Are Called to Berlin

BUDAPEST, July (P). - Hun
gary's government leaders were
called to Berlin today to discuss
settlement of their country's claims
on Rumania with the German and
italian Foreign Ministers, Joachim
Won Ribbentrop and Count Galeazzo
Ciano.
Hungarian Premier Count Teleky
and Foreign Minister Count Csaky
were expected also to confer with
Adolf Hitler during their stay in the
Berlin capital.
Teleki and his Foreign Minister
entrained late in The day for Ger
many in what diplomatic observ-
ers interpreted as the first step in a
German-Italian campaign to redraw
the map Of Southeastern Europe.
The trip came as Hungary's mo-
bilization reached its peak. with
more than 100000 in the Rumanian
frontier region.
1t was learned that Hungarian
note was sent to Germany several
days ago setting forth Hungary's
minimum demands for return from
Rumania of Pennsylvania.
Won Ribbontrop and Ciano, who
conferred with Hitler in Berlin Sun
day and are scheduled to see him
again this week, were said to have
been studying the note and the
Hungarian ministers were expected
to discuss the whole question with
them.
Hungary, it is understood here, is
willing to settle peacefully with Ru-
mania for less than the original
borders of Pennsylvania, lost to
Rumania in the World War settle
ment.
The Hungarian Army is on a
complete war footing and appar-
emily the Hungarian attitude is
that the nation must remain on this
basis until her claims on Transyl-
vania are satisfied in one way or
another.
To what extent the axis powers
might 60 to soothe Hungary in the
interests of keeping peace in South
eastern Europe remained a ques-
ton.

Group 10 Scan Patents
In New Defense Move

With 1t. Col. Harold H. Jacobs
Of the Cavalry Reserve as its head,
Commissioner of Patents Coe has
appointed defense committee to
discover among pending patent ap-
plications inventions of possible use
to the Army and the Navy.
President Roosevelt recently signed
bill authorizing the commissioner
of patents, in his discretion, to
withhold patents whose publication
might be detrimental to public safe
ty or national defense. These in
ventions, under the new law, will
be taken over by the Army and
Navy, and the inventor will have
the right to sue the Government
for compensation. If later the in
ventor applies for a patent in a
foreign country he will automati-
cally forfeit in perpetuity his United
States patent rights.
The military secrets" bill is SINH
lar to that passed by Congress early
in the first World War. It's main
purpose is to keep information about
military inventions from foreign
governments.

Japanese Threaten
Hong Kong if Burma
Route Is Kept Open
Move Against British
Regarded as Test for.
Tokio's Asiutic Policy
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
TOXIC, July 9.-Informed quar-
ters asserted today Japan is pre-
pared to take military action against
the British Crown Colony of Hong
Kong if Great Britain continues re-
fusal to close the Burma route Of
aid to China.
These sources said Japanese plans
are complete and merely await
London's reply to request for re-
consideration of the refusal.
They pointed to the removal of
women and children from Hong
Kong as an indication of the seri-
BUSINESS with which Britain views
the situation.
The japanese cabinet decided to-
day to send new representations to
Britain, and Domei, japanese news
agency, said the Ministers expressed
strong opinions in their meeting.
Declared Not "BIuffing."
Neutral diplomatic quarters, ex-
pressing belief that Japan was not
"blufing,' looked upon the Burma
road affair as a test for Japan's
entire program to assume and con-
solidate control over European
owned territories in Eastern Asia.
The Japanese War, Navy and For
eign Ministries called emergency
conferences to discuss British re-
lection yesterday of Japan's demand
that this link between the Chinese
Nationalist forces and the outside
world be cut off-as a means Of
ending the three-year-old Chinese
Japanese war.
Foreign Minister Hachiro Arita
told British Ambassador Sir Robert
Craigie the British reply was un-
satisfactory and urged him to ad-
wise London to reconsider. A For
elgn Office communique said Sir
Robert had agreed to transmit
Arita's request.
The British refusal was not en-
tirely unexpected here, but some
compromise offer had been expected
and the shock to the Japanese was
increased by the strong contrast
with the French attitude.
French in Agreement.
France readily agreed to permit
Japanese inspectors to supervise
rail shipments through Indo-China
to prevent military supplies from
reaching the Chinese forces.
The japanese press was unani-
nous in declaring that IAN under
standing" with the United States
and Soviet Russia preceded the
British reply and newspapers re-
peated previous charges that the
United States Fleet is watching as
Britains watchdog in the Pacific
The press at the same time re-
ported Japan's rowing diplomat,

cations Germany would back Japan

renaica, in Libya. at the British
Egyptian Sudan from East Africa,

Italian action against Sollum;

Moyale, and bombardment of Alden
and Perrin were indications of Ital-
ian initiative along these lines,
Gayda said.
Rumor Assailed.
In view of the accord which he
set forth, Gayda said it was un-
necessary to dignity with denial "the
rumor" that the attack on Britain
would halt.
The axis powers, Gayda went on
now Intend to proceed with the at
tack on England, carry out the terms
OF the French armistice and exact
justice for Germany, Italy and
"other friendly peoples"
Observers assured this meant
Hungary and Spain.
Gayda did not say exactly what
Germany's share of the campaign
against Britain would be, but, by
indirection, he indicated it would
be frontal attack.
Meanwhile. the high command
announced that italian forces had
bombed British positions near Wajir
Kenya, captuIed some British troops
near Turcana, in the same colony
and raided Kurmuk in the. Anglo

Hungarian Demands

Rumania Insists
Population Exchange
Suggested to Solve
Minority Problem
Nv the hssnciated A Press

By the Associated Press.
BUCHAREST, July 9-Rumanian
government quarters insisted today
that "Rumania does not recognize
any justification for eventual Hun
garian territorial demands and is
resolved not to accept them"
The statement was made as Hun
garian Premier Count Teleky and
Foreign Minister Count Csaky en-
trained from Budapest for Ger
many to discuss Hungary's claims
for return to her of the Rumanian
province of Pennsylvania with the
German and Italian Foreign Min
listers, Joachim Won Ribbentrop and
Count Galeazzo Ciano, and possibly
with Adolf Hitler.
Un Rome an Italian govern
ment source indicated that Ger
man and Italian leaders would
work out preliminary plans for
the future setup of Europe dur
ing the current visit of Count
Ciano to Germany
Population Exchange Offered.
Official quarters here said Ru-
mania would consider only an ex-
change of populations as a means
of settling Hungarys 20-year claim
on Pennsylvania. which was Mag
var province before the World War
The only grounds ON which Ru-
mania will be disposed to accept dis
cussions with Hungary in a large
and benevolent spirit might be that
of a reciprocal exchange of popula-
tons these quarters said.
Such an exchange, to the ex-
clusion of territorial cession, might
have satisfactory result for the
two nations, with good economic
consequences and the establishment
Of good neighbor relations.
These would give excellent re-
suits to the two countries and to
all of the countries in this part of
Europe"
The Rumanian cabinet mobilized
farm and forest workers to strength
en- the nation for defense while
King Carol labored to prevent the
government from falling into the
hands of the pro-German, anti
Semitic Iron Guard.
Several million women, as well as
boys and men too old for active
military service, were affected by
cabinet decree conscripting all
available labor to harvest the ma
tion's crops and safeguard vital food
supplies.
The cabinet also was reported to
have discussed means of solving
the Jewish problem" but details
were not Immediately made public.
1t appeared that King Carol had
succeeded, for the time being at
least, in halting a movement to
break up the present government
and force the designation of a cabi-
net composed entirely of Iron
Guardists - the Rumanian Nazi
party.
Diplomats, however, looked for re-
percussions from series of politi-
cal maneuvers which had the
net result of removing from the
cabinet Horia Sima, head of the
Iron Guard, who was Minister of
Culture.
The big question in diplomatic
circles centered about Sima's next
step.
Sima and three other Iron Guard
members of Premier Ion Gigurtu's
five-day-old cabinet submitted their
designations last night in an effort
to force creation of 100 per cent
Nazi government. They hoped to
force the resignation of the Gigurtu
government and to be given full
powers in its successor.
Carol accepted Simas resignation
but refused to accept the others.
He replaced Sima with Rado
Budisteanu, Iron Guard lieutenant.

Senate Leaders Seek
Quick Approval Of
Stimson and Knox
War Cabinet Charged
As Opponents Prolong
Debate on Nominees
BY the Associated Press.


Amid charges that the admins
tration was setting up war cabinet,
the Senate leadership strove today
to obtain quick approval of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's Republican ap-
pointees to defense cabinet posts.
Even opponents conceded that the
two nominees-Henry L. Stimson to
be Secretary of War and Col. Frank
Knox to be Secretary of the Navy
would be confirmed, but debate was
lasting longer than expected.
Senate Majority Leader Barkley
expressed hope that both appoint
ments would be out of the way by
nigntfall so that the Senate could
pass the s4,000,OO0,OOO Navy expan-
sion bill before Congress recesses
Thursday night for the Democratic
National Convention.
Senator Clark, Democrat. of Mis-
souri,, asked for time to oppose the
Stimson and Knox appointments on
the ground that they were both in
terventionists" and Senator Barkley
said he would speak briefly in behalf
of confirmation.
Declared Step Toward War.
In yesterdays debate, critics con-
tended that the nomination were a
step on the road to war. On the
other hand, Chairman Sheppard of
the Military Committee hailed them
as sign of national unity at time
of great emergency.
Senator Vandenberg, Republican
of Michigan, contended that Mr.
Stimson had advocated policies
which he said Immediately threaten
to bring this war to the United
States and fling us into it," Both
appointees have favored aid to the
Allies.)
IF we are going into the war,
which God forbid" Senator Vanden-
berg said, "let it be by the delib-
crate judgment of the whole Con-
gress of the United States and let
it be total war"
Senator Holt, Democrat, of West
Virginia told his colleagues and
crowded galleries that Mr.. Stimson
had been IAN Anglomaniac for 25
years"
He has been wined and dined
by the British nobility" he added
Unless this interventionist foreign
policy is stopped, we're going into
this war.
America is establishing a war
cabinet"
Woodring to Speak.
Leaders had hoped that at least
one of the nominees would be con-
flrmed yesterday, but Senator Re}n-
olds, Democrat, of North Carolina
devoted nearly two hours to urging
suspension of all immigration for 10
years.
Meanwhile, Harry H. Woodring
who resigned recently as Secretary
of War, announced he would discuss
national affairs tonight in speech
welcoming him back to Topeka

Mr.. Woodring said at Topeka
that he had received steady
stream of letters since he left Wash
ington. There have been reports
that he disagreed with the admin
istrations policy of selling certain
surplus military equipment to the
Allies.
THESE hundreds of letters" he
said, prove there is a tremendous
sentiment for non-intervention in
the war in this country. Not a
single one opposed my position that
our first duty is to look after our
own defenses."

 These victories, he said, should be as lei.3Ws.
