Axis to Mediate Hungarian Romanian Border Dispute at Vienna
At Vienna on August 28 1939 Hungary and Romania opened peace parleys under Axis supervision with Premier Teleky and Foreign Minister Csaky meeting German and Italian ministers. Romanian Foreign Minister Manoilescu arrived, as Ribbentrop and Clano held talks prior to any four power table. Authorities signaled a careful, spirit of cooperation approach, while Romania accused Hungary of hostile air actions and Hungary retorted with claims of Romanian reconnaissance flights. The session mirrors the 1938 Vienna settlement between Hungary and Czechoslovakia and indicators suggested broader discussions may follow.

Conscription Machinery Plans for Large Scale Mobilization
Washington August 29 The army moves to start the largest peacetime force mobilization in U.S. history with a Roosevelt order to mobilize the national guard and a Senate approved conscription bill. Plans call for 55 000 guardsmen for training by Sept 15 and 175 000 by Dec 1, with total conscripts reaching about 400 000 by year’s end and further half year contingents through 1944. The process includes registration, classification, and a drawn sequence to determine calls, with exemptions and medical exams as required. Guardsmen with dependents may resign, those under 18 discharged, and reserve officers drafted as needed.
