Rev. Mr.. Macoskey said that, mot
until every thinking man and
woman knows the simple facts
about syphilis and gonorrhea, how
to avoid them, and what to do If
infected, can permanent gains be
realized against them"
He said certain health profiteers
are taking advantage of public in
'terest in venereal disease control,
and that exploitation of the un-
wary by quacks, patent nostrum
manufacturers and other un-
scrupulous opportunists, was un-
fortunately all too common.

CONCCRIPnON
 NEEDS SPEEDING

Continued from Page D required on three major measures on which Congress is completing action:
 I. The s5,OOO,OO.OOO total defense" appropriation.
 2. The draft bill.
 3. The excess profits tax bin.
 The same comment = tempus fugit-applies to all three measures, said MT. Roosevelt, and the quicker these things go through the faster 1t will accelerate his planning for the defense of America.
 Conscription packers admitted that adoption of the delay amend ment was a serious setback.
 But they insisted-and even the bitter-end opponents agreed-that the bill would pass.
 Sponsored By Fish
 The House approved the amend ment, sponsored by Rep. Hamilton Fish, R., IN. r., by teller vote of 1855 to 155. It acted as a committee of the whole, under the usual House parliamentary procedure. The amendment was still subject to rat ification on the. final vote but lead- CTS deSpaired of reversing it, and were not sure they would try.
 The amendment would postpone the draft for two months-just long enough, some members commented, for it to fall after the November election-in order to give a trial to voluntary enlistments as a means

Continued from Page D said the matter has not officially been placed before him. pr. Thomas J. Condon, superintendent of schools said yesterday the policy of his de- pertinent would be to "give the par ents chance to think 1t over" pr. Condon explained today that the state law requires children between the ages of and IS to attend school, while there is no obligation for chil- dren aged and 6, although they are accepted in the schools. The super intendent added that the schools are required to be in session 180 days a year, but there is no law re- quiring a pupil to attend any speci- fic number of sessions.
 "The only law Is that children must attend schcool," pr. Condon said.
 Number Is Small
 Miss Louis Butler, principal of East Farm, said today the story in the morning paper to the effect that only three children attended East Farm yesterday was incorrect Miss Butler said several times that many" attended the session, but gave no definite number, other than to say that the number was "still small"
 The striking pupils, together with their parents, assembled before the Rockville school again today, but the demonstration remained order ly. Deputy Supt. of Police Daniel J. Carson said Motor Patrolman James

residence this morning, with his head bowed and tears in his eyes.
 Flight Is Fastened
 The busted monarch and his sweetheart will be accompanied by Ernest Urdareanu, the former Lord Chamberlain, it was stated at the palace. Iron Guardists killed a guard at Urdareanu's palatial home during the night when they attempted to seize the Lord Chamberlain.
 Carol had been rumored under ar- rest but leaders of the Iron Guard were said to be urging that his flight into exile be facilitated in order to save him from demands by extremists that he face punish ment for past suppression - by mass arrests and executions - of Iron Guard leaders.
 officials said that special police protection would be given the train to Switzerland.
 Plans for the departure of Carol disclosed definitely for the first time in recent weeks that Mime. Lupescu was still in Bucharest.
 Trains May Pass
 It appeared that the king and his mistress might travel into exile on a train that would pass that of Queen Helena, Carols divorced wife, on her return to Bucharest. Premier Gen. Ion AntoneScu ape pointed his friend, Col. Alexander Manoilescu to prepare for the re- turn of ouen Helena from Ger many.
 Carol and Mme. Lupescu will leave Bucharest from the Moeo- HhoiAu station, on Q smart bollles ward northwest Of the pace. lrons lcally, Carol had the station built ln 1888 for his own use.
 The king was said to have agreed to give up hb throne only after Anlonescl gave hiIn fuil assurance that the entire army demanded hk abdlcallon. It was baid that Nile chAel wee moved to tears when ins formed, but that neither he nor other ofsselab would bld the former klns farewell at Inc staticn.

of increasing the army to l,1DOOol men. t
 President Roosevelt would be- authorized to appeal for volunteers from 16 to 35 to serve for one year. If the appeal failed to bring lO0.- 900 men to the 'colors within the 60 days, the draft would then be .in- voked.
 No Delay of Draft
 Fish contended that his amend ment would not necessarily delay the draft, and many other speakers praised it as a Democratic way of trying out one-year army enlist ments on voluntary enlistmentS before embarking the country on the "Hitler-like" policy of peace time conscription.
 In vain did Rep. R. Ewing Thom- ason, D., Tex, warn that it would "scuttle the bill" Majority Leader Sam Reyburn reminded the House that SO days meant "the difference between freedom and tyranny for France, Belgium and Holland" Charges that it was mere sugar coating for the benefit of the folks back home" went unheeded.
 The Fish amendment--with the Nichols provision added-was the only one acted on yesterday. When it was adopted, Chairman Andrew Jackson May, D., ky, of the House military affairs committee, floor manager of the bill, called off the fight for the day.
 But he obtained permission to summon the House into session at Il 8. m. today, an hour early, and announced his intention to press the measure to a vote this week even if it required a late session tonight or another on Saturday.

WAR MOVES ON TODAY'S BOARD
tContinued from Page 1O

mand to cede part of Pennsylvania to Hungary. The reason for this anomaly is the promise of Hitler and Mussolini to prevent any furth- CT Rumania dismemberment. That is a guarantee against Russia and with it the Rumanians can be led by Antonescu to hope for Bessa- rabia's and Bukovina's return in years to come.
 Rumania can have no hope that Pennsylvania and Dobrudja will ever be recovered, even though Britain may win the war. The jus tice of Bulgarian and Hungarian claims to the areas that had previ- ously belonged to them would be hard to deny. Rumania must adjust herself to this fact.
 ChamberIain's Views
 Prime Minister Churchill yester- day said he had always thought southern Dobrudja ought to be re- stored to Bulgaria and he added he had never been happy about the way Hungary was treated after the World War. This pronounce ment has much significance, for it is the first intimation of what Britain is prepared to accept in postwar territorial establishments.
 MT Churchill asserted that Britain never had claimed there could be no territorial changes in Europe, but they must take place with the free consent of all concerned. Rumania gave consent to the transfers to Hungary and Bulgaria and it is not likely that Antonescu will raise the question of the consent being 'free," now or hereafter.
 German influence in the Balkans must always be subjected to Russian resentment. It is possible, however, that the war, if claims against re- cent Rumanian seizures of British interests are satisfactorily adjusted, Great Britain may not be antago- nistic to legitimate commercial competition with Germany in the Danubian regions. Territorial prp- pinquity gives Germany a normal right to attempt peaceful penetra- ton in southeastern Europe, though not military preponderance as a permanent policy.

AEagner an1 Patrolman John Pal matter have been assigned to keep peace at the scene.
 ''The officers are taking no sides in the dispute" Deputy Supt. Car son said, but are keeping things orderly and directing traffic"
 MT. DeLuca said that a commit tee will be officially appointed Sun day night to confer with the State Department of Education. A request for mediation, mailed two days ago, has not yet been answered, MT. De- Luca said.
 Mothers Adamant
 Although MT. DeLuca indicated a peaceful settlement was in the off, ing, he declared that the mothers remain "adamant" in their claim that transportation for "all or none" must be provided. This transporta- iion must further be provided in special busSes and not on the Cheshire busses, MT. DeLuca said the parents will demand.
 Prosecutor Galu1lo said that he believes the truant officer generally does the work of getting the chil- dren to go back to school in the event of a prolonged strike. Edward Donahue, city truant officer, has not been reported at the scene since 8 chorus of booS greeted his appear ance Wednesday as he drove slowly by without stoppng.
 Mayor Vincent A. Scully could not be reached for comment today, but it was understood his position has not changed. The mayor said yesterday he will not confer with the Reidvi1le committee until the children have gone to school.
