CzECHS AWAITING
MOVEB HUNGARY
Heavy Concentrations Kept
Along the Danube River.
Atmosphere Su||en.
BY the Associated Press,

KOMAROM, Hungary fat the
Czechoslovak border, Oct 19-Heavy
| concentrations OF Czechoslovak trools
were kept along the Danube River to-
day awaiting the next move in the dis
| pute over cession OF Czech territory
inhabited by Hungarians.
"a Budapest foreign Office spokes-
man said the territorial negotia-
tions would be resumed through
regular diplomatic channels)
A virtual army cantonment was es-
tablshed a mile outside Komarno,
Czechoslovakia, across the Danube
from Komarom. Soldiers, field artil-
lery. machine guns and large supplies
Of rifles, were visible from the main
road between Bratislava, Czechoslo-
vakia, and Komarno.
Truckloads Of troops moved into
border areas, particularly in the vi
cinity OF Dunajska Streda Hundreds
OF soldiers were seen near the high
ways. ready for the order that even-
tually might mean giving up Komarno
to Hungary or fighting.
A marked difference was presented
by towns along the Danube 10 that
OF week ago when thousands of Hun
garian flags were displayed as Hunga-
rians momentarily expected the entry
OF their troops.
The breakdown in negotiations be-
tween Hungary and Czechoslovakia
last week. however, brought a new
feeling among Czechoslovak National
lists. Hundreds of Hungarian flags
were torn down in Komarno and other
towns, and pictures Of Admiral
Nicholas Horthy, Hungarian regent,
disappeared from windows OF homes
and business establishments.
A sullen atmosphere seemed to pre-
vail today in this heavily populated
Hungarian district, with rising dis
satisfaction over the lack OF direct
military action to force cession of this
area to Hungary.
Czechoslovak soldiers guarded steel
and concrete fortifications. On the
Hungarian side Of the Danube, military
movements were on a smaller scale
apparently because Hungary is just be-
ginning a thorough mobilization Of
her armer forces.
Reports were rife on the Hungarian
side Of alleged CZechoslovak terrorism
in an effort to suppress outburst Of
Hungarian Nationalist feelings
Military and other officials here said
they knew nothing Of any plans to re-
sumo the negotiations between the
two governments, but were simply
awaiting developments.

PEACE IS CHARTED

Premier Meets Cabinet to
Lay Course-U. S. Trade
Pact Is Up.

LONDON, Oct. 1s-Prime Minister
Neville Chamberlain met his cabinet
today to chart the British course Of
peace on the changed European map,
try to organize home defense and de-
eide on a pacific course in strife-torn
Palestine.
A report on the present stage Of ne
gotiations for an overdue Anglo-Amer-
ican trade treaty also was before the
ministers, who gathered for the first
| Of two sessions expected this week.
The most pressing matters were re-
ports of the September European crisis.
showing gaps in British defenses. and
Colonial Secretary Malcolm MacDon-
AIDS considered conclusions as to what
should be done to end weeks OF bloody
Arab-Jewish strife in the Holy Land, a
British mandate.
Partition Believed Opposed.
There was a widespread belief that
both the colonial secretary and the
| members Of the newest royal commits
sion to Palestine were convinced a
plan to split Palestine into Arab, Jew
ish and British sections would never
| work.
In the immediate ofing was the
premier's determination to consolidate
the September 20 peace OF Munich
by separate agreements with Adolf
Hitler. Mr. Chamberlain returned to
London this morning from a fishing
holiday in Scotland
The cabinet adjourned after a two
and-a-half session without ar
| ranging a further meeting. 1t was
possible, however, the ministers would
meet again later in the week.
Mr.. Chamberlain's first task was to
fill the vacancy caused by the resigna-
ton of Alfred Duff Cooper as first
lord of the admiralty October in pro-
test against the four-power Munich
accord for the partition Of Czechoslo-
vakia.
Next was the urgent problem OF the
Holy Land, considered more dangerous
for Britain'S Near Eastern Arab ties
than ever before.
Some observers believed the govern
ment would favor a proposal to ad-
minister the inundated Holy Land as a
unified state, with perhaps further
controlled Jewish immigration.
Britain has placed about 10000
troops In Palestine to restore order.
Pact Ratification Predicted.
Some sources predicted an early
ratification Of the Anglo-1talian Easter
friendship agreement. ineffective pend
ing a solution" of the Spanish Civil
War, since part Of Italian Legionnaires
are being withdrawn from Spain.
A further spur to British rearma-
ment came with the publication Of
SOC, ,O00-word bluebook on the IA
nous case involving Duncan Sandys,
young member Of Parliament.
Testimony heard by parliamentary
select committee on Mr.. Sandys' COM
plant he was threatened by the gov
ernment under the ofncial secrets
(espionage) act showed Mr. Sandys
had alleged there were only half
enough guns to defend London's 10,-
100000 inhabitants in the event Of
war.
A Liberal manifesto sharply con-
demned Mr.. Chamberlain's policy of
sacrificing Czechoslovakia to Germany
and initiating "an armed and pre-
carious truce necessitating a colossal
and instant expenditure on arms"

be set later.
The application filed with the COM
mission in Baltimore said that at
present the Montgomery Bus Lines,
Inc, and the Rockville Alta Vista
Bus Line are operating entirely in
dependently" with different schedules,
fares and zones.
THE present levels of fares produce
revenues insufficient to meet the cost
of operation and there is some dupli-
cation OF service" the application
said. THE result is that the COM
pany Is losing substantial sums -"

The Montgomery Bus Lines. Inc,
would discontinue its present route.
with through service between down.
town Washington terminal to Mary
land points in rush hours only, and
service between the District of Colum-
bla line terminal and MARYLAND
points in other than rush hours"
This line. the application stated,
would provide the entire service to
the Rockville area.
The Rockville Alta Vista line would
be discontinued north OF Alta Vista
and be continued to points between
Alta Vista and the District Of Colum-
bia line, using the Old Georgetown
road and Wisconsin avenue.
The two lines would be rezoned, with
IL such zones on the Montgomery
County bus line between Washington
Grove and the District of Columbia
boundary and 2 zones on the Alta
Vista line between Alta Vista and the
District of Columbia line.
Five cents per zone would be the
new fare.
No Voice in New Rates.
1t was indicated today that opposi-
tion to the change in rates would be
forthcoming from Montgomery County
groups. Since the services are of an
interstate character, the District Pub
lie Utilities Commission has no voice
in the new rates.
The present fare between Alta Vista
and Washington was said to be 8
cents. Under the new rezoning it
would be 10 cents. Persons consulted
in. the county could not say of hand
what difference in fares would be
brought about by the rezoning Of the
Montgomery County Bus Line They
said. however there was strong op-
position In the county to an increase
in fares.
A current deficit of $4L907 was esti-
mated for the combined lines based on
passenger revenue of S79.652 and op-
Grating cost of $121,555 including
taxes and depreciation.
For the calendar year 1887, the COM
bined revenues totaled $82, ,204 A
