100000 CALLED TO
HUNGARIAN COLORS

BUDAPEST, Oct. Is. (UP)-
Hungary last night ordered the
mobilization of five military
classes, bringing about 100000
reservists under arms, as heavy
fighting and bloodshed spread just
across the Czechoslovak freE4ier
in areas which Hungary demands.
The mobilization order, calling
about 100000 reservists to the
colors Monday and the others in
successive stages, was issued al
ter the government was said to
have informed Europe's big pow
ers of possible "extreme meas
ures" to bring the Czechs to
terms.
simultaneously, Czech arm y
units and gendarmes using tanks
and fighting planes fought with
Hungarian terrorists in Ruthenia
province to the east, part of which
is claimed by Hungary, and were
reported to have captured 3O4 OF
them.
Both nations had large military
forces along the border. as result
of the collapse of territorial nego..
tiations in the frontier town OF
Komarom on the Danube.
Czechoslovakia asserted that the
Magyar terrorists were directed
bv officers of the Hungarian gen.
eral staff, seeking an excuse for
invasion by the Hungarian army
or for a plebiscite in Ruthenia.

BY MARTIN KANE

NEW YORK, Oct. Is. (UP)-
A defendant in the unprecedented
Nazi espionage trial became the
governments star witness yester-
day less than two minutes after
the case was opened before Fed
eral Judge John G. Knox.
Guenther Gustaye Rumrieh, 40,
stood WITH military erectnsss be-
fore the bench and pleaded guilty
to a bungling, naive attempt to
obtain blank passports while pos
ing as an undersecretary OF state.
A former sergeant in the U. 8.
Army and a deserter, the boyish
appearing Rumrich had been ex-
pected to offer such plea. He
will testify for the government.
Some two hours later the jury
box had been filled to the satisfac-
ton of the prosecution and law
yers for the other three defend
ants - Johanna Hoffman,, 26, q
gay, red-haired beautician from
the German liner Europa, who al
legedly acted as messenger 1or the
spy ring, bringing them their pay
from Germany and taking their
information back; Otto Hermann
Voss, 80, mechanic of the Sewers

for an army pursuit plane; and
Erich CHASER, %, U. 8. Army pr:
vate attached to the Mitchell
Field, L. l. air corps, said to have
stolen a military aviation code,
with Rumrich's assistance.
These, the government says, are

At last research has found the truth
about dandruff. Laboratory and
clinical tests have proved that a
queer bottle shaped germ, Pityros-
porum ovale. causes dandruff. And
with the discovery of Pityrosporum
ovale the entire approach to dan
druff therapy is altered. For the
first time, dandruff is treated for
what it really is-a serious germ
infection.
Even more important to you is the
discovery that Listerine Antiseptic
kills Pityrosporum ovale outright.
Its record in the control of dandruff
caused by this stubborn germ is
nothing short of phenomenal.

Dandruff-infected rabbits were
