_
MUNICH, Sept.29, (JP)—A Ger
mian government spokesman said
j that the four power conference
seeking a new basis for Europ
■ ean peace, practically had reach
ed an agreement for “token oc
cupation" of Sudetenland by the
German army.
German circles indicated that
Hitler agreed that only small de
tachments'of his army should
march into the EgerAsch regions
of western Czechoslovakia, Sat
urday or Sunday, and that this
would symbolize his victory, and
that the occupation be extended
gradually to all Germans, and
that all Sudetenland under Ger
man sovereignty would be ac
complished by October 10th.
The German Chancellor and
the Premiers of Great Britain
and Franne went to dinner at
0:20 p.m. and they expected to
resume their talks about 10 p.m.,
with the hopes that their parley
on which the question of life and
death of millions hang, would be
finished tonight.
In London the Czechoslovak
legation announced the new con
cessions by Prague, including an
offer of evacuation by October
31 in the regions whose popula
tion is more than half Germanic,
and to liquidate the whole ques
tion by December 15th.
But Prague also demanded
that before the evacuation takes
place that the new frontiers of
the republic must be definitely
fixed.
