STRICT CONTROL DANUBE UNDERTAKEN FOLLOWING RECEIPT NAZIS THREATS

BUCHAREST, April F - A Rumanian decree tonight prohib- ited indefinitely all exports of wheat, petroleum, coal and wood, thereby cutting off Germany's main source of supplies from southeastern Europe.
 The government economic coun cil under Prime Minister Tatar- escu decided to void all wheat contracts the government has un til further notice because of a prospective crop failure.
 The government also ordered all foreign deliveries of petrol cum, coal and wood stopped un til adequate reserves are assur- ed for the army and railroads.

the success of the winter relief campaign, to which three billion marks had been voluntarily con- tributed, was evidently calculat- ed to prepare the German people for still greater sacrifics. The Nazi propaganda minister reveal ed that the government was now taking over all private wealth and private property to insure victory over the Allies.
 Said Goebbel: All private pro perty, all personal possessions, must today be placed at the dis posal of the nation. You must know that if we lost the war, the position of the individual will be much worse than it is now"

land. His next berth was as sec ond mate on the Indian Monarch, mine-destroyed 700 miles from St. Helena.
 In three boats the crew set out for safety. The captains and first mates boats headed for the coast of Africa. Grants boat sailed for St. Helena. They made it in sev- en days, after rationing 30 gal Ions of water by the thimbleful. The other two boats were never heard from.
 His next ship hit mine in Bris tol channel 15 miles from shore. Then his next vessel, the Karpat, was torpedoed. The San Andrea, his final berth, was torpedoed off Port Said in September, 1918.
 But Captain Grant has sworn off playing filtration with Davy Jones. The Musa is in the New York-Central American service, well within the neutrality zone, and that suits Captain Grant just fine. Five times sunk and nary a scratch is pushing luck and the Scotch skipper isn't anxious to test the law of averages any more.
 Grant, since becoming an Am erican citizen, has described his adventures in four books. "The Half Deck" Consigned to Davy Jones" Take to the Boats" and "The Heel of a Gale.'
 His home is in New York.

HITLER TAKING OVER ALL PRIVATE WEALTH, PRIVATE PROPERTY, BRING VICTORY

BERLIN, April IT - Propag- anda Minister Joseph Goebbels claimed tonight that Germany was slowly but surely winning the war and that the struggle had entered its decisive phase. Goebbels revealed the govern ment'S decision to confiscate all private wealth and private pro- perty to help secure complete and final victory over what he called the "monstrous Anglo French plutocracy.'
 GoebbelS spoke in Berlin's sportpalace, summarizing the re- suits of the winter relief pro- gram. His bitter, dramatic utter anceS thrilled. the large crowd into new confidence that the fight ing on the Scandinavian front has given the Nazi cause an im- portant advantage.
 Said Goebbels: Our Fuehrer did not want this war. Often enough he stretched out his hand to the Western Powers, offering reconciliation, but they preferred war rather than discuss Ger many's vital problems. Now that war has been thrust upon us, we are ready to win, and we will win"
 The Nazi propaganda mouth piece described an alleged Anglo French plot to dismember Ger many and take over her 36,000,- 900 inhabitants, but said last weeks developments in Scandin- avia proved that young Ger many cannot be defeated.

However, MT. Roosevelt still is very much a speaker to be reckoned with and it would be very interesting from a public speaking standpoint to have him meet MT. Hoover in a return bout"
 Thomas E. Dewey, New York City's District Attorney, ranked next in order of effectiveness with a "B-pluS.' Vice President John N. Garner. Professor Ny berg declared, could receive no better than a grade of 'incom- plete' inaSmuch as he is an un- known quantity from the public speaking standpoint"
 Robert A. Tafts approach is uncertain" he continued, "as if he were undecided whether to initiate his father, William How ard Taft, or Teddy Roosevelt" :" He was given a "C" rating.
 The same grade was given to Paul B. McNutt, Federal Security Administrator, whom Professor Nybeog described as "an orator, not a public speaker"
 The harsh quality of Arthur H. Vandenberg's voice often gets him an unfavorable hearing in spite of the high quality of the content of his speeches" he said. The Michigan Senator was rated on the same level as MT. Dewey.
 Of Postmaster General James A. Farley, Professor Nyberg said: AS a catch-as-catch-can speaker Jim Farley delivers a remark able speech, but when he reads a speech he lacks effectiveness"
 Among the possible dark horse candidates Professor Nyberg awarded Representative Bruce Barton a B and Secretary of State Cordell Hull a "C."

Hoover Is Listed 'A-Plus' Orator

Herbert Hoover has improved as a speaker more than any other man in public life and at the pres ent time leads all the possible Presidential candidates in the con tent and delivery of his speeches, according to Professor Elmer E. Nyberg of the New York Univer- sity School of Commerce. who has made a study of speech char acteristics of prominent public figures. President Roosevelt, he said, has lost ground as a speak Ner.
 In conducting the study, Pro- lessor Nyberg used the same methods of grading he applies in his regular and adult classes, On the basis of content, structure and delivery to recent addresses, he rated MT. Hoover as an A plus Speaktr in sharp contrast 10 the grade of ''D' which he awarded the former Republican President in 1928.
 According to Professor Nyberg, the quality of President Roose- velt's speeches lately has shown a decline from the high point they held in his first and in the early part of his second Admins trations. Whereas MT. Roosevelt formerly was graded as an A plus speaker, Professor Nyberg now puts him down as A minus"
 President Roosevelfs chief ef tectiveness lay in his charm and personality which was indicative of cheerful and friendly indiv- idual,' he declared, When he starts to scold and scatter mean inglesS cliches through his talks his speeches lost much of their former appeal and effectiveness. Educators long have recognized that you cannot scold people in 10 better ways. The educative pro cess is better enhanced when 1t is undertaktn on a friendly and encouraging basis. The PreSi- dents own record will bear this out.

Alsop-kintner Book
Interests Roosevelt

President Roosevelt yesterday de-
scrlbed as extremely interesting
The American White Paper" re-
cent book by Joseph Alsop and Rob-
ert kintner purporting the inside
story of American diplomacy since
the Munich crisis.
The President added that if it
were not for the fact that it might
be considered advertising some one
else's wares, he would say that he
had enjoyed reading the book.
His comment was considered sig
nificant in view of the books pre-
diction that the administration
would be inclined to give more active
aid to England and France if it
should appear they were in danger
of being defeated by Germany.
The book emphasized that stale
mate in the war or imminent dan
ger of allied defeat would force the
American people to choose between
aiding the allies "by methods no
longer short of war" or taking the
consequences of a Germany victory
which might mean bidding farewell
to traditional American ideals of
liberty.
Mr.. Roosevelt's praise of the pub
lication reinforced the widespread
belief that it accurately reflected the
administration viewpoint and was
prepared with the active co-opera-
ton of high officials here.
