D. {. Bankruptcy Ruling
Bars Pleas Of Nearby

The United States Court of Ap-
peals today held that residents of
nearby Maryland and Virginia who
are employed in the District but who
DO not have a place of business of
their own here, may not file petitions
for bankruptcy in District Court.
The decision is considered i'm
portant because of the many who
live outside of the District but whose
creditors largely are located in
Washington. Under the ruling
nearby Maryland residents employed
here must file for bankruptcy in
Baltimore.
The courts opinion, written by
Chief Justice D. Lawrence Groner.
was handed down in the case of
Ambrose j. Higgins, who lives near
Silver Spring, Md, but who works
IN the District.
Mr.. Higgins had filed petition in
District Court. However, State Loan
Co. of Mount Rainier, Md, one of
Mr.. Higgins creditors, claimed Dis
trlct Court had no Jurisdiction.
District Court upheld the conten-
ton of the loan company, repre-
sented by Attorney Camden R. Nc
Atee. Mr.. Higgins took it to the
Court of Appeals, which affirmed
the lower courts decision.

Coup in Bessarabia
May Deal 2-Edged
Blow 10 GERMANY
Soviet in Position to
Halt Oil Supply and
Danube Traffic
BY LELAND STOWE,
Chicago nailv News Tore{1o rorrernop


ISTANBUL, June 20 (By Radio -
Soviet Russia's uncontested an
nexation of .Bessarabia may pos
sibly prove almost as great a blood
less victory is that scored by the
Nazis at Munich. In any case, two
immeasurable shifts IN Europe's
strategical balance of power have
suddenly been achieved without a
gun being fired.
First, Red airplanes can now
shower incendiary bombs upon Ru-
manias richest oil wells and re-
fineries at Polesti in a A5-minute
flight. Second, it seems that the
Russians will either hold or domi-
nate Galatz, which is the key. port
on the Lower Danube. Whoever
controls Galatz can shut off all oil
and other traffic headed for Ger
many at the mouth of the Danube.
At Narvik the Allies tried. but
failed, to get the whip hand over the
Swedish iron ore mines upon which
Germany is vitally dependent. In
Bessarabia the Soviets moved into
a position of permanent threat to
the Nazis' oil supplies without which
Germany cannot hope successfully
to attack the British Isles.
Could Shut Off Oil for Reich.
If it is still uncertain whether
Moscow is ready openly to oppose
Hitler, the fact remains that the
Russians are now ideally situated to
close Germany's absolutely essential
oil faucet in Rumania should they
decide to do so. In 1889 Germany
obtained nearly 100000 out of
her 45,000,000 barrels from these
same Rurnanian oil fields and the
percentage has increased consider
ably since the war began.
Majority opinion in Southeastern
Europe remains skeptical about the
durability OF Nazi-Soviet co-opera-
tion and insists that Hitler will turn
on Russia, if his hands are free of
British opposition. and that Stain
is acting on this anticipation.
Most political reallsts agree upon
the fundamental animosity between
the Berlin and Moscow relationships.
Nazis in the Balkans yesterday and
today could not conceal their dis
pleasure over the Soviets' coup in
Bessarabia.
Blow Would Be Devastating.
All this means that Stain has
equipped himself with a very potent
holdup gun with which he may
seriously embarrass Germany later
on, for no blow to the Nazis could
be more devastating than the firing
of the Rumanian Oil wells and the
closing of the Danubian traffic to
Germany at the moment when the
wars issue is in the balance. The
Soviets may not go that far, but
they now can take the plunge If
convinced that the game is worth
the candle.
For the present. it looks as If
Moscow has won the first big round
in the Balkans and also that her
pressure on Yugoslavia, Bulgaria
and Turkey is by no means finished.

He declared the federation he

When the Congress recently
adopted measures to purge Com

labor group, not affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor, Bit
terly opposed these measures, and
lent itself to underhanded attacks
on the Federal Bureau of Investiga-

Urges War on Racketeers.
Mr.. Green also called on the police
of the country to stamp out labor

you would stamp out racketeering
in business or in any other walk OF
life"
IF you meet situation in the
elimination of wrongdoing where

Dead in Two Big Battles
$4,000, De GauIIe Says

By the Associated Press.
LONDON. June 29.-French Gen
Charles De Gaulle estimated today
that the German forces captured
$4,000 men in the Flanders phase
of the big battle in Belgium and
France and 100000 in the Battle
of France" killing $4,000 and
wounding about 100000.
The figures were issued by Prof
Denis Saurat. director of the
French Institute.
De Gaulle was quoted by Saurat
as asserting the French Army was
beaten without being able to fight
because the German tanks behind
the front line destroyed supply con-
voys, because the civil population
made the roads impossible and be-
cause in many cases troops had to
surrender because of lack of am
munition.
De Gaulle's estimate on casual
ties included all Allied troops. Pre-
sumably it did not count final ac-
tions after Premier Petain an
nounced he was suing for an arm
istice.

BERLIN, June 29.-The publ

warned North and South American

manning economic areas of the earth
by British despotism," the publica-
tion said.
"It could see itself forced to Sc
cure and organize it's vital needs
where they cannot be touched from
the outside. Whether and in what
measure this self-security must be
piled will depend greatly on
whether we must. in the long run,
deal with friendly or hostile

the forthcoming meeting of the
American republics. The Foreign
Ministers of the 20 other American
republics will meet with United

words, America for the Americans,
Europe for Europeans" and said
@that is the view not only of the
Reich and its friends. but also that

world must reckon"
> The decision on the attitude for
the Americans to adopt toward the
new Europe Lies on that side of the
ocean," 1t said.
Rearmament and the strength

countries were welcomed by Ger

to be hoped that, thereby, the wave
of agitation and war hysteria will
vanish. The ocean in the age of

Five Gypsum Firms
10 Be Prosecuted
On Trust Charges
Nine individuals Also
Indicted as Grand Jury
Ends Long Inquiry

The Justice Department today
was preparing to prosecute some Of
the Nations leading gypsum firms
under indictments handed down by
a District Court grand jury yester-
day charging conspiracy in restraint
of trade.
Five corporations and nine officers
and employees are named in two in
dictments charging violations of
Sections I and III OF the Sherman
Antitrust Act. The grand jury has
been hearing evidence since April II.
U. S. Is Large User.
The firms indicted manufacture
gypsum board, wallboard and lath,
used in building construction. The
Federal Government uses wallboard
in substantial quantities in barracks
and other temporary structures.
The investigation was an out
growth of difficulty in construction
of public buildings here by the Gov
ernment, it was said. A similar
situation existed in private industry,
officials have contended.
Licensing Scheme Charged
The firms indicted manufacture
and sci! substantially all the gypsum
board sold in the United States east
of the Rocky Mountains, the true
bills declare. All the defendant
corporations have been parties to a
patent licensing scheme whereby
one firm has fixed the selling prices
of all the manufacturers, it was
claimed.
Named as defendants in the in
dictments were Certain -Teed Prod

Chicago Grain
BY the Associated Press.

-
CHICAGO, June 29-Wheat prices
declined further today due to favor
able weather conditions, optimistic
Canadian crop reports and liquida-
tion of July contracts prior to the
delivery period beginning Monday.
Early losses amounted to as much
as x cent but prices recovered at
times to around the previous close.
Prospects of large marketings in the
Southwest over the week end caused
some selling.
The complicated situation in the
Balkans. where much of Europe's
surplus bread grain Is raised, at
tracted attention but traders were
unable to judge what the ultimate
effect of hostilities in that region
would be on wheat demand in i'm
porting regions Of the continent.
Some sales were believed to have
been hedges against purchases of
new grain in the Southwest.
Scattered rains were received in
the spring wheat belt both sides of
the Canadian border, but the fore
cast was for generally fair and
warmer weather in the Northwest.
Not much precipitation was prom
ised for this area the coming week.
The market ignored yesterdays
late advance at Buenos Aires, where
prices were up around 4 cents due
to large exports from Argentina
and delayed seeding Of the new
crop. The Buenos Aires market was
closed today, but July contracts,
quoted yesterday up to IS cents,
were about on a par with Chicago
July futures.
At II am. wheat was %-34 lower
compared with yesterdays finish,
July, 75Hs; September, 75%, and
corn was M down, July, 60N;
