WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.—(UP) — 1 Senators and congressmen began ret turning fiom their election recess to- ' day to wind up the work of the 78tn Congress in a four or five week session which convenes at noon tomor-
I row.
Democratic leaders were scheduled ! to confer with President Roosevelt ! tomorrow before charting the pntrani to complete the work of a i Congress which has provided most [ of the wartime legislative authority
j iml appropriations.
The reconvening House and Senate A-ill include approximately 85 ‘Tame i luck" members who lost their seats | through primary or general election I defeats or voluntary retirement. The Senate was expected to give i top priority to a House-approved , omnibus flood ocntrol measure and I the House to a Senate-approved bill to authorize expenditure of $1,350,000 000 to match state funds in a three-year postwar highway buildir.g
program.
The House then probably will turn to a measure to revive the federal crop insurance program which was killed a year ago and the Senate to the House-approved rivers and har-
bors oil).

Tliero’ij going to be some shortage of coal delivered to homes this winter. This isn’t because less coal is being produced. More coal is being mined this year than last. Mine owners and miners alike are doing a splendid job. And there are ample rail facilities for transporting coal. But certain grades and sizes of roal are needed for war production. And, in addition, your local coal dealer is suffering from a shortage of manpow er, trucks and tires. So be patient with him and make the coal you get go as far as possible.
Be sure your heating system is clean and in good shape. Fire carefully. Pull your shades and draw Hie drapes at night. Close off unused bedrooms. For other suggestions see your coal dealer. One of the biggest jobs of the C&O Lines is hauling coal from the mines along its routes, so we’re in a position to understand the problem and to know how essential coal is these days.

ARMISTICE DAY <r«Bilna»d From l*a.r» <»■«> those rights and privileges which are our treasured possession in this
blessed land.
In the vigor of strength—they went forth from home and hall and shop and field. They were citizens of a land who had given them life, who had secured them in the exercise of freedom. Wh’jn that way of life was imperiled--and liberty enrangered, the Nation summoned them to arms. Dutiful sons—they heard and answered the call of a mother who claimed their allegiance, loyalty and service. Their glory now is secure not so much in the fact that they gave their lives- as rather that they did their duty as citizens of a free nation. Personal concerns and self-interest were set aside—clotiled in the armor of military service, faithful in the execution of the responsibility placed upon them— They were faithful even to death in the defense of freedom—and they with their lives, as others with their service and suffering and blood bought the dawning on Peace on
November 11, 1918.
These arc the worthy sons of Uie nation—worthy to have their names inscribed on the national Roster of Heroic dead which begins with those who fell at Lexington and Ooncord and embraces In its muster the casualties of the wars that followed and
claimed their toll—

More than 30 towns or inhabited places were captured by the Red army troops as they hammered out gains up to 13 miles in one day and killed or captured £100 more Germans and Hungarians. The new drive toward Budapest was centered along a front stretching from Alberti, on the southern Budapest, other forces of Marshal Rodwhere the Soviet troops were only j seven miles from Jasz'oeryny, In establishing that line the Russians also seized the village of Boldoghaza. two miles southwest of Alattyn and Soreg, 10 miles north of Cegled. The thrust toward Jaszbereny, the key enemy bastion protecting the eastern approaches to Budapest, threatened to cut off one of the last big highways between the German forces in the capital and in northeastern Hungary. The Russians also closed another gap tn the southern Budapest-Szol-nok railroad by capturing Monor, 13 miles southeast of Budapest, leaving only eight miles of the line between the capital and Ullo in German hands. In the drive for Jaszbereny, Malinovsky’s southern units were less than 14 miles from a juncture with his northern forces at Pely, lower anchor also continued their advance westward and captured the enemy stronghold of Mezokovesd, 65 miles northeast of Budapest.

SPENT WEEK IN THUNK LONG BEACH, Calif., Nov. 13.— (UP)—Little Da\id Bourbonnais, his body’ wasted to half its normal weight from spending a week trapped in a foot-wide trailer trunk with only a few raindrops to keep him alive, looked forward today to a future meeting with the bully who locked him up and left him.

David, the nine-year-old son of a 'veteran of Tarawa, was found yesterday, just a few yards from his own trailer home, after a week-lot g
