Horse Swims Golden Gate
(UP) - an   un-
San Francisco, Oct, 1. Blackie, a horse wMth common liking for water, swam across the Golden Gate channel today in 23 minutes ],' seconds, only two minutes slower than the  human  record.
It was the first feat of Its kind since the early Spanish settlers "commuted" across .San Francisco Bay by using the tails of swimming horses for towlines,
Blackie, trained to a fine edge, was lowered intn the channel at Lime Point on the marine side   of   the   Golden   Gate.
Through the rough waters of the Golden Gate "Potato Patch," acro.ss the steamer lines of the world famed entrance to San Francisco Bay, Blackie struck out with strong strides and headed directly for Cris,sey Field on the San Francisco shore   of   the   channel.
He reached the goal without faltering and appeared scarcely winded from the twn and one- half   mile   grind.

With German Army Tusset, Oct, 1. (UPl labor army for economic tation of the Sudetenland moved across the Czech frontier tonight in  the wake of Nazi troops.
The cheers of ragged natives for the "rescuing" military had hardly died oul before the Reich began "talking over" in an economic way. Another army came-the Labor Service Corps with field kitchens, supply trains and other equipment.
Repair   Damage
Their firsl task was to level off a rocky road in lliis mountainous district and repair a jagged scar on the hillside where the Germans were forced to dynamite a Czech tank barrier formed of railroad ties   embedded  deeply   in   concrete.
The German troops — probably about 30,000 strong- took over the first area on the BavariBn-Austrian border this afternoon. An official announcement said the second area, nn the nnrthern Czech bnrder, will be taken over starting at 1 p. m. Sunday.
Rain and fog hung over the Sudelic Mountains as the occupa¬ tion began, but the peasants warm- I.V welcomed Germany's untried army, and they looked with hope at the Labor Service Corps which followed.
First Train Arrive*
Two hours after entry of the troops, the first German railroai train puffed along a litlle single track line which had seen almost no traflic in recent months. There was only one engine and one freight car but it caused great excitement in the village of Tusset, which  is in  the occupied territory.
General Weissenberger, quarter¬ master of the mountain troops that occupied the district, said that he had discussed with oflfi¬ cials at Passau the pressing need for relieving unemployment in the hill districts. The first work, he said,   probabl.v  will   be   road   build-

Britain Now Fearful Of Political Revolt
FRANCO PREDICTS VICTORY IS NEAR
London, Oct, 1 (UP) Prime Min¬ ister Neville Chamberlain, hailed through the Empire and Europe as the savior of peace, tonight faced a political revolt at home as a result of the resignation of Al¬ fred Duff Cooper as first lord of the admiralty because he "pro¬ foundly distrusts" Chamberlain's foreign policy.
The resignation of Duff Cooper from the cabinet brought intn the open once more a long-smoulder¬ ing conflict wilhin the dominant Conservative party in regard lo making peace with Fuehrer Hiller and  Premier Mussolini. I

Prague. Oct. 1 (UPi Trains ar¬ riving tonight from the German- ocrupicd Sudetenland were crowded with refugees who found their capital sullen in grief and anger over the government's acceptance of the Munich accord.
The Czech refugee.s came, quietly and without disorder, into a city boiling with resentment over ces¬ sion of the .Sudeten territory to Germany, the loss of the Teschen- Silesia area lo Poland, and tljc de¬ mand of Hungary for possession of ii,s own mnioritiea.
No Outbreak*
While citizens milled through the streets, parading in small groups or gathering to talk in undertones of their country's plight, uniformed police stood vigilant againsi out¬ breaks of demonstrations. The arm.v under orders of Gen. Ludvig Krejci stood firm in support of the goverumenl's demand that there be no outbreaks of a threat¬ ening nature.
Gen. Jan Syrovy, premier of Czechoslovakia, made a fervent plea for peace, and the populace appeared to be making a sirong effort to swallow resentment and pride in heeding his words.
Saved the Nation
"We had to choose between the dealh of our nation and the dimin¬ ution of our power," the one- eyed premier told the nation in the broadcast. "Wc will not be the smallest nation in the world there arc still smaller nations which are healthy and  prosperous.
"There is still enough territory left us tn develop and have pros¬ perity. I am living through Ihe mosl diflTuult moment of my life because I must carry out the task which is more tragic than death. But I must recognize the fact that a superior force has been raised against us."

The people, ea.sed inlo the grad¬ ual belief that they would lose the Sudden territory when the cabinet of Premier Milan. Hodza resigned last week, neverincless took   the   premieres   words   bitterly.

Czechs Hold Powerful Line
Czech soldiers, grim-f.iced and downhearted, withdrew from the bnrder and back across the Moldau River - bul tonight they were still holding cement pill boxes in Iheir great new defense  line.
One captain told me: "We are withdrawing now under orders, but we would rather fight."
When I left him, the Germans and Czechs were facing each other over a distance of about 100 yards, with   Moldau  River  between.
The firsl (jcrman troops entered , Czech  territory exactly at the zero hour   2  p,  m, -and  wilh   the   pre- i cision    of    the    Prussian    miliiary ', machine  of  old.

The Geiiiirtn.-( were informed that the Czechs had blown up a bridge across the Moldau, but when I arrived lo invcsUgate the report I found  the bridge intact.
The   Czech   troops,   who  held   me , unlil they learned 1 was an Amer- ' ican,   permitted   me   lo   visit   their headquarters     acro.ss     the      river. There I saw about 100 men in uni¬ forms similar to the American war¬ time  uniform. They were dejected- 1 l.v loading furniiure and equipment into ox carts but they had not yet ! moved out of their  fortified line.
There was no ceremon.v as the Hartmann column entered the re¬ public. Czech troops had fallen back acro.ss the river during the night and only two Czech police- j men were at the frontier. The gen¬ eral stepped briskly up to them and discussed conditions for entry. They withdrew. The order to march  was snapped down Ihe line.
Three heavy, gray steel armored cars   limibered   across  Ihe   frontier
,^fallowed by six light armored cSi^ and a company of infantry.  Every
' branch of the service waa repre¬ sented amnng the force* entering Czech territory.

One hu:idred pea.sant women wearing wooden shoes and with colored cloths over their heads cheered the troops aa they crossed. Two German customs officiala in green uniforms crossed to the ston* customs  hnuse  on  the  Czech  side.
Refugees were returning more rapidly than the troops could move in. They were Sudetens who had fled to German soil when war seemed certain. Some were on fool, some on bicycles and some, more affluent, rode in automobiles from which they waved Nazi flags.
Immediately after passing the Czech customs barrier, the Ger¬ mans removed the "drive left" ¦iigns along the road and pul up "drive righl" signs. Welcomed  by  Sudetens

Two heavy eight-wheeled armor¬ ed cars roused thr crowd to franli(3 cheers. Many of them gave tha Nazi salute. Flowers fell around the troops in such profusion that the armored car drivers were con¬ stantly dodging them. Many of the natives, I was told, had waited all night in the sti eels to welcome the Germans.
General Hartmann entered on horseback behind a band and took a position in the main square. There he reviewed the soldiers who goose-stepped by in rinse for¬ mation for more than half an hour. No Censorship
Then a proclamation tn fhe Sudetens hy General von Leeh was posted. It began: "The hour ot freedom has come,"

One curious thing about ths occupation was that no airplanes were used. It was explained that the operation was so small In scope that no planes were  needed.
