WARRIOR NAILS
F. A. Ewbank, j., Tells
Kiwanis His Views On
German Situation

The worst feature Of the situa-
ton in Germany is that the peo-
pie have been led by propaganda
to believe that the Hitler regime
is capable of doing almost any
thing it wishes without precipitat-
ing war, Frank A. Ewbank, Jr.,
said yesterday in an address to
the Kiwanis club.
Mr.. Ewbank, who returned
home recently after years study
in the University of Freiberg, said
he formed the personal opinion
after careful observation that Hit
Ter, like Kaiser Wilhelm II, will
pursue his militaristic policies un-
til he leads his people into an
other European and, perhaps,
world war. The speaker was pre-
sented by Judge R. H. Station as
"a Hendersonville young man OF
whom we're all proud"
Fully ninety-nine per cent OF
the German people favor the Nazi
regime because Of q glorified pro-
paganda campaign which is always
in progress and because the eco
nomic conditions under which
they live are admittedly better
than those which existed follow
ing the World war;" Mr.. Ewbank

pew incident, in which a Sudeten

PRAGUE, May 27.-(UP)-
Czechoslovakia's frontier crisis
tbpiled with new complications
early today as the government
prepared to lodge representations
in Berlin against border "viola-
tions" in which patrolling Czech
army planes were said to have en-
countered German bombers over
Czech territory.
Circles close to the government
said that steps would. be taken to
seita +6esinaHy's attention to- the
incident involving the bombers.
The situation assumed deeper
gravity when Germany's official
news agency, Deutsches Nachrich-
ten Bureau, questioned the sim
cerity of the Czech allegations and
said they were designed to save
face with the western powers"
The German reply appeared to
refer to Germany's Wednesday
protest against "hostile" frontier
incidents involving Czech planes.
The German news agency sug-
gested that the Czechs drew up
their charges in order to have a
Counter claim"
An official announcement in
Prague said that 81 German
planes had crossed the border
since last Friday, once in military
formation, and that on one occa-
sion travelled a long distance in
land to circle over the large NUM-
tions plant at Pilsen.
The incident involving the Ger
man bombers occurred late Thurs
day, the government said, when
two heavy German planes with
the swastika emblem visible on
their wings appeared over the Be-
hemian town of Asch, home of
Sudeten minority leader Konrad
Henlein.
Czech military planes came out
to meet them, it was asserted, and
the bombers swerved and return
ed to German territory.
To reach the Pilsen munitions
planes-largest in Czechoslovakia
the German aviators were said
to have flown SO miles over Czech
territory from the heavily-guard-
ed frontier.
The German news agency said
the Czech charges were based
largely on confusion between the
military and passenger planes and
suggested that the Czech govern
ment draw up its list of alleged
violations" choosing dates sew
eral days back Gin order to make
examination of the charges more
difficult"
ut is hardly to be assumed that
the Czech authorities would hest
tate one day in exploiting real
German violations of the frontier
but would take diplomatic action
asking the whole world for help"
In one day, it was asserted, 16
German planes flew across the
frontier in formation flight. The
flight over Pilsen was said to have
occurred Wednesday.

Boys Fish With Bombs

Two boys who fiugred out how to
catch many fish with minimum of
effort caused a panic at Port Shep-
stone, South Africa, recently and
were whipped by order of the local
magistrate. They stole a quantity
Of gelignite and three boxes of det-
orators from a cement company
With the explosives, fuses and det-
orators they rugged up several
bombs and threw the lighted charges
into the Umzumkulwana River.
There were tremendous explosions
that hurled huge geysers of water
skyward. The river was strewn with
fish of all kinds and the boys, SWIM
ming about, collected a few basket
fuls. Port Shepstone thought it was
an earthquake. but Thomas Baldwin,
superintendent of the cement COM
pany. solved the mystery with the
aid of the police, and the boys were
arrested.
