that only few Nazi bombers were

Of these several were held in

Meanwhile, British coastal guns,

Three minutes later the second

the third set sail after a similar

Until the sailing, every move
concerning the vessels had been

Wet union called youths of 18, Is

At the same time, troops and
junior officers of earlier classes
who had completed their regular

were released and placed on the

The newspaper Moscow Bolshe-

Short Says Passage Will

Are More Effective
WADSWORTH REPLIES
House Is Scheduled To
Take Up Amendments To
| Conscription Plan Today

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-R-
Peace-tirne military conscription,
was denounced as t'Nazi-ism" in
the house today and advocated as
a bulwark against aggression from
abroad.
Pacing the well of the house,
Rep. Short (R-Mo) contended that
passage of the senate-approved,
Burke-Wadsworth measure would
constitute a confession that the
methods of Hitler are more effec-
tive' than those of democratic
America. His speech was applaud
ed loudly.
Wadsworth Replies
Replying, Rep. Wadsworth (R-
N.Y., co-author of the legislation,
told the house that 1--WE cannot af-
ford to adopt a wait-and-see poll
cy," adding hat "others have done
that, and they have perished."
- A few misses mingled with cheers
in the galleries as Wadsworth took
his position to speak. When he
concluded 20 minutes later, he was
given a standing ovation and pro-
longed applause by bottle republi-
can and democratic members.
The spectators, intensely parti-
san on the conscription issue, were
repeatedly admonished by the pre-.
siding officer against giving vent
to their feelings. Nevertheless, they
frequently disregarded the warn
ings, especially when the house
itself burst into applause. Rep.
Warren D-NC), who was presid.
ing, finally served notice that an
other demonstration would result
in election of the offenders.
Women Present
The spectators included a num-
ber of women; opposed to the legis.
lation, who sat in a front row
draped in black netting.

cratic institutions.
Wadsworth pleaded that the
country $50 fashion our defense
t. PRPpa. -. Ri shrdlu cmfwy-
that we will be masters of our
own destiny-and that think we
can do"
Among other speakers of the day
Rep. Faddis O-PO said that Ber-
lin, Moscow, Tokyo and Rome
we're tuning i'm on the house de.
bate and we're hoping that this
democracy would run true to form
and delay this bill until it's toe
late to provide for our national
security
Rep. Marcantonio (Al-NY) as
serted that the bill would "cata-
pult this country into war;"
And Mrs. Clara G.. Mcmillan,
who not long ago succeeded her
deceased husband as a member
of the house from South Carolina,
received a long rising ovation for
her statement that ''if and when
my sons must go to the defense
of their country, I don't want them
to go unframed and unskilled."
The days discussion-the Sec
ond of general debate brought
the house to the point of amend
ments, to be taken up tomorrow.
One of the first controversies to
be disposed of is to be that of the
age limits of the men to be drafted.

LUPEsCU IS oUSTED
General Takes Oath OF Pre-
mier And Plans Started
To Form New Cabinet

BUCHAREST, Sept. o.
(Thursday)- (AP) king
Carol of Rumania bowed to-
day before iron-willed Gen.
aral Ion Antonescu, the man
he chose to restore order in
Rumania, and relinquished
the bulk of his powers by
giving the general supreme
authority to rule his shrunk-
en- kingdom.
After an all night confer
ence, during which General
Antonescu refused to become
premier under any other
conditions, a royal decree
was issued at dawn. It dis
solved parliament, suspended
the, constitution and gave the
hard-fisted general the su-
preme power.
Kings Rights
The king reserved, for him
self only the rights to con-
fer decorations, commute
sentences of criminals and
negotiate conventions with
foreign governments. He also
will be commander-in-chief
of the army. His ministerial
appointments must have the
premier's signature.
Basic Demand
Diplomatic dispatches fr o m
Bucharest to Belgrade, Yugoslavia,
said the basic demand laid down
by General Antonescu was that
Magda Lupescu, titian-haired friend
of King Carol be banished from
Rumania.)
General Antonescu Immediately
took the oath as premier when the
king acquiesced to his demands.
The new cabinet was expected to
include Juliu Manu-, peasant lead
er who bitterly opposed the kings
decision to yield to the Vienna Set
tlement which gave Hungary about
half of Transylvania, and a number
of generals and iron guardists.

Carols friend leave the country
was understood to have been reach
ed after his long conferences yes
terday afternoon with army lead
ers and Magyars. The latter, as
well as the army chiefs, openly
have fought her throughout the
years as welding influence too
strong behind the throne.)
Carol and General Antonescu had
talked for hours in the royal palace
as the monarch attempted to per-
suade the general to reconsider his
decision not to accept the premier
ship unless his conditions were
granted.
Then, at dawn, came the start

eral had won.
Calls General
King Carol called the general to
the palace after, it was reported,
Antonescu turned down the post
because the king would not meet
certain drastic conditions"
Meanwhile, troops with gas
bombs were sent to Brasov early
.oday with orders to recapture the

change from iron guardists who
