 Hungarians Still Fight Bratislava, March 27-(UP)-Re- liable advices from Eperjes said to- day that the Hungarians had launched an offensive in the Mi chalovce and Sobrance sector of the Eastern Slovakian border, using bomberS and artillery.
 The attack coincided with the de- parture of a Slovak delegation from Bratislava for Budapest to begin peace negotiations.
 It was not known how far the &C., ton was initiated by the local Hun garian commander or to what ex- tent it was due to orders from Bu- dapest. It was assumed, however, that it was intended as last effort to advance the Hungarian occupa- tion as far as possible before the negotiations in Budapest get under way.
 According to reliable private sources the Hungarian offensive was well organized. It was reported that bombers and artillery first pounded the Slovak lines after which the infantry advanced but was repulsed. ls..

 Troop Movements There have been frequent reports of troop movements by both Ger mans and Poles in the corridor area recently but both governments con- tinued strongly to deny that any unusual concentrations were neal the danger area.
 German officials also denied cate gorically that Germany has any plariS to move on Danzig or the cor ridor in the near future, although responsible quarters close to the German government privately be- lieve that Poland would be well-ad- vised to act cautiously in dealings with Germany in the next few days.
 Whether this information was part of campaign to influence the Warsaw government against joining up with Britain, France and Soviet Russia in an anti-Nazi movement was not clear, but dispatch from Warsaw said that official quarters denied any miStreatment of the German minority in the corridor.
 Britain Hears of Demand
 London. March 27 (U.P3 - The News Chronicle, liberal party organ, asserted today that reports had reached London that Germany in note to Poland regarding the free city of Danzig area proposed: l. That the post of high commits sioner be abolished.
 2. That any settlement of the Danzig problem be confined to Ger many and Poland alone.
 3. That all rights to Danzig re- vert to Germany except certain port rights which Poland would enjoy. The News Chronicle asserted that Poland was considering the note carefully, and that the German proposals" were one reason for Po- fish hesitation to join any "stophit- ter" bloc.
 It was noted that the News Chronicle report came after denials by German and Polish authorities of published reports that Germany was massing troops in East Rrussis and that Poland had sent 10000 men to Gdynie, its port adjoining Danzig.

Washingtonians
Get Chance 10 Vote,

BoIIoting to Be on
Traffic Problems,

BY G. ADAMS HOWARD.

Washingtonians, particularly mo-

to vote. The District of Columbia
Division of the American Automobile
Associa ton is sponsoring a voting
machine at its exhibit at the twen-

All attending will be given a ballot
to express themselves on traffic
problems here. Just pull of the
lever opposite the preferences re-
cords them.
In city where there are so many
self-appointed traffic directors this
voting opportunity should satisfy
the desires of many motorists and
pedestrians alike.
There are 10 questions as follows:
/. Should all gasoline taxes and
registration fees be used for highway
purposes?
2. Should parking facilities be a
part of all newly constructed Office
and apartment buildings?
g. Should pedestrians be COM
PEELED to obey stop and go signals?
4. Which one condition requires
first attention? Downtown park
ing problems. Building divided
highways. Improving driving prac-
ticeS.
S. Should highway police patrol
cars be conspicuously marked?
6. Do you favor the regulation of
outdoor advertising along rural
highways?
Z. Should motorists be required to
have their headlights, brakes etc,
inspected periodically at official in
spection stations?
8. Have the difficulties of night
driving caused you to use your car
less after sundoWn?
9. Do you favor traffic safety edu-
cation, including wheel train
Ing, in high schools?
10. Which one annoys you most ?
Back-seat driving. No place to
park. Failure to signal. Cutting in
Road hogging Winding roads
Careless pedestrians. Roadside bill
boards. Slow moving trucks. made
quate direction signs.
All you do is to answer yes or no
to eight of the questions and sig

two.

Some of the results were highly in

More than 10 to l favored park

ASn1ith, Jr., Making Fight
For New York Council Post
Runs as Independent,
Admitting He Faces
Big Handicap
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-When Al
fred E. Smith. jr.. made his maiden
political speech as lad of II before
the Old Neighbors' Club in Brooklyn,
George Boothby, a veteran news
paper political writer, had to keep
kicking his legs under a table to
get him through it.
One might have wondered if Al,
jr., is being figuratively booted back
into politics today as he sat in his
campaign headquarters in the En-
pire State Building-his fathers
monument-telling why he is can
didate for New York's City Council
Ironically, a reform movement
created this City Council two years
ago to supplant the old Board of
Aldermen and thereby loosen the
grip on city affairs held by Tam
many Hall, the organization in which
the elder Smith rose to be the DEM
ocratic nominee for President of
the United States.
when I made that speech 81
years ago in Brooklyn. it was in
fathers first campaign for Gov
ernor.' Mr.. Smith recalled, Il had

A small, narrow -shouldered little
nah, whose light hair is scarce above
scar crossing his forehead, Al. jr.,

to his father More so now, perhaps,
because he looks older than his 38
years. But there the resemblance
ends-he's not so articulate nor so
assured as the old man." and CAM

he added. Il want to see it give
the public real administration. The
charter provides it with wider scope,
it can pass laws, instead of only
ordinances as the aldermen did, but
it hasn't done this for two years."
Faces Big Handicap.
Smith, jr., admitted he will face
big handicap in going on the
ballot November as an independ-
ent without the field forces of Tam
many or the American Labor, Re
publican or fusion parties working
for him. Under the proportional
representation system, probably only
of 20 candidates in Manhattan
can win, as one councilman is al
lotted to every $4,000 votes cast. No
independent could win in Manhattan
