Hitler Failed Them,
Henlein Fled and SUI
detens Are Becoming
Dismayed

Asch, Czechoslovkaia, Sept. IT,
(AP)-Most people on both sides of
this strategic German-C zechoslovak
frontier have reached the conclusion
that there will not be war now over
the Sudeten German dispute They
may be badly informed, but that is
what~they say they believe.
Less than d week ago these people,
who would be caught in the center of
a conflict between Germany and
Czechoslovakia, thought otherwise.
Generally, tension has decreased. The
now leaderless Sudetens were SO GER
tain that Adolf Hitler was going to
enter Czechoslovakia as he did Aus
tria that they caused suspicious dis
orders to bring down upon themsel-
yes the army with armored tanks.
But Hitler hesitated. Their leader,
Konrad Henlein, fled. So dismay Is
spreading through the ranks of most
ardent advocates of union with Ger
many.
A large majority OF the Sudetens in
this area wanted annexation by Ger
many. There are some who wanted
merely autonomy within the Czecho-
slovak state.
Along with this weeks exodus to-
ward Germany, there had been an
other exodus also of Sudetens toward
Prague. They were Of about equal
size.

Earlier today Deputy Sudeten
Leader Ernst Kundt, in Prague, in
an appeal of opposite tone, asked
Sudeten Germans to have patience
during the Czech-German. crisis and
await the outcome of negotiations be-
tween Prime Minister Chamberlain
and Adolf Hitler.l
~ The Henlein proclamation read
"Sudeten Germans:
September 10, 1888, Sudeten Ger
mandom was summoned by Konrad
Henlein to form the Sudeten German
home front with the honest intention
to safeguard essential rights of Ger
mandom in the Czech state through
equitable compromise with the Czech
people"
For five years, Sudeten German
dom gave proof of this intention.
To-day it is necessary to state that
all efforts to find this compromise
in peaceful labor have failed on &C
count of the Czech tyrants' uncon-
ciliatory will to destruction"

Raleigh, Sept. 17.-In the not-too-
distant future mail trucks, regular
post offices on wheels, will be run

North Carolina, Stanley WiElGrne.
utility commissioner, predicts.
The advent of these motorized
postal vehicles will soon be forced by
abandonment of so many branch rail-
road lines, he believes. The Fedora!
Post Office Department will be prac-
tically compelled to start this sort Of
thing in order to prevent mail deliv-
cry from going back to the days OF
about 1860 and the pony express.
Commissioner Winborne says that
in practically every instance where
there is community opposition to
abandonment of rail passenger SER
vice, the chief argument of the oppo-
sition is that taking off the train will
cripple mail service.
The Washington authorities have
assured the Utility Commission, Win
borne says, that the Post Office De-
partment will see to it that postal SER
vice does not take a step backward.
