Repercussions Feared
From CoIinescu SIoyinq

BUDAPEST, Sept. 81 tR.-Ru-
manian diplomats in Hungary said
today they interpreted the assassi-
nation Of their premier as highly
significant just at the moment when
German and Russian troops are ap-
preaching Rumanias northern from
tier"
Maybe the murder of Calinescu
Is only the beginning of something
much bigger" one Rumanian oficial
said.
These Rumanians disclosed that
the Bucharest government had sup
pressed rigidly news of Iron Guard
agitation throughout Rumania
which they said began as soon as
German forces began their east
ward march through Poland near
the Rumania border.
Calinescus assassination today
in Bucharest was followed by action
to seal Rumania from the rest of
the world.
Soon after the Bucharest radio
had announced "a successful at
tempt has been made on the life of
Calinescu," it was reported Ru-
mania's frontiers were closed
tightly by orders from Bucharest.
All telephone communication with
Rumania ceased a few minutes
later. The government radio sta
ton in Bucharest went of the air.

covery of such plots against him,
the Premier steadfastly refused to
have a bodyguard.
It was said that Calinescu-a
small man with a sightless left eye
covered by a black monocle-told
King Carol when the monarch beg
ged him to employ guards:
mo man can escape his fate"

and Premier Calinescu had been
intimately acquainted for many
years and called each other by their
first names.
His death, said Mr.. Irimescu, will
be great loss to the country, but
the fine work he has been doing for
Rumania will 60 on, strengthened
by his martyrdom.
Under the present government,
in which all former political parties
are represented" the envoy added
the country has been making great
strides. We have no unemployment
and our government has a balanced
budget"
The Minister would not discuss
the political background or possible
repercussions of the assassination.
He received news of the tragedy
from the Associated Press and over
the radio, but had no direct word
from his government this afternoon.
He explained that such messages
usually came hours after the news
cables and radiograms, since diplo-
matte kilograms were sent in code
and required longer in transmission
and then had to be decoded. He
expected a message from Rumania
by tonight.
Meanwhile he remained at his
desk at the Legation, scanning
closely the news from Central
Europe, gravely concerned over the
situation.

in the purchasers own ship.

cash and the carg0eS to be carried
in the purchasers own ship.
While apparently expressing ap-
proval Of the idea of the so-called
cash and carry theory for sales to
belligerent nations, the President did
not make any definite demand that
this plan be adopted, or attempt to
say just what the cash and carry
should cover. He did say, however,
that through the maintenance of a
! license system covering import and
export of arms and munitions, such
arms and munitions cannot be car
ried to belligerent countries on
American vessels. This provision, he
said, should not be disturbed.
The President made it clear that
he left to Congress the choice of the
method by which these safeguards
are to be attained; 80 long as the
method chosen will meet the needs
of new and day to day situations and
dangers"
The program outlined today, the
President declared, would not in
volve a step toward war. There
would be less likelihood, he said. of
incidents and controversies tending
to draw this country into the pres
ent war. as they did in the last
war.
In conclusion, the President
recommended that the special ses-
sion confine itself to repeal and re-
vision of the neutrality laws. He
said that he asked for no further
authority from Congress. He asked
cooperation of Congress without
trace of partisanship."
Our acts must be guided by one
single hard-headed thought-keep-
ing America out of this war" The
President then said he invited the
leaders of the two major parties in
the Senate and the House to re-
main in Washington between the
close OF this special session and the
beginning of the regular session
January 3.
This was the Presidents answer
to demand from many sources
that Congress be kept in continuous
session during the period OF emer-
gency.
The congressional leaders, the
President said, have assured him
they will remain in Washington and
he said: Il expect to consult with
them at frequent intervals on the
course of events in foreign affairs
and on the need for future actitN
in this field, whether it be execu-
tive or legislative action"
He promised that in the event of
any future danger to the security
of the United States he would i'm
mediately reconvene Congress In
another special session.
Picturing world confronted with
disaster, the President said it has
become Americas fate to help main
tain in the western world "a citadel
wherein that civilization may be
kept alive"

The second objective-to prevent
American citizens from travelling on
belligerent vessels or in danger
areas he said could be accom-
plished by legislation or by execu-
tive proclamation to all Americans
that any such travel Is at their own
risk.
He said also that a third objec-
tive-requiring the foreign buyer
to take transfer of title in this coun-
try to commodities purchased by
belligerents-could also be achieved
either by legislation or by procla-
nation.
A fourth objective-the preventing
of war credits to belligerents-can
be accomplished by maintaining in
force existing provisions of law, or
by proclamation, he said.
The result, he said, would be to
require all purchases to be made In

So firm were the police that they

Crowds Form Early.
Behind ropes holding people back
from the Capitol plaza crowds
formed early in hopes Of a glimpse
of the President. There were several
hundred hopeful spectators there by
1880 am.
When he reached the House floor
Mr.. Doughton saw an almost bois-
ferrous scene. The loud cries OF
"hellos" and the vigorous hand
shaking was most noticeable on the
Republican side of the House.
Sam Rayburn, the majority leader
and Joe Martin, the minority leader
met on neutral ground in the center
aisle of the House chamber and
shook hands. They symbolized the
no partisanship" aspect of the ses-
sion which was about to open.
Senator McKellar of Tennessee
and Representative SABBATH of Illi-
nois shook hands, looking like twins
both dressed in undertaken suits,
both with wing ties.
For the House session and the
Senate session proper, before the
joint session, the galleries held only
sprinkling of spectators. One of
the first arrivals in the diplomatic
gallery was Nine. Oumansky, the
wife of the Russian Ambassador
who Is in Moscow.
Glass Smiles Broadly.
On the Senate floor, Senators
moved about greeting friends, and
Senator Glass. Democrat, of Vir-
ginia. Oldest member, smiled broadly
as many gathered about his desk.
Then as Vice President Garner s
gavel banged, quiet fell and the Rev
Ze Barney Phillips, Senate chaplain
opened the session with a prayer for
men of good will in the days
ahead. Reading of the President :
proclamation followed, and when q
buzz of conversation sprang up the
Vice President interrupted the clerk
with a sharp reminder:
This is a proclamation of the
President Of the United States.
The House went into session at
1902 pm. The clerk read a photo
static copy of the presidential
proclamation calling the session tc
cope with "an extraordinary occs-
sion"-the war in Europe.
Chaplain Montgomery prayed fol
the enlightenment of the Legislators
in the face of this "disilluSioning'

democracy.
Hne roll was called. The House
adopted q resolution inviting the

ton and adjourned.

would seek to gain committee ap-
proval of measure Incorporating
the Hull provisions in substance.
The Nevadan already has a bill
pending in his own name which
follows the general pattern of the
Hull program, and it is expected
that this might be rewritten and
substituted for the modified measure
passed by the House just before ad-
journment. Senator Pittman pre-
dicted that his committee would ap-
prove bill after two or three days
of discussion. Last summer 1t
pigeon-holed the matter by a vote
of IL to IL.
Reported to have told the Presi-
dent that outright repeal would not
have the support of more than halt
a dozen members of his committee,
Chairman Pittman was joined in
his conference position by several,
including both Senator McNary and
Senator Byrnes, Democrat, of South
Carolina.
Vice President Garner was re-
ported to favor reliance on interna-
ticnal law as a basis for neutrality
policy a position substantially in
agreement with the administration.
The President opened yesterdays
conference with a statement Of
Americas traditional position in
connection with wars abroad. 1t
was his contention that this coun-
try should return to those traditions.
He then gave the conference to
understand that what was needed
was outright repeal of the existing
Neutrality Act. Senator Pittman, in
his answer to the President, pointed
out that the people of the country
took comfort merely from the fact
there is a neutrality law on the
books, and predicted that a mere
blanket repeal could not be put
through Congress. The people, he
said, would fear that the country
was being placed in the same posi-
ton as during the World War, when
eventually America was drawn in.
Landon Favors Stronger Defense.
Mr.. Landon, in a statement to
the press after the conference, de-
clared himself strongly for imme-
diate increase in the Army and
Navy. He made it clear he regarded
this as the best kind of insurance
of keeping this Nation out of war
and also the best insurance if 1t
should become involved. Mr.. Ian
don said:
Nothing took place this afternoon
to change my views. Some weeks
ago in an interview, I said 1 had
never favored the arms embargo
section of the Neutrality Act. Since
that time the European war has oc-
Cured. This makes a changed sit
uation, the effect of which must be
exhaustively considered and debated
along with the other sections of the
act by the Congress. The paramount
object, on which think, of course
every one agrees, is to keep this
country out of war.
In the meantime, I think we
should do everything to strengthen
our national defense, not only the
Navy, but also the Army. We have
been spending billions of dollars and
we do not have an adequate ma
tional defense to show for it. We
should fear God and keep our
powder dry, by which I mean we
should arm forthwith"
