Meanwhile, local bigwigs of the Sudeten German Party were reported from Czechoslovakia as be ginning to show signs of fear lest they be thrust aside by Nazis from Germany, much as in Vienna the Austrian Nazis have lost all the biggest plums to German Nazis. Supplementing cables to this effect was a statement by pro-Czech Chairman George Boochever of the American-Czechoslovak Chamber of Commerce, who stepped off the Dutch liner Nieuw Amster dam in Manhattan.

...ordered to drive against another Leftist balloon-shaped salient. This balloon, 3,125 sq. mi. of the rich, mineral-producing Estremadura region, bulged into Rightist, lines north of Cordoba and extended to within 50 miles of the Portuguese border. This week, as military observers had long expected, one knife thrust through thinly held Leftist lines did the trick. The balloon burst, leaving the Rightists in possession of several thousand prisoners, 5,000 head of cattle and the strategic copper, iron and lead-mining centre of Castuera...
