Preacher To Speak
A mass meeting to urge the preser-
vation of the Czechoslovakian re-
public in the face of imminent world
conflict will be held at noon today on
the library steps as'part of a nation-
wide student demonstration. Sym-
pathy with the peace efforts of Presi-
dent Roosevelt will be expressed and
further action by the United States
to prevent partition urged.
Dr. Kenneth B. Miller, prominent
Czechoslovakian minister in Detroit,'
and Morris Lichtenstein, '39, who just
°'returned from Czechoslovakia, will
discuss the relation of that country
to the continuance of world peace.
The meeting is under the sponsorship
of a united committee including the
Progressiv.e Club, Michigan chapter
of the American Student Union, the
American Federation of Teachers and
the Liberal Student Union.
Three resolutions urging concrete
measures by our government during
the present crisis will be presented
by Robert Emerine, '39, chairman of
the meeting. These resolutions,
based on the peace program adopted
by the World Youth Congress this
summer, will be presented at similar
demonstrations n campusesathrough-
out the country They are as fol-
. lows:,
1. Immediate representations to the
German government not to violate
the Kellog-Briand Pact.
2. Declaration of sympathy with
Czechoslovakia coupled with facili-
tation of trade between ourtwo coun-
tries.
3. An immediate embargo on war
supplies to Germany. By the Treaty
of Peace between Germany and the
United States of August, 1921, which
is still In force, shipment of war ma-
terials to Germany is prohibited. Un-
der this treaty as late as 1934, the
United States government disap-
proved such shipments. We urge im-
mediate reapplication of the embargo
provisions of the 1921 treaty. We
urge that the National Munitions
Control Board shall immediately dis-
continue the issuance of licenses for
shipment of war supplies to Germany.
Pontiff Invites
World Prayer
To Avoid War
Pope Pius XI Broadcasts
International Message
From Private Library
CASTEIL GANDOLFO, Sept. 2.-
(I)-Pope Pius XI. invited the world's
faithful tonight to unite "in the most
undaunted and insistent prayer for
the preservation in justice, and in
charity of the peace."
The 81-year-old Pontiff spoke in a
pastoral message broadcast over an
intercontinental hook-up from his
private library in his summer palace
at Castel Gandolfo..
As he pleaded for prayer in a voice
which was weak and quivered to-
ward .the close, an anxious world
awaited the outcome of the momen-
tous four-power deliberations in Mu-
nch over the German-Czechoslovak
dispute.
He called for prayer to preserve
peace at a time when he said "mil-
lions of men are living in dread be-
cause of the imminent danger of war
and because of the threat of unex-'
ampled glaughter and ruin.."
"To this unarmed but invincible
power of prayer," he said, "let people
have recourse once yet again so that
God, in whose hands rest the des-
tinies of the world, may sustain espe-
cially in those who govern confidence
in the pacific ways of faithful nego-
tiations and of lasting agreements."
The Pope spoke for five minutes in
Italian, concluding with his benedic-
tion in .Latin.

Mob To Spur
Squad At Rally
With New Yell
A surprise in the cheering depart-
ment at tonight's pep rally has been
promised by Bob Canning, '39, head
cheer leader. Canning refused to di-
vulge the nature of the cheering pro-
gram, but promised that it would be
''something new."~
The program, which will start at
8:15 p. i., instead of at ?:45 p. i.,
as erroneously reported in yesterday's
Daily, features as principal speaker
Johnny Sabo, '24, of Gary, Ind., a
former varsity football player.
Sabo is former president of the
University of Michigan Club of Gary
and is chairman of the club's scholar-
ship committee, which has awarded
over $1,000 in scholarships. He is a
member of Sphinx and a former edi-
tor of Chimes, campus magazine now
defunct.
Frdderick Luebke, '39, president of
the Men's Council, is chairman of
the rally and will act as master of
ceremonies. He will introduce Head
Coach Herbert . "Fritz" Crisler, who
will address the group.
Captain Fred Janke of the Wolver-
ines may also be introduced, although
he probably will not speak. Phil Wood-
worth, '39, student manager of the
football team will be among the
speakers, Luebke said.
The Varsity Band will march into
ll Auditorium promptly at 8:45,
Luebke stated. Conducted by Prof.
William D. Revilli, the band will ap-
pear at full strength.
New York GOP
Selects Dewey
As Candidate
Adopts 19-Plank Platform
Pledging War Against
Crime And Underworld
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y., Sept.
29.-()-The Republican State Con-
vention of pivotal New York Aiomin-
ated Thomas E. Dewey, Manhattan's
36-year-old district attorney, for gov-
ernor by acclamation in a tumultous3
demonstration today.
The delegates adopted a 19-plank
platform which condemned "the al-
liance between the underworld and
certain forms of politics," manifest-
ing that the party, which has not
controlled the state government since
1922, expected to rely heavily upon
Dewey's record as a, rackets prose-
cutor.
.Relief Attacked
There also was a declaration that
"the use of federal relief money for
political purposes is a disgrace."
On labor, the convention said the
party was "determined to preserve,
the right of collective bargaining,"
adding that it favored "preserving to
employers and employes alike a gen-
uine opportunity for a fair hearing
before state administrative bodies."
It had been obvious for months that
Dewey could have the nomination if
he wanted it, the only earlier ques-
tion. having been whether he would
accept because of the fact that he be-e
came district attorney only a year
ago.
Hines Mentionedl
An important pending case in his
office is the retrial of Tamma iy Dis-I
trict Leader James .J. Hines on policy1
racket conspiracy charges, the firsta
case having ended early this month
in a mistrial.
In his speech accepting the nom-e
ination Dewey pledged a "state war"
on crime and declared for bettert
housing and working conditions iorI
labor. He said "restoration of pub-
lic confidence in the law and iitsf
officers" was a task of the "first im-
portance."

MUNICH, Sept. 30-(Friday--(P)-Great Britain, Germany, France
and Italy early today came to terms for preserving European peace and
giving Adolf Hitler the Sudeten regions of Czechoslovakia.
A fateful conference of the four big powers agreed Hitler's troops could
start marching into the ceded territories, fringing the Czechoslovak-German
frontier, tomorrow (Saturday)-the date Der Fuehrer had set as deadline
for fulfillment of his demands.
Prime Minister Chamberlain of Britain, Premier Daladier 'of Phance

Twister In South Carolina
Injures More Than 200;
Property Damage Grea.
CHARLESTON, S. C., Sept. 29-/P)
-A raging tornado dipped furiously
into Charleston early today, killing
at least 22 persons, injuring between
200 and 30, and damaging hundreds
of thousands of dollars worth of pro-'
pety.
Hours after the destructive twister
passed on, searchers dug into the
ruins of wrecked buildings, and it was
feared additional bodies would be re-"
covered. ,'
Hospitals listed 53 victims as seri-
ously. hurt, requiring confinement to
bed. Others were given first aid for
comparatively minor injuries and
were discharged.
The storm, which lasted scarcely
more than a minute, broke down pow-
er and communication facilities; and
blocked streets with uprooted trees,
poles and dangerous live wires,
Two companies of National Guards-
men were hastily mobilized to aid
civilian authorities in handling the
situation. They were .later augmented
by soldiers from nearby Fort Moultrie
and marines from the navy yard, in-
structed by President Roosevelt to
make their services available.
Bank Employes Foil

LONDON, Ont., Sept. 29-(IP)-Less
than 15 minutes after a man with a
toy gun had robbed the Royal Bank
of Canada at Thamesford, north-
east of here, today of $2,500 bank
employes captured a suspect follow-
ing a short chase which ended when
his automobile was forced from the
:oad.
The robber had ordered three em-
ployes into a vault but left without
locking it. They dashed out and pur-
sued a speeding automobile until they
day and night of fateful talks-the
destiny of millions hanging on their
words.
The official announcement said
evacuation of the Sudeten region
would begin Saturday and be com-
pleted ten days later.
Each of the Big Four are to "hold
themselves responsible" for execution
of the plan, the Communique de-
clared.
"Conditions governing the evacu-
ation will be laid down by an Inte-
n a t i o n a 1 Commission" including
Czechoslovak representatives as well
as of the four nations whose spokes-
men met in this Bavarian city.
Germany's occupation of the first
allotted region will start Oct. 1 with
successive areas marked off for grad-
ual cession to Hiler.
Daladier and Chamberlain, repre-
senting Europe's democracies at a
meeting with Hitler and Mussolini
when much of the world feared a new
world war was imminent, agreed that
While the news of the f#or-
power agreement was beling cele-
brated in London, Berlin, Paris
and Rome, late dispatches last
night indicated that news of the
settlement was greeted gloomily
in Prague, which has as yet voiced
no acceptance or rejection of the
plan, and suspiciously in Moscow,
which, however, declared Russia
would participate in any "Inter-
national Conference" for peace.
these designated territories should be
turned over to German troops suc-
cessively~on the days immediately fol-
lowing Oct. 1, the deadlines Hitler
had set fot satisfaction of his de-
mands.
The announcement said the cession
would be made without "any existing
installations having been destroyed"
in the area fringing Germany where
Czechoslovakia's principal fortifica-
tions are concentrated.
Territory German '
The communique termed the terri-
tories marked for immediate cession
to Hitler as "predominantly German."
In other disputed sections, where
Czechoslovaks and Germans reside,
plebiscites are to be held under the
same International Commission Ehat
[is to direct evacuation of the ceded
areas.
Fixing a date "not later than the
end of November" for the voting, the
Commission is to determine conditions
of the plebiscites.using the Saar pleb-
iscite as a pattern.
Another conference within three
months was decided on by the four
powers to consider the matters of
Hungarian and Polish minorities
within Czechoslovakia if some agree-
ment is not reached by the contend-
ing parties in the meantime.
Residents of the ceded areas were
granted the right by the four powers
to quit Sudetenland if they wish.
Commission Decides
Final determination of Czechoslo-
vakia's dwindling frontiers will be de-
cided by an International Commis-
sion.
Thus Europe, with millions of
troops under arms and its citizens
frantically preparing against the hor-
rors of war, were pulled back from
the abyss bya adramatically swift
congress of the four powers.
As recently as yesterday afternoon
Prime Minister Neville C'hamberlain
himself apparently had feared war
was imevitable. Then came an invi-
tation from Hitler, after urgings from
Japanese naval bombers were re-
ported to have invaded the province
