CAROLINA FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER SO. I OSS (EIGHT PAGES) NUMBER 33 NEW PEACE HOPE : Pour Power Conference Held at Munich Yester day London, Sept. 28. ? Adolf Hit ter suddenly opened the door to peace today ? at> almost the exact hour he had set to send his arm ies smashing into Czechoslovakia ? by calling Europe's "Big Four" to meet in Munich tomorrow for a showdown between the dictators and the democracies. At the last moment, the Ger man Chancellor ? who had been told bluntly that) the British and French war machines were being mobilized to fight him ? -stepped down from the boldest and most defiant undertaking of armed force in modern history. He gave Europe new hope of peace, at a moment when every nabion was resigned to the inevi tability of war, by agreeing to de lay, at least 24 hours, the march of his troops who were to have plunged across the Czech frontier at 2 p. m. (8 a. m. E. S. T.) today. At Munich Today At Munich, where Naziism was born in bloodshed 15 years ago, HiOler will sit down with Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain of ?Great Britain, Premier Benito Mussolini of Italy and Premier Edouard Daladler of France to seek a way out of the headlong plunge toward war. The announcejnetft of Hitltr's abandonment of war plans today was made by Prime Minister Chamberlain in t>he House of Commons under conditions more sensational than anything that has occurred in the '-'Mother of Parliaments" in Its six and a half centuries of existence. Chamberlain was speaking and preparing the nation for war when a messenger st-umbled in, bearing word of Hitler's new of fer. His hand shaking, the 69-year old Prime Minister read the mes sage that held "out an unexpected hope of peace ? and then burst in to tears. Although he played no direct role in tihe llth-hour development that pulled Europe back from the brink of war, President Roose velt's name stood out tonight in connection with events leading up to It.

At the front will be an entrance lobby 9 feet wide. On the right side of ' tthe building as you face the stage' will be a locker room, size 15 feet by 43 feet for lockers and equip ment. Opening into this will be toilets containing the usual fix tures and including stalls for shower baths, also on the right' hand side will be a shed for motor equipment providing storage for 10 pieces of equipment.
