 VICTORY INDICATED
Deliberations Over Details Being Worked Out at
 Meeting Tonight

MUNICH, Sept. 29.-A German government spokesman said tonight that the four-power conference seeking a new basis for European peace practically had reached an agreement for token occupation of Sudetenland by the German army.
 German circles indicated that Hitler had agreed that only small detachments of his army should march into Eger and Asch regions in western Czechoslovakia Satur- day and Sunday. This would sym- belize his victory.
 The occupation will be extended gradually, the Germans said, even- tually passing all Sudetenlarld under German sovereignty. This is to be accomplished by October 10.
 The German Chancellor and the Premiers of Great Britain, Italy and France went to dinner at 8:30 tonight and it was said they ex- pected to resume talks about 10 pm. with hopes that their barley, on which hangs the question of life and death of millions, would be finished tonight.
 In London the Czechosloyakia legation announced new conces- sions by Prague, including an offer to evacuate by October 31, the re- gions whose population are more than half Germanic, and to liquid ate the entire question by Decem- Der IS.
 But Prague also demanded before evacuation that new frontiers in the Czech republic must definitely be fixed.

 A welter of wreckage is spotted throughout the city.
 The tornado did not last more than two minutes and was paced by a torrential downpour as it swept devastation and destruction in vari- ous parts of the city.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29. = The pathetic thing about this Czechoslo- vakia business is that if the Nazis move in on Sudeten Germany 1t won't solve the difficulty or end the trouble.
 That is the estimate of competent authorities on European affairs here, and is the view of historians, too
 For more than a thousand years the Sudeten mountains have been the barrier separating eastward moving Germans and westward moving Slavs. At that point the two races have ground together like huge millstones, fighting, trad ing, marrying and fighting again. Most Czechs have touch of Teu- tonic blood and most Sudeten Germans a trace of Slav.
 This ring of mountains separates Germany and Austria from that end of Czechoslovakia which juts deeply into Germany like a thick peninsula. Like the rugged Pyr- enees between France and Spain,
