Inc agreement Was TepOTIeu W
include German Italian guarantee
of integrity of Rumanian borders
against further Hungarian territor-
ial claims, but official quarters re-
fused to confirm or deny such a
guarantee had been given.
dispatches from Bucharest said
that the arbitration by Germany
and Italy was accepted after receipt
of an ultimative note from the
Reich and on the understanding
that Nazi-Fascist wall would be
erected against further Soviet pene-
tration in the Balkans. The German
wireless reported that Germany and
Italy would give Rumania an abb
solute guarantee of her frontiers
as a result of cesSion of Transylva-
MIA to Hungary and South Dobrudja
to Bulgaria.)
Begin Evacuation
The agreement was signed by the
German, italian, Hungarian and
Rumanian foreign ministers at Bel
vedere palace. 1t was understood
that Rumania would Immediately
begin evacuation of about $1,000
square kilometerS to be ceded to
Hungary.
The new border delineated by the
agreement places Hungary'S frontier
within 100 miles of Bucharest, just
above Kronstadt (Brasov) and it
makes the new Hungarian border
touch the new Soviet frontier, es-
tabliShed With the ceSSion of Buko-
vina to Russia. Previously, however
Hungary touched the Russian bor-
der after Russia acquired the Polish
Ukraine. Under the agreement two
large cities, Grosswardein and Clu1
go to Hungary. Cluj, the metropolis
of Pennsylvania, has a population
of about 100000.
A communique said that the new
border starts southwest of Nagys-
zalonta (Salonta) and runs in a
northeaSterly direction along a line
about seven miles southeast of
Grosswardein (Oradea). Salonta is
on the present Hungarian -Rumanian
border and Grosswardein, inside the
frontier, is about 10 miles from the
border.
From GroSSwardein the border
runs in an eaSterly direction lust
south of the Grosswardein-K -Kalus-

Industrial Conscription Amendment TO
Draft Bill Attacked by wi||kie
AsStep Toward German Type Of Govt

RUSHVILLE, Ind, Aug. 80 CUP
Wendell L. Willkie challenged
President Roosevelt today to take a
stand on the Overton- Russell amend
ment to the military conscription
bill which the Republican president
ial candidate charged would estab-
lish potential dictatorship" in the
United States.
In Hyde Park, President Roosevelt
refused to comment on the amend
ment, but charged that Willkie is
seeking to make political capital
out of the bill to draft American
manpower. Willkie, he said, is at
tempting to draw him into political
discussion on the Overton-RusSell
amendment to the draft bill. He
suggested acknowledging that as a
fact and stopping there.
Willkie had demanded a direct
answer from the President because,
he said, "the issue is the form of
government under which we shall
live the way of life for which we
shall stand" He said he hoped that
Mr.. Roosevelt would not answer
with a quip about how Wendell
Willkie loves property and he (Roos-
evelt loves humanity"

tungsten carDlQe alloys.
Through the activities of the de-
PENDANTS, government spokesman
alleged the government has had to
pay three and four times what it
should for alloys essential to the
wearing qualities of military equip
ment such as guns, shells, tanks,
plane engines, armor plate, trucks
and automotive and railroad equip
ment.
Those indicted will be arraigned
on Sept. 10th.
The indictment, specifically alleg-
ing violation of the Sherman anti
trust act and the Wilson tariff act,
names the General Electric COM
pany, Walter Stearns, its trade re-
lations manager; the Krupp Works,
the Carboloy company of Detroit
and w. G. Ribbins, its president,
and zay Jeffries, chairman of the
board.
The lengthy indictment charges
that the Krupp firm holds the
power of veto over the issuance OF
patent licenses to American manu-
facturers in the making of hard
metal compositions for machine
cutting tools. Tungsten carbide gives
metal five times its ordinary wear
ing qualities.
General Electric allegely paid
Krupp ST., 100000 in 1928 for Ameri-
can rights to the patent and secret
covenants were entered into, ac-
cording to the indictment, whereby
the Krupp firm would not ship
tungsten carbide alloys to this coun-
try and there would be no export
from this to other countries.
The agreements resulted, the in
dictments stated, in a jump in the
price of carbide alloy from S48 a
pound to $435 pound. The present
price is about $205 a pound. One OF
the 200 witnesses told the grand
jury that he had to quote a price
of $4,000 for a certain tool which
should have cost $2,50O to the fed
eral arsenal at Frankford, Pa, be-
cause of the restraint on patent
licenses.
Carboloy company is accused OF
fixing prices not only of the alloy
but OF the tools fabricated from it.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 80.
(UP)-The house rules COM
mittee today approved the
Burke Wadsworth conscrip-
ton bill, designed to impose
the first peacetime military draft
in American history, for house floor
debate starting Tuesday.
The committee agreed to permit
the house military affairs committee
to sponsor if it desires, an amend
ment authorizing government con-
demnation of industrial plants for
national defense, and their opera
ton by the government, 1t manu-
facturers refused to cooperate in
the defense program.
Such a provision was adopted by
the senate. 1t is not in the present
house version of the bill. The house
military affairs committee, however,
is considering the problem of spon-
or substitute when the conscrip-
ton bill is on the floor.
The rules committee granted spe-
cial authority for submission of the
industrial condemnation amend
ment. otherwise it would have been
subject to the point of order that
it was not germane to the bill.
The committee acted after an
