Lost During World
War Returned to Hum
gary, a n d Country
Asks More f r o m
Czechoslovakia

Budapest, Nov. 7.-(AP)-Senti-
ment for further territorial revisions
rode at high crest in Hungary today.
Enthusiasm whipped up by military
occupation of sizeable bulk OF
Czechoslovakia inspired a Hungary
leader to tell the people that this vic
tory was "only partial justice"
Hungary, he said, rejpiced that
Italian, German occupations, brought
the return of 1875 square miles of ter
ritory, about one fifth of the total
lost to Czechoslovakia at the end OF
the World War.
But the speaker added the nation
would not be satisfied with that.
Meanwhile, Hungary's calvary and
infantry pushed their new frontier
further into Czechoslovakia occupy
ing four more villages and towns
north of the Danube, and amid scenes
of great enthusiasm.
Thousands of townsmen stood along
railroads and highways, singing in
celebration of their return to- Hun

Washington, Nov. 1.tAF)-- A spirit

helping the carriers overcome sharp
declines in transportation and rev

A committee of six, appointed by
President Roosevelt, three from each
side, will submit the completed pro-
gram to the administration. Mr.
Roosevelt has said he hoped construc-
tive railroad legislation could be en-
acted by the 1889 Congress. Inform

congressional approval of new pro-
gram approved last week WREN the
carriers dropped a plan to cut wages

verses Lower Court,

nerS.

Washington, Nov. 7.-(AP)lThe he
Supreme Court ruled today that a
producer of cotton who paid taxes
imposed on ginners by the Bankhead
Production Control Act may main
tain a suit to recover.
This ruling reversed a decision by
the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals
that since the tax was imposed on
ginners the producers could not bring
recovery legislation.
Directly involved was an attempt
by Stahmar.n Farmers Company, D.
New Mexico, to recover $13, ,O63, paid
on cotton products in 1934-35 in ac-
cess of the allotment made under the
legislation.
Stahmann Farmers contended that
it had to pay the tax because gin
ming company declined otherwise to
deliver the ginned cotton. It argue
also that the tax was invalid on the
ground that the Bankhead act was in
constitutional.
The government denied that the leg
islation was invalid
The court delivered 13 opinions but
left four for later hearings of cases
involving powers of the National La
Dor Relations Board and the status OF
the proposed child labor amendment
to the Constitution.
The court agreed to review litiga-
tion involving the scope of the 1888
act abrogating the "gold clauses" in
securities.

 Jerry allowed Polly but one glass of wine, saying New Eng land granny who has just regained her youth must be careful. But Polly needed no stimulant for her emotions. Jerry's ardent eyes caressed and wooed her even while his sturdy gallantry protected her.

mind bending your pretty back and locking a little more ancient?
 That's it! Thank you. Lean on your stick very hard now and follow me. ' Jerry, meanwhile, was taking a more direct course with Clitte than Cabell Banks would have advised. Strategy was as unnatural with him as was diplomacy. He did not find it in his nature to play chess for Polly with this rascal.
 He said, Miss Chelsey's my sweetheart and we're going to be married. I'll kill anybody that makes move to harm her"
 Clitte did not reply. He was skill fully bringing the lugger into a small, desolate-locking harbor where several fishing boats rode at anchor and a few shacks lined the shore. To larboard of the lugger large sloop of war could be seen passing the little harbor. He had beat it. He had in fact dodged through a sail-infested Channel all night, and with more adroitness than any body but a smuggler could appre- ciate. He desired nothing so much now as a long drink of liquor and a chance to get his cargo ashore. AS for that girl, it appeared that he'd have to kill couple of Americans if he hoped to get her. Though the small arbor was practically his own, there was no use taking extra risks. Besides, the girl was hardly worth it. (So figured Jean Clitte the snug gler, wise and Wicked) She was a vixen and would probably scratch his eyes out if he tried to make love to her.
 Having drawn these conclusions, the rascal, who was two people, shrugged his shoulders and said to Jerry Whitfield, You can take the woman ashore. I've got troubles enough. I figured she was a ragtag Bourbon"
 Sails came down and the anchor was dropped. Clitte gave orders for the long beat to be lowered away with his three passengers, the dog and the trunk in it. There was a great deal of shoWy politeness on both sides, though the New Eng landerS' eyes were watchful, and Jerry and Cabell still held their pistols caressingly.
 Even when shore was reached and the dory had gone back to the ship there was no relaxing. The village, like Corly on the other side, had the unWholesome air of furtive life and laWlessness.

 The husbands defense was that he had no knowledge of his wife's condition. The statute did not men, ton knowledge nor make it specific ally an essential of the crime.
 The trial court ruled that the mans knowledge was immaterial. The defendant, however, cited many cases which held that guilty knowledge was necessary for the accomplishment of a crime, al- though the statute did not require that the act in question had to be knowingly done.

 He governs, in cooperation with the British, from Zanzi- bar city Zanzibar, which is shaped roughly like a boat, is 20 miles off the coast of British East Africa. Most of it's inhabitants are mixed race of Negro stock the Swahili, running the whole gamut of the browns.
 Fishing and the clove are the islands chief standbys. Great groves of the clove trees cover almost half of the island. The clove tree grows 30 to 40 feet high. Maize, ground nuts, yams and many kinds of beans are also exported. Aside from the exten- sive trade in shellfsh and clans, locally manufactured rope is a source of revenue.
 British interests were recog- nized in 1890 by an agreement between France, Germany and England whereby the latter re- nounced all claims to Madagascar in favor of France and ceded Heligoland to Germany. In 1895 the. sultan leased a strip of the
