Fuehrer does is always right. so We
send him our greetings and pledge of
loyalty"
Ribbentrop attended the rallv after
conferring for almost an hour with Sir
Neville. What they discussed was not
disclosed.
Nazis advancing the plebiscite scheme
at what they deemed an opportune mo-
ment argued that Hitler would give the
British a chance to save face" on the
failure" of their unonicial mediation
efforts because the plebiscite is q
democratic institution"
The Fuehrer firmly rejected all
Czechoslovak efforts to compromise the
Sudeten German minority dispute over
self-government
He was said to have called them
mot subject to discussion" and to
seem determined, after another day
OF numerous conferences behind the
scenes of the annual Nazi party con-
sress, 10 wear down British patience.
The mission of Viscount Runciman
(unofhcial British mediator in Praha)
is only another intervention COM
mittee," prominent Nazis said, refer
ring to international efforts to stop the
Spanish war.
"The British fail completely to un-
derstand that Naziism is a highly
dynamic movement which wants clear
cut decisions-no dilly-dallying."
Press Exploits Incident.
The incident at -Ostrau,
Czechoslovakia, Wednesday when a
sudeten German deputy allegedly was
struck by the whip Of Czech police
man, was exploited to the limit in the
Nurnberg press.
IT the Praha government cannot
keep order, the Nazis asked, how can
1t have authority to conclude binding
agreements?
1t seemed clear that the public mind
was being prepared carefully for the
idea that Germany must help the
Sudeten German brothers in the name

Leader James j. Hines.

NEW YORK, Sept. e.-District At
torney Thomas E. Dewey battled to-
day to prevent collapse of the States
four -week-old case against James J.
Hines, with Supreme Court Justice
Ferdinand Pecora indicating grave
doubts" on the legal basis of the In
dictment as he pondered a defense
motion for dismissal.
The youthful prosecutor, smiling 4
little grimly in the face of Defense
Counsel Lloyd Paul Stryker's chal-
lenge to end the case against the
Tammany leader without word of
defense testimony. filed a four-page
memorandum with Justice Pecora con-
tending it was perfectly proper to
merge charges of conspiracy with
charges of completed crime.
Mr.. Stryker had asserted yesterday,
IN three-hour attack on the States
case, that the 0,O0O, ,00O-a-year Dutch
Schultz policy racket conspiracy ended
with the death of the Dutchman"
in October. l935-outside the two

counsel to give serious consideration
to the question of merging a misde-
meanor WITH felony.

British Public Aroused,

LONDON, Sept 9 (Fl.-Evidence Of
mounting public support for an umnis-
taxable British warning to Germany
before it is too late" weighed heavily
today in favor of such a course in
ministerial meetings devoted to the
Czech-German crisis.
Persons in all walks of life were
shaken out of their Indifference to
European crisis and recalled the inde-
cision and delays of the British gov
ernment in 1914. They urged strong
declaration at once.
These developments occurred as the
French government was reported to be
pressing Britain to follow the French
example of wartime preparedness: One
informant said the reason was that
Britain had failed by diplomacy to con-
vince Germany she would fight if
Czechoslovakia were invaded.
Some Britons believed a warning to
Germany-perhaps going far beyond
any previous intimations of British
intervention in the event of Central
European conf1ict-was being pre-
pared.
One reason for the belief was the
increasing part being played in dip
lomatic conferences by Sir John ST.
mon, chancellor of the eXchequer and
former foreign secretary, whose keen
legal mind frequently has been en-
ployed i'll drafting important state
ments of policy.
The cabinet was summoned to meet
Monday morning few hours in ad-
vance Of Adolf Hitler's possibly fate
full speech at the conclusion of the
annual Nazi party congress in Nurn-
berg. Germany.
Some Britons believed further
declaration of British policy-supple-
menting that by Sir John in an ad-
dress August u at Lanark Scotland
that a Central European war might
spread-was needed earlier than Mon
day.

declared
1T should be made plain beyond
the possibility of all misunderstanding
that efforts of the Czech government
to satisfy the minority demands are
watched.with sympathy and approval
and that an endeavor from any quar-
ter to reach a settlement by force
would involve risks no man can cal
culate"
Informed quarters believed that
Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain
might follow this advice and repeat
more forcefully his and Sir Johns
declarations that Britain might find
it impossible to stand aside from a
conflict developing over Czechoslo-
vakia
At the same time he might disclose
British military precautions for an
emergency-such as France was said
to be urging in conjunction with her
own extensive preparations
The Praha government also was
urging Britain to show publicly more
support for the far-reaching conces-
sions it has offered the Sudeten Ger
mans, largely at the insistence of

Is Plea, Begging
Firm Stand.

B. the Associated Press.
PARIS, Sept 9.-With French ner-
vousness regarding Britain's position
in the German-Czech crisis increasing,
diplomatic circles reported today that
Charles Corbin French Ambassador to
London, had been instructed to ask
the British government to proclaim
publicly that it would defend the terri
torial integrity of Czechoslovakia.
A high foreign Office off1cial said he
was unable either to confirm or deny
this report.
Some sources also said Corbin had
been told to ask Britain to take de
fensive security measures" similar to
those taken by France in putting her
army, navy and air force on pre-
paredness footing.
The belief was widely held that as
long as Hitler has the impression
that he can hope for new British
pressure on Praha he will continue
to demand more and more of the
Czechoslovak government
Doubt British Resolution.
The French Ambassadors reported
actions were followed by increasingly
numerous expressions of doubt in gov
ernment and diplomatic quarters that
British Prime Minister Neville Cham
berlain was maintaining a firm stand
on the issue between Germany and
CZechoslovakia
Informed French quarters held that
Britain must clearly impress on Hitler
her determination to join France if
war comes over the Sudeten German
dispute.
Either a public declaration or firm
representations at Nurnberg, where
Hitler is attending the annual Nazi
Congress. is necessary to convince
the Fuehrer that Britain means
business they declared
They also expressed fear that
vavering policy on the part of Cham
berlain's government might ALLEVIATE
sympathy for France and Great
Britain in the United States.

Homecoming Travellers
Defy Sot's Rays in
Huge Chapeaux
By GLORIA BARTLETT

IF vo,l've noticed mere and there that traffic
was extra chock-a-bloc lately, it's probably be-
cause the returned travellers from the Virgin
Islands are out with their hats on. You can
see by the pictures that the hats are BIG But
Won can't see that they are handmade Of sturdy
grass and dyed in brilliant hues. The small
high fedora-like crowns are piquant to say the
least. The girls who wear them declare that
thev are angelic for keeping off the sun, whether
at the beach or merely touring around the coun
tryside Because they are handmade they are
nliant and supple and the brim blows with the
variant breezes without actually coming off.

The hats were purchased in the Virgin Islands
when recently several hundred Government
workers junketed down that way. Inc cruise
was sponsored by the Institute of Tourism OF
