Bucharest Discovers
Communist Groups;
Many Arrested
Indirect Warning to
Russiu Seen in Tolk
By Antonescu
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Dec 81.
Reports from Bucharest today
said many new arrests had been
made in the Rumanian capital and
that the authorities there had an
nounced discovery of several Com
munist organizations, especially
among railway employees.
A statement by Rumania'S Pre-
mier Gen. Ion Antonescu, declar-
ing Rumania now was guaranteed
by the most powerful nation" in
the world was interpreted in diplo-
matte circles as an indirect warn
ing to Soviet Russia not to attempt
to carry out a reported plan OF
seizing the mouths of the Danube
and moving into Moldavia
German troops and war materials
still moved into Rumania through
Hungary.
The advance guard reached the
Danube on the Rumanian-Bulga
ian frontier Sunday.
The movements conceded with
reports that Soviet Russian troops
were concentrating in Bessarabia,
in the north.
A report from Bucharest said
Gen. Nikola Marineseu, former
minister of national health, had
been deprived of military rank.
German news reports said Nazi
troops in Rumania were supplied
with foodstuffs from Germany and
would distribute food to the poor
est of the RumanianS.
The Rumanian Railways last
night at Bucharest announced can
collation. for an indefinite period
of all trains except three expresses
and 13 local trains. No official ex-
planation was given. No tickets are
being sold to Budapest, Belgrade or
Sofia.
All plane trafic also was stopped.

Iceland Is BOOMING
With War.Business,
} Sailors Report
No AbIe-Bodied Man
Is Out Of Work, Seomen
Say on Baltimore Call
Ey the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Dec. 31.-A busi-
ness boom in Iceland-an islano
guarded now by 10000 British anc
Canadian soldiers-was reported
today by seamen aboard the Hekla
tiny steamer here with cargo OF
fish meal and tales of war-inspired
prosperity back home.
Not an able bodied man among
the estimated 10000 native Ice
landers is out of work, they said
and Reykjavik, the Hekla's home
port of 10000 persons, has taken on
~ metropolitan air with crowded
streets and bustling traffic.
Much of the islands efforts are
turned toward helping to feed Eng
land, the officers said A record
setting catch of herring last sum-
mer conceded with a greatly-in-
creased demand in England for fish
and hundreds of islanders moved to
normally tiny fishing villages along
the north coast to handle the catch
Tons of fresh fish were trans
ported to west coast ports of Eng
land they said, and other tons were
salted and are currently being de-
livered to the British.
Iceland has felt the pinch of war,
however, the officers said. Food ra-
tions have been imposed to provide
more meat, poultry, eggs and butter
for export to England.
The Canadian and British soldiers
arrived last May to guard Iceland
against a possible Nazi invasion.
They swelled the islands population
far beyond its normal size, and the
boom was shortly under way.
The soldiers came completely
equipped, the Hekla's crewmen said,
but their arrival meant higher gaso-
line prices and a resulting curtail-
ment of motor travel by the natives.
The Hekla was the first ship of
Iceland registry ever to call at this
bort.

that German bombers attacked air.

There was no fighting activity

(Britain's Air Chief Marshal

night that equipment now Is
being produced in England which
would knock Germany's night
raiders out of the sky at such
rate they would have to abandon

confidently believe it will not be
very long before all the weight

Bad weather was believed re-
sponsible for the inactivity of the
Nazi Luftwaffe last night. Not a
single German raider was reported
over Britain from dusk to dawn and
the usual morning communique of
the Ministries of Air and Home Sc
curity was limited to laconic:

dicted in Whitehall over what is re-
garded as the inadequacy and in
efficiency of the railways, according
to the political correspondent of the
Laboriet Daily Herald.
Heated Controversy.
DELAYS and dislocation in war
production are the subject OF a
heated offstage controversy he
writes. and then states that all de-
partments concerned place claim
on transport facilities.
Here is the great bottleneck of
the war" he concludes.
It is certainly true that unrationed
commodities such as coal, eggs and
fruit are most unevenly distributed.
In some parts of the country it is
easy to obtain eggs; in London and
other cities 1t is becoming almost
impossible to get them, or, at any
rate. more than two or three at a
time.
Last summer the government
\ warned the people that the strain
on transportation would be great
this winter and advised them to lay
in their winter coal. Many people
did. but others, who were either
bombed out of their homes or evacu-
ated them, find it a problem to get
coal in their new residences
Keep Up to Amazing Standard.
While none here would say that
the railways are the finest in the
world for comfort, speed and pune
tualitv, they have kept up to an
amazing standard. When bombs
fall. the casual observer would es-
innate that a line would be out of
running for days. if not weeks, but
in no single instance since the blltz
started have the railways been out
of action for more than two or three
days at a time, and even then
trains run into London suburbs With
good subway connections.
The number of passenger trains
has been cut down but not to a
degree which makes it at all difficult
to get about the country. Nor, so
far as it is possible to see, have
passenger trains held up freight
trains. 1t is most likely that the
bottleneck is due to heavy demands
on freight rolling stock and to the
.fact that the majority of the i'm
ports are now coming in from West
England, instead of from both east
and west.

ernor of the National Exchange

ceremonies. He reviewed the IL

this city, and cited Wilbur Jones
and Frank Harris as the two char
ter members still in the club.
Retiring president Charles S.
LoWrimore presented Edward
Jones with the credentials of Of
flee and handed him the gavel.
In his acceptance address, Jones
pointed out that Wilmington Of.
fers greater opportunity for civic
endeavors than before. He recalled
the importance of the Wilmington
port during the time of the Civil
war, and emphasized the place the
port should play in the nation to-
day. Citing Wilmington as the logi-;
cal port for shipping in this sec-
ton of the United States, Jones ?
added that the larger boats are I'M
able to enter the harbor. He also
mentioned such projects as the
aviation field that the civic clubs
OF the city should push.
Guest speaker for the meeting
was M'Kean Maffitt, who discussed
fire prevention as applied to the
entire year rather than one week.
Care in handling hot ashes,
electric wiring, storing floor mops,
and putting away trash will do
much to reduce the fire hazard"
said Maffitt. If each family will
eliminate the possibility of little
fires, the community need never
worry about large ones" o
Maffitt pointed out that more

The too-squarc line OF a head,
usually accompanied by a short, full
neck, needs consideration. too In this
case, hair should never be fitted too

These only emphasize squared-off

ments is to cut the hair short. brush
it up, and let it flare or curve nat
urally. Or put permanent in it to
achieve the same results. Where the
hair is worn long, twisted vertical
rolls in the back will give rounded
lines and more up-and down length.
A matching front arrangement is to
wave the hair up from the brow in
vertical direction. and carry it back
to the crown.
If there are ridges in the back of the
head and the hair grows too low over
the brow, begin the corrective treat
ment in front You can expose more
