CzECHS DECLARED
INCREASING ARMY
War Preparations Growing
AIarmingIy, German
Agency Says.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, Sept. l5.-DN.B., the
official Germany news agency, re-
ported today in a dispatch from Neu-
gersdorf, Saxony, near the Czechoslo-
yak border. that war preparations in
Northern Czechoslovakia were alarm
ingly on the increase.
The dispatch said the Czechoslovak
state police and gendarmerie had been
greatly augmented and that additional
classes OF army reserves had been
called to the colors.
The population of the northern bor-
der regions, D.N.B. declared, was in q
panic.
TN Prague government authori-
ties, replying to questions concern
ing troop movements along the
frontier, said there was no excep-
tional military activity
Henlein Demand Played Up.
The proclamation of Konrad Hem
lein. Sudeten German leader, de-
mandlng annexation of the Sudeten
regions by Germany, received greater
prominence in the German press to.
day than even the visit of Prime
Minister Chamberlain to Berchtes-
gaden. Headlines much larger than
usual proclaimed Henleins demand.
Foreign diplomats did not hesitate
the express belief that the proclama-
ton was carefully timed to confront
Mr. Chamberlain at Berchtesgaden
with new situation.
Some foreign observers saw in the
demand for annexation without even
the tormality of a plebiscite a clever
move by Henlein to save Mr.. Cham
berlain from embarrassment. These
observers said that plebiscite, in
spite OF its ostensbly democratic
aspect. would raise the question of a
dangerous precedent.
Dangers of Plebiscite.
If a plebiscite were applied to the
Sudeten issue in Ccechoslovakia, they
asked what would prevent Chancellor
Hitler from demanding plebiscites on
European territories lost to Germany
as result of the World War. such as
the Polish Corridor North Schlewig,
which went to Denmark Eupen-
Malmedy, now Belgian. and the South
Tyrol, now Italian?
Beyond that, anxious diplomats
here asked, might not German prop
aganda in Germany's war-lost over
seas colonies precede demands for
plebiscites for African Negroes on q
possible return to Germany.

might be bought by the Pritish Premier
at the expense Of more sacrifices on
the part Of Czechoslovakia.
Among the Czech population and
in government circles there appeared
the stiffest opposition to any conces-
sion which would affect national Sc
curity.
The army especially insisted that
the borders remain where they are,
that the Sudeten Mountains and the
long semicircle of German border
fortresses that they concealed remain
the outer defenses of the republic.
The Czechs recalled that their noun
tain salient often has been called a
fortress built by God" and military
authorities pointed out that the pres
nt natural frontier-the same as the
borders of the ancient Bohemian king
dom-WaS the most feasible for de-
fense against any aggression from the
west Germany.
The last obstacle to a German
thrust to the east" military experts
called the Sudeten range.
Once an invader is past the
mountains it is just goosestep to
the Black Sea-" said one officer.
The government also opposed with
determination another concession-a
plebiscite in the Sudeten region TO
allow the Germanic population to vote
on secession to Germany.

FRENCH PUT HOPE
IN CHAMBERLAIN
Indicate Premier DaIadier
Took Initiative in
Dramatic Step.
By the Associated Press.

PARIS, Sept. 15.-The French gov
ernment placed its hopes Of peace today
on the efforts Of Premier Chamberlain
OF Britain to solve the Czechoslovak
crisis by his personal talk with Adolf
Hitler.
Although the French indicated Pre-
mier Daladier had taken the initiative
in urging Mr.. Chamberlain into the
extraordinary step, sources close to the
foreign ONCE said they had little idea
what turn the interview might take.
These sources said only that the
question Of a plebiscite for the Sudeten
Germans of Czechoslovakia had been
excluded.
This point Of view was made known
late last night, and contradicted q
growing belief in diplomatic quarters
yesterday that France was ready to
support such plainly which the
Sudetens could vote to be annexed
by Germany.
Courage Is Praised.
While French commentators were
unanimous in praising the courage"
OF the British premier's move, they
were divided on the chances Of his per-
suading Hitler not to use fsrce to
gain the Sudeten demands, which now
center on their right of "self-determi-
nation"
The majority. however considered
the mere fact that Hitler had agreed
SO quickly to see Mr.. Chamberlain
was happy sign, which might mean
an eventual peaceful settlement.
Others were unable to see what such
a settlement could be, except the
granting Of Sudeten demands-de-
scribed by one as giving Hitler q VIC
tory without forcing him to fight for it.
The main hope Of peace, according
to Official governmental circles,
rested in the feeling that until now
Hitler had believed-or been permitted
by his advisers to believe-that France
and Britain would not fight Mr..
Chamberlain's visit was said to be de-
signed primarily to change that i'm
preston.
No one In France. except a few
trusted advisers to the government,
had any idea OF Mr.. Chamberlain's
and M. Daladier's plans until the Ger
man official radio announcement was
made.
News Hawkers Mobbed,
AS soon as extra editions OF news
papers appeared, news hawkers lit
orally were mobbed by the excited
evening crowd.

peace had been decided on. the govern

stepped bounds of the criminal statutes
in expelling group health physicians
and restricting the free practice of
medicine.
The Department of Justice has made
no announcement with respect to
broadening of the inquiry. It's only
public statements have been in con-
nection with the proposed investiga-
ton Of the District Medical Society.
In the first of these statements AS
sistant Attorney General Arnold ex-
pressed the opinion the local society
has violated the antitrust laws bv
"coercing' staff doctors OF Group
Health Association, Inc, and declared
the facts would be presented to a
grand jury. In later pronouncement
Mr.. Arnold notified the District Medi-
cal Society that the Department of
Justice expects the society to dis
continue coercing qualified persons in
the practice of their profession.
Controversies similar to that between
the District Medical Society and
Group Health Association, Inc, have
occurred in California, Wisconsin and
other States.
In Los Angeles two physicians of q
group medical practice clinic, spon-
sored by the Los Angeles Bureau of
Water and Power were expelled by the
Los Angeles County Medical Associa-
ton, with the approval of the Cali
fornia State Medical Society. An ap-
peal to the council of the American
Medical Association, however, resulted
IN reinstatement of the physicians.
Milwaukee Center Under Fire.
In Milwaukee the fight has revolyed
around the Milwaukee Medical Center
organized for employees of the Inter-
national Harvester Co. The local So
clety expelled several physicians of
tne center for alleged violation Of rules
OF the society and this time the coun.
Gil OF the American Medical Associa-
tion sustained the society's action.
The dispute in Washington reached
an acute stage with the expulsion from
the District Medical Society of DR..
Mario Scandifflo, pediatrician of
Group Health Association, Inc. and
denial of courtesy privileges" in local
hospitals to staff doctors of the Group
Health Association.
In the meantime three prominent
members of the District Medical So
clety-Drs. Sterling Rufiin, Prentiss

filed suit in District Court to restrain

For weeks there have been rumorv
that he no longer retained his pivotal

vigorously, pointing out that only
recently he returned from an inspec-

To this unofhcial sources which
heretofore usually have been right
reply that it is true that Beck Is not
completely out Of the army, but that
in order to avoid a public break he
has accepted an appointment "on a

FRANCO PUSHES
TERUEL ATTACK
BUT FOES HOLD

ST. JEAN DE LUZ, France, Jan.
10 QN.SO.-Still fighting bitterly
for control of their strategic Sa-
lent, insurgent Spanish troops
today fiercely attacked at both
ends of the Teruel front.
Including many Americans, the
Thirteenth and Fifteenth loyaliSt
international brigadeS suffered
severely in a battle northwest of
Teruel, which resulted in recap
ture of Celadas by the insurrectoS,
according to rebel reports here.
The victors took $50 prisoners.
The insurgents also attacked Mt
Muela de Teruel, five miles south
west Of the loyaliSt-held city, but
dispatches from Barcelona said
they were beaten back.
Although the insurgents who
held out for 18 days in buildings
in Teruel have surrendered and
their rescue is now impossible, the
forces of Generalissimo Francisco
Franco continued their battle for
two reasons:
Vengeance, and because Teruel
is still the vital spearhead, in the
attempt to cut loyalist Spain in
two parts.
