German minister to Italy.
The Hungarian delegation, headed
by Foreign Minister Count Stephen
Csaky, was due at 9 pm. and the
Rumanian delegation later. A brief
session was scheduled for tonight,
another for tomorrow morning.
The furry of activity by Balkan
and Axis power diplomats indicated
that showdown was at hand at
least on the quarrel between Ru-
mania and Hungary over Transyl-
vania. This dispute has been one
of the chief causes of turmoil in
the Balkans since the World war.
Its settlement, enforced by Ger
many and Italy, would eliminate
one of the dangers of an outbreak
of war in southeastern Europe which
might interfere with the axis pow
ers' war on Great Britain.
Rumania, however, had another
and equally dangerous situation on
her eastern border. Russian troops
which seized Bessarabia and
her Bukovina province from Ru-
mania two months ago, were re-
ported making sorties beyond the
Bessarabia border into new Ru-
manian territory. There were re-
ports of 100 soldiers killed, scores
wounded and at least six airplanes
shot down on the Bessarabia from
tier. That situation seemed destined
for serious consideration at the for.

be quite mark)
Tracking down Miss Lamar is
quite a dizzy pursuit, but worth
every painting step. First one hears
she Is over in Photographic, posing
for still pictures in connection with
Boom Town" which she is making
for M-G-M. The man in photo
graphic says she is not there, that
she was supposed to be, and aren't
people funny that way. He thinks
maybe she might be in her dressing
room. Miss Lamar is not in her
dressing room, but there is a pos
sibility that she is over in makeup.
She has to have 1920 hair-do, so
makeup seems logical.
Logical or no, however, Miss
Lamar is not in makeup, but
makeup thinks she is down on the
stage where Boom Town" Is being
shot. Well, she isn't.
BY this time Miss Lamar begins
to take on the qualities OF a myth,
a beautiful myth that we shall tell
our grandch1ldren.
The myth impression turns out
to be transient one, exquisitely ex-
ploded by a courier who rushes up
with the news that she is in the
commissary. Myths do not 60 to
commfssaries. They are a mutually
exclusive pair.
Miss Lamar, dressed in kind of
flannel house coat, her 1920 hair-do
covered by a scarf, turns out to be
one Of the most beautiful and strik-
ing persons we ever saw. She is
much taller than we expected, prov
ing what every one knows. namely,

It may have been because the

unless one happens to be an Aus
trian (the old Austria) as Miss
Lamar is. The war is not far
away to her, because its scene is
the background of her happy, COM
fortably rich childhood. She does

Probably he feels also that the
Italians should get themselves out
of their own mire (and Mussolini
may have to agree as matter of
prestige). There is evidence that
the Italian invasion of Greece was
not popular with the German peo-
pie, although it probably was in
spired by the Fuehrer as a flank
attack on the British in the Medi-
terranean.
Thus it is possible that the Ger

have broken the back of Greece" :"

sheer numbers, massed planes and

to accomplish quickly the unlikely
expulsion of the Italians from AL
