MUNICH, Oct. l5.-Koloman Da-
ranyi, former Hungarian premier, de-
parted for Budapest today with Chan
eellor Adolf Hitler's assurances that
Hungary would get her legitimate
share of diminishing Czechoslovakia.
That, Nazi sources said, was the
principal result of the Chancellor S
talks yesterday with Daranyi and
Frantisek Chvalkovsky, Czechoslovak
foreign minister.
Details Not Touched On.
These sources said Hitler dealt only
with the broad principles Of racial
self determination and their applica-
ton to the Czechoslovak situation
and did not 60 into details OF a
possible settlement.
The German Ministers in Prague
and Budapest. however, have been
instructed to lend all their energies
toward bringing about speedy So
luton.
Wilhelmstrasse circles regard Hitler
as having taken on the role of me-
diator and say the necessity of in
voking the aid of Great Britain
France and Italy-the other partici-
pants in the Munich four-power con-
ference-is non-existent.
Hitler Can Settle 1t Alone"
''fIitler can settle this alone" one
prominent Nazi editor asserted.
Disappointment was openly ex-
pressed in responsible Nazi quarters
that Hungary did not mobilize imme-
diately after the Munich conference.
Hungary Doubling Army.
BUDAPEST, Oct. is (P).-Hungary
started doubling her army to an esti-
mated 100000 men today for what
officials said was peace, not war.
The mobilization of five classes to-
taling approximately 100000 youths
was called a measure necessary for
Hungarian security, endangered by
the continued mobilization OF the
Czechoslovak army" and the collapse
Of negotiations on Hungarian demands
for parts of Czechoslovakia.
Surprise was occasioned by the dis
closure that the Hungarian army num-
bered about 220, 900 because the post
war Trianon treaty, declared abro-
gated just two months ago, limited the
force to $4,000

Mobilization of agricultural produc-
ton workers to assure an adequate
food supply also was ordered.
Authorities were directed to muster
all unemployed farm workers for
transfer from farm to farm to safe
guard continuance of Hungary's agri-
cultural harvest. Another decree held
employers of agricultural labor re-
sponsible for paying adequate sums to
guarantee the interests of families OF
those men called to arms.
Powerful Friends Cited.
The official press declared Hungary
was not alone in demanding Magyar
inhabited slices of her already-dis-
membered neighbor. I'VE have pow
erful friends, who fully support us, u
said the Poster Lloyd.
The reference was perhaps to Ger
many and Italy, with whose heads two
Hungarian ENJOYS conferred yester'
day. Mobilization was reported to
have been postponed once previously at
the request of great foreign powers,
especially Germany.
The call to the colors was decided
upon in a cabinet meeting last night
and was formally decreed by the war
ministry today.
