Hungary,s military occupation of the eastern tip of the dissolved repub- lie.
 Hungarians May Lose
 official sources made 1t clear that the German troops will march into Carpatho- Ukraine if the Hungari- ans fail to gain complete cCrtrol of the situation within a short time. There are large numbers of Slo- walks, whom Hitler has promised to spYotect," in western Carpatho- Ukraine.
 Hitler may return to Berlin, by way of Vienna, tomorrow night or Monday to summon the Relchstag to meet next week to hear hun dis cuss the new protectirates.
 Elaborate preparations were made in Vienna, where Nazi hombers cruised overhead in parade forma- ticn, to welcome Hitler on the post poned celebration of the first anni- yersary of Austria's union with the Reich.
 Warsaw Very Uneasy
 In Warsaw, the Polish govern ment obviously was uneasy rePard- ing the next move to be made by Hitler in the troubled European pic- ture. Nazis never have left any doubt that they want to incorporate Danzig, a free city in the Polish corridor, into greater Germany. They want, too, the Polish cor ridor which was carved out of Ger man territory after the World War to give Poland an avenue to the Baltic Sea.
 Nazi eyes also have been turned toward Memel, an autonomous state under Lithuanian sovereignty or the Baltic coast. By seizure of tho e two areas, Germany would further en- circle the Polish state, which has long feared an attempt to stir up an independence movement among her big Ukraine population,
 Rumania Sees Danger
 In Bucharest, the Rumanians nervously discussed the danger of new wars in Central Europe as their massed frontier troops watched the Hungarians completing occupation of Carpatho- Ukraine. Jews with drew savings from the banks and there were fears of new attempt by the Iron Guard anti-semitic or- ganization - which King Carol has ruthlessly suppressed - to seize power.
 In Belgrade, the Jugoslav cabinet, which l,cently wa5 purged of pro- Nazis, watched developments close ly in view of the long-standing de- 1nands of the Croats for greater independence. Italy has not been hesitant to encourage the Croatian unrest, which is in an area not adjacent to the Fascist frontier and mighty conceivably result in an appeal for Italian aid as Slovakia appealed for Hitler's protection. Even in Switzerland, the fears of tho future were mounting and gov- ernment officials of that tradition ally neutral nation were prompted to declare that the Swiss were ready to fight if necessary to maintain fheir independence.
 Italy Is Much Feared
 Actually the fears of Britain and France - and the subsequent action of the two powers to strengthen their position were due more to tke prospect for an immediate Ital-

it, as an American citizen, but the
White House cOnspicuously thinks
that it was darned poor diplomacy
as a cabinet member.
1t tended strongly toward putting
F. D. on the spot-compelling him
to say O. K to Henry, or else to say
nothing doing"
Well, the solution is, lit was ILL
timed"
That isn't very satisfactory, either.
Republicans Pretty Decent.
When the war started President
Roosevelt appealed for an adjourn
ment Of party politics.
c.. O. P. senators and representa-
tives have been pretty decent about
it. Anti-NeW Deal Democrats (Who
are as much opposed to F. D. as the
Republicans are) have been political
ly very civilized also. The White
House, it's we'll known, has appre-
ciated it,
Then along comes Secretary Wal
lace with the suggestion:
"NoW's the time, while we've got
things in hand, for a third Demo-
cratic presidential term"
It makes the Republicans sore ma
turally.
The administration, just as ma
turally, considers it about the limit
in tactlessness.

1t looks now as though it might
make Secretary Wallace's position IN
the cabinet impossible. He hasn't had
good luck at ii anyway.
The farm situation, for some rea-
son or other, hasn't improved dur
ing his term OF office. 1t was awful
before he was sworn in, for that mat
ter but it still is diabcl,cal-punk Tor
all crop prices.
Theoretically his program is ad-
mirable, but it hasn't Worked-that's
ALL
Henry Wallace personally is a good
scout.
It's a shame that his scheme has
fizzled. But it has, nevertheless.
Now the administration is on top
of him-and for the paradoxiCal rea-
son that he's too much pro-admin-
istration.
Henry has been overly loyal. He
talks too much.
He's been talked about as a presi-
