Tomorrow morning Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain will fly to meet Hitler at Godesberg. and the ultimatum of Britain and Fiance to Prague was that the P'ime Minister must dellvti to Der Fuehrer the complete surrender of the little post-war rcpflblic. or both powers will stand aside and let Czechoslovakia bear the consequences alone.
BETRAYAL IS CHARGED
There was no ambiguity about the Czech reaction to the Anglo-French "betrayal.” They accused the two governments—one their military ally, bound by treaty to help them in case of attack, and the other their avowed "friend”—of deliberately selling them out.
Similar protests were voiced in Paris and i/ondon, where the French and British governments strove to weld domestic support behind their "peaceful solution” to the Czech crisis.

Former Premier Leon Blum bitterly remarked that "v.ar probably has been avoided ' and added: "But under conditions such that I, who have never ceased lighting for pcace, can (Ind r.o joy—in fact, my feelings are divided between cowardly relief and shame."

Train Crash Kills 11
By United Press
A mounting toll of dead and in jured rose last night out of the wreckage ol two Southern Pacific passenger trains which collided with terrific force on the Imperial Valley desert in the dark hours before dawn.
Eleven persons were killed instanly or died laUr. The toll of injured rcxse to 111 when additional victims were removed to already crowded hospitals at Yuma, Ariz., and Indio, Calif. Of the injured, an undetermined number may die.
CAUSE INVESTIGATED
The collision occurrcd when the speeding west-bound Argonaut from New Orleans piled head-on into the east-bound Californian, whfc h was was standing on » siding w» ‘ing for the we3t-bound flyer to pass.
Shortly after 2am, the Californian took a siding at Tortuga a hamlet 11 miles east of Nitkiid, Calif., to wait for the west-bound train to pass. Southern Pacific officials in a statement released at San Ftanclsco said their preliminary investigation indicated that Eric Leonard Jacobson, veteran head-end brakeman of thc Californian, "became confused when he saw the Argonaut approchmg and unlocked and threw the switch."
C ARS DERAILED
The locomotive of the Argonaut struck thc second locomotive head-on. Passengers of the two trains were thrown heavily from their seats or berths by the Impact. Two Pullman cars of the Californ**i and one of the Argonaut's sleepers were derailed. Most of the injured were in these cars.
The prodigious task of removing tho injurrd to hospitals look hours. The job was made even more tor-turesome after dawn by a hot glar-| ing sun which sent th" temperature boiling above 100 Trace officers who hurried to the scene from El Centro and other towns highly prai.'ed railroad workers and volunteer helpers.
FDR Moves To Avoid Rail Strike
WASHINGTON. Sept 20—(U.R)— President Roosevelt today named a six-man committee of railroad executives and labor leaders to prepare a comprehensive legislative program to aid the financially har-rassed carriers and announced he would appoint a fact-finding commission soon in a attempt to avert a rail strike.
His anouncement was made at his press conference held after he had spent an hour and a half discussing railroad problems with the six men whom he charged with the responsibility of submitting a remedial program for consideration by the next congress.
Although lt was generally understood that the president called the rail leaders into conference in a desperate effort to avert the threatening rail strike, Mr. Roosevelt said that the dispute Is taking It., normal course under the provisions of the railway labor act.

BETRAYAL IS CHARGED There was no ambiguity about the Czech reaction to the Anglo-French "betrayal.” They accused the two governments—one their military ally, bound by treaty to help them in case of attack, and the other their avowed "friend”—of deliberately selling them out. Similar protests were voiced in Paris and i/ondon, where the French and British governments strove to weld domestic support behind their "peaceful solution” to the Czech crisis.
