Nurse Assaulted,
Beaten and Robbed;
Assai|ant Sought
Attack Occurs While
Walking Through Alley
After Parking Car

A 47-year-old nurse at the Census
Bureau was criminally assaulted,
beaten and robbed early today by
a colored man, who dragged her into
an alley at the rear OF her home, 919
L street NV.
The attack occurred about 2
o'clock as the nurse was walking
through an alley to her home from
the garage in which she had parked
her car, police were told. A knife
pressed at her throat she said, pre-
vented her from screaming.
The mans description resembles
that of a marauder who strangled a
56-year-old colored woman a fort
night ago in the basement OF her
home in the 300 block of Virginia
avenue Sc. The same man, police
believe, has assaulted several colored
women in recent months.
The nurses assailant robbed her
of a purse containing about 81. He
fled through the alley and the nurse
called police, who began search
of the vicinity.
The victim was admitted to Gar
field Hospital and treated for shock
and bruises on the throat and body.
Police said a couple living in
nearby apartment saw the nurse
struggling with her assailant. They
did not summon aid because the
two persons, glimpsed dimly in the
alley, quickly disappeared from view.

When he spoke in Matthews Park

that persons a few feet away could
not hear him. The audience pressed
around the candidates car, and
police had difficulty in clearing a
path.
Mrs. Willkie, carrying red roses,
was seated beside her husband.

900 Troops Reported
Sent to Rumonio

BERLIN, Oct. 8 R).-Authorized
sources declared today that German
troops are heading down the Danube
River to serve as model army and
instructors in Rumania, but said
they could not confirm Numanlan
reports that the first contingents
already have reached the border.
1t was said that whatever troops
go-or have gOne-are proceeding
by way of the Danube which, as an
international river, would not in
volve the problem of crossing any
neutral frontiers.
These sources said further that
aproximately $4,000 Germans are
being transported out of Southern
Bucovina and Northern Dobruja to
be brought back into the Reich.
These are sections of Rumania ad-
jacent to territory Rumania has
ceded. Northern Bucovina was
turned over to Soviet Russia and
Bulgaria got Southern Dobruja.
The families being taken back
into the Reich were believed headed
for Eastern German regions.

No Complete Air Defense
Is in Sight, British Told
By the Associated Press.

BY tne Associated PTeSS.
LONDON, Oct. 9.-Capt. H. H.
Balfour, Undersecretary of Air, told
the House of Commons today that
a completely raider-proof defense
is not in sight, Notwithstanding that
the barrage protecting London
grows increasingly effective.
Large mass day attacks undoubt-
edly are the major threat to this
country" Capt. Balfour said, but
the enemy has failed to break down
our fighter defense in this major
effort
He declared no system could be
effective to the point that no raider
would be able to get through under
cover of cloud or night.
The answer to the critic who
asks, Where are our fighters to-
day?'" he said, lis that for every
raider a critic sees our fighter de-
fenses have intercepted masses and
thus saved the country's defenses."

Last Of British
Reported Leaving
Posts in Rumdnia
Envoy Expected to Go
Before Nozis Reach
Capital; Break Is Seen
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BUCHAREST, Oct. 9.-The last
British officials who have been
supervising Britains extensive in
terests in Rumania's rich oil fields
were reported leaving their posts
today as the first contingents Of
German troops neared the petro-
leum producing area.
Departure of the Britons was said
to be in pursuance to direct advice
from Sir Reginald Hoare, the British
Minister, following receipt of news
that Nazi forces had crossed the
frontier.
The entire British colony was ex-
pected to leave the country and
foreign observers believed an open
break in British -Rumanian relations
inevitable.
Envoy May Go.
1t was generally accepted that Sir
Reginald-who yesterday asked the
Bucharest government to explain its
stand on the German action-would
depart himself before the main Nazi
forces arrived here
The entrance of the German
troops was reported proceeding
smoothly.
Sc far as could be learned in Bu-
charest, only an advance force Of
some 1000 men had thus far crossed
the border, but other troop trains

ube River barges
High German Army officers were
in conference with the Rumanian
general staff. and the task of CO.
ordinating the Nazi units with the
Rumanian Army appeared to be we'll
advanced.
Troops Plans.
German sources indicated the
Nazi troops expected to be we'll
established in positions throughout
the oil fields within a week.
The first contingents of German
troops entered Rumania by way of
Hungarian-occup Pennsylvania
and were greeted enthusiastically by
the German population at border
towns, where girls tossed flowers at
the soldiers as they detrained.
German officers explained they
had been dispatched to Rumania to
defend" the Oil fields against any
peril and to help the Rumanian
Army attain a high degree of eff
cheney.
Oil Exports Limited to Axis.
Oil men reported the Rumanian
government to be planning to ban
exports of all refined petroleum
products to all countries except Ger
many and Italy
This ban already has been applied
to Greece. The move was inter-
preted generally as of undoubted
military significance, especially as
regards gasoline supplies for Greece
and Turkey, which lean toward
Britain. Both lack refineries.
Since Rumania is reported to have
considerable oil in storage and some
wells capped, it was assumed the
ban was not entirely to insure a
German supply.
Instead, observers believed the
Germans were planning to exercise
economic and military pressure on
Turkey and Greece

Mr. Willkie also took occasion in
the Bronx attack Edward j..
Flynn, chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, and leader Of
the party in that borough.
Here is an administration" he
said, that through its various agen-
cies has held every citizen that it
could UP to scorn, magnified their
minor errors and pretended that it,
itself, was pure. And yet, I say to
you today, that under the leadership
OF Ed Flynn, it is attempting to take
this election by illegal and fraudu-
lent processes and doing that under
the presumed banner of purity. 1t
is a mockery, a mockery.'
Leaving the Bronx. Mr. Willkie
made hurried tour of New York
City, in the course of which he
answered many questions about the
campaign in radio broadcast; ad-
dressed a large meeting in Harlem.
and paused again near midnight to
talk to crowd in 125th street, where
he boarded his special train.
Promises Jobs.
He told several thousand colored
persons gathered in the Golden
Gate ballroom that he would con-
tinue relief for every individual un-
til he gets a job, but said that he
did not think relief 'is what an
American citizen is entitled to-" and
assured them of his ability to create
jobs by stimulating industry.
Mr.. Willkie also repeated the
promise he made, to a colored gath
ering in Chicago three weeks ago
that, if he is elected, Jim Crow de-
partments in Washington will van
ish."
Mr.. Willkie started his automobile
campaign tour today after a talk
in the public square at Stamford.
Riding with the candidate was Gov.
Baldwin Of Connecticut.

Stamford streets. Many persons
carried banners saying. I'VE, the
people, want Wendell Willkie."

NEW YORK. Jan. 24-Twenty.
four leading educators from all Sec
lions of the country said last night
the proposed United States loan to
Finland deserves the support of all
Americans who have the interests
OF their country at heart"
In letter to the New York Times
they declared:
"One must be blind, indeed, to
refuse to see that the United States
has a vital interest in the mainte-
nance of some semblance of law.
public faith and security in interna.
tional society.
IF, one by one. the nations which
seek to observe law and public faith
are destroyed by powerful agrees
sors, it is absurd to suppose that
this spread of international an
archy will have no serious effect
| upon the welfare and security of
the American people.
There is abundant evidence that
Nazi ambition and Communist in
trigue have not ignored the possi-
bilities of the American Continents.
With all this before us it is folly
to assume that the threat of the
disintegration of international sta
bility offers no menace to our own
Republic

Wins Support Of

Throwing his support behind ma

Democrat, of Maryland declared
yesterday that he considered it
"only fair" that the voteless resi-
dents of Washington should have q
voice in national affairs.
The Maryland Senator said even
If suffrage is included in local
reorganization program, he will vote
for national representation for the
citizens of the District, allowing
them to vote for presidential electors
and Representatives in Congress
Senator Tydings made no COM
ment. however, on proposals that
have been advanced to provide for
local government. He said he
had not studied this question and
preferred not to comment on it.
Considers Vote "Only Fair"
Some members of Congress have
expressed objection to national rep.
resentation or local suffrage pro-
posals being included in the re-
vamping program. The Commits
sioners' reorganization plan contains
no suffrage plan.
II consider it only fair" Senator
Tydings said, that the people of
the District should be allowed to
vote for President and to elect
spokesman of their own who will
represent them in the House when
they are assailed or when matters
of vital interest to them are under
consideration"
Senator Tydings. a member Of the
Senate District Committee, made
his comment on national represent
alton while discussing the plans
for reorganization of the municipal
government.
Hopes for Committee Action.
The Senator expressed hope that
"some action" would be taken by the
House and Senate committees in

viding for national representation
for the District.
For several years, Senator Capper,
of Kansas and Repre-
