CZECHS OFFER
ALL NEW PLAN
10 SUDETENS
So-Called 'Third Plan' Said
Somewhat Disappoint
ing to London
EXPRESS HOPE THAT
SOLUTION POSSIBLE
I'ltAlil'K, Sept. ii. (UP) The
govei nmcnt ia>t tiijrht announced
that it will present an entirely
new set of proposals in an el fort
to obtain a peaceful settlement of
the Sudeten German party's au
tonomy demands.
Tin* government's communique,;
issued after a four-hour meeting
of the inner council of the cab
inet under President Kduard Be
nes, revealed that Sudeten l.eader'
Konrad Henlein had rejected the
government's so - called "third 1
plan" offering to set up a system
<»f 23 "kupas" on the lines of the
Swiss Confederation of Cantons.
The communique expressed a !
fervent hope that the new propos
als would open the way for a so
lution of the Sudeten problem.
The new offer was described
as containing the government's
"final and definite proposal^*'
which will be submitted t<> the
Sudeten party leaders in the near
future.
"Unofficial conferences held by
President Penes with the Sudeten
party representatives in recent i
days had the same conciliatory
goal as our new proposals," the
communique said.
There was no indication as to
what the new offer contained but
it has been established that Great
Britain and France have brought,
heavy pressure on President Be- •
lies and Premier Milan Hodza for
further concessions to satisfy the
Sudetens.
The so-called "third plan," al
though it contained many sugges
tions made by Viscount Kunci
man, British neutral mediator "i
the minority dispute, had been de
scribed in London as "somewhat
disappointing."
r ranee, foreseeing; a uchoio«-i\
awl possible ccntrj.I European ex

understood to hp ready to ur^c
Prague, as a last resort to avert

Maybank Heard
To Defend City
Administration
Declares Laws Enforced,
Offenders Punished Dur
ing Official Tenure
(JHEENVILLE, S. C., Sept.
Mayor Murnett K. Maybank, of
Charleston, candidate for the;
Democratic gubernatorial nomina
tion in a run-off primary with
Wyndham Manning on September'
13, last night declared that he
laid no claim to making Charles- i
ton a perfect city, but that laws
had been enforced and offenders
punished during his administra
tion of the seaport city.
High man in the first primary,
Maybank spoke over a state ra-1
dio network in answering charges
of Manning, second man in the
first primary.
Maybank charged that his op
ponent would not have sent his
son to Charleston for his educa
tion if he really believed the
things he said about the city.
He further declared that he had
engaged in no mud-slinging dur
ing the first campaign, and stated
that he took the position that at
tacking an opponent would not
convince the people of the state
of his fitness for the office of
governor.
He recalled that the report of
a legislative committee on law en
forcement in the state publicly
stated that conditions were better
under his administration.

Home Fleet of 42 Ships To j
Be Joined by 10 More
Being Made Ready
LONDON, Sept. «!.—fUP) —
(ircat Britain's bulldogs, the dark
gray war ships of the home fleets,
steamed out into the English
Channel today to take uj) their
posts in the North Sea. their hat

and its nine lfi-inch trims to wasp
like destroyers and submarines,

from their home ports—Daven
port. Portsmouth, Chatham, Sheer

the east coast of Scotland and as
semble off Rosyth and Inverjjor
don. off the east coast of Scotland.
They will be joined there by 10
or more other ships, now being
rushed through the last stages of
refitting for a possible war. They
carry line ammunition instead of
the ordinary, ammunition.
Officially, they go to war games
—gunnery and torpedo practice,
aircraft attack and defense, night
maneuvers. P.ut they will be on
their home battlefield and they!
are to concentrate later in Scapa I
Flow, in the Orkney Islands, ac
tive duty rendezvous of the war

celling army leaves, calling up re
servists for the Maginot Line

England Hears
Nazi Army Chiefs
Urge Moderation
But Hitler Has Backing of
Politicians for Strong
Course of Action
LONDON, Sept. fi. (UP)—The
British ambassador to Berlin, Sir
Neville Henderson, has informed
the German government that it is
"mistaken" in believing that Bri
tain would refuse to go to war on
behalf of Czechoslovakia, it was
learned last night on excellent au
thority.
Britain's warning of her readi
ness to fijrht Germany in event a
Nazi invasion of Czechoslovak ter
ritory involved France in the con
flict was delivered by Henderson
to German Foreign Minister Joa
chim von Ribbentrop when they
conferred in Berlin three days
ago.
Sir Neville had just returned to
his Berlin post by plane from Lon
don, bearing the British cabinet's
plea to Fuehrer Adolf Hitler for a
German gesture of peace to avert
war in central Europe.
Ribbentrop, former German am
bassador to London, was said to
have told Henderson politely that
he did not believe the British gov
ernment would go to the extent of
fiirhtin<r for the Czechs.
Henderson's answer was quoted
as:
"Then you are mistaken."
Official information in London
was that Hitler, who made his
grand entry before 800,000 Nazi
stalwarts at the Nuremberg Party
Congress yesterday, has neither
accepted nor rejected the Prague
government's proposals for settle
ment of the Sudeten German mi
nority's autonomy demands.
Many British officials believed
that Hitler has not y<?t fully de
cided what his attitude will be in I
regard to Czechoslovakia.
Der Fuehrer was represented'
here as being torn between con-i
flicting advices.
Ribbentrop, Propaganda Minis-!
tor Paul Joseph Goebbels and
Henrich Himmler of the Gestapo
(secret police) were said to be i
urging him on to a strong course
of action while Field Marshal Her
man W. Goering, "deputy fuehr-)
er" and commander-in-chief of the
air force, was said to be aligned
with army leaders in cautioning a
policy of moderation.

60 Chileans Killed, 60 Are Wounded
In Revolt Attributed To Socialists
SANTIAGO, Chile, Sept. 6.— ,
(UP)—Sixty people were killed I
and fiO wounded in an unsuccess-!
ful uprising against the govern-1
ment.
Officials believed that national
socialists were attempting to pro- j
voke alarm and said that the re
volt had no connection with any
foreign government.
General Carlos Ibanes, former
j dictator, was arrested but denied
any connection with the revolt.
President Arthur Alesandri ask
ed power to declare a state of
siege throughout the country and
announced that the government
had successfully quelled the re

Among the dead was Pedro
Riquelme, university nazi leader. i
The movement was crushed
with the arrest of Ibanez and sev-1
eral of his supporters. Dynamite

REVELATION
Message to Nazis in Open
ing Congress Takes Form
of Proclamation

TO LIMIT AIR FORCES
NUREMBERG, Germany,
Sept. 6. (UP)—Adolph Hit
ler, while Europe waited for
him to strike the keynote of
his German policy toward
Czechoslovakia, defied the
world today to blockade
Germany as it did during the
World war.
He glorified the Greater
German reich. He rejoiced
in Germany's power and
friendship with Italy and Ja
pan. He saw a menace to
the world in Bolshevism and
the Jews.
He look the occasion to deny
reports that he sought a European
pact to limit aerial armaments hut
withheld the word for which the
world is waiting regarding his
policy toward Czechoslovakia.
Hitler's message to Nazis at the
formal opening of the annual par
ty congress was delivered as a
proclamation which was read hy
Adolph Wagner, Nazi leader for
Bavaria.
Hitler arrived herr yesterday
to take the center of a stag'' ar
restingly decorated for the world's
greatest political show—the sixth
and most important Nazi party
congress—as a world-wide audi
ence watched to see if the eicht
day spectacle would produce wai
or peace.
He was supported by a '-a^t of
nearly a million fanatical fol|ov.
ers who cheered wildly his pass
age frof station to hotel to city
hall.
The emotional pitch to which
Nazi pageantry has raised party
stalwarts from all parts of the
reich—and from Sudeten Ger
many in Czechoslovakia—attested
that the congress is moeting dur
ing the gravest diplomatic crisis
Europe has experienced sinco th»
worm war.
The setting is this medieval citv
just 60 miles west of Czechoslo
vakia. A part of the huge show
will be realistic sham battles by
gray-clad army divisions near the
Czech border, behind which pven»>
are shaping which may niakf the
Austrian Anschluss look like a
Sunday afternoon picnic.
