Berlin, Oct. 5.-(AP)-A foreign
office spokesman said today that the

cession of the Sudetenland to Ger
many was confronted by new difficult
ties in delimitation of the fifth zone
Of occupation and the question of
PREPARATIONS for injustices inflicted by
the Czechs on the Sudetens since

AS the commission resumed its dis

Gated progress might be difficult
from this point on.
Hitherto, it was easy, as the four
zones (to be occupied by the German
army before October 81 were already
fixed at. Munich, and only certain
technical details remained" he said.
"The fifth zone will prove more diff
cult. Also, there is the question Of
PREPARATIONS for the iniustices in
flicted by the Czechs upon the Sude-
tens since 1915"
Previously an inspired source close
to the foreign office indicated sucn
separations would be demanded of
Czechoslovakia just as soon as the
Sudetenland was completely in Ger
man hands
To the Munich accord was attached
a map showing the first four zones
coded by Czechoslovakia for speedy
occupation by the German army. Oc-
cupation of the first has been COM
pleted or is under way. Occupation
of the fourth, to begin tomorrow, is
to be finished Friday. Then, the
accord said:
"The remaining territory of pre-
ponderantly German character will be
ascertained by the aforesaid interna-
tional commission forthwith and be
