REFUGEE OUST|NG
DEN|EDBYCZECHS
Only Those Not Threatened
Are Returned to Reich,
Says Legation.
~ the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
Czechoslovakias overnment,
through its Legation here, denied yes
terday reports from Prague that Ger
man refugees from Sudetenland who
ned to Czechoslovakia proper to escape
Nazi persecution were in q desperate
plight because Of the Czech govern
ments refusal to allow them to remain.
The government said that only
those refugees who are not threat
ened with any danger whatsoever are
being returned to territory now oc-
cupied by Germany"
Nationality Not Decisive.
Nationality or race are not deciding
factors" the government stated in re-
ply to Legation inquiry which fol-
lowed press reports that two British
members of Parliament now in Prague
had reported many German refugees
were being threatened with expulsion
and possible torture and death at the
hands OF the Nazis
are IlOG DcIIlk
dissolved; the Freemasons are break
ing up voluntarily" the government
stated.
Earlier last week it was reported
from Prague. where news dispatches
now are censored. that the Czecho-
slovak premier had rejected a British
proposal to allow such refugees to re-
main two months pending organiza-
ton of international aid for them.
Move Under Way Here.
A move in this direction already is
under way here and in New York
Vladimir Hurban, Czech Minister, was
in New York yesterday conferring on
this matter in an effort to organize an
American committee to aid refugees
who have fled the lost territory.
The problem is reported to be very
acute, both politically and econom-
ical1y. inasmuch as the weakened
Czech government is anxious not to
offend Berlin through granting haven
to non-Nazi Germans.

many others equally pointed.
A second act dissertation by Mr..
Huston as ''Pieter Stuyvesant" on eco
nomic policy, which dealt with dou-
bling wages, raising prices and increas-
ing taxes. one of the most amusing
spots of the play because it has the
greatest currency, was apparently just
as funny to the President as to any
one else.
On Mr.. Huston's songs. he applauded
right up to the last handicap. and no
one was more enthusiastic than the
President over the dance which the
star does with the chorus-and with
his peg leg.
Mr.. Huston, visited in his dressing
room during intermission, had but one
question to ask
'How's the boss liking it?"
Reactions Watched.
The company, he said, was giving
an excellent performance, excited, but
not so much as it might have been had
it been able to see Mr.. Roosevelt. He
was in a rear box at the right of the
stage and the lighting prevented his
detection had any one on stage tried
to catch him out of the corner Of an
eye.
Mrs. Huston, acting as beautiful
spy for the company. sat in a box
across from Mr.. Roosevelt She ad-
mitted she watched his reactions
rather than the performance Of her
husband
The Illusions were guests of the
President at the White House after
the performance.

tonight only one accident. resulting in
damage to one bombardment airplane
but no injuries to personnel, was re-
corded.
In final statement tonight, Brig.
Gen. Arnold Krogstad. commanding
the Black air force, agreed that a
warming net manned by public-spir-
tied citizens constituted an important
service to defending anti-aircraft pur-
suit" He minimized the effectiveness
OF anti-aircraft defense, however. say
ing that properly trained bombers,
flying at high attitudes. "can be de-
tected, but seldom illuminated"
Blaekouts Minimized.
He admitted that aircraft at lower
medium attitudes ARE apt to be badly
treated by well-trained anti-aircraft
artillery, unless illumination can be
prevented by surprise, co-ordinated
attack. or by taking advantage Of the
suitable weather conditions of the
movement to celestial navigators"
General Krogstad said, ''Blackouts
present no insurmountable difficulties" +"
A partial blackout he characterized
as wasted efforts
He agreed that adequate national
defense requires CLOSE cooperation
between anti-aircraft and air force ele-
ments These exercises have brought
our related problems before the critical
audiences OF each others personnel
and our mutual problem Of national
defense will thereby be brought closer
to a satisfactory solution"
The warning net exercises closed
tonight with live bomb attack on
the dummy airdrome here by the
Langley field bombers Sand-filled
bombs carrying charges Of only four
pounds of black powder each were
dropped for safety reasons. All anti
aircraft and machine guns were re-
moved, but the searchlights remained
in position in a circle some IL miles
in diameter around the target. In
keeping with long standing War De-
partment policy, no report will be
made of the accuracy of the bombing,
although the positions Of each drop
will be carefully plotted for study.
A forest fire tonight drove one of
the searchlight crews from its position
and the aircraft warning net proved
its value in another respect by making
possible prompt reporting OF the blaze,
which soon was under control.

German Treatment of
Minority Peoples.
By the Associated Press.

BY the ASSoclRLed fTeSs.
Henry Monsky of Omaha. Nebr. in
ternational president Of B'Nai Birth,
Jewish fraternal organization, last
night denounced German oppression
of minority peoples and questioned
whether democracy could be preserved
'if We stand by and give silent
acquiescence"
The Jewish leader spoke with DA
John w. Studebaker, United States
commissioner Of education, in ra-
dio broadcast observing the Tooth
anniversary of the birth Of John Hay,
Secretary of State under Presidents
Mckinley and Theodore Roosevelt
Mr.. Monsky declared it would have
been difficult for Secretary Hay to
have reconciled Germany's interest in
the Sudeten minorities with Ger
many's brutality and long-continued
persecution and oppression of hum
dreds of thousands Of minority peo-
Piles in Germany and Austria"
Devastation Of Sacred Things.
ITO observe nuns and clerics OF
thousands languishing in prisons and
concentration camps; to observe the
devastation of all things sacred to
mankind, would have been to John
Hay an inconceivable tragedy" ne
added. Perhaps the spirit OF John
Hay will yet prevail"
Mr.. Monsky spoke from Washing
ton, introducing Commissioner Stude-
baker
In an address prepared for delivery
from Des Moines, Iowa, the commits
sioner of education said:
The statesmen OF the world should
give heed to the teachings of John
Hay. the great peacemaker. who
worked and hoped for the time when
all nations would settle their differ
ences peacefully in conference, and
not in blood on the battlefields OF
death"
$4,000 Telegrams Sent Here.
Jewish leaders who had been active
in Washington last week reported,
meantime, that more than $4,000 tele-
grams had been sent to the White
House and State Department urging
the Government to use its influence
toward keeping Palestine open to Jew
ish refugees.
The kilograms urged intercession
against the British governments re-
ported intention to halt Jewish immi-
grafton into Palestine because of trou
bles there between the Arabs and Jews.

targets will be sleeve types towed by

not authentic" They slow down the
towing airplanes by as much rs IS
per cent and make 1t impossible for
the airplane to maneuver The targets
therefore customarily cross the range

Radio Controlled Targets.
The Air Corps now is preparing small
radio-controlled airplanes which can
be controlled from the ground and
which will simulate quite closely the
maneuvers Of regular airplane. Such

the Use of gliders as targets These

airplanes and cut loose with their con-
trok set for spiraling or other ma
neuvers by release OF the towing
cable. By such means fairly realistic
gunnery exercise may be provided,
though at considerable expense.
Air Corps officers. oonstitutionally
disposed to regard with optimism their
chances Of avoiding anti-aircraft gun-
fire, are pretty unanimously OF the
opinion that the chief purpose Of the
air warning net will be to give pursuit
aviation warning in time to permit
interception of invading aircraft.
Officers of the Langley Field
fBlacks," in fact, regard the warning
net almost the last hope in the devel-
opment Of an accurate, efficient inter-
ception system, especially in the

AGREEMENT MADE
ON TOPSO|L USE
Vance And Warren Roads
Arranged For By Con-
tracts For New Work

Preparations are being completed
Tor the start of work on two road pro-
Jects of the State Highway & Public
Works Commission in this section, and
activities are expected to begin short
iy.
One of these is the stretch of road
extending from the vicinity of Aycock
school eastward to the Warren coun-
ty line, distance of 1886 miles. Con-
tract for grading, surfacing and struc-
lures has been awarded to Kiker &
Young, of Reidsville, for $34,158.
The other project is little over
three miles in the vicinity of Manson
and leading back toward the Vance
county line. J. M. Gregory, of Raleigh,
is the contractor for this job at a
figure of $27.758.
Contracts were awarded in both in
stances after agreements had been
reached with adjacent property own
ers for obtaining top soil, this to be
used in the grading of the roads.
The Manson project will be an i'm
prOvement of the present U. S. Route
/, which bears the brunt of traffic
which in volume is about as heavy as
any highway artery between the nOrCn
and the south. The project in the east
ern part of Vance county opens new
improved outlet to the east, connect
ing just beyond the county line with
the improved highway between War
renton and Louisburg, and will shor-
ten by some miles the distance be-
tween points east of Henderson and

of the State.
