Last night, reliable sources said,
Hungarian troops entered their posi-
tions opposite the Czechoslovak forti-
Ned zone, moving up through villages

BANKERS Baking
AT BRIDGE BONDS
Insist on P. W. A. Aid for
Third, Maryland Project,
Officials Told.

The Public Works Administration
was advised unofficially yesterday that
banking interests have determined to
refuse to float bonds necessary to Sc
cure Federal grants for the two Mary
land bridges desired by President
Roosevelt unless third bridge, across
the Patapsco River, near Baltimore, Is
included among the projects.
Twenty-four hours before the Mary
land Democratic primary, President
Roosevelt directed Administrator Ickes
to give right Of way" to proposed
bridges over the Susquehanna River
at Havre de Grace and across the Po-
tomac at Morgantown. The act at the
time was regarded as a direct bid in
support Of Representative David j.
Lewis, New Deal candidate who op-
posed Senator Millard E. Tydings for
denomination for the Senate.
Mr.. Roosevelt made no mention of
third bridge. and the proposal for
the span over the Patapsco has received
no favorable action from the P. W. A
Government engineers have approved
the other two bridges, but the Mary
land Bridge Commission has been un-
able to win over banking interests.
The P. w. A. has not been asked for
loan in connection with the two
bridges favored by Mr.. Roosevelt. The
granting Of Federal contributions,
amounting to nearly $1,000 900, Is con-
tingent entirely, it was said, upon
whether bankers would buy the bridge
bonds.
The bankers were said to be of the
opinion that the Susquehanna bridge
would be good revenue producer.
They are not so optimistic about the
amount Of trafhc over the proposed
Potomac bridge at Morgantown unless
it is balanced by one near Baltimore.

French LEADER
ASKSPEACE MOVE
Americans Will Have to
Face Issue, Jouhaux
Says in Speech.

Leon Jouhaux. the leader Of the
French Confederation Of Labor, blamed
the United States in part last night
for the present world crisis centerinz
around Czechoslovakia.
M. Jouhaux. on his way back to
France from labor meeting in Mexico
City, said in speech at the National
Press Club that the United States
failure to stand by the League Of
Nations was one Of three causes chief
ly contributing to the crisis.
The other two causes, M. Jouhaux
said, were the inability OF democracies
to cooperate fully and the fact that
the "proletariat has not yet manifested
its strength in determining national
policies"
''Laborers Must Unite"
ITO defend peace" M. Jouhaux said,
the laborers Of the world should unite.
United they should organize cooper
ative institution where all nations, all
peoples, all individuals could be as
sured OF the same right, that no entity
be excluded from the benefits Of free
DOM"
The Frenchman spoke in his native
language, which was translated by DR..
Leo Bellerose of Georgetown Univer-
sity. Almost 800 persons in the Press
Club auditorium applauded M. Jou-
haux frequently, especially when he
said:
Certain Americans may believe
that they can keep out of the world
wide crisis. That is a delusion. The
Americans will have to face the issue.
and in that case would 1t not be better
for all democracies to unite and staye
OF the struggle?"
Sees Fascism Growing.
Fascism is already gaining q foot in
South America, M. Jouhaux said, and
from South America 1t can come to the
United States.
M. Jouhaux was introduced by Ed
win S. Smith. member Of the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board, and he
spoke under auspices OF the American
League for Peace and Democracy.
During the evening the league pre-
sented to audience this resolution,
which was adopted without dissent:
Resolved that this meeting call
upon President Roosevelt and Secre-
tary Of State Hull to take immediate
steps for the maintenance OF world
peace by reminding the German gov
eminent of its obligations under the
Briand-Kellogg Pact and by an un-
equivocal statement notifying the
world that the United States disap-
proves Of any violation Of Czecho.

JUSTICE IS PRESS
P[EAF0R CzECHS
PIebiscite Receives Little
British Favor-French
Stress Peace.
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Sept. l7.--Justice for
Czechoslovakia was the predominating
note OF the British and French press
today amidst efforts by the govern
ments OF the two nations to avert war
over the little republic.
The plebiscite idea to settle the
Czechoslovak-German dispute found
only few supporters in Britain. In
Paris the press abandoned a peace
at any price" campaign for a sitter
attitude.
The London Daily Telegraph and
Morning Post declared: Every one
realizes that If peace is to be forged
1t must be not merely a peace with
honor but peace with justice which
the conscience Of the world can ac-
cept as SUCH"
Plebiscite Assailed.
The liberal Manchester Guardian
commented: ITO press it (the plebi-
scite) on the Czechs would be to invite
them to confide themselves in the
future neither to their own arms and
natural defenses nor to the power of
trustable allies. but to offer them
selves naked before the good faith and
moderation Of Herr Hitler when they,
100000 people facing $4,000, 900,
stand in the road of his aggrandize-
ment."
On the other hand, the London
Daily Mail, outspokenly in favor of
friendship with dictators, asserted:
"sef-determination was one of the
foundation stones Of the (post-war)
peace treaties. That being 20, neither
France nor any other democratic
country could logically 60 to war today
to prevent = plebiscite."
And the London Times. which cre-
ated furor recently with the sug-
gestion that the Czechoslovaks should
cede their Sudeten area to Germany,
declared: 1T must be borne in mind
that in German eyes =. the one
possible solution is inclusion Of the
Sudeten population within the Reich"
The double purpose Of the British
0S'SAAASAe AoAldALo AIi dHy case uI-
mistakable-to find a just solution
while throwing its whole weight
against q violent attempt at settle
ment," the Times added.
French Favor Peace Efforts.
The French press from left to right
still insists all efforts must be bent
toward peace, but at the same time
considerable attention is given to the
theme Of Czechoslovakia's rights.
The Paris newspaper lie Temps said
1t was now up to France and England
ito see what possibilities may exist
for an accord taking into account the
demands Of the Sudeten Germans to
return to the Reich and the necessity
OF maintaining the existence OF the
Czechoslovak Republic with the dig
nifty necessary to all independent
states"
Writing in lie Populaire, former So
cialist Premier Leon Blum said the
position taken by Hitler may we'll be
an extreme one excluding al thought
of conciliation. And above all-which
Is far graver-he apparently accepts
and confronts in adyance all efforts
TO preserve peace BY justice"
