Mihai Enjoys Confidence

BERLIN, Sept. 6.-Informed Ger

new King Mihai enjoys the full
confidence of all Rumanians-which
never had been accorded to King
Carol.
They also declared Mihais eleva-
ton to the throne would "be of great
advantage to Rumania" because
the young rulers Nationahstic SYM
pathies would facilitate putting the
country's political house in order.
These circles said the rift between
Carol and portions of the Rumanian
population had grown to a wide
breach after the latest political de-
velopments, but, nevertheless, they
said they were taken somewhat by
surprise by Carols abdication.
They ascribed it to his failure to
read the signs of the times. The
former King conducted a pro-Brit-
ish, anti-German policy without
realizing the strength of the axis.

Norway Suspects
Nazis Seek Control
OF Ships by Hoax
Legation Here Alleges
Germons Plun to
Broadcast FuIse Orders

The Norwegian Legation here
made public today its suspicion that
the German government plans by a
hoax to seek control of the vast Nor
wegian merchant marine, scattered
over the Atlantic. which furnishes
many of the bottoms for transpor-
tation of supplies to the British Isles
According to a telegram received
here from the Legation in London,
the Germans allegedly have de-
manded that Norwegian shipowners
in Norwegian territory under Ger
man control issue orders to their
captains directing them to neutral
ports. The Germans, the Legation
understands, plan to record these
orders on photograph records and
possibly broadcast them to the Nor
wegian ships at sea from the Ger
man-controlled radio station at Oslo.
THE Norwegian government once
again makes it clear that Norwegian
shipowners have no legal right to
issue such orders" the Legation here
announced.
"The Norwegian merchant marine
has by royal decree been requisi-
toned by the Norwegian govern
ment. It has been placed at the
service of free and independent
Norway. The only authorities who
are entitled to issue orders to cap
tains and officers of Norwegian ships
are the Norwegian Shipping and
Trade Missions in London, Montreal
and New York, or the charterers and
agents which have been duly au-
thorized to do so.
"All captains who act in accord
ance with other orders will therefore
act against the law of Norway and

Military Will Direct
Federal Road Work
With Eye 10 Defense
Highways Suitable
For Heavy Arms
To Be Emphasized
Dy the Associated Press.

Oy tne hSSoCihtcu TIcsS
The Army and Navy will direct
nearly all of next years $275, 600, 900
Federal-aid highway work
John M. Carmody, Federal Works
Administrator, said today that in
the interest of national defense he
would concentrate the 1941-42 pro-
gram on roads and bridges certi-
fed by the War and Navy Depart
ments to be of strategic Importance
Emphasis, he said, would be placed
on reinforcing routes for operation
of heavy new mechanical and mo-
> torized military units.
Mr.. Carmody said the Army and
Navy road program probably would
take almost all the $137 500 900 Fed
eral-aid appropriated by Congress
plus an equal amount from the
States-a total of $275, 100000.
Program Follows Service.
The program, he continued, result
ed from a survey of defense high
way needs conducted by the Public
Roads Administration and State
highway directors at the request of
President Roosevelt. He said the
survey report will be presented to
the White House, perhaps next week
and operations will begin as soon as
Mr.. Roosevelt signs the new Fed
eral-aid Act and approves the sur
vey.
In accordance with this (the
President's) request" Mr.. Carmody
said, particular attention will be
paid to the strength of bridges, the
width of strategic roads, adequacy of
ingreSS and egreSS at urban CEN
ters and the servicing of existing
and proposed Army, Navy and Ma
rine Corps posts and air bases.
IF our highway system is to
function as smoothly as that of
Germany, more than 1000 struc-
turally-weak bridges must be
strengthened, old roads Strengthened
and widened, grades reduced, grade
crossings eliminated and obsolete
structures replaced"
w. P. A. workers, he said, would
do large part of this supplemental
work
No Major New Construction.
Mr.. Carmody said the program
probably would not call for major
new construction. Officials believed,
he said. that the present 10000
miles of hard-surfaced highways
would meet strategic requirements
If properly reinforced. However, he
said, there appeared to be need
for some 5000 miles of access" or
approach" roads.
Mr.. Carmody said it would be the
first time since President Wilson,
in 1916, joined the hands of Fed
eral and State governments in de-
fraying equally the cost of national
highway construction that the
armed services of the Nation have
assumed virtual direction of its road
program.

mott, ex-caddie, who first cracked
this monopoly in 1911 and 1912.
3. The Ouimet miracle at Brook

game spinning to more than a mil

society to the sporting pages.
4. The arrival of Bobby Jones and
