PRAGUE, June 73.-The Csecho-
slovak government yesterday seized
more than 270, 1000 farms and COR
porations in the possession OF Ger
mans, Hungarians and traitors and
Nazi collaborationists."
The farms, occupied mainly by
Germans in the Sudeten area, are
estimated to embrace 6,240, 1000 acres.
The confiscation is expected to in
volve 100000 OF the country's
population.
Signed by President Eduard Benes
and all members Of the government,
the decree was the first step In
eliminating influences which led to
betrayal Of the nation in 1888.
Thousands Face Expulsion.
Some circles said they believed
the next step would be the expulsion
of hundreds of thousands OF Hun
garians, Germans and Czechoslovak
traitors, possibly = total OF $500, 900.
Acting Foreign Minister Clement,
declaring that millions" would be
expelled, said recently that ION the
side Of our great ally, the Soviet
Union, We found complete approval
of the measures we have decided
upon.
I'VE have already informed the
governments of Britain, America
and France" he added. and we
believe that in them also we shall
find understanding"
The contemplated expulSions met
with public approval, like the con-
fiscation decree.
1918 Census Deciding Factor.
The order stated the farm and
corporate properties Of Germans and
Hungarians were affected without
regard to their present citizenship.
The test will be whether they de-
clared themselves to be German or
Hungarian in the 1929 census.
Numerous Czechs and persons of
other nationalities are covered by a
stipulation that the properties of
traitors and collAborationists also
are to be confiscated.
The order stated there would be
no compensation for the properties,
which pass to the Czech state.
Personal property is not affected
by the decree, which covers farm
and forest lands and the equipment
and livestock of farms.
There will be a ceremonial seizure
tomorrow of the farm properties Of
three conspicuous Czechs who were
caught by the decree. They are Ru-
dolf Beran, former prime minister;
F. Machnik, former defense minis
ter. and Adolf Hruby, former agri-
culture minister.

German prisoners Of war working on
Eastern Shore farms are receiving
insufficient food, Col. Eugene ].
Fitzgerald says the caloric content
of their meals Is within 800 points
of the daily maximum set by War
Department directive.
Col. Fitzgerald, commanding off,
Ger Of Camp Somerset, the Eastern
Shore base prisoner Of war camp.
asserted, "The Importance Of keeping
the prisoners In At condition to ID
10 full days work with maximum
efficiency and health and thus fur
nish the required mAnpower is fully
appreciated by Army authorities"
The charges that prisoners ARE
being Systematically starved to
death" was made to members Of
Maryland's congressional delegation
by Associate Editor Jack Culver and
Reporter Bettine Goodall Of the
Democratic Messenger, Snow Hill
weekly newspaper.
Their telegram to Senators Tyd-
ings and Radcliffe and Representa-
tive Roe, Democrats, said that At
one noon meal they were given
three slices Of plain bread and 4 cup
of coffee"
Concerning this specific meal, Col.
Fitzgerald said
For the men working on details
away from the camp, who are pro-
vided with box lunches, there were
furnished three frankfurter sand
wtches. This may account for the
report that one group of men had
only three slices Of Dread, since 1t is
not infrequent for the prisoners Of
war to eat the frankfurters first and
then consume the bread"
He said the Army had established
a range of $500 to 800 calories for
daily meals OF prisoners, depending
on the type of work they were per-
forming, and that those at the Ber-
lin, Nd, branch camp from which
workers in the Snow Hill area were
assigned, were receiving approxi-
mAtely 3,400 per day.
"As a matter of fact" he contin-
ued "a study as to the situation in
Maryland has been under way for
the past two weeks looking to ad-
justments where needed"
