Hitler Mut Dangles Peace Before During Self- Determination j of Sudetens Is Implied Alternative Patriotic - Ferv or Meets Words From Fuehrer at Congress NTTRNBERG. Germany. Sept 12.-(P)-Reichsfuehren Adolf Hit ler went' to the very brink of war tonight but was careful to arrest himself this side of the precipice. Tantalizingly, he kept dangling the possibility of a warless solu tion of the Sudeten German prob lem before Europe's statesmen. In a 7S-minute address before 25.000 : persons in the Nazi icon press hall, he closed the eight-day Nazi party-convention by produc ing "'self-determination for the Germanic minority as the implied alternative to forcible action against Czechoslovakia. S Demands Rights For Sudetens, "I assure the democracies that the fate of the Sudetens is not a matter of indifference to us' he declared. "If these harrassed peo ple feel they are without rights and aid they will .get both from us." - : I v In one respect, however, - the fuehrer sought to relieve th In ternationa situation: he held out an olive branch' to France.' Reasserting Germany's readi ness to let bygones be bygones, he again renounced all aspirations for revision of the Versailles trea ty with a view of regaining Alsace-Lorraine. "Strasbourg means much," he said, "but -we have surrendered It In the interests of peace to settle for once and for all the eternal strife with France." "On other frontiers too we have made sacrifices. We have acted more than loyally." r No Commitment " Is Made , While asserting positively that no German deserved, the name of German If be was not willing to risk his life on behalf of the peo ple of the same blood in Czecho slovakia, the 3,500,000 Sudeten Germans,' Hitler In no way com mitted himself on the method he intends to pursue to compel the , Prague government to give 'the minority the deal he Is determined they shall .get. . That deal, according to all that has happened in the past week in the party . congress, can be only - union with Germany of the region inhabited by the Sudeten Ger mans. "The responsibility for the next move now is up to Britain and Lord Runciman (unofficial Brt--"""lish mediator In Prague,)"-said one prominent official. i 'At any rate, after tonight, nobody can make Germany re- nrtnalhltk for what 1a tn tianrun Prtrnit &nd Ttndnn finld Eu rope's fate In their hands." "The Almighty did not create 3,500,000 Sudeten Germans to deliver them over to a hated " foreign -regime," Hitler thunder ied. "The-Almighty has not cre ated 7,000,000 Czechs to act as the guardians ot these Ger : mans." V" J ' Charges Millions Suppressed He charged that In the neigh boring republic "millions ot peo ple are being manhandled and suppressed.

Responsible authorities had cabinet; approval for declara tion of martial law in ; case of necessity, but the government wished to consider the matter thoroughly before taking the step. From some quarters came the opinion that Hitler's address con tributed nothing new politically to the present Czechoslovak-Sudeten German situation. One responsible government of ficial, pointing out Hitler's de mand for self-determination for the Sudetens, said this very Issue was. now being negotiated with the Germanic minority. The Czechoslovak government has no fundamental objection to self-determination by a people, he said, unless a small group deter mined a course in such a manner as to injure a larger group.

Proposal Put Up for Ballot County Court Formally Declares Its Design for Courthouse Order Outlines Manned new Building Will Be Financed The Marlon county court yester day formally declared its Inten tion to build a new courthouse, ordered a proposal to that effect placed on the November 8 elec tion ballot and outlined the way the project will be financed If approved. The court's order makes construction contingent upon the county's receiving a $266,000 PWA grant, such es was rescinded recently when the court refused to call a special election. Uelieves PWA Grant May lie Renewed Belief that the old grant might be renewed or a new one made by the PWA before election time was expressed by W II 1 i a m H Trindle, attorney who is advising the court on legal procedure. The order sets total cost of the new courthouse at $592,000, calls for use of preliminary plans drawn by Whitehouse & Church and Knighton & Howell, archi tects, and sets up the financing program as follows: 1. Calls for a tax levy not exceeding $65,000, or, approxi mately . 1.6 mills a year from 1939 to 1944, inclusive, as may be needed. Transfers General Fund Surplus 2. Transfers to a courthouse construction account $100,000 in surplus from the general fund. 3. Lends the building fund $150,000 in uncollected general fund taxes from the years 192 9 to 1936, Inclusive, to be repaid from the courthouse levies. 4. Provides for a vote to au thorize the county to exceed the 6 per cent budget limitation. With present " PWA require ments in mind, the court set "on or about December 31, 1938," as a starting time for the pro ject. Trindle said the wording was general enough to enable the court to build later should congress make ether grant funds available at the next session. " The first' of two hearings will be held by the court October 17. Yet to be drawn, the ballot measure will consolidate in one issue if possible authorization to build and to exceed the 6 per cent ' limitation. Instead of four separate proposals as presented and defeated at the special elec tion last fall. ; The order cbhtem plates Issu ance of tax anticipation warrants as a means of .securing Immedi ate funds for "construction.

Help came suddenly to avert -disaster. The man In the engine ', cab who may or may not have seen It all applied the brakes a scant 25 feet away.

He had gone into the state, during the turbulent campaign to endorse Lewis and to express favor for two proposed bridge projects in Maryland-. And late last week he had instructed ,' the- public works administration to expedite consideration of- the bridge "projects.
