Hitler Has No Fear of War
As He Makes Unbelievable
Gains In Eastern Europe
Likely to Agree to Hungarian Occupation
Of Carpatho-Ukraine; Both Nations, Then
Ukraine Too, Easily Can Be Drawn Into Net
EDITOR'S NOTE:—Hitler has written another important chap-
ter in the history of world peace since Munich. The following dis-
patch tells how It fits Into the intricate European pattern.
By JOE ALEX MORRIS
United Press Foreign News Editor
Adolph Hitler has now risen to such heights of power that he is
able to revise the map of Central Europe on a scale unprecedented
since Versailles without causing even a whispered fear of world con-
flict.

I done it in the space of a few
I months and the two great Demo-

Feeble Gesture
The French government made
one feeble and meaningless ges-
I ture when it asked Hitler if his
intentions toward Carpatho-Uk-
raine were honorable. That ges-
ture. made because of French
military ties-with Poland and Ru-
mania, came only after the Fuehr-
er-had started on a triumphal en-
I try into his new protectorate.
The great financial centers of
the world were calm. The stock
market suffered hardly a ripple of
excitement while the Fuehrer re-
arranged the Central European
map to the extent that made the
Sudetenland seizure seem like an
odd-lot deal. In England, even
theSocialist opposition in the
House of Commons looked on in
comparative silence while Prime
Minister Neville Chamberlain fig-
uratively washed the government's
hands of a new power politics up-
heaval.
Contrast In Moves
i The contrast between the threat
of a European war that marked
the Sudetenland crisis and today's
international unconcern in the face
of still more sweeping develop-
ments is in the roots of the Mu-
and president this year of the
Texas Conference of College
Teachers of English, announced
today that the 1939 meeting of
that body will be April 29, at Sam
Houston State Teachers’ College.
Huntsville.
The conference will be devoted
to talks and discussion on "Teach-
ing Problems" and "Research Pa-
pers." Program committees on
these two divisions have been ap-
pointed by Dr. Smith as follows:
Teaching Problems: Dr. George
Evans, Sam Houston Teachers,
chairman; Dr. Thomas H. McNeal,
East Texas Teachers; and Dr. D.
L. Clark, University of Texas.
Research Papers: Dr. E. E.
Leisy, S. M. U., chairman; Dr.
Allan McKillop, Rice Institute;
and Dr. Allan Carter. Texas Tech.
The conference, organized in
1933 at the University of Texas,
has also met In Dallas and Den-
ton.?
Object of the conference, ac-
cording to President Smith, is “the
improvement of the teaching of
English (including American liter-
ature) in college classes and the
advancement of ‘research in litera-
ture and language."

Hitler long ago started a revo-
| lutlon that he could not stop even
I If he desired. The Nazi expansion
I had to keep on —or explode.
Almost automatically—in fact,
against Hitler's own desire to hold
I back for the time being—the revo-
lution seeped across the interna-
tional, frontiers of middle Europe
and eventually the Fuehrer had to
I strike or it would be too late. His
I blow shattering the remnants of
the Czechoslovak republic had sev-
eral purposes.
Gains Bohemia
I It cleared away stubborn inter-
ference which the Czechs had pro-
vided in Bohemia, which Bismarck
[ —Hitler's hero -- considered the
key to dominance of Europe.
How great is the danger of a
I conflict in Carpatho-Ukraine will
depend upon developments as Pol-
ish and Rumanian troops mass
along their own frontiers. It is
obvious that Hitler has every ex-
pectation of keeping the struggle
localized, that Britain and France
I will go to great lengths to avoid
being involved and that the Nazi
military might will prevail in the
end, barring the highly unlikely
development of a general con-
flict.
Ukraine Near
Most authoritative Nazi sources
left little question that Hitler had
agreed to Hungarian occupation
Oft Carpatho-Ukraine. By relin-
| quishing his objections to a com-
mon' Hungarian-Polish frontier,
Hiller might create good will in
these countries and in Rumania.
" Moreover, Nazi power has become
so great in Central Europe that
Hungary— and thus Carpatho-Uk-
raine—can be drawn into the Ger-
man net at almost any time -
The Nazis have, however, mov-
ed closer to the Ukraine by this
week’s gains—driving the Slovak
ian wedge of 14,000 square miles
deeply into the thin wall of neu-
tral •states dividing them from
Russian soil. The thread of hatred
against the Soviets that colored
Hitler’s preview of European his-
tory in "Mein Kampf" and that
has run like a red vein through
the pattern of peace since Munich
loses, hone of its vividness as the
I Czechoslovak republic dissolves
into dust.
Hitler can still write "to be con
tinued” at the end of the chapter.

them, one by one, “You know
what happens to little girls who
tell lies, don't you?”
Here are their answers:
First girl (aged 91: "Yes, they
go to—er, the burning fire."
Second girl. (aged 8): "Yes, sir.
They go to the burning fire."
Third girl (aged 7): "They go
to Hell.”
After long and hopeless fum-
ing and figuring to beat the
March 15 income tax deadline,

job over to his two-year-old
son, Charles Berman, of Brook-
lyn, N. Y., shown above at

to be somewhat taxed, too.
Aid Offered i
To Erring
Young Pupil I
Juvenile Officer R. E; Neely to-
day was receiving a deluge of
telephone calls about his 14-year-
old problem boy, who stole a
microscope set and chemicals be- ।
cause he wanted to study science.
One prominent public official
called Mr. Neely and requested
that no action be taken on the 1
boy’s case until he had a chance ]
to talk with the youth. Other in- 1
terested parties wanted to assist
the boy in his studies.
Meanwhile, Mr. Neely was talk-
ing with the boy’s school teach-
ers, relatives and ffeighbors.
"We want to help that boy
more than anything else,” he said. I
"If there is any possible way that
we can aid him further his am-
bitions in science, we’ll surely do
it."
One teacher said the boy would
stay at school day and night if j
they let him.
