TALKS AT PRAGUE.
Germans Demand Some Rights As Czechs. RENEWED DISTURBANCES. LONDON, May 19. Herr Ernst Kundt, a leading Sudeten German member of the Czech Parliament, met the Prime Minister, Dr. Hodza, yesterday and is reported to have told him the Sudeten German party would reject the proposed new minorities statute, says a message from Prague. Herr Kundt admitted he had not, yet received an official copy of the statute. but said Herr Henlein had been given a good idea of it while in London.
The statute had not met 5 per cent of their demands, added Herr Kunctt. The Sudeten Germans demanded precisely the same rights as the Czechs, including local self-government, local police and local finances. Three members of the Sudeten German party and three Czechs were wounded in disorders which started in the village of Crebenice, northern Bohemia, says the Prague correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph." Fifty members of the German Athletic Association marched through the streets shouting, "Heil Hitler!" and clashed with a number of Czechs. Disorders spread through the district and the gendarmerie intervened.
