LONDON. Jan. 7 (UP) Diplo
matic reports said today that a most
dangerous situation exists on the
Czechoslovak-Hungarian frontier as
the result of a clash at Munkacs, and
that a new explosion might occur at
any time.
Uumanla was reported to be so
worried at the possibility that she
would be drawn into a general fight,
that she was inclined to reconsider
her refusal to agree to a common
Hungarian-Polish frontier at Czecho
Slovakia's expense.

Observers of central European
events said that they were not sur
prised by the Munkacs incident. They
said the whole frontier between Hun
gary and eastern Czechoslovakia had
been a daliger area ever since the dis
memberraent agreements, that hatred
and suspicion were so intense that a
slash on a large scale might be ex

new members of
government was most anxious over
the situation first because Munkacs,
the chief point of tension, is only a
few miles from the Rumanian bor
der; second because it was feared
that the Munkacs clash might prove
the starting point for a serious cen
tral European conflict,' which it
might be impossible to localize.
The Rumanian government, which
firmly refused to agree to a common
Polish-Hungarian frontier when Col.
Josef Beck. Polish foreign minister,
visited King Carol in October, was
now believed to be prepared to re
consider, the dispatch said because
it was feared that an eventual inde-
pndent Ukraine would attract Ukrain
ian and Russian minorities in Ru
mania. Dispatches from Budapest and
Prague said that troops on both
isdes had withdrawn well within
their own territory in the Munkacs
area and that no new fighting had
been reported.
The hope seemed to be that the
Munkacs incident rould be settled by
direct diplomatic negotiation.

WASHINGTON, Jan. C (UP)
Colonel F. C Harrington, Works Pro
gress Administrator said today that
a cut in the new relief appropriation
to $o00,000,000 as urged by some con
gressmen would mean "verv drastic
reduction" in relief employment thi
spring.
Harrington testified before a house
appropriations subcommittee in con
nection with President Roosevelt's re
quest for $875,000,000 to continue
work relief for about 3,000,000 per
sons until the end of the fiscal year

lie said that WPA rolls dropped
from 3,112000 on Dec. 21 to 3,075,
000 on December 31, the last date
for which figures are available and
that the agency expects the reduction
to continue during the next six months
and beyond. He said this hope was
based on the "unmistakable business
pickup which we hope will continue
and the effect on the heavy industries
of the public works pump priming
program. Woodrum refused to com
ment further on the relief bill until
after WPA officials concluded their
testimony.
PIIILDELPHIA, Jan. 7 (UP)
A description by convict No. C-2945
of the weekend of torture in the super
heated "Klondike" punishment cell
block that was climaxed by the death
ot tour nunger-striking inmates of
Phildelphia county prison was before
the jury today at the trial of Deputy
V arden t rank A. Craven.
Craven is one of the prison officials
and guards charged with second-de
gree murder and manslaughter in con
nection with the "heat deaths."
The witness was Francis Gallagher
who spent 5S hours in the cellblock
during the fatal weekend, his testi
mony frequently caused the faces of
the five women jury members to
bleach.
"Sunday night it was the hottest
of all," said Gallagher. "When you
s.tood up, it felt like the heat was bear
ing down on you, crushing you. We
couldn't lay down good because there
was three of us in the cell, and if
we all laid down one of us had to
lay sideways.
"We took off our shorts and mopped
up the prespiration from the floor
and wiped our heads and bodies with
it and put drops on our tongues. We
could hardly stand up. We hollered
to the guards to shut off the heat.,
but nobody paid us no mind."
Previously, Sergeant James C. Hart
of the prison guard personnel testified
that the "heat treatment" was part
of the discipline used on unruly pris
oners. "Mr Craven in August, 1937, gave
me the authority to turn on the heat,"
Hart told the jury. "The heat was
part of the treatment."
Dr. Martin P. Crane, a coroner's
physician, described the contition of
the bodies of . the four men. The bod
ies had been subjected to such intense
heat that they were seared and one
of them looked like that of a negro
he said. Dr. Crane testified regarding
his autopsy on the body of Frank
Camodeca, for whose death Craven
specifically is on trial.
LINCOLN, Jan 7 (UP) State Ac
countant L. C. Opper, commenced an
audit today of the books and records
of Leo N. Swanson, former state land
commissioner and secretary of the
board of educational lands and funds.
State Auditor Ray C. Johnson, Op-
per's supervisor said separate audits
would be conducted. Both Swanson
and the board requested the examin
action which will require a week to
ten days. Swanson's post as land
commissioner was abolished Thursday
and he relinquished the secretaryship
Wednesday.

their advance on the Ebro river sec

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7 (UP)
Immigration officials revealed today
that 14,159 immigrant Jews entered
the United States from Germany and
Austria during the first nine months
of 193S.
The Jewish immigrants constitut
ed 79 per cent of the German-Austrian
total of 17,110 which sought
refuge on American shores from Jan
uary through September of last
yea r.
Immigration has mounted steadily
since Hitler's "Anschluss" of last
March. Although no figures were
available yet on the effect of the
Sudeten crisis nor the latest out
break of Anti-Semitism in Germany,
officials expressed belief that the
quota for each month had been fill
ed. State department officials reported
that visa numbers for entry from
Germany and Austria have been as
signed for more than a year ahead,
and thousands of refugees clamor for
iermission to enter this country.
But U. S. laws make no allowance
for refugees. The Austrian and Ger
man quota, combined after Hitler's
peaceful merger of the two countries,
totals 27,370 for the government's
fiscal year (from July 1 of one year
t: June 30 of the next). The Czecho
Slovak quota is 2.S74 for a fiscal
year.
Czechoslovak immigration for the
first nine months of 1938 before
the Sudeten crisis totalled 2,312
persons of whom 619 or approxi
mately 25 per cent were Jews.
During the fiscal year ending last
june JO, Germany did not fill her
quota, but this will not be true dur-
r.g the current fiscal year. In that
year, a total of 17,199 persons en
tered the United States from Ger
many, of whom 11,917 were Jews.
Friday evening the Townsend Old

Friday evening tne Platters really
found themselves in the contest with
the Hamburg, Iowa, quintet by an
nexing the contest 60 to 28 and in
which practically all of the Platter
squad were able to see action against
the visitors. Hayes was high scorer
with 24 points.
Coach Bion Hoffman at the open
ing of the game sent in his shock
troops against the visitors, Smith
and Jacobs, forwards, Hayes, center
and Tidball and Davis at the guard
posts and they played a very effec
tive game with excellent guarding
shown by Davis. Hayes broke the
ice for the game with a nifty shot
from beneath the basket and the
race was on. Rubey, guard, scored
for Hamburg for their only counter
in the first. Rebal, Reed and Wall
were then sent into the game to aid in
the scoring and ran the total to 7
to 2 for Plattsmouth as the quarter
ended.
The second quarter saw both teams
scoring more freely and with Hayes
at center continuing his attacks at
the basket and assisted by Jacobs
and Rebal with Bruce of Hamburg
accounting for a great deal of his
team's showing. The halftime score
showed the Plattsmouth team out in
front 25 to 14.
It was in the third stanza of the
struggle that the locals really started
to get warm and a general attack
on the basket participated in by Reed,
Hayes, Rebal, Jacobs and Ed Smith
served, to dim the hopes that might
have lingered with the visitors for
victory. Wall In a fine guard game
was a tower of strength in holding
down the visitors attack. At the
close of the third quarter the score
had mounted to 40 to 16 for the
locals.
In the final quarter of the game
Coach Hoffman had all of his play
ers in the contest, the first trm
massing a formidable lead and the
second team to close the contest and
effectively checking any dangerous
rally on the part of the Iowa team.
The locals were effective, in all, de
partments of the game and showed
real form in their play. Hamburg
divided their scoring well, Bruce
leading.
The game was enjoyed by a good
crowd and featured as a special en
tertainment between halves a tap
dancing exhibition given by Lois
Wolever, Donna Bee Seiver, Jeanne
Hudson and Shirley Burcham, with
Shirley Seiver as the accompanist.
The songs and dances were artis
tically staged and very much enjoyed
by the audience.
The Plattsmouth second team won
by 35 to 22 and in which the junior
Platters showed class and promise
of many good things next year when
they will represent the school on
the court. The basket shooting of
Favors, Yelick and White and the
fine and effective floor work of
Minor, Davis and Martin gave the
crowd plenty to enjoy.
The box score of the game was as
