CZECH TROUBLE OVER SUDETANS
 NEAR SOLUTION
Minority Groups Given New Concessions British
 CT Will Mediate
(By Associated Press)

Two steps have been taken toward a settlement of Czechoslovakia' s troublesome minority problem in the publication of a new Minorities Statute and the appointment Of a British adviser as mediator.
 The new statute would grant three and a half million sudeten Germans new concessions with reference to school administration and Govern ment jobs, and the use of preferred languages.
 The new statute did not, however, deal with the question of autono- nous government It appeared def mite that final settlement of all problems entering into the dispute would not be reached until the ques- tion of autonomous government is cleared up.
 The appointment of Viscount Runciman, from LondoI as adviser in the dispute, was hailed in Ber- lin official circles as clear triumph for Germany.

Leaps to Death from I7th Story
 Of Hotel After Defying for 70
 Hours Entreaties Not to Do So

NEW YORK, July 27.-A horri- fled crowd saw John Ward, 26, un- employed instructor of society girls, plunge IT stories to his death early last evening, after refusing for 10 hours, pleading of police, firemen, relatives and friends, as he lounged on an 18-inch ledge outside of a hotel window debating the futility of life.
 More than 1000 policemen were unable to hold back the crowd.
 Hundreds fainted when Ward nonchalantly stepped off the ledge into space as cargo net was being hoisted up the hotel facade to catch him.
 A moan, audible for blocks, arose from the crowd as the body hurtled downward.
 Traffic on upper Fifth Avenue had been blocked for hours as Ward debated his plunge.
 He smoked three packages of cig- arettes debating his plunge and kept police and others from seizing him by saying: Go back inside or I'll jump"
 Ward accepted cigarettes, water, tea and sandwiches but kept out of reach
 Wards mother, living upstate in New York, long -distanced him through an extension telephone pushed to him on the ledge. He talked briefly and then hung up.
 Shortly after talking to his mother, he took the fatal leap.
