the government to call up re
servists and take other meas

al defense and speed French
armament became law.
Standards were set up In the
Paris East station bearing the leg
end "This Way for All Reservists."
Reservists Called
The reservists called, many of
whom were from the last two classes
to complete their military service,
had their military summonses check
ed at a station gate before boarding
trains that took them to the north
east. The government acted under
sweeping powers with which parlia
ment Invested It over the week-end.
Other decrees gave the govern
ment virtual mobilization power
over French Industry by according
preference to any orders connected
with national defense. To enable
national defense Industries to fill
government orders faster. Increase
of their work week from 45 to 60
hours was authorized.
Reliefers to Work
Another decree made it obliga
tory for any workman on relief to
accept any job in the national de
fense industry offered to him by the
government employment bureau.
Otherwise he would be stricken from
the relief rolls for a year.
A decree "relating to military in
formation" and another attaching a
central information service to the
premier's office were commented on
by some observers as possible fore
runners of press censorship.
Moving rapidly to whip French
productive capacity into shape to
match Oermany'a, the Daladier gov
ernment announced also that a work
week longer than 60 hours may be
authorized If found necessary.
Reliefers Hit
A communique said any person
on relief who refused to accept work
on national defense would be drop
ed from relief rolls for a year.
The announcement was part of
a quick national defense reorgani
zation, for which decree laws were
Issued.
The 16 decrees, signed yesterday
by President Albert LeBrun, not
only signaled Intensified production
of war materials and a revamped
military command system along the
German frontier but authorized the
government to call reservists to the
colors.
Three of the 16 decrees, ordered
published In this morning's official
Journal, were considered military
measures; nine were for Increased
production, while the other four were
"miscellaneous."
French political observers consid
ered them but the first of a series
(designed to put France on an equal
footing with totalitarian states In
rapid military action.

After a two-hour secret meeting.
In which the $125,000,000 compromise
figure was mentioned, democratic
members were unable to reach an
agreement on President Roosevelt's
demands for additional funds for

The president asked for $150,000

Washington, March 21 (IP) A United States note to Ger

ernment "does not recognize any legal basis exists" for Ger
many's protectorate over Bohemia and Moravia. Enclosed

cree Issued March 16 by the govern

assumption of a protectorate over
the provinces of Bohemia and Mo

"The government of the United
States," the American note said.
"has observed that the provinces re
ferred to are now under the de fac
to administration of the German
authorities. The government of the
United States does not recognize
that any legal basis exists for the
status so Indicated."
The note then said the views of
this government were made known
last Friday and for the Information
of the German government a copy
ot Welles' statement was enclosed.
This last paragraph had the ef
fect of ilaclng Welles' -statement,
which had been made to the public,
on a diplomatic basis.
The state department released the
text of the March 17 German note
which consists almost entirely of
text of the March 16 decree.
"Under article 6 of this decree

Hungary Holds
Army on Border
Budapest, March 21 (Py Hungary
held the bulk of her armed forces
on the Rumanian frontier today, but
officials denied the country was
in a state of partial mobilization.
Many troops have been summoned
and military sources said others
would be called soon to the colors,
but objections were raised in an
official statement to use of the
phrase, "partial mobilization," In
this connection.
Maurice Castagne, correspondent
for a French news agency, who used
that phrase in a dispatch, was or
dered to leave the country.
Foreign military observers esti
mated the total number under arms
at 500.000, of whom at least half
were believed to be on or near the
Hungarian-Rumanian frontier, es
pecially in the unfortified section
which previously was the border be
tween Carpatho-Ukralne and Ru
mania. With the additional men expected
to be called, it was believed that
Hungary's armed strength woufll rise
to 700.000.
Thousands of families moved out
of the eastern border zone as the
new troops moved tn.
the full $160,000,000 can not be ob
tained, were understood to have
tried then to obtain $125,000,000 as
a compromise.
8peaker William B. Bankhead and
Majority Leader Sam Reyburn, D ,
Tex., attended the conference with
23 democratic members of the ap
propriaUons committee.
Before they went into the meet
ing, economy bloc members said
they would support a $100,000,000 bill
if the leadership would agree not to
attempt to raise It in a floor fight.
Failing that assurance, they threat
ened to block any bill.

Delay Action
On Wagner Law
Washington, March 21 M The
Mnate labor committee voted today
to delay until next Tuesday a deci

proposed amendment to the Wag
ner labor relation law.
Senator Borah R., Idaho), naid
the Congress of Industrial Organi
sations had advised the committee
It wished more time for Its labor
peace conferences with the Ameri
can Federation of Labor.
Borah said negotiations between
the rival labor organizations would
be resumed Friday, and general sen
timent In the committee was to
give the negotiators more time In
which to reach a settlement.
Hearings on amendments to the
Wagner law, one set of which was
sponsored by the AFL, originally
were scheduled to start March 10,
put were postponed when the AFL
and the CIO started peace confer
ences at the suggestion of President
Roosevelt.
Spurred by the imminence of a
slash in WPA rolls, a house sub
committee talked compromise aa It
rushed action on President Roose
velt's $150,000,000 relief request.
WPA officials said orders to cut
the rolls would have to go out this
week unless congress votes suffi
cient money. A majority of the sub
committee seemed to think 1100,000
000 would be enough.
Even strong economy advocates on
the subcommittee conceded WPA

Moscow, March 21 (.V-The Soviet Russian government

opinion "such a conference would
afford the maximum possibilities
for elucidation of the Teal situation
and the positions of all participants
in the conference."
As "most Interested states' the
communique named Great Britain,
France, Poland, Rumania, Turkey
and Soviet Russia.
The communique denied foreign
reports the Soviet government re
cently offered Its help to Poland
and Rumania In the event they be
came victims of aggression.
"Neither Poland nor Rumania ap
plied for help to the Soviet govern
ment nor informed the latter of any

called to the colore for training and

Official confirmation of this re

Italy should be taking precautions
in view of developments m France
and Britain. .
He said, however, Italy was doing
much less than last September
when 300.000 reservists were called
to the colora.
The relationship between the re-
ported call for troops and the Drea

once fully apparent.
To gain another viewpoint on
Oermany's expansion the Italian
envoy to Berlin had been summoned
home to report. The envoy, Ber
nardo D. Attolico, left Berlin I
night.
It waa believed In diplomatic cir

to Rome to give him an idea
how far he could count on German
support In pressing Italian claims
on France.
Attolico was due to arrive before

possibility of an early end of the
