Communist Regime
In Hungary Stronger
Vienna, May 14. Reports from
Budapest say that the position of tho
Hungarian Communist government
appears to have grown stronger in
the last few days.
The halt of the Rumanian ad
vance has encouraged the Commu
nists who believe that the Rumanians
undertook more than they were able
to accomplish, if their intention was
to reach Budapest. (Official an
nouncement has been mado that the
allied troops, moving on Budapest,
were ordered late last week to halt
their advance by the peace confer
ence). The Rumanians, however,
have effected a junction with the
Czecho-Slovaks and have cut ofT
communication between Budapest
and Russian byway of tho Ukraine.
