LONDON, Saturday, Nov.

captured the key Hungarian
rail junction of Fuzesabony

four miles on a 65-mile front
and hurting. the enemy back
into the Matra and Bukk
mountains northeast of be-
sieged Budapest, a Moscow

The fall of Fuzesabony, so miles

Miskolc trunk railway, which al
so has been cut 10 miles east of
Hatvan, an important junction

Hatvan was reported under at

ARGENTINE MEET
OPPOSED BY.U. S.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IT, Up -
United States has informed t h e
other Latin American republics
that 1t is opposed to Argentina S
request to hold foreign ministers
meeting to thrash out that ma
tons Diplomatic isolation.
The American views were ex.
pressed, it was learned today, in
a note circulated to all the EN-.
Pbassies OF Western Hemisphere ma
tons in Washington, except Argen-
tina.
The United States document was
in close agreement with a note
distributed a few days ago by Mex
leo. The Mexican note recommend
ed that the Argentine proposal to
the Pan-American Union be turned
down and that foreign ministries
in the hemisphere spend more
time deciding how to deal with
the tickish Argentine problem.
AS result, Latin diplomats here
expressed the opinion that it would
be impossible to hold meeting
of foreign ministers on the Argen-
tine question this year, and ex-
tcmely unlikely that any confer
enc, can be called until 1915.
The United States. paraueling
the Mexican views, held that Unit
ed Nations problems and the war
are far more important and must
be considered before Argentina's
case. The way was left open for
a foreign ministers meeting on
world security plans and the Amer
lean document indicated that the
Argentine situation could be dis
cussed incidentally to such con-
ference.
However, it was made quite
clear that this government does
not believe that Argentina should
be among those invited to parti-
cipate on an equal status.
A third document, from Chile,
has also been dispatched. The Chi
lean view tends to favor accept
ance of the Argentine proposal but
states that Chile would be ready
to follow the decision of the rest
of the American republics.
None of the other countries in
the hemisphere have formally pre-
scented their opinions as yet.

COURT ORDER PUTS
TRUCKERS ON SPOT

BOSTON, Nov. 17.-R-Superior
Judge Raoul Beaudreau tonight is
sued an order forbidding union
truck drivers to refuse to move
perishable goods stored at the Bos-
ton arket terminal.
The order also forbade officers
of the International Brotherhood Of
Transfers (AFL) to interfere with
truckmen transporting goods from
the terminal. 81
Obtained by the Boston Market
Terminal company, a cooperative
food receiving and distributing con-
Germ, the order will become effec:
tive as soon as it can be served
on the respondents.
Those named in the action also
were commanded to appear in Suf-
folk court next Tuesday to show
cause why the restraining order
should not be made permanent.
Those named as respondents
were P. H. Jennings, trustee of
the local; President John M. Sui
Ivan, John Doe, Richard Roe"
and "all other members of local
25."
The court action was described
By lawyers as unusual in that
the State Labor Relations act for
bids the courts to issue such an
Injunction where labor disputes are
involved unless it is possible to
prove "irreparable injury" has &C.
Cured.
Judge Beaudreau found in h S
ruling that unlawful acts are be-
ing committed and will be COM
mjtted by the respondents unless
they are restrained and that SUBJ
stantia1 and irreparable injury to
the complainants property will fol-
low"
The court action came as ''holi-
daying" drivers refused to return
to work in an intra- union dispute
over local elections.

union officials at communities tied
up by the Walkout.
When this was not obeyed, the
board ordered Pollock and jean
nette Reedy of Dayton, president
of the declarations southwest area
council, to appear for a cause
hearing at Cleveland tomorrow.
Long distance service got the
hardest blow, since local service
in Dayton, Columbus and Toledo is
maintained by the automatic dial
system. But some smaller ex-
changes are manual and in those
where all operators quit, as in Ken
ia. the community was isolated.
Personnel from other department
was recruited for long distance
boards in the metropolitan areas
and many men sat where women
had worked before. Every cupboard
call was challenged and the SUBJ
scriber asked to cancel unless the
call was emergency.

FIR Hopes For Quick Action
On Youth Training Plan

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-R-
President Roosevelt voiced hope
that the new Congress this winter
will enact legislation for compul-
scry, one-year federal training for
young Americans.
In a news conference, he indicat-
ed thought of more general pro-
gram than the year of peacetlnne
military training which some are
advocating to establish trained
army reserve.
Mr.. Roosevelt said the degree
of military training would be up
to the legislators. He recalled the
physical benefits derived by those
who served in the Civilian Con-
servation Corps, the desirability OF
teaching people to brush their
teeth and keep clean, and asked,
should we, for instance, teach girls
cooking?
