Rumania Begins Talks
With Bulgaria on
Dobruja Claims
Speciol Envoy Returns
With Hungoy's Terms
On TronsyIvonio
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BUCHAREST, Rumania, Aug. 8.
-Rumania, opening territorial ne
gotiations with Bulgaria today at
Craiova, hoped to hold her neigh
bor's claims on the province of
Dobruja to q minimum by arguing
that . permanent peace can be at
tanned only through compromise
and sacrifice on both sides.
At the same time, Raoul Bossy,
special Rumanian delegate to H'n-
gary, WIS expected to return from
Budapest with Hungarian terms
for settlement Of the dispute over
the Rumanian province Of Trans
sylvania, which Rumania gained in
the breakup Of the Austro-Hu
garian Empire at the end of the
World War.
(In Budapest, a high author
ity reported that BoSsy, in q
half-hour conference with Hun
garian Premier Paul Teleky,
was informed Hungary would
agree to nothing less than ces-
sion of IS per cent Of Tran
sylvania. Ofiicial sources said
Hungary would remain on full
war footing until final settle
ment had been reached)
Press Shifts Stand.
Bucharest newspapers have drop
ped their demands for resistance
to Hungary's claims. Yesterday
they reprinted a Berlin Foreign
Office article criticizing Rumanians
who have assumed an attitude of
false heroism in settling relations
with Hungary"
(The German radio credited
the Bucharest radio with a report
that Rumania is ready to. cede to
Bulgaria the Dobruja districts of
Durostor and Caliacra, but is un-
willing to cede all of the territory.
The report said Bulgaria would
be asked to let Rumanians in that
country return to their native
landD
Action Against Jews.
The pro-Nazi government of Pre-
mier Ion Gigurtu, meanwhile, took
another step in line with Nazi ideol-
ogy in PRONUNCIATION of new law
splitting Rumania's 10000 Jews
into three categories+O Those who
saw active service for Rumania, and
their descendants; 90 those in re-
gions annexed after the World War;
t3) those of the old kingdom who
did not see active service.
Those of the first class now holding
public Office may retain these posts,
but there will be no new appoint
ments. Those of the other two may
not hold public Office or engage in
professions having direct liaison

barred from ruany enterprises.
No Jew may own a farm or other
rural property; those now holding
such lands will lose them to the gov
eminent in return for bonds.
Jews also are barred from the Ru-
manian Youth Organization. This
creates the question of what is to
become Of Jewish school children,
since under the present law all
school children must belong to the
organization.

reached the heights of modern lit

article South of the Border" ap-

The writer is a brother of Julio

Of his first experience on border

The article deals with the terrible
misunderstanding Americans have Of
Mexico and the Mexican people, and
the tragic effects this misunder
standing has brought to Mexicans.
Written with an almost bitter vein
of humor, it points out that Mexico
can never have true independence
or democracy until the United

A Thought for Today
Narrow Gauge Dictatorship

In a remarkably belligerent address
former State Senator J. Kenneth Brad
ley OF Westport told Bridgeport Repub-
licans recently that the COP planned to
end the McLevy regime In the Park City
this fall. He referred to the McLevy
administration as narrow gauge die.
tatorship". All OF which probably didn't
disturb Mayor McLevy very much as his
rule has been termed many things IN
the past few years. Once upon time
Republicans really amounted TO some
thing In Bridgeport as they did all
through Fairfield County, but not since
McLevy took over the reins Of government.
The same might be said, too, OF the DEM
ocrats, although the latter have Jared
somewhat better at the polls In the last
few years. The Democrats even broke
Socialist grip on the Legislature Three
will have to be plenty OF fence-building
within the Republican Party To GUST
McLevy, but perhaps leaders figure that
the recent Democratic flare-up down
there Is encouragement In itself. Then
the fact remains that Mayor McLevy may
be expected To lead a determined fight
for the governorship In view OF his great
showing two years ago.
His protest vote OF 1898 was just
enough TO put Ex-Governor Wilbur L.
Cross on the sideines. 1t was enough
to take the Democrats out of power In
the state. But the question remains IN
many minds whether 1t was enough to
carry over to 1910 and raise the McLevy-
Socialist Party ranks TO the same num-
Der OF votes. There may be some fight
ing, too, to catch on the coattails OF the
Democratic presidential candidate with
the Bridgeport mayor avowing his right
b hold just as much as any candidate.

Jail Farm Project

Whether or not Fairfield County Is TO
be used as yardstick for the jail farm
idea we don't know but the county bud
get for the coming year includes an item
Of $500 which Is to be used for leasing
land within the county that will be used
for this purpose. High Sheriff Edward
A. Plat says that a site will probably be
picked within 15-minute auto ride from
the present jail on North Avenue In
Bridgeport. This plan does not make
any mention Of the county jail In Dan
bury, though, so 1t Is obvious that the
jail farm will merely supplement the
present two institutions and not replace
them.
All OF which indicates that the jail
farm proposal may not reach the stage
of fulfillment for some years yet. There
Is no whole-hearted endorsement OF 1t save
In those circles which have been agitat-
ing for some such plan for years And
these advocates have never been able TO
convince our state legislators that their
plan Is a logical one and should be given
serious consideration. OF course the plan
would eventually end the county jails,
many of which don't deserve that title
any more on account Of their extreme
age and lack OF modern facilities which
one doesn't even deny to prisoner.
Unless the jail farm can actually take
the place of the jail itself 1t Is not prov
ing It's point, according to its enthusi-
astic supporters But even they admit
the need of a few county jails where pris-
oners, awaiting trial, may remain. The
Fairfield County experiment may, after
all, give Connecticut the right answer
to this problem in penology.
