the Hungarian-Rumanian dispute
over Pennsylvania may be discussed
by Italian Foreign Minister Count
Galeazzo Ciano on his visit to
Berlin.
These quarters said an offer by
Yugoslavia to mediate in the dis

preferred the offices of an axis
power. Hungary is on a complete
war footing.
1t was thought here that Count
Ciano's talks will deal with Rumania

Russia.
The Sofia correspondent of the

that there was intense Russian mill
tary activity in Bessarabia and that

The correspondent said a Soviet
attack on Rumania's Black Sea coast
and Danubian ports might be ex-
pected soon.

Doctor Shot 10 Death
By Mystery Patient
In Akron Office
Lack Of Motive
Hampers Police
In Slayer Search

By the Associated Press.
AKRON, Ohio, July 6.--Lack Of Q
known motive hampered police to.
day in their search for the unidenti-
fled slayer of DR.. Malcolm D. Miller,
IS, Akron physician, who was shot
last night as he sat at his ONCE
desk.
His assailant strobe into the Of
flee and fired five times before the
doctor, an expert marksman, could
take aim with an old, Western-type
revolver he had pulled from the
desk.
DR.. Miller's wife, Ruby, "a, who
was substituting for the regular Of
flee attendant, fled to another room
in the downtown building as the as
sailant also threatened her.
Threatened Wife.
Detective Inspector Verne Cross
quoted Mrs. Miller as saying her

doctor as he entered the Office, and
was told to make an appointment.
AS she suggested an appointment
time, Mrs. Miller related, the as

Only a moment after Mrs. Miller
left the Office, she heard the fatal

Clues Are Missing.

his first wife about eight years ago,
and the present Mrs. Miller is his
former secretary.
