THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS SUCCESS OF HERR HENLEIN SETTLEMENT OF PROBLEM (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyrlgnt) LONDON, May 30 Preliminary returns of the municipal elections indicate that 80 per cent of the German votes were cast for Herr Henlein’s Party. Gablonz, the largest Sudeten German community in the country, returned 34 Henlein candidates from 42 seats. Except for the loss of two seats, the Henlein party gained further ground generally. Ilerr Henlein himself had an overwhelming majority at his birthplace, Massersdorf. In Prague the swing to the Left continued. The Paris press is most satisfied at the calm in Czechoslovakia, and features the report of the Czech Minister, Dr. Osusky, who has given M. Bonnet, Minister of Foreign Affairs, a complete outline of Prague’s plan for the settlement of the problem.
He declared the' Government would go as far as possible without abandoning to the minorities any control over foreign and military affairs. It is believed the three main points are an offer to the Germans of the' use of their own languages in all fields as if in their own State; financial control of the school system In the districts where Germans predominate; control of the municipal councils and an exact proportion of civil service posts.
