HITLER ENDORSES
CZECH GERMAN
BID FOR POWER
BY PIERRE J. HUSS

BERLIN, April Is QN.S).
Nazi Germany, fully indorsing the
autonomy demands of the Sude-
ten Germans, expects Czechoslo-
vakia to comply in every respect
before the year is out, this cor
respondent was informed in au-
thoritative quarters today.
The Czech government headed
by President Edourd Benes will be
given reasonable time to accept
the demands, it was said. But the
possibility was not ruled out that
Nazi patience may have a limit.
ENDORSES DEMANDS
The Reich unqualifiedly in
dorses and supports the eight auto
nomy demands put forward by
Konrad Henlein, leader of the
Czechoslovakian Nazis, at the
Sudeten party congress in Carls-
bad yesterday.
President Benes is expected to
enter into immediate negotiations
despite his governments initial
declaration it considers the de-
mands unacceptable" Before the
summer months are over, accord
ing to German expectations, Benes
will give the SudetenS q clear
answer to the following:
l. To what extent is the Czecho-
slovakian government ready to
meet the Sudeten demands?
2. BY what methods are the
ambitions of the $500, 900 Germans
in Czechoslovakia to be realized?
NEXT MOVE
Thus the Nazi government
takes the attitude that the next
move is up to Benes and the onus
of reaching satisfactory settle
ment placed upon his shoulders.
Naturally, President Benes is
expected to prolong diplomatic
manoeuvers as much as possible,
although a decision may be hast.
ened by clear indications from
Berlin that Germany's patience
cannot be expected to extend be
You'd the end of the year.
Some informed quarters believe
a domestic political struggle may
develop between Czech factions
over the issue which eventually
could force Benes to make large
concessions to the Sudentens OF
else resign.
Hitler is watching developments
across the border closely. In a
conference with his Foreign Minis
ter Joachim Won Ribbentrop or
Saturday the entire central Euro
pean problem was discussed in
detail and all indications are that
Germany views the outlook as
promising.

Ousted Chancellor
Of Austria MISSING
NGzi JGiLers Silent
Regarding Fate of
Schuschnigg
BY ALFRED TYRNAUER
Copyright, 1898. by International
NeWa SerYicaA

FAIRS, April 25.-Kurt SchuSch
nigg. last chancellor of indie.
pendent Austria, has disappeared.
Such was the information given
this correspondent by unimpeach-
able Austrian emigree sources
here today, and intensive investi-
cation failed to disclose his where
abouts.
GONE FROM CUSTODY"
All that could be learned was
that he apparently is no longer
at Belvedere Palace, where he has
been held in protective custody"
since Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler
marched into Austria on March IL
and took that ancient nation into
his greater Germany"
News of his disappearance re-
called recent reports that the
Nazis had decided to intern
Schuschnigg in a concentration
camp, probably the one at Dachau,
already overpopulated with thou
sands of political offenders"
Nazi authorities, however, re-
fused to throw any light upon his
disappearance. At the same time
it was learned that former Mayor
Schmitz, of Vienna, one of
Schuschnigg's closest supporters,
had dropped from sight.
HUNDREDS INTERNED
Inquiry elected the flat dec
Iaration that Schmitz, at least, as
not at Dachau. But it was
learned that hundreds of persons
arrested in Vienna in recent weeks
have been sent to that concentra-
ton camp, with former Catholic
and democratic politicians and
army officers among them.
The fate of Schuschnigg since
the Nazi conquest of Austria has
long been shrouded in mystery.
AS International News Service cor
respondent in Vienna, I was one
of the last to see Schuschnigg be-
fore armed blackShirtS of Hitler'S
picked guard took him from the
chancellery and locked him in
Belvedere Palace.
Since that time, of course, no
word has come from him.
ORIGINAL PLAN CHANGED
The original plans of Marshal
Hermann Wilhelm Goering, who,
as head of the Nazi police, deals
with political offenders, were to
place Schuschnigg on trial as a
traitor" The plan was to emu
late the example of Soviet Rus
STA by holding him up to public
scorn as one of the defendants in
a mass trial" during which his
sins against Naziism were to be
trumpeted to the world.
After due consideration, how
ever, the Nails decided such a step
might have the boomerang effect
of making him a martyr in the
public mind.
Then came intimations from
Berlin he was being taken to the
camp at Dachau,
but investigation only last week
showed he was still at Belvedere.
TAKEN FROM PALACE
In the meantime, however, &C
cording to word received here, ne
has been taken from the palace.
Whether he has been accorded
sanctuary in some neighboring
neutral state or condemned to
mental labor in the Dachau camp
remains a mystery.

seven thousand government
militiamen remained trapped in
the Teruel Mountains as the col
umns of General Miguel Amanda
sWarmed over the rough terrain.
CHOSEN FOR DUTY
General Arandas soldiers, all
Galicians. but supported by
Italians, were especially chosen for
mountain work, for they come
from a mountainous section and
are at home in the woods and on
the slopes.
The other struck southeast from
Teruel, down the dirt highway
leading to Segunto, small town
on the seaShore south of Castellon.
Thus. even should the northern
column be held back, the Teruel
army may be able to reach the sea
and trap the defenders Of Cas-
tellon.
Government reports from Bar
celona said the fronts remained
practically unchanged. Moral OF
the government troops is good,
according to Barcelona.
BORDER BOMBED
For the second time in less than
O week, international relations
were endangered when eight ma
tionalist bombing planes, made in
Germany, bombed the French
Spanish border town of Puigcerda.
Several civilians were killed.
Across the border in France
troops are lined up to prevent any
encroachments on French terri
tory as the nationalist army
presses up the Segre River towards
the international railroad at PUG

Back of the fighting lines a
cleanup of the so-called fifth

izers is gaining momentum. Eleven
persons today were sentenced to
death for high treason in Barcel-
ona; five faced death in Valencia
and three in Madrid on the same
charges.

TO BE INUNDATED

Approximately $4,000 acres and
$500 town lots have been purchased
or are under contract to date in the
upriver lands on Columbia river,
which will be flooded when the dam
is completed, F. A. Banks of the
bureau Of reclamation announced last
week. There are 10000 acres and
1000 town lots to be acquired by the
federal government.
A series of $40 transactions with
more than 1000 persons have been
made by the bureau officials. Most
Of the land has been purchased from
white persons. Only 200 or 800 acres
of the 10000 of Indian lands scat
tered along the river banks all the
way to the Canadian border have
been acquired.
Bureau engineers estimate from
1000 to 5000 persons will have to
move from the area to be innundared.

banks.
The 10 towns along the river Is
edge which will be eliminated are
Keller, Peach, Lincoln, Gerome, In.
chelium, Clifford, Daisy, Kettle Falls,
Marcus and Boyds.
The amount of money paid for tho
lands was not disclosed but bureau
officials said the price of each unit
was based on work of a board of ap-
praisers which combed the area from
1888 until 1886. Less than per
cent of the owners have refused the
government offer.
