War Preparations
By Hungary Reach
Peacetime High
Army Is at Almost Full
Strength; Some as Old
As 50 Are Called
By the Associated Press.

BUDAPEST, July 3.-Hungary's
military preparations reached the
highest peak in her peacetime his
tory today as she pressed long
standing territorial demands upon a
Rumania weakened by Russian in
cursions and domestic strife.
Thousands Of men-some as old
as so years-have been called to the
colors in the last few days, and
the army is now virtually at full
strength.
Highways and railroads in the
eastern part Of the country were
jammed as reinforcements, includ-
ing tanks and heavy artillery,
streamed toward the Rumanian
frontier. During the night long
volumns of requisitioned horses
moved through the streets of Buda-
pest en- route to the front.
Danube Bridges Guarded.
Anti-aircraft guns with full crews
stood guard at all the main bridges
over the Danube River Blackout
lights were strung over the streets
of the capital, and gendarmes took
over from regular police the task
Of guarding the railway station.
There was every indication that
Hungary intends to use force if
necessary to regain the disputed
border province Of Pennsylvania,
which she lost to Rumania in 1918,
although some hope remained that
Germany, anxious to preserve peace
in the Balkans, might be able to
effect compromise settlement.
The return to Budapest of Laszlo
Bardossy, Hungarian Minister to
Bucharest. stirred speculation that
some sort OF negotiations were in
the air. There were reports he had
brought back q report on the extent
to which Rumania might be willing
to satisfy Hungarian demands.
Reports of domestic strife in Ru-
mania, threatening King Carols
place upon the throne, gave rise,
however, to popular belief that the
time is ripe for Hungary to strike.
Carols Position Insecure.
Diplomatic circles reported that
King Carol was on the verge Of abdi.
eating several days ago because Of
criticism Of his surrendering Bessa-
rabia and Northern Bucovina to So
Wet Russia. The monarch was said
to have been dissuaded by members
of his cabinet, but a wave of disor-
ders apparently left his position far
from secure.
Fresh reports of persecution Of
the Hungarian minority in Tran
sylvania increased demands here for
action.
Addressing the Hungarian Par
Lament yesterday, one deputy as
serted that military requisitioning by
the Rumanian government in Tran
sylvania was taking on the charac-
ter of free looting OF Hungarian
property"
Bulgaria-seeking Southern Do
bruja from Rumania-appeared
calm. There were no indications Of
extensive Bulgarian military prepa-
rations, and some troops were re-
ported to have been given leaves.

precisely opposite" political and
international views. Add Willkie
and McNary and divide by two and
what result have you got?" Mr..
Ickes asked. For one thing, you

Senator McNary before the con-
vention, he said, had predicted that
if Mr.. Willkie were nominated the
Republicans would lose the entire
West.
"We have the spectacle" Mr.. Ickes
said, "of Willkie saying in effect that
he is against everything McNary
stands for, but he wants McNary."
He declared that the result con-

In response to queries as to

"And I think we should send

Nazi-Soviet Relations Discussed.
The status Of German Soviet rela-
lions was topic of speculation in
diplomatic circles. It was reported
that a German general arrived today
to confer with a military mission
already in Bucharest.
A German delegate who went to
Bessarabia to look after the interests
of German citizens there returned
to Bucharest with the report that
Soviet authorities refused to let him
enter.
A number Of prominent Jews were
believed to have been killed in the
anti-Semitic riots.
The morning papers carried the
obituary of Adolphe Chopper, wealthy
Jewish hotel owner at Sinaia. The
cause Of his death was not stated.
Scores were injured, some believed
fatally, in the riots which occurred
last night in Bucharest and other
places ranging from the capital to
Jassy, near the border Of Russian
occupied Bessarabia. Today the dis
orders extended throughout the
country.

The government appeared to be
making little Roadway in checking
the attacks, despite reinforcing of
police in many places. Troops were
rushed to the scenes of disorders but
usually arrived too late. Mean
while attacks broke out elsewhere.
Many wealthy Jews fled to the
country and others remained inside
their homes. Bucharest has between
100000 and 100000 Jews.
The attacks started Sunday near
the Bessarabian border.
Official quarters made no effort to
minimize the seriousness of these
disorders, coming at a time when
Hungarian troops were massed on
the frontier in support Of Hungary's
claim for return Of Pennsylvania
and when Bulgaria was pressing for
a similar annexation of Southern
Dobruja.
The Rumanian Parliament was
scheduled to meet today after two

Germany Disapproyes
Swiss War Attitude,
Expe|s Correspondent
Neutral Border Nation
Is Finding Position
More Difficult

By the Associated Press.
BERN Switzerland. July B.
Switzerland, acutely aware Of her
position as an island of democracy
in the midst of totalitarian lands,
heard with concern today the first
echoes of criticism from Germany.
Only last night German troops
occupied the last of the former
French outposts along Switzerland S
western border.
Correspondent Expelled.
The Swiss cooked an attentive ear
to these two statements from
Berlin:
l. In comment on expulsion from
Germany of Reto Caratsch, chief
Berlin correspondent of the leading
Swiss newspaper Neue Zuricher
zeitung, an authorized Nazi spokes-
man said that 'if such reporting
had continued it would have en-
dangered the existence of the Swiss
state" The spokesman said the
action resulted from comment on
Soviet German relations.
2. The German radio said British
bombers which reached German
cities on Lake Constance Sunday
and then flew south to drop some
bombs in Swiss peat boys and forests
had flown over Swiss territory to get
at Germany.
Although the Swiss government
has made no comment on these
two incidents, President Marcel
Pilet- has warned his coun-
trymen in effect that their life
henceforth will be no bed Of roses.
Position Is Difficult.
The Swiss press has devoted many
editorials to the nations new po-
sition in Europe following the COL
lapse of France.
The Gazette de Lausanne, leading
newspaper of French-speaking parts
of Switzerland, said: I'VE must
study without prejudice the con-
ceptions and institutions which are
modelling new Europe. But there
is no question of copying them
servilely. An independent Switzer-
land, based on her armed neutral
ity, is in the interest of all Europe"
Partial rehabilitation of the
Swiss Army has begun, but Cen
eralissimo Henri Guisan in q COM
munique today emphasized that it
was only partial and said the kind
of troops kept under arms would
be decided primarily by "the needs
Of national defense"
1t is believed that these units
will include a large number of
anti-aircraft and aviation detach-
ments.

military department ordered con-
tinuation of construction Of bomb
proof shelters mo matter what the
political situation may be at this

For the 18th time In three
years and the Sd time within
the last 10 days, burglars last
night entered Mrs. Alice Rhind's
restaurant next door to Metro
politan Police Headquarters.
Two hams, two chickens, sill
verware and sugar were found
in two abandoned sacks near
the door, leading investigators
to believe the burglars were
frightened away.
Mrs. Rhind, who stopped

United States under certain condi-
tons, but that he would do so only
for defense purposes. Ford auto

Dual Roadway To The
New Span

Strenuous protests of the town
commissioners of Perryville to the
proposed diversion of heavy traffic
that will pass over the new SusQue-
hanna Bridge when it opens Satur-
day, July II, to Aiken Avenue has
resulted in promise of the CONVEX
sion of the thoroughfare into dual
highway with a parked center.
The commissioners protested the
use of the avenue between the
Philadelphia Road and the bridge
approaches, because Of the shallow
depth of the water mains, contend
ing that heavy trucks that would
use the street would soon cripple
the towns water system.
The State Roads Commission at
first was reported to have been re-
luctant to do anything about the
matter, but following an investiga-
ton, they agreed to widen the
street, resurface it, and block of
the center over the water mains for
a parked section. The highway will
permit two lanes of traffic.
