ROME, April 20. (UP)-
Diplomatic sources said to-
day that gary had
agreed to offer a non-ag-
gression pact to Jugoslavia
if the latter adheres to the anti
Communist pact and the Rome
Berlin bloc.
Premier Benito Mussolini was
reported to have persuaded Count
Paul Teleki, Hungarian premier,
and Josef Csaky, foreign minister,
to offer a pact to Jugoslavia in
return for continued support by
Italy and Germany of BudapeSt's
claims against Rumania.
Count Galeazzo Ciano will leave
for Venice on Saturday to meet
Alexander Markovitch, Jugoslavian
foreign minister, and communicate
Hungary's offer to him. Ciano will
try to persuade Markovitch that
Jugoslavia should accept because
of two reasons:
l. 1t would remove the possible
menace of Hungarian claims for
return of territory which Jugosla-
via gained at her expense in the
World war.
2. 1t would remove any pressure
Italy and Germany might feel OBJ
liged to place on Jugoslavia should
the latter try to place obstacles
in the way of the Danubian pro-

IA. Court Decides
Another Bond Suit

M. E. Oswald, who sued to force
the Imperial Irrigation district
board to levy a tax sufficient to
meet its bonded debt, was granted
the writ he sought but it was with
held by the court pending settle
ment of the present refunding plan.
'It is ridiculous to to expect the
court said, "the board to levy a tax
far beyond the ability of the peo-
pie to pay" 1t is sensible, the court
continued, "to wait until the re-
funding plan becomes a fact or a
failure"
This is one of series of similar
decisions by Los Angeles judge

refused to accept the 1882 refund
ing plan.
