Lindbergh, silent on bitter charges made against him by a group of prominent Soviet Russian aviators, arrived today by plane to attend the annual meeting of the Lilienthal So- ciety for Aerial Research. The American Airman declined to comment on the Soviet fliers' accusa- tion that he belittled the Russian air- force and thus encouraged Anglo- French capitulation to Adolf Hitler's demands for Czechoslovak territory.

Czech Border Is Violated By' Magyar Force Sudetenland Problems Are Wrestled By Prague's Governmental Staff PRAGUE, Oct. 11-(A)-Hungarianj troops today completed symbolic oc- cupations of two former Czechoslo- vak border towns-Ipolysag and Sa- toralja Uphely-pending settlement of Hungary's territorial and minority demands. The Prague government, mean- while, wrestled with problems arising for German occupation of Sudeten- land, particularly the presence in. Czechoslovakia of 10,000 refugees from Sudetenland. The Bohemian Provincial Govern- ment appointed a committee of 10 former residents of Sudetenland to investigate registration lists and de- termine which refugees could be sent back home without personal danger. The registration of refugees pro-' ceeded under the orders of Bohemian Provincial President Karl Sabotka while the National Government's. plans for return of many refugees were held in abeyance. More than 4,000 residents of Ipoly- sag, near the border 50 miles north of Budapest, sang and danced to fiery Hungarian music as the Hun- garian tropps took over at 1:20 p.m. today. Offer By CIO Chieftain Rouses Anger Of AFL President And Leaders UAW Head Speaks With Harry Bennett (By Associated Press) John L. Lewis dramatically offered yesterday to step down from the chairmanship of the CIO-provided his arch enemy, William Green, would resign from the AFL presidency. But hopes for peace between labor's struggling factions disappeared when Green angrily answered "It is obvious that even if Lewis resigned as CIO chairman he would still remain its dictator." Meanwhile, beliefs that another chapter in the battle between indus- try and labor would reach a happier end were aroused when Henry Ford briefly conferred with UAW-Pres- dent Homer Martin. The Lewis offer, made today at a press conference, seemed to have in- creased the bitterness which A. F. of L. leaders feel toward him. "I doubt his sincerity," was the terse comment of Arthur 0. Whar- ton, an A. F. L. vice president. Whitney Sees Peace However, A. F. Whitney, who, as president of the Independent Broth- erhood of Railroad Trainmen, i* a non-combatant in labor's civil war, predicted the war would end within a year because the "interest of labor and the public" demand it. In connection with Lewis' state- ment, it was recalled here that he is President of the United Mine Workers, a powerful union in the CIO. Even if he resigned from the Chairmanship of the CIO, he might still have great influence in it through his miners union If there was anything of a "tongue- in-cheek" nature about his offer, I was not apparent, however, in hIs manner when he made it to news- men he had called to his office. Green, whose future as ead of the Federation rests with the organiza- tion's 5,000,000 members when as an unopposed candidate, he goes up for re-election Friday, termed Lewis' of- fer "an attempted fraud on the pub- lic." "The Chairman of the C.I.O. as everyone knows, is the dictator of the C.I.O. He has not once even con- sulted the membership of the C.I.O. during his regime. Offers To Resign "Now he offers to resign if I will. "Well, the World Series is over, but the chairman of the C.I.O. is still making grandstand plays. To anyone familiar with the labor situation, it is obvious that even if he resigned as Chairman of the C.I.O. he would still remain its dictator behind the scenes. Because he would remain as President and dictator of the United Mine Workers of America, the union which is the financial angel of the C.LO. and whose funds are being wan- tonly wasted in a vain effort to keep the C.O. alive." Labor problems were not discussed, when Ford and Martin met, but af- terwards Martin lunched and talked with Harry Bennett, Ford personnel director, about the Union's attempt to obtain a 32-hour work week in the automotive industry during periods of re-employment. At the same time other leaders of the United Automobile Workers were discussing the shortened week with officials of the industry's "big three." No conclusions were reached in any of the conversations. Controversy Over Pulchritude Rages On Main Library Steps Three times a week Morton L. Linder and Harry L. Sonneborn will present this cross-section of campus opinion on topics of general interest. Persons ques- tioned are chosen at random by the reporters. THE QUESTION: What is your comment on the egend, "Four out of five women are beautiful, and the fifth one comes to Mithigan?" THE PLACE: Steps of the Main Library. The Answers: Dorothy Primeau, '40: "I don't think it's true. There are lots of good- looking girls on this campus, just gobs of them. The main reason people say things like t h a t about the girls is probably that every one has a different opinion of what good looks are. The main thing that makes a few of the girls so popular here is the clothes they wear. There are a lot of others just as good-looking who don't have the clothes." An Unidentified Canine: "Woof?!" (Ed. Note. The dog, obviously soured on all females, was not pressed for an additional s t a t e- ment. It was felt by the reporters that because of his bias, whatever else , he might have to, say on the subject would be prejudiced and thus not suit- able for this col- , umn. Then, too, we were not sure that he was a student. Besides, we were not sure he was a he.) W. R. Willis, '39: "The statement, I believe, is probably true in four out of five cases. I have been here quite some time and have managed to find only a few beautiful women. Of course, the Summer Ses- sion is excepted." James T.
