This decision was taken even
while Czechoslovakia was fulfill

four powers represented at Mun

fighting men from the area of
Krumau, "zone No. 1," on the
southwest, before Germany's
Bteel-helmeted soldiers who began

In Egerland, westernmost; tip

that hot spot of Sudeten German
agitation in the days of the mi
nority dispute in the hands of a
hastily organized Sudeten local
government.
- Under the Munich accord the
Czechoslovaks were not obliged to
withdraw from that zone, largest
of those ceded to Adolf Hitler, un
til Wednesday.
The official communique j ex
plaining the cession of Teschen
said the cabinet after detailed de
liberations, was "constrained by
circumstances resulting from the
decision at Munich" to accept Po
land's ultimatum of September
30.
"The government took this
painful decision in full, accord
with responsible persons' of the

of the fact that any other deci
sion would have provoked new

(A Polish communique Issued

occupied by Polish troops by 2
p.m. (5 a.m. PST) Sunday and
that agreement was to be arrang
ed between Poland and Czechoslo
kia on details for a plebiscite and
transfer of additional territory by

It was not wise to speak in a
foreign language on the streets

had been "betrayed" by their for

Although the fall season of sil

ago in the lower Columbia river,
the migration past the dam: in
the week from September 19. had
been counted at only 129 fish.!
To questions of what has
happened to the run, some fisher
men guessed that the leisurely
migration of this species might
account for the seeming absence
of the salmon from spawning
grounds. Others in the past have
blamed the dam for obstructing
the runs. !
