Many Political Interpreta.
ti0nS Arise From Meetings
and Trips.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
VIENNA, October 17-Across the
chessboard Of Central and Southeastern
Europe political and key figures lately
have been moving with bewildering ra-
pidity.
Three kings and q half dozen foreign
ministers have met or criss-crossed
paths In recent weeks, and dozens Of
conflicting interpretations have been
launched as to the underlying motives
Of each move.
The principals themselves have been
uncommunicative.
The widest interest attached to q re-
cent brief meeting of King Boris of
Bulgaria and King Alexander of Yugo-
slavia at Belgrade railway station and
a subsequent interview between them
at Euxinograd.
In view Of Alexander's relations with
France and Boris with Italy, the meet
ing was hailed In some quarters not
only as evidence of q Yugoslav- Bull

garian Impeachment, but Q reconcilia-
ton Of Franco Italian arms In tha
Balkans.
Likewise, . recent little Entente con-
ference at Sinaia, beside accentuatins
the solidarity Of Yugoslavia, Rumania
and \Czechoslovakia, offered hope for
the future cooperation of all Danubian
countries and seemed to be forecast the
final LIQUIDATION Of the Bessarabian
barrier to cordial Russo -Rumanian rela-
tions.
Yet here again q sour note was that
the first time Soviet flag was hoisted
in Bucharest 1t was torn down and
burned by demonstrators.
Attention also has been drawn to
Premier Julius Goemboes Of Hungary
who has been in Rome, Berlin and Vi
emma and plans soon to travel to
Ankara, Turkey, and Sofia. As yet he
has made no gesture to the Bucharest
or Praha governments.
Nor has Dr.. Eduard Benes Of Czecho-
slovakia had any conference In Buda-

Austria and Czechoslovakia, mean
while, are In the midst Of critical
transitory period involving drastic re-
vision Of the status Of political parties
within the state and, In Austria's case,
the form Of the state itself.

four Bulgarians were killed today while
the Rumanian foreign minister, Nicho-
las Titulescu, was in Sofia preparing
for q forthcoming conference Of King
Carol Of Rumania and King Boris.
The disorders occurred in the Dob

MEN CALLED
To TASK
ny International News Service

ern Kentucky coal operators who
failed to appear at hearing of
1nter-union disputes in the field.
In addition. the board had

miners, however, demand their
union be recognized.
The United Mine Workers of
America, chief miners union, has
wage agreements with most of the
anthracite mine operators. Under
terms of these agreements the
operators cannot recognize" an
other union.
The delegation asked the board
TO assume jurisdiction in the dis
pute and rule quickly on the
matter. Those who joined in
making the plea were Thomas
Murphy, publisher of the Scran-
ton Times and the Scranton
Chamber of Commerce; Raymond
B. Gibbs, secretary of the Scran-
ton Chamber; Howard Strong, of
the Wilkes-Barre chamber of
Commerce, and Col. Ernest Smith

Why worry about tomorrow
Or what the dawn will bring,
Just see that your Life today,
Is busy That's the thing!
Why worry about the sunshine
Or if the heavens roar.
Just see that you've built you a shelter
And you'll love it all the more
Why worry if you are mlucky
And things don't come your way.
Just try on, strive on, always
They're coming your way some day.
Why fret if you're been molested
And someone's done you wrong?
Your life is right your mind is high,
So keep on singing your song.
Your song that's come down through
ages,
Your song that's stood all the tests,
Your song that couldn't be mufled,
That lived, rang true with the rest
It's theme is a place called heaven
Its air has never grown old
It chants of life and living
Where mans height black, blue nor

It serves as li-ht to be led by
A beacon that shines through the night
It's hope it's goal. Let US strive for
