Jewish Songs Forbidden.
Iron Guard Leader Horia Sima
Minister Of Culture in the new gov
ernment, forbade Jewish actors and
musicians to perform in public and
prohibited the playing of Jewish
songs and music.
1t was announced also that Max
Ausnit, Rumanian steel and NUM-
tlons millionaire, must serve a SIX
year prison sentence and pay a fine
OF 250,000,000 lei. (The nominal
value of the lei is about 9.13 cents.
Ausnit, Jew who recently en-
braced Christianity, and one of Ru-
manias leading industrialists, was
put in custody last November in an
investigation of allegedly illegal for
elgn currency operations and was
displaced as director of Resitza, Ru-
mania's munitions trust.
Although Gigurtu spoke of mi
nority," it was said in his behalf
that his denunciation was of the
Jewish people.
The Premier told the country that
the government had decided in the
future to collaborate in close contact
with all those minorities which 10y
ally enter into the life of Rumania J"
Il do not consider as a minority
OF this category" he added, those
who have repaid our good will with
hate and idle words. We will never
forget and we will not tolerate the
people of Rumania forgetting the
attitude which the minority to
which allude had in our last hours
of trial"
Warning Seen in Remarks.
Foreign diplomatic quarters In
terpreted the speech as a warning Of
severe anti-Semitic measures to
come.
Gigurti declared that the inclu-
sion "of our foreign policy in that
of the Rome-Berlin axis is now an
accomplished fact" saying that this
new orientation has become still
more necessary by our domestic pol
icy and our integral nationalism. :"
Gigurti began his broadcast with
the statement:
Our first and most holy duty in
these difficult times is to carry out
the commands of our King in every
respect"
This was interpreted as meaning
that King Carols position is solid
and that he is not going to abdi-
cate, as has been reported elsewhere
in the Balkans.
He gave a hint of confirmation to
reports that his cabinet is planning
extensive naturalization of indus
tries, including petroleum, remark
ing:
Our national economy will un-
dergo great changes. 1t must be

Last night squads of police pa
trolled the streets of Bucharest and
frontier forces in the North and
South of Rumania were being fur
ther strengthened.
There was no fresh indication of
the Reich's attitude toward Ru-
mania, following the formation of
it's new, avowedly pro-German gov
ernment, but diplomatic circles ex-
pressed belief that the entire Balkan
situation may be clarified after

Listen, You Brides!
 Here's the Secret
 Of Staging Parties
By BETTY WELLS

THERE'S fine art to this busi- "A ness of being a hostess. And for the sake of brides just starting out on their careers, here are some of the rules:
 Yourself, first of all. No use to try to put party over unless you are looking like a million. So have a festive dress all ready to slip into at the witching hour. and a sched- ule that permits a last minute primping after you've got everything finished in the kitchen.
 The Whether it's to be a company dinner. coffee and cake on the porch, or iced punch in state. have one interesting touch. Some thing unexpected in homemade cake; sandwich filling that will en, chant the men; a salad that is as beautiful to see as it is good to eat. Ii you have one high point, you can get by with staples for the rest. That makes even big occasion easy to put over.
 The Appointments-Have all the dishes and all the glassware you're going to need sparkling on trays ready to bring forth to set the ta- ble whether it's for buffet supper. formal dinner or tea on the porch. It will save no end of flutter or dish washing during your party. The ideal way is to settle on the kind of entertaining you can do best, then buy enough china or glass to serve as many people as you're like ly to have at once.
 The Decorations - Flowers ar- ranged where they do most good and in colors that do things for the house. From the garden if possible, but when there isn't just the right thing available for the picking, don't hesitate to balance the budget to in. clude some "boughten" blooms.
 The House Itself-Don't try to re- fix the whole place the day before company comes. If you start too many ambitious plans for changes just before the party, you'll get all involved and probably not finish anyway-only make a wreck of yourself. Just clean up enough to be presentable. Be sure there's place for coats and hats and a good mirror for the ladies.
 The Guests-Invite as few as pos. sible just because you think you should.

BEDTIME STORY FOR THE YOUNGSTERS

tail looks twice as big as it really is. Both anger and fear make it do that. But there is only one thing that can make the hair on the head of Farmer Browns Boy rise. and as it isn't anger, of course it must be the other thing, fear.
 It never happened before. You see, there isn't much of anything that Farmer Browns Boy is really afraid of. Perhaps it wouldn't have happened this time if it hadn't been for the surprise of what he found. You see, he had patiently fished down the Laughing Brook through the Green Forest without getting so much as a nibble, and this seemed very, very queer to him, for it had never happened before. Then he had found the heads of some trout on the bank, and this had seemed very queer, too. be- cause they had been bitten off and not cut off with a knife. He knew right away that some one else had been fishing and that was why he couldn't catch any, but the only fish erman he could think of who might bite off the heads of the trout was Billy Mink, and he had never known Billy to do it before and leave them lying around that way. Be hot little Billy Mink could have eaten all those trout. He didn't once think of Little Joe Otter. and so he was very, very much puzzled
 He was turning it all over in his mind and studying what it could mean, when he came to a little muddy place on the bank of the Laughing Brook, and there he saw something that made his eyes look as if they d pop right out of his head. It was right then that he felt his hair rise. Anyway, that is what he said when he told about it after ward. What was it he saw? What do you think? Why, it was foot print in the soft mud. Yes. sir. that's what it was and all it was.
 But it was the biggest footprint Farmer Browns Boy ever had seen, and it looked as if it had been made only a few minutes before. It was the footprint of Buster Bear.
 Now, Farmer Browns Boy didn't know that Buster Bear had come down to the Green Forest to live. He never had heard of bear be- ing in the Green Forest. And he was so surprised that he had hard work to believe his own eyes. and he had queer feeling all over, a little chilly feeling. although it was warm day.
The Nome nugget., 1940-12-25

Somehow he didn't feel like meet ing Buster Bear. The very thought made his hair rise. If he had had his terrible gun with him it might have been different. But he didn't, and so he suddenly made up his mind that he didn't want to fish any more that day. He had a funny feeling that he was being watched, although he couldn't see any one. He was being watched. Little Joe Otter and Buster Bear were watch

 All the way home through the Green Forest Farmer Browns Boy kept looking behind him, and he didn't draw long breath until he reached the edge of the Green For est. He hadn't run, but he had wanted to.
 'Huh!" said Buster Bear to Little Joe Otter. T believe he was afraid!"
 And Buster Bear was just exactly right.

have made of a quarter of Europe.
I'VE want them to be peaceful
and happy members of a peaceful

The prime object of the govern
ment, Lord Stanley said, is ito give
military aid to our gallant allies at
the earliest possible moment to the
maximum extent and on a scale at
least commensurate with the effort
we made in the last war"
The second objective, he said, Is
to avoid the terrible mistakes Of
the last war, when thousands of men
were hurled into battle with insuffi-
cient training"
In reference to the army he said
he had been impressed by what a
great deal already has been done
and by what great deal remains to
be done"
He also emphasized the impor-
tance in the war effort Of export
trade, with which he dealt as presi-
dent Of the Board of Trade until

Misery, Says Stanley
No Lasting Peace, but
Troubled Truce, Seen
In Stopping Now
~ the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEWCASTLE ON TYNE, Eng
land, Feb. 3.-Giving blunt answer
to advocates of peace negotiations,
War Secretary Oliver Stanley de-
clared today that the war must go
on to end forever the power of Ger
many ito inflict upon the world the
misery which twice In our life they
have done"
Vehement in his first speech since
taking Office, Lord Stanley said that
a halt now would bring no lasting
peace but only a troubled truce"
with mo assurance for the present
and no security for the future"
within a few Months, at the
most within few years." he said,
1--WE should find we had not won
peace but had sacrificed victory"
Britain, he said, is ready to grasp
with both hands at peace which
Is both secure and honorable" but
only victory can assure such an end
to the conflict.
Hertzog Especially Attacked.
Lord Stanley singled out Gen.
j. B. M. Hertzog, former Prime Min
lister of tho Union of South Africa,
as one of the advocates Of peace
and an "apologist" for Adolf Hitler.
Gen. Hertzog went out of Office
September after losing a campaign
for a separate peace with Germany
and was defeated recently when he
revived the issue in the Union Par
lament.
Lord Stanley said distance had
lent enchantment" to Hertzog's
views on Europe and suggested that
Eve call as our witnesses not people
thousands OF miles away, but people
q little nearer the scene," for judg-
ment of Hitler.
'Let us go around Europe" Lord
Stanley said, land ask the small
neutral countries If they feel
this confidence in Hitler"
His voice sharp with sarcasm, the
war minister continued:
Are we just little inconsistent?
No. Gen. Hertzog-just 1000 miles
nearer the facts.
Millions of different race, of diff
ferent language and of different
creed bear witness to the fact that
with this man CHitler) leading and
with his nation allowing him to
lead, there will be no peace and
there will be no security for Britain
or Europe or for the world"
Hecklers Cause Fights.
Lord Stanley was interrupted sew
eral times by hecklers, leaflets head
ed War Is in Vain" were showered
from the balcony. Six men were
elected from the hall after fist
fight involving one heckler.
Asking what would have hap
pened to the heckler under the
system we are fighting" Lord Stan
ley declared:
HE would have gone out Of here,
not into the streets, but into
concentration camp"
Lord Stanley said Gen. Hertzog
had put the blame for our troubles
upon the treaty of Versailles" Con-
ceding that the treaty had imper-
fections, Lord Stanley went on:
do you think that a victorious
Germany would give defeated
Britain a treaty Of Versailles?
Shorn of our empire, our fleet and
our trade, we would be a small, over
crowded island, its recovery impos-
