HITLER WANTS
ALL OF LAND
LOST IN VAR
British Quarters Say Cham,
berlain Unwilling for
Full Restitution
POWERS REALIZING
SETTLEMENT NEEDED
By RICHARD D. MCMILLAN
United Press Staff Correspondent

LONDON, Oct. 81. (UP)--
Great Britain today anticipated an
early memorandum from Chancel-
lor Adolf Hitler on his colonial
demands as result of a speech
Saturday by the German colonial
affairs deputy outlining the broad
sweep of the Reich's restitution"
program.
A demand by colonial chief
Gen. Franz Ritter Won Epp, speak
ing at Ladeburg, Germany. for
return without exception OF all Of
the Reich's war-lost overseas pos
! sessions, was believed to mark a
new phase in Hitler's colonial pro-
gram. for which Great Britain is
preparing.
Won Epp's speech, asserting that
Germany was stripped of her col
onies by the Versailles Treaty
under false pretenses," caused
speculation that Hitler might be
ready to submit not only his for
nal demands but some suggested
method of settlement.
The visit to Rome of German
Foreign Minister Joachim Won
Ribbentrop. who conferred with
Premier Benito Mussolini and
Foreign Minister Count Galeazzo
Ciano, was believed to have
brought about an agreement re-
garding the line Of action which
will be followed by the Rome
Berlin axis on the question.
Italy has no colonial claims her.
SELF but Mussolinf fias.% publicly
supported Germany's demand for
"a place in the African SUM-"
British observers said that Won
Epp's demands against call of
those responsible for making res
titution" - meaning that Hitler
wants all Of the pre-war German
colonies totalling an area six times
larger than the Reich-would not
influence the present attitude OF
the mandatory powers.
These powers, it was explained,
recognize the need for a colonial
settlement but refuse to make
complete restitution.
Even the determination Of Brit
ish Prime Minister Neville Cham
berlain to wipe away all obstacles
standing in the path of Anglo
German friendship and achieve
general European arms pact could
not induce him to agree to return
of all the German colonies, it was
explained in Whitehall quarters.
In this connection, 1t had been
proposed unofficially that Belgium
light surrender some of her At
rican territory and that Portugal
might give to Germany portion
of Angola. Britain and France, in
return, might reimburse Belgium
and Portugal with other African
territory. Germany has unofficial
" rejected this scheme, however,
saying that she wants only what
illegally belongs to u.s."

Hitler has been represented as

mier Benito Mussolini was report
ed by diplomats last night to be
insisting upon an "intergrar" So
luton in Czechoslovakia's eastern
Ruthenia province before he joins
Germany in arbitrating tne ozech-
Hungarian territorial dispute.
II Duce was understood to have
outlined his firm stand at an hour-
long conference in Venice palace
Saturday with German Foreign
Minister Joachim Won Ribbentrop,
who returned to Berlin last night.
Mussolini's insistence regarding
Ruthenia, easternmost province
of Czechoslovakia, was interpret
ed as meaning that he still is
holding out for a common Polish
Hungarian frontier at the expense
of the Czechs. A foreign diplo-
matte source said that thus far

NEW YORK, Oct. 81. (UP)-
The Federal Communications COM

Hysteria following the Mercury

and New Jersey towns, where
Marian invaders were said to
have landed, killing thousands at
ter leaving a "space rocket"
Hysteria spread to the Pacific
coast where thousands of tele-
phone calls asked about the Gin

The play was a dramatization
of H. G. Wells novel, "The War

Residents OF New Jersey lieu
their homes, squad cars and am
balances roared through Newark,
and newspaper and press associa-

In the radio rendition the re-
port of a meteor falling near
Trenton, N. j., was made so real
istically that persons who tuned
in after the Introductory remarks
had been made believed the state
ment to be fact.
There was an immediate flood
of telephone calls to newspaper
offices, police stations and hospl-
tails.
A report spread through New
ark that the city was to be the
target of a "gas bomb attack"
Wild excitement prevailed there.
Police headquarters was notified
that there had been a serious "gas

There they found householders,
with possessions hastily bundled,

he said, explained that they were
physicians or nurses and wanted
to know if they could be OF SER

There was similar excitement in
other cities from coast to coast.
Tulsa, Okla, reported two heart
attacks and a stroke resulting
from the dramatization: Los An,

10000 POLISH
JEWS DUMPED
OVER BORDER
Strange People in Own
Homeland, Without
Jobs or Homes
By EDWARD w. BEATTIE

BERLIN, Oct. 31.--(UP)-The
German Gestapo (secret police)
announced last night that about
10000 Polish Jews, dumped
across the frontier into Poland
before the two countries agreed
to a truce in their passport con-
troversy, must find their own
means of returning to their homes
and families.
Many of these Poles, rushed to
the frontier by trainloads in the
Reich's mass deportation, were
penniless in "motherland" whose
language a large part of them
cannot speak and which is just as
anxious to get rid of them as was
Germany.
Seized from their families with
out warning in swift police raids
throughout the Reich, the major
ity of them last night were hous-
ed temporarily in old barracks in
virtual "no-man'sland" along
the Polish German frontier.
Poland, whose threat to re-
scind their citizenship resulted in
Germany's mass expulsion order,
refuses to let them proceed into
the interior and the Nazi Gestapo
told them that they must depend
on their own resources or Jewish
welfare organizations to reach the
Reich.
Thousands of other Poles,
mostly Jews, who were rounded
up for deportation as Germany
sought to beat the deadline of
Poland's citizenship invalidation
law, were being released and al
lowed to return to their homes
last night, the secret police said.
Cali Jews rounded up in the
past few days for deportation now
are being released throughout the
Reich" the Gestapo announced.
"Those who already have been
transported to- the border but
have not yet left Germany will be
transported back to their homes.
."The others must depend upon
Jewish organizations or on their
own resources for their return"
The seized Poles-supposedly
thousands of them since about
$4,000 were said to have been
liable to expulsion-were sent
home from barracks and other
concentration points throughout
the day.
In Austria, however, only a
few of the hundreds arrested
were released but it was under
stood that the delay was due
merely to technical reasons. 1t
had been estimated that 1000
Jews were under arrest in Vienna
alone.
The truce in the wholesale ex-
pulsions, which came at a time
when Poland was preparing 10
take reprisals against Germans
living on Polish soil, was only
temporary and the ultimate fate
of the $4,000 Polish citizens OF
Germany remained in doubt.
German agreed, after diplomat
ic exchanges, to suspend further
expulsions pending negotiations
which were resumed today.
Poland likewise agreed to can
eel orders understood to have
been given to several hundred
Germans, instrucing them to leave
Polish territory within "a hours.
