Caro-, Back From Talks,
Reports to Ministers

BUCHAREST, Jan. 13 lR.-King
Carol Of Rumania, back from a
secret conference with Regent
Prince Paul of Yugoslavia,. gave
his ministers confidential report
presumably on the question of Ru-
mania and Yugoslavia joining an
italian neutral front in Southeast
ern Europe.
The heads of the two states met
two days ago at Vrsac, near the
frontier, together with Crown Prince
Mihai of Rumania and the Yugo-
slav premier, Dragisha Cvetkovich.
Authoritative circles said the royal
leaders agreed that any Russian
advance into Southeast Europe
would constitute a common dan
ger" while Italy and her ally, Hun
gary, might supply valuable aid in
resistance to such Russian move
Rumanian governmental spokes-
men reiterated that not one. inch

any power.
However, there were many pri-
vate expressions of the belief that
Rumania might we'll afford to agree

Balkan Conference
May Provide Chance
To End Differences
Hungary and Bulgaria
Believed Likely to
Be Present
By RICHARD MOWRER,

chicsgo Daily News Foreign Correspondent.
ISTANBUL, Jan. 13.-That Hun
gary and Bulgaria will be present,
At least as interested observers, at
the meeting of the Balkan entente
group in Belgrade February 2 is
viewed here as a distinct possibility.
italian diplomacy on the one hand
and Turkish diplomacy (backed by
the allies) on the other, seem to be
working along parallel lines toward
this end.
Italy, 1t is suspected here, has at
tempted, perhaps successfully, to
convince Hungary that the. Russian
menace is such that Balkan quarrels
should be shelved, at least tempo
rarily, in favor of Balkan unity
against possible invasion and war.
Numan Menemencioglu, general sec
retary of the Turkish foreign Office,
who is visiting Sofia, is thought to
be making a similar suggestion to
the Bulgarians.
y At the same time, special signifi-
canoe is attached to the stopover
In Bucharest of the Bulgarian
finance minister, Dobri Bojilov, re-
turning from Moscow trade talks.
II Hungary and Bulgaria can be
persuaded to attend, the Balkan En-
tente Conference may take on the
proportions of sort of peace con-
ference at which serious attempt
would be made to settle Balkan
differences.
Commofi Balkan Interests.
The Balkan States have one thing
in common: Fear of being drawn
into the war. The solution of Balkan
problems depends on how pro-
nounced this fear is. To date, the
attitude of the Balkan entente group
toward revisionism in favor OF
Hungary and Bulgaria has been in
transigent. And the clamors of
Hungary and Bulgaria for Justice
have been just as loud as ever.
AS late as November, Hungary's
foreign minister. Count Stefan
Csaky. in speech referred to Hun
garian claims for the return Of
Transylvania from Rumania. For
eign Minister Grigore Gafencu,
speaking for Rumania. curtly sug-
gested that Hungary might well di-
rect its attention to the Soviets,
newly arrived on the Hungarian
Carpathian frontier.
The Bulgarians have presistently
demanded an outlet to the Adriatic
and the return of South Dobruja.
The latest Balkan tendency seems
to be for Yugoslavia, supported by
Italy, to act as mediator between
Hungary and Rumania, with Turkey,
supported by France and Great Brit
ain, as mediator between Bulgaria
and Rumania.
Turks DiStrust Italians.
Although Italy and Turkey seem
to be working along parallel lines in
the Balkans, the Turks are inclined
to distrust the Italians. Turkey re-
sents Italys self definition as Bal
kan power and resents the Italian
foothold in Albania and the Do
decanese Islands within sight OF
Turkish shores.
The Italian action with Hungary
is regarded as directed against Rus
sia and Germany rather than Rus
sia alone. Italy apparently is in the
transition stage between leaving its
axis partner and joining the allied
camp by way of supporting the for
nation of a Balkan bloc. BY trying
to prop up Hungary and Yugoslavia,
Italy is covering its retreat from the
axis and its temporary isolation
Such, at least, is the impression
here.

spoke briefly.
Wolter Explains Aims.
Mr.. Wolter explained that the
article was written mot to criticize
enforcement agencies, but to expose
conditions which can be improved
by all of us working together"
Ray L. Huff, superintendent OF
District penal institutions, reviewed
improvements at Lorton Reforma-
tory and told of progress in medical

 DayboOk
By Jack Stinnett

WASHINGTON - Thoughts for today:
 Sen. Willard K. Tydings .Md.): The information as to the stren gth of Germany's planes has been in the hands of this Govern ment for five years, four years, three years, two years, one year. As 1t has been in the hands of the French, the Polish, the Hun garians, the Czechs and al other governments. The thought was that, no matter what happened in the whole world, we would not have to prepare here"
 Robert H. Jackson, Attorney General of the United States, dis cussing the strength and weak ness of democracy: Even if free dom does develop man of great CT initiative and strength, if they forever pull in oposite directions there is no collective strength. Two strong men who cancel each other are not equal to two dumb men who pull together"
 Sen. Claude Pepper (the Talla- hassee flash): When Hitler was poised to strike his deadly blow, the Prime Minister of Great Brit ain (Chamberlain) said, Hitler has missed the bus I think that statement will go down in history as perhaps the most descriptive statement any statesman has ut tered showing a total lack of un- derstanding of the kind of war we face and the kind of world ours had become"
 Authors note): Senator Pep per is the spearhead of the drive for total defense' and total aid-short of war" to the forces fighting Nazism. Since the de- fense drive started hardly a day has passed in which he did not make one or more speeches. He has been in hot water almost constantly with that Senate ele- ment which might be termed con servative in it's approach to pres ent world problems.

Naugatuck, April 19. - The bor- ough courtroom is expected to be damned tonight at 8 o'clock when the board of warden and burgesseS will meet in a special session. The main interest centers in whether or not appointment of fire chief will take place.
 It seems certain there will be at least an attempt at appointment. Rumors that Warden John J. Sher- idan will receive strong support for the post have been prevalent this week and it is expected tonight will show whether or not these are correct.
 If Warden Sheridan is appointed, 1t will be momentous meeting for he would undoubtedly resign as war den, a post he has held until 1884. His term of office is not up until May, 1941.
 There were conflicting rumors prevalent today on the fire chief post and only the melting itself tonight will clarify the issue.
 It is expected the board will first act on a budget proposal for the new fiscal year. It is probable a budget of approximately $548,OOo will be adopted.
 That action on the budget will be taken seems certain, as tonight IS the deadline for approval by the board. It is not likely that there will be any fireworks over this.
 It is probable the discussion ana suggestions concerning the ire chief appointment will provide plenty of excitement.
