Denounced By
Soviet Fliers

For British Action
In Recent Crisis
By Associated Press
Col Charles A Lindbergh was de-
nounced by 11 soviet aviation leaders
Monday as a behind-theerenea actor
in events proceeding the Munich ac-
cord which brought about dismem-
berment of Czechoslovakia
The flier waa thrust to the fore in
the after-Munich reverberations by
the Russian airmen who accused him
of providing Prime Minister Chamber-
lain "with an argument in favor of
capitulating in the Czechoslovak
problem”
Reports Mentioned
This they charged In a statement
in the communist party newspaper
Pravda waa done by spreading re-
ports that the combined air forces of
France England the soviet union and
Czechoslovakia were no match fo-
Germany's winged might
Lindbergh who visited In Moscow
in August and waa a guest of some
of those who denounced him declined
to comment In Rotterdam where he
arrived late Sunday With Mrs Lind-
berg he waa en route from France to
Berlin for the annual aewion of the

Germany which has completed oc-
cupation of Sudetenland plus a fifth
aone delimited by the international

have hinted further military advances
would be halted only on condition
that Czechoslovakia end her alliances
with Russia end France
Negotiations between the Prague
government and Hungary on Hun-
gary’s claim to the republic were re-
ported at the breaking point because
Czechoslovak j conferees considered
the demands of the neighboring state
to be outrageous

heed University of Texas football
coach and other Texas officials rela-
tive to changing the playing site from
Dallas to the Iiome stadiums of the
two' teams
Move Is Not New
Altho he haa advocated a change
of sites for several years the pros!-
dent declared that on previous occas-
ions he has withdrawn his protests
because of arguments that the Dallas
game brought a higher financial
return
“I am going to rebel against the
Dallas game" Bizzell declared
"There was every chance for a
big admission Saturday every major
college football team in Texas was
playing out of the state yet there
were only IS 000 persons who wit-
nessed the Oklahoma-Texas game
a r Gets 11X000
lie estimated the normal attend-
ance should have reached 30000
spectators The university’s dure of
the gate receipts was approximately
13000
The games have been played since
1029 under a 10-year contract which
expires this year A new five-year '
comrcct for the Dallas game was
approved lost year by the Big Six
conference officials and will take
effect next year
The contract presumably can he
broken by mutual agreement of both
contracting parties
Fair Charges Scored
The president revealed he also dis-
likes the practice of Texas State fair
officiate in charging football spec-
tators admission to the fairgrounds
where the Oottonhowl stadium scene
of the annual Booner-Longhorn games
for many years is located
The grid contest ta held each Oc-
tober during the fair and an admis-
sion fee of 50 cents ta charged every
person entering the grounds
“Most of the people who intend to
attend the game are going directly
to the stadium anyhow ami I don't
see why they should be charged this
extra 30 cents"
Atlllede Is Disliked
The president added he also dls-
of the Dellas
' Mkd the "attitude
I people'
“They never go out of their way to
do anything for us while we sie
down there" he sakl
“Vet we go down there every year
