Interests Are Preserved,
Bucharest Insists;
Terms UndiscIosed

By the Associated Press.
BUCHAREST, Rumania, March
discrimination of Rumanian COM
merce as a result of the new trade
agreement with Germany was pre-
dicted by an official of the Ru-
manian ministry of industry today.
He and others asserted positively
that the new business deal with
Germany, signed yesterday, in no
way infringed on political independ-
ence of Rumania.
Terms of the agreement still were
undisclosed.
But you may be sure" the min
istry official said, that Rumanian
interests have been preserved"
Some doubts in this respect arose
from speculation as to how far Ru-
mania had yielded to German ef-
forts to" obtain monopolistic priv
ileges to exploit Rumanian re-
sources.
At the German Legation the un-
derstanding was described as q
common trade agreement which
seems to have attracted an extraor-
dinary amount of attention." pre-
sumably referring to denied reports
that Germany served a trade ulti-
matum" on Rumania.
The Executive Council of the Ru-
manian Party Of National Rebirth,
which for the time being performs
some functions of parliament, was

Chesapeake Bay fishes sniggered up

the bay.
Participants in the Chesapeake
Bay fishing fair, after long hot
day in which every fish connected
with the business end of hook,
were wetted by heavy thunder
storm from the southeast at
about S pm.
All decided to call it a day and
over the ten mile area boats could
be seen heading for shore.
Fish are ION Vacation"
Several fishermen struggled dur
ing the afternoon with small catches
of hardheads, but very few other
species.
"I guess they're on vacation" said
one boat captain who had been hired
because he said he knew where they
were biting.
About $50 anglers registered at
the Annapolis Yacht Club for the
fishing orgy. Three boats toured
the fishing grounds taking other
registrations.
Officials hoped for more partici-
pants tomorrow.
The Coast Guard cutter Calypso
and numerous power boats of the
Conservation Commission patrolled
the fishing ground.
Four prizes were to be given for
today's biggest rock, trout, hear
head and for the greatest variety.

At dawn tomorrow the anglers
will again go to the fishing ground.
The 43 trophies at stake will be
distributed tomorrow night.

Chatfeld is one of the younger

The Viper bounded over that

on a bucking broncho couldn't
have offered rougher treatment.
And there's no spray to sting the
