The veteran Oregon senator. long

He described power as "the

BUDAPEST, Hungary, Aug. 81
LR,-The Hungarian and Rumanlan
foreign ministers, it was learned
tonight, have been urgently sum-
moned to a conference with axis
spokesmen in Vienna in an appaf-
ent move by Italy and Germany
to make a quick settlement OF the
Balkan crisis lest Soviet Russia
have opportunity to move turther
into that rea
Specifically, they were called to
meet Thursday in Vienna with
Count Galeazzo Ciano, the Italian
foreign minister.
Just before this became known,
the German and Italian ministers
to Rumania left Bucharest by plane
for consultations with their govern
ments, carrying detailed reports
of a sharp and bloody clash be-
tween Soviet and Rumanian troops.
At about the same time, the Ger
man and Italian ministers to
Budapest also left here.
To Seek Settlement
The Vienna meeting was under
stood to be designed to force a
settlement Of Hungary's claims
upon Rumania for Pennsylvania
which would avoid a war disturb
ing to the Balkan productivity so
necessary to Adolf Hitler and
Benito Mussolini in their war with
Britain, and make an end to the
long crisis atmosphere. 1t was
learned that both Ciano and Joa-
chin Ribbentrop, the German for
eign minister would attend.
Accounts of the Soviet-Rumanian
clash first reached Budapest dip
lomatic dispatches from Rumania
and subsequently were confirmed
by Soviet circles in Bucharest.
These dispatches indicated that
the fight, in which several hundred
troops were killed, had begun aft
er Russians had overstepped the
Rumanian frontier at a point where
Rumanian troops had been remov-
ed for service in Pennsylvania.
Reports Confirmed
Subsequently the staff of the So
Wet legation in Bucharest confirm
ed that a bloody clash between So
Wet and Rumanian troops occur
red Sunday and Monday with
heavy casualties on both sides.

Street Work
Starts Soon
City Sells $4,000 Bond
Anticipation Notes At
Record Interest Rate
GETS STARTING FUNDS
Wade Says Project Pro-
vides For Improvement OF
Every Important Street

Following the sale yesterday by
the City of Wilmington of $70,O OO
bond anticipation notes at a record
low rate of interest, j. E. L. Wade,
commissioner of public works, said
work on the street program, for
which the notes were issued, will
start on September 5.
The city will pay but three
fourths of one per cent on the notes
and will receive a premium OF
$34.15 according to an Associated
Press dispatch from Raleigh tell
ing of the sale by the Local Gov
eminent commission.
The bonds were purchased by
Kirchofer and Arnold, of Raleigh.
The funds will be used to get the
street program under way.
Wade said the street work will
cost approximately $555, 977, includ-
ing federal funds, and will provide
for the paving or resurfacing of
practically every important street
in the city.
When this work is completed,
coupled with that already carried
out under, the original street prof.
ect, Wilmington will probably have
a higher percentage of paved
streets than any other cityin North
Carolina, Wade said.
Bids Opened
Meanwhile, bids on materials and
equipment to be used in the pro-
gram have been opened. Follow
ing an examination and analysis
Of the bids, Wade will make a re-
port and recommendation to the
city council at its meeting this

A portion of the equipment con-
tracts we're awarded at the meet
ing on August IA. The remainder
of these and the material contracts
will probably be awarded at to-
days meeting.
The sale yesterday was the first
of a series of bond anticipation
notes planned by the city to fin
nee the WPA project.
Present plans cali for two addi-
tional sales totalling $50, 900 each.

Peace Important

was of the highest importance to
them. To that end, the status of
Rumania-with which Germany
has important trade agreements
for acquisition of war essentials

budapest reports said the Hun
